For the base game I was annoyed that every fucking weapon I found along the way was either a dex weapon or intelligence scaling magic weapon, when I'd gone strength/faith. Every dungeon I'd come out with either new spells, a new casting staff, or an intelligence weapon

By the time the game really starts giving you good faith scaling stuff and faith spells, the game's reached the point where most enemies and bosses are resistant to faith

At some point I'll probably try again and just not do the strength route again
