Dark Souls was certainly open to that with the various embers and magic types. A faith build can see you take an early trip down the Catacombs and Tomb of the Giants etc. A different build is always about planning an optimum route. That's why I've played it about a dozen times.Time_on_my_hands wrote:Demons Souls is the only RPG that properly encouraged me to play through with 3 different builds.The level design is ace - your build, weapons and upgrade path basically means a different path through the levels. That's something that the other Souls games lacked.

We have been able to play several hours though and the initial impressions are extremely favourable.
