    This concerns me, as one of the key aspects of the game was that you have to choose to be very careful in the game and you were punished for taking overly long trips outside your immediate area. If you can just warp there is no more danger in traveling! It made sense in the second half of Dark Souls, but not so much now that we're starting from the beginning of the game with it, not unless there is a truly massive world, at least double the size of Dark Souls.

    It's obviously for the bonfires you already visited. There's no way you'll sit at your first bonfire and get the full list of locations right from the start.
    I would prefer if they took warping out completely, but since they are using warping they sould work it in the same way they did with DkS1 by using lore to add that ability at some point after the half-way mark.

    I expect the character looks the same but doesn't carry stats or equipment (obviously, it won't be the same equipment).

    If it does carry stats, I expect you are started in a NG+ cycle, but I doubt it would carry stats, especially since they will probably be working differently in this title.

    Maybe it was said in a previous post but has it been confirmed that would will be able to carry over your save game from DkS1?
    This doesn't sound like something that From would do. Or something that even makes sense (if it's a prequel) if you are going to be able to then that points toward a sequel, not a prequel.

    I don't actually remember where I saw it but it is un nerving. I don't want to make the same character I had in the first game. I want my new guy to look perhaps similar because I had a knight theme going with mine but I don't want to use the same armor. I want different weapons and gear to use, not carry over all my stuff.

    I agree. I just dont think From would do that. It doesn't seem to make sense. But if it's a sequel then possibly.

    I'm hoping it was nothing more than wild speculation. This would become a very over powered thing. Not because you're already starting with an endgame build but because you have new gear that may or may not be available ingame and anyone just now getting into souls games will have no way to aquire these gear without dark souls and might get the wrong impression from fromsoft.

    regarding the whole 'warping available from the start' thing. . it sounds like you can easily sidestep the issue, its also another rule for my DS2 'FIRST RUN' list:

    1- No wiki / forum participation until cleared
    2 - No focus on 'build', just fun, exploration and lookin' good!
    3 - No warping unless absolutely forced to do so (i.e trip to Anor Londo)
    4 - Invade & Assist often

    anybody feels like suggesting other additions then i'd love to hear em.

    I agree. I'm definitely not using a wiki the first time around. Plus the wiki won't have all that much at first.
    Another thing I want to to do that another thread suggested is record my first playthrough and upload it for all to see. I think anyone that has the capabilities to record there's games should do so as well. It would be so awesome to see how everyone did and what they did differently on there very first run through DkS2.

    Back on track now. I don't think that From is likely to use a character from a past souls game, unless they just base your starting stats on the types of damage you used most in pvp or pve to create a base class for you based on your favorite playstyle. Even that is something that I doubt is possible, does dark souls keep track of that info on each character you make?

    It called Zard Souls. . . . eat it!

    Ok, now that I got that out of the way! I am glad we're going to get a decent copy of Dark Souls II. As epic as Dark Souls was, I'd imagine it would have been even better with the port having been set up better.

    Biggest problem with Dark souls on pc (That wasent fixed in the first 15 min)

    was gfwl...hopefully since the game is server based that will solve itself this time around.

    Ok, now that I got that out of the way! I am glad we're going to get a decent copy of Dark Souls II. As epic as Dark Souls was, I'd imagine it would have been even better with the port having been set up better.

    Biggest problem with Dark souls on pc (That wasent fixed in the first 15 min)

    was gfwl...hopefully since the game is server based that will solve itself this time around.

    The problem with servers, though is that we could get things like the sim city fiasco, or the servers would eventually be shut down, making it impossible to play online. It's more of a short-term thing.
