Haha! Not sure I met him! This game reminds me of the original Prince of Persia a bit. You know before you get the sword? And you run the wrong way into the guard? That bit. But for the entire game.
I didn't play that, but it sounds about right. I got absolutely battered in the graveyard before realising there was a ramp right by the bonfire to take you up to the right zone. And having just started again as a Pyromancer (man they're fun), the guy you talk to actually gives you a whole load of information if you nag him. Well, until he gets fed up and tells you to piss off, anyway.
I'm back to where I was last night now, but I'm too full of cold to carry on. But now I've not lost any souls, and have managed to pick up a healing spell, a bow, and a whole load of arrows, so I'm in much better shape this time around. The combat is clicking, too, now I'm lighter than the Knight I originally picked; now I can circle strafe and roll to my heart's content, then beat the living shit out of people from behind with my giant mace. Awesome.
