On Dark Souls, on the other hand, choices are limited. Sooner or later, you understand that the Black Knight set is the only option.

I beat both games, Demon's and Dark Souls, with exactly the same weapon in both: the Uchitagana. The Black Knight set was waaay too heavy for my character, and I think that dexterity > poise.

If you had a weapon with "S" factor in Dexterity (like "Hiltless" in Demon's), you could build with Dexterity and have equal measures of Damage as a Black Knight Great Axe with Strength Build. Mind you, it is not that the game cannot be finished (or even played) with another weapon or style. It's a frail detail that many people did not notice. It is just that Demon's did not have a "mega-weapon". Damage varied even because of tendency. In Dark, for a long time, all you could see was people dragging the axe behind them.

Hiltless was crap. It hurt you whenever you swinged the damned weapon :P

My favourite strategy was bleeding-out enemies. Something you can achieve with Uchitagana pretty easily. I tend to win some PvP battles thanks to bleeding-out the rival.

Of course! Everyplay has his/hers prefered strategy and each and every one of them work. That's part of Souls game magic. "Presenting" your theory of the game, your interpretation of the rules, controls and attack/defence mechanisms and gradually rise to the top. A low human husk rising to be "god" or whatever, through seer work, effort, failure and repetition. In reality: a human player proven to be better than another human player, through work and patience. That's the common "story" in both games. Pretty Japanese I think (considering their educational system and high competition on job field). Also a major difference from western RPGs, where the protagonist is a Messiah, a Chosen One, a Demigod etc, always in slumber.
