What is the beginner class Dark Souls?

We would recommend the Hunter as a starting class due to its excellent stats and the fact you start with a bow. The Warrior is also a solid choice though, and brings with it a better melee weapon and armour, though will have to settle for a mid-roll rather than a fast roll when dodging.

Is Dark Souls 1 beginner friendly?

DS1 brutal for new players, mostly because of the sloppy animations and movement. DS2 fixes that and even lets the player make some mistakes before obliterating him. DS3 has a better (and maybe shorter) learning and difficulty curve. So 3>2>1 for me.
