Class Guide
One of the great things about Dark Souls II and the entire Souls series is the way in which class choice doesn't affect the entire experience. It obviously shapes the opening hours of the game, but players will eventually find equipment for all classes and can change on the fly. Nevertheless, class choice still proves important for those who want to get off to a strong start or experiment.
