Okay, so much more fun as a Samurai!

Samurai is best

My samurai’s unsheathe ability is CARRYING me 

I heard there’s a better version of the Uchigatana somewhere in the game so I’m keeping my eyes open for it / any questline hinting at it.

I do also have the Bloodhound’s Fang now but don’t have the necessary strength level yet to use it. Not even sure if it’s better than the Uchi (I’ve mainly gone for a dexterity build).

You're going pretty much down the route I took. First a DEX build, but I later switched to bleed focus, ie Rivers of Blood build. It makes the end game bit of ajoke to be honest, I chopped Malenia (late game boss) like she was made from wet paper. But pure DEX is fine as well.

Well, I’m going down a different route since I’ve been happy to use my horse right from the get-go 

Spent about an hour reading back through this thread and your journey from “this game is bollocks” to “this game is the dog’s bollocks” was EPIC

I’m about 15 hours in now and have done nothing whatsoever relating to the main story yet.

Everything in this god forsaken world scares the shit out of me so I’ve just been collecting buffs all around the map and leveling up by farming runes at Lenne’s Rise (big metal ball).

I’m at level 75 now and have the Nagakiba at +15 with the double slash AOW and the Blooodflame incantation for rapid bleed buildup.

It might be time to finally go visit Margit

Absolutely hated the dog-horse all through my playthrough.
Just managed to scrable enough patience to stick with it because all-walk playthrough was pretty much impossible.

I was at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday for the Elden Ring Symphony, which was pretty epic and made me want to play the game all over again.

Damn dude you are gonna completely stomp the whole game if you are level 75 before visiting Margit, I think most people do that around lvl 20-25!

I’m sure there are much much tougher challenges ahead - but yes, I finally went up to Margit and easily brushed him aside.

What can I say - I like to over-prepare

Finished the gigantic Stormveil Castle last night and beat Godrick to get my first Great Rune

Where do I go next? The Academy (already unlocked the seal at the entrance) or more exploration in Caelid? i.e. Radahn or Rennala first?

I’m level 83 now and my Bloodhound Fang (somber weapon) is at +6
