Okay. Here's the deal:

You're in your current physique. Your world is completely changed to the world of Dark Souls, and you are mysteriously transported to Lordran (the primary location in Dark Souls). There, you find all of the enemies one would encounter in Dark Souls. Should you find new equipment, you are completely allowed to use it. There's no magic spells here; the only magic is in enchanted weapons, armor, items, etc. But no direct abilities.

If you die, you will be resurrected at the nearest Bonfire. You are essentially immortal; no permanent deaths. But, you heal at a normal rate (unless killed, in which case you're fully restored) unless you use an Estus Flask. When you die, you feel that death, and you feel pain like you would in the real world. The real difference is that you'll return from the dead right after. Fun, eh?

You're able to "level up" by learning and training.

In this scenario, there is no starting class - just you. And there is no starting gift. But, in the Undead Asylum, you find some gear. This is your choice of gear: (Choose ONE from each category)

Armor:

  • Heavy armor
  • Medium armor
  • Light armor
  • Tunic
  • Nothing, just a bikini (yes, this is an option in Dark Souls. See: Deprived class).

Weapons:

  • Longsword
  • Mace
  • Battleaxe
  • Rapier
  • Katana
  • Scimitar
  • A club

Secondary weapon:

  • Parrying daggar
  • Small shield
  • Medium shield
  • Large shield

What would you end up doing?

PS: I'll take suggestions.

PPS: Yes, I've been playing a lot of Dark Souls recently... -_-

Medium armor

Katana (normally use great sword)

Medium shield

I would spend the majority of my time leveling up because the first boss would be a b!tch with a real world physique and the fact I have no combat experience with a sword. I will feel deaths embrace a lot.

Do we have to sleep, eat and etc?

No. You are allowed to, if you want as a respite to the horrors of Dark Souls, but it's not required. Exhaustion from physical activity would be regained as it would in the game: not doing anything strenuous for a short amount of time until you recover.

Light armor, katana, small shield.

I would go to the first spot I come across enemies that respawn frequently and level up until oh, let say level 1000 (I've got the time right?) then just stomp my way through the rest of life.

The dragons in Dark Souls were supposed to be immortal, too. The Lord Souls possessed by Gwyn, Nito, and Izalith made them more powerful, and gave them the power to kill the dragons. Gwyn's lightning could tear apart their scales and kill the immortal dragons.

Might work for Alduin.

Assuming I don't go insane from experiencing a violent death what would likely be thousands of times, I would avoid battle at all costs and engage enemies only when absolutely necessary.

I'm not very heavily built so I'd go for the stealth approach:

>Light armor

>Katana

> Dagger.

Like I said I'd probably have a breakdown before I can seriously contend with Lordan's residents.

Medium armor, rapier, medium shield.

I'd do horribly. The first few enemies would totally destroy me, it would take forever to level up, and eventually I'd just give up.
