When you want to try a new build or get tired of your current one?? do you respec or start a new character?I've played Souls games since Demon's and I've only respec'd once (Elden Ring to beat Malenia). I don't find respec to be fun so if I want to try a new build I just start a new character, hence me reaching the character limit in every Souls and Souls-like game.

Only if I change weapons and it has different scaling. I went STR, to STR/FTH, back to STR on my first Elden Ring character

unless i'm build crafting, which i hardly do, no. i just make another character. i like having a character that does this, and a character that does that.

Ain't got the time nor patience for starting new characters just to try every possible build/weapon/spell etc, especially for a game as huge as Elden Ring.

I would only respec if I just need to reallocate my stats a bit. If I take a full left turn to overhaul my build, it is 9/10 times going to be a new character.

i've respecced a few times in the games that allow it when i find a new weapon type that i really like the moveset of but has different stat scaling.

i usually start as a magic user though.

For some reason I prefer to make a new character rather than respec.

I did in elden ring, but it was only to move around some stats between vigor, endurance, spirit, and intelligence. I still used my exact same dexterity+bleed focused weapons throughout the entire game. (My one and only elden ring character was the samurai class and I stuck with it).

In dark souls 3 and bloodborne I never did. I ended up just making a second bloodborne character.

For the most part no, I had to once though

On my second playthrough of Elden Ring, I went full sorcerer (contrast to STR/FAI which I always do on first playthroughs) and I needed to respec to beat Malenia lmao

I could not for the life of me beat her with a full INT build

100%ed Dark Souls 1-3 and since they required multiple NG+es, ended up doing few respecs for fun in DS2 and 3.

Also I just want to add if you guys haven't played the new Lords of the Fallen game yet, give it a shot

It had some issues at launch but they've mostly been ironed out and the game is great IMO, the most "Souls" souls-like out there if that makes sense and there's a lot of content

Sometimes...

If the person/thing that lets you respec is easily reachable and//or not hidden, and the items (if any) needed to respec are plentiful enough (like more than 5 you can get before the "endgame") then i might do it.

The main reason I make new characters in Souls games is to make them look different. A lot of time that involves using different gear, which requires different builds. But for me it's all Violent Doll House Simulator.

I did in DS3 to beat Midir. Once or twice in ER just to tweak my stats a bits so I could use a weapon/spell now instead of waiting until 4 levels or so. When going for the plat in DS2, I respecced and used the gender change coffin when I went to NG+ and NG++.

No need to for me, I always overlevel and I tend to spread my stats mostly evenly, but buff things like stamina, HP, and strength. I don't neglect any stats though, so if I want to try dex, magic, or anything else I just boost the needed stats. I don't respec any of it.
