I also already have 5 ocs, one of which is an Omen, I have whole ass stories for these characters and I have my own rules as of why things work the way they do. I've also cried over the death of a couple of characters in game, accidentally agroed Yura and the double axe lady(I can't remember her name, but I don't care enough to look it up) which lead to me killing both of them. I still use Yura's sword which has carried me through this game due to it being twice the size of my starter sword and big bleed. My starter sword has poison mist on it so I do double sword with bleed on both and poison on left. Torrent is so necessary, I use him pretty much as much as possible and I have an item that boosts my damage while on goat horse. I am currently at the point where I have set the tree on fire, but haven't gotten the rune of death yet, mostly because big wolf scary and godskin duo. I've to my knowledge fully explored everything under Liurnia except for Caelid, but I'm working on that...slowly. I just really hate

that place. I've been having a lot of fun though, it's a really good game and please don't nerf bleed, it's my only way through the game. Also I just don't use magic because ew and same with incantations. I do have 38 spells and incantations though, but haha no I'll just keep my 9 int and 50 vigor thanks
