Ugh, why can't this game come out sooner? The Souls series is honestly one of the best series ever made. The worries I had are almost all washed away now. It has the feel, the fighting is cool, you don't have a ton of HP or DEF (at least not in the preview...) so you can die just as easily. I think, at least from what I've seen, they have only made it better. I don't know why they didn't slide down the ladder <_< that was annoying to watch... but I'm so excited D: Idk I'm gonna need to actually play it before I can stop worrying... Almost all the times they took damage it could probably have been easily avoided if they had used some caution.
On a more amusing note the mentioned the darkened area and using a torch was a new feature... Apparently Tomb of the Giants never existed XD

They could have an area like that anyway. They could add a strong wind that blows out your torch and no way to light it once inside

Looks good so far. Only concern is it seems some of the fodder mobs hit for lower damage than they should imo. Idk if that's a result of the gear or GM status or anything along those lines, but hoping they ramp dmg up by release.

Well he is wearing what looks like pretty heavy armor and seems to be doing quite a slow roll. That's about how much the lowest tier of fodder hits for in the other games on NG if you're heavily armored.

They may have turned the damage down to show how it works without dying all the time lol

Also remember that there will be NG+ and stuff. It's possible they make the first playthrough easier, but made each NG more difficult than DS1.

Well, they still died a lot which was nice (and also with the exception of the wyvern thing seemed to be 100% user error, which is good - Souls series is great because almost all deaths are 100% your fault and we don't want any false difficulty coming into it)!

I'm sure the Wyvern thing will become obvious when you play, at least when you're paying attention. I'm sure you have to do something to prevent that (like use your bow and hit them when they land or get close to prevent it falling).

I don't mind the odd thing like the Wyvern happening since it keeps you nice and on edge (and it does seem like you could see it coming... I mean... precarious rope bridge with wyverns all about...) - would just be an issue if "random instant death" became prevalent.
I would love to see more areas like Sen's Fortress. Love it or hate it, that area was basically the very essence of Dark Souls.

You think it might be Dark Souls II's version of the Hellkite Dragon?

I kind of hope the dragons get a bit more fun/sophisticated to fight. Gaping Dragon and Kalameet were good but I thought Hellkite Dragon/Red Dragon/Blue Dragon were some of the worst bits of the series (Hellkite was fun as a dynamic obstacle but I thought the actual fight sucked)!

The place with all the dragons, the bridges and the castle in the back looks really beautifull. Really can't wait to play this baby Q_Q
