Hi everyone. First off, I'm a complete beginner to these games. I followed Demon Souls with a lot of interest but always held off on jumping in; I would have probably done the same for Dark Souls had the Quick Look not completely sold me. I'm also going sorcerer for my first attempt at this, with the knowledge that that's probably a terrible idea. I realize that the time I've spent in the game is so small that it shouldn't even count, but so far I'm really enjoying it, that is when I'm not agonizing about the permanent loss of the measly handful of humanities I've been able to gather.
I was in the Undead Burg tower right before the Taurus Demon, and when I rolled through a bunch of barrels out came what I can only assume what was Crystal Gecko, not that I've ever seen one. I was pretty taken aback at seeing one so early in the game. There wasn't much doubt it had noticed me, as I had rolled right over it. I was expecting it to run away, but instead it started to waddle off pretty slowly. I targeted it and started to follow behind. It went down the stairs, and for a brief moment it moved out of my line of sight as it went to a lower level. Of course, once I walked those few steps to where I should have seen it, it was gone. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
So, I have some questions about those geckos. First, is their appearance random? I'm guessing that it is, but I won't complain if it's there in a future playthrough. Secondly, is their rarity and usefulness the exact same as it was in Demon Souls?
Anyway, I'm not completely brokenhearted, as this sort of experience was pretty much what I was expecting. Earlier I had found both a shard and a chunk of Titanite, so I was actually foolish enough to get my spirits up.
