Finished Dark Souls a couple of days ago and loved every minute of it. I liked it so much that it made me buy Demon's Souls for the ps3. Now I'm hopeful i'll have as much fun with that game!
It's kind of ironic to see this thread bumped back up; as I've only just received my big chunky "prepare to die" boxed edition. I'm wary of installing it now though, might wait until I have much more time to sink into it…as it certainly has acquired an aura for being immersive and addictive (to go with the challenge)
Indeed anyway, IIRC Halberds (just like any other weapon) could scale with Strength if you upgrade them; otheriwse, since you're a TK, pump Faith a lot and in a certain world you can find a very good Halberd that scales with Faith .
