Cool.

@chaotic-7  
I hope it helps at least. If you want any more help, we have a Dark Souls thread where me can talk madly into the night.

Where was this video 2 1/2 years ago?!?!? All the other vids I’ve seen were on either weapons or character scaling.
 
Like I mentioned before I’ll probably take another crack at it soon, it’s just that I got to be in the mood for a Souls/Borne game. I actually have almost all of them too. Except for the remasters and Immortal Unchained (I think its a pretty unique spin on th game formula myself.)
 
But a game that I really beleive started it all was a game that was released back in the late 90’ s on the good ol’ PS1 called Nightmare Creatures. Though that is my opinion I’m sure there are other games that contributed to the genre as well.

@chaotic-7  
Here’s a video that will help you a bit.

Oh, because I thought 15 to 25 was the soft cap.

@chaotic-7  
No, 40 is the hard-cap for stamina, and it has no soft-cap.

@Meanlucario  
Thats what I heard, but I figured if I had him evened out early game then I could focus on either strength or skill stats to go with vitality. Isn’t 15 a soft cap for stamina? I cant remember.

@chaotic-7  
In Souls games, you want to specialize, not be well-rounded. Being a master of none only harms you, where focusing in one area of combat will help you a lot.

@Meanlucario  
I can barely make it past the first area without getting slaughtered. I think one of my best runs was with the waste of skin origin, once I was able to level up my guy I had him pretty well rounded out by level 10. I had all of his stats at 15 thinking that would set for a decent baseline so I could build up from the stats I wanted. But soon after I just kept getting killed (keep in mind this was all in the first area which proves just how much I suck at this game.)

@chaotic-7  
I’m addicted to it. It’s the only game I’ve got all the trophies for.

@Meanlucario  
I’ll probably get back into it one of these days.

@chaotic-7  
Everyone will have trouble with different foes.

@Meanlucario  
Oh cool. It’s funny I’ve had the game since the day of its release and I still struggle with getting past the first two bosses.

@chaotic-7  
Well, it was added because it is Bloodborne art.

I’m not tryin to nit-pic, but I noticed that there’s no Bloodborne tag on this, which is a shame because that category could use more awesome works like this.
