Still, whether you're a Dark Souls newbie or veteran of many playthroughs, finding the balance between function and form when it comes to armor takes experience. Having the best armor stats in the game but ending up looking like an Avante-Garde runway model is a pathetic display. In fact, there's so many of them, it can get rather confusing. They can be acquired from bosses and other enemies/characters. All this is made possible with Dark Souls' robust selection and variety of armor sets. You are allowed the freedom to make your nameless waste of skin undead character into a flashy revenant. One such system that adds to the appeal of Dark Souls, apart from the punishing difficulty, is the roleplaying game (RPG) mechanics. Dark Souls is held in such high regard because it seamlessly combines together separate game systems and mechanics that other games would have failed to harmonically blend. Dark Soulsis considered by many in the gaming community to be a masterpiece not because it is a difficult game, that would be an understatement.
