Am I liable to get hosed in Dark Souls like I did in Demon's Souls if I spread my stats thin, out of a case of 'ooooh shiny!' weapon / style switching as I play?

Is there any way to get into the Book of the Guilty besides breaking oath with a covenant? Like, can being a black phantom invader get you into the book straight up? I feel like that would be awesome, you get the immediate risk/reward of being a black phantom plus any white knights out there can get their white knight on

I just got an email from Amazon saying my release-day-arrival shipping is decidedly not going to arrive on release day

Yep Amazon just refunded me a whole ninety nine cents for failing to ship today, and now when I try to cancel it says "We're sorry. An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we're working to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Please try again in a few minutes." Of course it's been an hour, and I've got to go to work, so by the time I get home (scheduled early, to play Dark Souls ), it will claim to have shipped Real slick, Amazon, real goddamn slick t

I think I want to start again without having my Covenant chosen for me (stupid Clerics ). Is there any guidance anywhere yet on what the different Covenants give you/do for you/let you do, and how they get their vengeance on you for breaking oath?

I ate an invasion while I was talking to the undead burg merchant. Fucker backstabbed me while I was shopping. Then I kicked his rear end, sea bass. Then I used all four of my cracked red eye stones and got Invasion Failed on each. I need to figure out which covenant gives me infinite stabbin opportunities soon

Pierson posted:A little confusion over how the White Soapstone works. Is it used to summon other players to you, or does it let other players summon you to them? The latter. If you want to summon dudes to you, you have to be in human form and find their white sign (usually before a boss or at the start of an area). If you want to BE summoned, use the white soapstone and chill out for a while, someone'll be around eventually if you're in a good spot.

I think I have to stop playing this game for a while before I break it. I pretty consistently use up all ten of my estus flask charges getting through the enemies in the boar room of the undead parish. Not the boar himself; just all the assnuggets surrounding him. Gonna break my disc in a minute

You misunderstand--I killed the boar (through dumb luck) already. It's getting back through there that is ruining me. And I can't upgrade my poo poo, how am I supposed to do that? I haven't seen a blacksmith!

Jaros posted:If you're dumb like me you didn't realize that theres a shortcut from the bonfire to straight under the dragon bridge, you just have to kick the ladder down. I kept fighting all the way through to the Parish and running out of Estus flasks by the time I'd make it to the caped Knights. No, I got that one. I'm literally using all ten flask charges on the shitbirds in that one room. How am I supposed to not get stabbed when I got two turtling shield+spear users and when one attacks and I circle round the other one stabs me in the rear end in a top hat?

On the one hand, I know I should probably feel bad for using the Drake Sword. On the OTHER hand, I've not even made it to any bonfires in Undead Parish yet even WITH the sword, so it seems I need every bit of help I can get

Someone mentioned you could shoot the dragon from the top of the tower with the greatsword black knight on it on the way into Undead Parish. I'm on that tower but I can't see said dragon at all. Help?

Holy poo poo did I just summon an NPC to help me fight the Gargoyles? And holy poo poo did he just kick their asses? never leaving human form again Also reiterating my previous question, where do I go to nail the poo poo out of that dragon? I have his tail, I want his souls

Is there anything the Master Key unlocks that nothing else in the game can? Turns out I missed an important door that unlocks with the key you can buy from the merchant in the undead burg, but doesn't unlock with the master key--despite it being fine for all the OTHER doors that unlock with that key.

I know I can get rid of my curse by buying the cure from the female undead merchant by the lower burg, or by trading with Sparkly for the cure, but wasn't there a third option somewhere that I'm forgetting?

Something I'd like to see is one big giant map of the entire Dark Souls game world. Not so I can pinpoint items and bosses and junk, but just so I can see how the different zones interlink. The maps in the guide are good, mind, but that's a lot of page turning to find the routes. When I was a kid I had something like this for Super Metroid and it made my spatially-inept self feel so much better about exploring, even if it is a bit cheaty vv

Does being in a Covenant completely preclude me from being summoned by/summoning people who are in other covenants? I just want to farm souls by helping with the bell gargoyles but I haven't had a bite in a half hour, maybe it's because I always go join Way of White immediately?
