Do you prefer to okay melee only? Do you 100% every area you come across? Do you stick to a particular weapon type throughout your playthrough?

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I always look for the biggest, most ridiculous greatsword imaginable and exclusively use it for the rest of the game, even if it sucks. Not sure why, I’ve just always done it. I don’t like hammers or axes though. Only swords, and only massive two handed ones. If the biggest sword is a magical sword, looks like I’m levelling intelligence/faith/whatever it needs. Needless to say, my Elden Ring playthroughs always start by making a beeline to Caelid to grab GUGS. Then when I enter the DLC I get the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword as soon as I can. DS3? GUGS then FUGS. DS1? Zwei right out of the gate. Not sure why, it’s just always how I play these games.
