I mean yeah, I guess they're optional if you're already an expert in the game's mechanics. Level 1 DS runs are pretty niche, and someone who is clearly new to the genre entirely isn't going to start playing like that. For most people, "builds" are what Dark Souls games are all about.

but that is what OP was asking for. The game works fine without skill points. I just answered the question man.

"Works fine" yeah ok. Give a newbie a copy of DS1 and tell them they're not allowed to level up. See how long they play.

Like we get it, you're good at the hard video game. This person wasn't asking to be tortured, and I don't think "play Dark Souls (for the first time) and just ignore the leveling system," is a good suggestion for anybody, let alone someone who seems wholly unfamiliar with the genre.

Holy fuck dude LET IT GO. This has nothing to do with "newbies". Did you even read the fucking OP? When I answered a simple question I didn't expect to be harassed by a butthurt baby that just couldn't git gud. I don't think you should be on the Internet. It's clear you can't handle it.
