    this is going to be my first ever souls game, super pumped to be immersed in this beautiful world

    The prisoner looks like Griffith from the Berserk series, when the band of the hawks rescued him from prison. He also used a rapier. That can't be coincidence. Previous installments also were heavily inspired by Berserk.

    I'm going with my favourite build from dark souls 3... the Gandalf build. Left hand staff. Right hand sword. Shout " you shall not pass " at the bosses.
  • @MinersLoveGames
    Prophet, Prisoner, or Confessor are definitely looking to be my choices for my first playthrough. I've always liked being able to compensate my martial combat with spells, and felt that locking myself into a strictly magic or strictly melee build deprived me of a lot of content.
  • @dgeo8939
    can't wait to see someone playthrough as the base wretch for the whole game
  • @Conquerors_Haki
    Definitely going with the samurai class, the legacy of Jin Sakai continues

    Vagabond: Tank Warrior: Speedster Hero: Berserker Bandit: Assassin Astrologer: Mage Prophet: Cleric Samurai: Physical jack of all trades Prisoner: Duelist Confessor: Magical jack of all trades Wretch: Lethal joke character
  • @crybaby4630
    The Prisoner aka Griffith or The Wretch seems like the right choice if you want it harder at the start.
  • @revelation9125
    Tbh Samurai is looking like my choice for the classic dex katana build but bandit also sounds pretty interesting. Plus Samurai gets bonus points for starting with the uchigatana, I’m glad it’s returning. Although “faith based assassin” build for the confessor sounds tempting as hell

    Been loving the more recent IGN videos. You can tell the people doing the newer reviews truly love video games and that reference to the Bioshock Infinite Boys of Silence let me know this guy knows his stuff haha.
  • @draco2xx
    confessor is my #1 choice my 2nd choice is the warrior those double swords with fast offensive power is lovely
  • @Dairykota
    Truth be told, the Bandit class has specifically caught my eye as of now. High initial arcane, sweet.
  • Definitely Hero or Confessor, Love the strenght builds but Confessor looks like such a fun class fantasy
  • @Neofilmcritic
    Confessor for me, love the idea of having an all around magic and decent physical
  • @angelc8420
    Samurai or confessor that’s the question…
  • @Gofr5
    Started with Astrologer. Going into my usual heavy int build. May try to make it a melee/int hybrid later on, but for now it'll be a pure caster.
  • @Gloamy17
    Confessor for me! Melee/magic build has been awesome so far. Fire and restoration magic is so useful. Also both the Twinblade and Demounter have by far been best in class - those along with the Tortoise shield of course 😌
