OK - so can I tell you what I've been doing and what I want/need help with? Or are we keeping this thread completely free of any information about the game?
I dunno. I guess it is going to be a bit of a sleeper thread until people start finishing or making decent progression, then whack stuff in a spoiler tag.
Run all you want.
Obviously you miss out on souls if you do, souls that can be spent on goodies. Also you miss out on item drops.
I think running to a bonfire or past an area you have done before is fine though.
One bit of advice though is to always try and press foward, if it is too hard try another route or tactic but try to avoiding staying in one area grinding.

I'm just not confident of beating the big baddies just yet.
I guess my real question is:
Will I be meeting enemies that are at levels above my own that I have no chance of taking down? Or, if I run into a particularly hard enemy is it just that I need to get better?
@google every enemy is hard, its about learning their attack patterns. Also its about learning what you did wrong. You may run into some enemies where you get killed very easily and it's just too too difficult. Either a) keep fighting the said enemy or b) go do something else in the game, get stronger and return later
I've run through areas where some enemy's require no skill to kill and then to turn a corner where I'm being fucked over without so much as a toblerone.
@google
If you head in a direction and beat a bunch of guys then a tough enemy appears chances are they may be a mini boss and you need to get better (stats or technique).
If you follow a path and everything owns you then try elsewhere.
Remember you will die, just try to learn something from it.
I worry that someone will mention a minor part of the game, possibly even just asking for advice, and be jumped on for spoiling something that really isn't an issue.
Im gonna be reading this thread for awhile since not planning to buy the game till end of june (I hope I can hold out till then).
Got techie exams I gotta pass between now and then. Damn you dark souls 2!!!
What if, for example, you're stuck at Place X and need help. How would you communicate that without "spoiling" the name of Place X? Or would we be expected to just ask those questions in one of the other threads?
I know this is being a bit picky but we all know how precious Souls fans are about even the smallest details.
Naming the place and boss I think should be fine. How to beat him should be spoilered.
The dark souls forum on edge mag, there was a bunch of us starting at the same time and we helped each other without really ruining it for others. Or so I remember
I hope amazon put this in the post tomorrow so I get it a day early. Though having said that I've heard there are initial teething troubles with online on PS3 and they are doing maintenance to sort it on Thursday from 8am til 11pm so maybe it's better I get it on Friday.
