I'm just going to start with depraved and just spec into whatever the best weapon I can find at that time
best part of souls is the first blind playthrough (except when they hide a really important bonfire! that kinda ruins it)
dark souls 1 I found a black knight greatsword and just ran with that the whole game even though I dont think I ever got it to +5
think dark souls 2 I was rocking the flame longsword initially then the claymore
so maybe i should avoid 2h sword this time but who knows might find a really nice one
