I have the PC version of DS3. Ask me anything.

Edit: It was fun answering questions for everyone.
Hope you all enjoy Dark Souls III on release.

Hey everyone, I've been playing Dark Souls III on PC for the past week and I am willing to answer any questions. If you're curious about performance or the gameplay in general, feel free to ask away.

I will try my best to answer your questions without spoiling the game or any bosses/areas.

Additionally, I've spent some time working on a way to make the game look better. I ended up coming up with a ReShade/SweetFX preset called Rekindled FX, which increases anti-aliasing and adds a lot of cinematic post-processing effects to Dark Souls 3, to make the overall gameplay experience look better.

You can download it from here:

You can also watch a video of it in action:

With that being said, ask away!

How much of your soul do you have left?

How is it in comparison to the other souls games? Also, I've heard that bosses health is quite low, is it true?

With all the time I've spent in-game, probably not much! I'm drained from playing but it's just so much fun. Very hard to stop.

I needed a break from playing and I figured this is a good way to start.

That's pretty subjective but I'd say it's up there next to DS1 and Demon's, it's very good.

Does the game stay @ a steady fps with gtx 980 ti, but only in the swamps arena,s it goes down to say like 45 fps ?

Thats @ least what i heard, and thats on full HD ultra settings.

It's on par with Dark Souls 1 and Demons Souls. There are a few things I liked more about Dark Souls than I do in Dark Souls 3, such as the variety of different environments in the game.

Boss fights work like this:
Patch 1.00 - Easy mode
Patch 1.01 - Medium mode
Patch 1.02 - Hard mode

So as you can see, with each patch they have exponentially increased the Boss health/armor and tweaked the overall enemies in the game. I have played on all three patches above, so I can confirm this.

So what's up with the roll? I can't get any confirmed info on that. Is it weight scaling like in DS2 or is it just divided into fast/med/slow ? Also agility is gone right?

I've noticed that the knight roll is pretty fast from the get go.

There is weight scaling for roll distance I believe. But there is really only fast roll and fat roll. Doesn't seem like there's much of a mid roll. No agility.

Can you share the game?

[oldcracks~-]

Are there +1, +2 rings like there was in darksouls 2 or will it be like darksouls 1 type rings ?

[Dragonofhonor]

Have you kicked the boss to death?

[Midnight]

Good to know. Other than that I would like to know whether this game has its ultimate "starting weapon" like Drake Sword from DS1 or Fire Longsword from DS2. Also, do you find more dex or str weapon in the early game?

[Seifer]

So multiplayer is solely based on Soul Level?

Is Soul Memory in the game? If so, does it have any impact on anything?

What happens if you equip multiples of the same spell? (ex. two soul arrows)

[T@ZZ]

Can you check if the PC version has native ps4 controller support?

The roll can damage enemies and temporarily stun them. It's still similar to the previous games. The weight scaling is more like Dark Souls1 and each time you put on heavy armor, it increases not just your weight but your poise as well. Agility is indeed gone but the stats are still similar to the previous Souls games.
