Darker Souls - Dark Souls 3 Overhaul Mod

Introduction

Between me and Dark Souls 3 there has always been a love-hate relationship, but I guess that's the case with all Souls players.

One thing that I absolutely loved about the game was the abundance of different types of melee weapons. However, it's not all cool and dandy because most of those weapons become redundant fast, and are easily replaced by others that are simply superior, while some are just...useless, and they won't be used, ever, and I despise that with all my heart. <3  Wanna use that cool new whip you've just got your dirty casul hands on? Well... YOU CAN'T! 'CAUSE YOU'LL SUCK EVEN HARDER BY USING IT! That being said, if you are a melee weapons junkie like me, you're gonna probably like this mod.

Also a big let down was when I realized that the dreaded Dark Souls combat was becoming more and more of a stun-lock-one-shot-mortal-kombat-style-flawless-victory fest, which got old fast. Then, I somehow managed to kill the Old Demon King in my first try ever pretty much by accident by mashing buttons together, not knowing where my character was or what was exactly happening due to the size of the boss combined with the awful camera the game has. I've later found out from the wiki that the boss was also immune to my Vordt's Great Hammer frostbite and that he apparently has multiple phases. Yeah... It was pretty difficult for me to notice. All I knew was that the boss had a spiny butt and that I was taking damage...from..stuff. So after I emerged victorious from the very pits of hell feeling confused and a little violated, my face still being sore from all that brushing against the demon's "cheeks", I knew something must be done.

Another thing that I fu...hated was the lack of "mana" regeneration. I mean what's up with that? Is it still 1990? They didn't get the memo or something? ZeLdA sOuLs In ThE hOuSe!%$#  For real now. How many times did you actually use your weapon's skill during your playthrough not wanting to deplete your FP bar? I don't know about you, but wasting my precious estus flask to allot it into some ashen flasks nonsense is a big no-no. And to be honest, when I finally learned how to use the weapon arts, thanks to the delightful mouse and keyboard controls the game has, I was already halfway through the game. What kind of game needs an online guide for teaching players to use their controls?!
