So I've beaten the game now, and a majority of the game I was Darkmoon. Just curious which one were you guys with most the time and which one you enjoyed most?
Dark Souls
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Sep 22, 2011
A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.
Favorite covenant?
I heard Forest Hunter was pretty good but I went with Blade of the Darkmoon.
@Nadril: Did it actually change the ending?
For I am a Warrior of the Sun!
I like the golden shine and crazy pose you get, and the flinging of the lightning is pretty fun too. I haven't tried most of them yet though.

I'm a knight. Therefore, the Way of the White is my covenant.
You can always change your covenant you know.
@LordXavierBritish: I wanted to join the Sun warriors but I was to late into the game and my faith was really low.
Warrior of Sunlight. Sunbros holla back!
I'm just disappointed in the lightning honestly... 50 faith and the damn Great Lightning only hits for like 500ish >_>... Which is only about as hard as frigging fireball, yes not even fire orb >_>... It certainly looks hella cool though I'll give you that, Zeus mode engage!
Path of the Dragon. If I ever get around to leveling my cleric I'll try Warrior of Sunlight it seems like a lot of fun.
I just joined the Forrest Hunters. It's fun to be summoned for pvp. There really is zero benefit to it other than that. well, that and the merchant in blighttown sells cool shit.
Once I buy everything I want from him, I'll kill one of the forest hunters and break the covenant. From what I understand they're great for farming souls.
Blade of the Darkmoon. Being a bounty hunter is pretty badass. The only thing that sucks is that I cant seem to use Estus Flasks so any encounter is kind of nerve racking. Also people with Thunder Spears suck, thunder anything really every few hits do some unblock-able damage.

Forest Hunter is pretty awesome. I really wanted to join the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant but after I did I forgot not to pass the fog door... now I'll wait for a point when it's not that hard to grind 100000 souls and request absolution.
How well does the forest hunters work? Cuz I wear my Darkmoon ring for the princess to summon me and I've never once been called apon.
The only time it works is if I use the blue orb.
all the covenants are terrible. half of them are buggy as fuck. the other half is exploitable. i'll stick with way of white.
i was with chaos covenant for a few days, got a smexy chaos fireball spell from them (pyromancy) also i just grew a worm ontop of my head and its nasty! i want it removed, i now joined the princess guard, i was "tempted" to join :D
Darkwraith, easily. Infinite invasions with no limitations other than your soul range. Makes finding suitable hosts super easy not having to worry about if they have guilt or not, if they have dragon scales, if they are in a certain part of the world, etc.
Currently on my third playthrough, started with a new character, and I'm going to finish the game up to the final battle with my soul level securely locked at 15. I'm currently wading through Anor Londo. After becoming a Darkwraith, I will pray on all of the peons in the earliest areas of the game. There is nothing more terrifying as a newcomer than witnessing someone come in with armor and weapons the likes of which you've never seen, and completely wiping the fucking floor with you.
LOL
Same thing happened to me not long after I joined it. Worked out for the best, though, as they made for good grinding. ^_^Forrest Hunters is now my least favorite. One of the hunters decided to randomly end it all while I was in the forest. I got the blame (and 2000 souls) and now I'm out of the covenant. Glitchy as shit.
I'm going to take pleasure in farming them now.
@TekZero: Everytime you get summoned to a players game and defeat a boss as a phantom the faith requirment drops by 5.
So you might want to get on that.
