So, apparently leveling works much as it did in demons.

I'm really liking DaS2, it has a really good feel to it. I'm digging how everything looks too. Those huge ogre things at the beginning certainly are terrifying. I am having a hard time picking which covenant I want to be in though lol

also praise Yeezus for the pre-order weapons because holy shit I need to git gud again

I got it on PS3. I got really lucky and someone returned their Black Armor edition because their PS3 broke when they got home lol

I found a Fire Longsword.

i actually had no idea pre-order weapons were a thing

i only pre-ordered it because of the black armor edition case, and because it was the same price as a typical new game anyway

I was hoping they were still going to be found in the game, but I guess people wanted the community weapons early or something

I gave the soundtrack a listen to....
Love it

Also, I'm level 55 with access to most of the beginning areas so if anyone else is playing now we can play together or w/e

so this whole enemy extinction thing. normal enemies can be killed permanently. most people are saying it seems to take 15 kills to make an enemy stop respawning forever.

pros:
-less enemies in your way if you're having to do the same area over and over

cons:
-soul farming obviously limited
-if you miss a rare drop and you've killed all the enemies that drop it permanently, you're boned. you'll have to try again in NG+.

in terms of difficulty, it's a double-edged sword. obviously you'll be farming less souls and less effigies so eventually becoming stuck at 50% health with no more effigies to farm in an area is a very real possibility, making boss strategy that much more important. at the same time though, your path to the boss will obviously be much easier.

i mostly dislike this system, largely for the issue of missing rare drops, but i guess i can see why From might have thought it was a good idea.
