Pretty boring so much black <| sep |> Advancing a new game means going through the game effectively twice , since most people who respec do it for PvP , and most people who PvP will stop their current New Game cycle the moment the build is complete . Furthermore , the limited respecs in Dark Souls III comes with it a much higher opportunity cost for doing so since it ' s very likely that one will have to respec twice in order to get the weapons in order for the new build before becoming the new build . Overall , this regression from Dark Souls II only makes it less appealing to keep using the same character . I ' m not going to respec in DS 3 just to use a particular weapon or build , which is a major flaw with the system , since it discourages build diversity , since it will take a player three hours to get another 5 respecs .
