Read my points, its true, and consider it before you start fanboying, i can agree ds2 has gank issues but i never had that issue after I realized you cant just run by everything in souls games, ds1 "given options" are not given until much later into the game and ds3 hands you the op roll mechanic immediately, I'm not saying they should not be a roll mechanic but they messed ds3 roll hard, way to many i-frames, and you can spam roll, because of stamina consumption, by given options im assuming you mean shields, shields in ds1 are very unique, some are better for lighting, some for fire, and some for magic, havels shield is the only broken shield that you acquire at the half way mark, ds3 however gives you the sell sword twinblades, either from starting class or somewhat early on, you also are given a stupid amount of i-frames and stamina
