Edit: Kinda getting the hang of this,impressed so far.

 

Something that's helped me is to treat that first part of Yharnam like a practice floor. Most every type of challenge you will face (at least up to the point that I am at) is there on that first level. There's mob control at the bonfires, there's beasts with the pair of wolves, there are surprise attacks in the Dark Residence, there are sneak attack opportunities, there's a hulking Executioner that you can leave alone if you'd like, and there is a boss who is really optional when it comes down to it.

 

Once I figured out that your success in the game is not really rooted in the gear that you have but rather in how good of a player you are, things made more sense. You really can pick most any origin and just about any weapon load out that you'd like; you can make them all work. What you can't do is to see how fast you can blitz through the game and just think that you're going to dominate every opponent you come across, the game doesn't work that way. You need to become a better player in order to progress in the game and that means that you need to figure out where and how you failed and fix that.

 

But that's just me.
