Also, I haven't used any of the consumable soul pickups I've picked up except once early in the game where I consumed one for 200 souls so I had enough to level up. I have no idea how much they're all worth.
I have so many different sets of armor now that I haven't even tried them all. Isn't it true that most of them have one thing that they're better at protecting you from than the others, and the ones that protect you the most from melee attacks tend to be heavier?

Generally lighter armors have higher elemental or status resistances while heavier ones are better at physical, yeah. Some of the heavy armor like what Havel was wearing will have good resists as well, but it's very heavy.
But really armor doesn't matter that much, the heaviest stuff fully upgraded will mean you can take a couple extra hits from a boss and I do mean a couple. Typically your armor is the difference between getting two shotted and three shotted, it's not much juts a little bit of breathing room. So use what you think looks cool and doesn't hinder your movement too much.
Just FYI, if you're considering getting a PS4 for Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, get the PS4 Scholar version as well. Original DS2 on PS3 already had awful performance, I can only imagine the graphical changes in Scholar make it even worse. The PS4 version is 60FPS and comes close to the PC version in performance.
Well, yeah. Or, if it's still an option, get DS2 (the original) on Xbox, as the PS3 version is again reportedly noticeably worse.
I don't know how much you looked into it, but Scholar is basically an Ocarina of Time: Master Quest version of DS2, with existing assets flipped around, for better or worse. It's like a romhack for people who want something slightly new after playing the original, so the original makes for a slightly better first playthrough experience.
That's only if you're going to play on last-gen, though. If PS4 is an option, play Scholar anyway as it's by far the best experience you can get outside of the PC version.

The fucking kid at gamestop told me that DS2 Scholar of the First Sin was DS2 plus the DLC.
I am getting a PS4 within the next month or so. I don't even see DS2 available to play on PS4 at all except for Scholar of the First Sin. The regular DS2 isn't even available for PS4. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/search/f=%5Edark%2Bsouls%7Cbucket~games

Yeah, I'm saying that if PS4 is an option, ignore what I said about original DS2 being slightly better and play PS4 Scholar, because the performance difference is so freaking huge that it makes up for it. DS2 original is slightly better in a vacuum, but not if it means having to play on last-gen, especially PS3.
One thing I know - I'm not playing it on xbox. I absolutely hate everything about every xbox I've ever played. Worst controller ever made, and it has BATTERIES. You have to pay for online play. I really, really, hate it and can't wait to get the hell away from it.
I'll probably get DS2 for PS4, but no way in hell I would get it for xbox.
