Editing starting classes

[6h0$t942]

I played this on xbox a lot, like i did with other dark souls games. Im only going to play this offline now, no interest in pvp or summoning.

I found a thread talking about how to edit a starting class in ds1, but is there a way to do it in ds2? I can figure out which class i want to start with for whatever i am aiming for, generally, but i want to play around with it some.

Thanks

I was never that interested in creating mods of my own, but if i had to guess, there's probably a "param"-file in one of the game's archives, that you need to extract and edit, if you want to create your own custom starting classes. Dunno which file you'd have to extract, though. This might help pointing you in the right direction: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/mods/1164/

It's also good you wanna stay offline, since editing params is a pretty safe way into softban-land.

There's another mod, that allows loading params loosely, so you don't have to extract and de-crypt them constantly, even if you only make slight changes:

I don't understand, basically player start chars are wet clay, you can level up and make them into anything you want. Unless you simply want improved starting char for an easier 'leg-up' at the beginning?

If so Perhaps just use one of the glitches already present in-game to give yourself an abundance of souls and level up to what you want. Your game, play it as you will offline.

OP's talking about making a custom mod so they can change a bit the flavour of the early game, not some overpowered early character, they sre asking for technical help with the game about a rather specific topic, not some general help about the gameplay.

Sorry to disrupt, I have no wisdom to share about the topic, just keeping tabs as this topic is of my interest.

if you want something different, you can download one of the overhaul mods off of the nexus
