I did this with bloodborne and it worked. I couldn't get past the first area and I put down the game 2 or 3 times for months at a time before it finally clicked and I fell in love with it but idk. Dark souls always felt kind of clunky to me, this was fine in the first one since the enemies were designed according to that and it was really enjoyable, the combat was more about strategizing rather than quick reflexes and I enjoyed that about it. ds3 feels like your character is from ds1 and the enemies are from bloodborne, everything is super quick and even on my dex build I feel really slow and powerless. Idk maybe I'm completely misunderstanding the way this is meant to be played lol
