I just made it to the Iron Keep in Dark Souls 2. Every year or two ill play through the entire Dark Souls series trying out new builds. I’m doing a dex based power stance build this time. I’ve never done power standing in DS2 before and so far it’s going well. I’m using the falchion and scimitar right now, but am likely going to try out rapiers. I did a powerstance rapiers build in Elden Ring and it was incredibly OP but very fun still. Once I get to DS3 I’ll go with an INT build, for some reason I’ve never done that in DS3.
I’m currently replaying DS3. Just got to Irithyll a couple nights ago. Currently running GUGS until I’ve got the stats for FUGS (my personal favourite weapon in the game)
I’ve tried getting into DS2 many times and just haven’t been enjoying it ever. Not sure what to do, I want to like the game and I want to 100% it like I have with other FS games. Hopefully one day it’ll click for me
DS2 is definitely the odd one of the bunch. I completely understand anyone not getting into it. There’s not really anything major that makes it stand out as being different, but like dozens of small differences that add up. There are very interesting builds that keep me coming back to play it.
It sucks too because I’m a huge fan of the other FS games I’ve played. Elden Ring, Dark Souls 1 & 3, and Sekiro are some of my all-time favourites and those four games probably have more playtime than almost any other game, but I just can’t seem to get into the second one. I’ve picked it up so many times and after one play session don’t want to touch it again
