Quote:I'm avoiding the Good Padre right now while I farm out. I'm just walking around mashing most anything that moves in order to level up my STR and SKL to at least 20 before I go in there. Cool thing is, I'm becoming a much better player as well as a stronger character, and I'm getting the tools to upgrade my gear.

 

What Origin did you select? And do you feel like it matters all that much?

Origin only really matters if you plan on min-maxing or PvPing, but otherwise not really. If you pick an origin for a specific stat and decide early on that you want to change it up you can always just level something else. The soft caps for the Arcane and Tinge stats are 25 and for STR and SKL it's 40, so once you pass those you'll be getting diminished gains. I forget what it is for Vitality and Endurance, I think it's 50 for those

 

I went with Noble Scion since I wanted to make a bloodtinge + skill player. Simon's Bowblade from the Old Hunters DLC made a lot of the bosses really easy

 

But yeah that's what I loved about the Souls games but Bloodborne specifically, was that the more I played the better I got at the genre in general, and when I went back to the Souls games I was surprised by how easy it was after being tortured in Bloodborne. Bloodborne, in my opinion, is significantly harder than any of the Souls games.
