I already own the original, but back when I got it I was unable to play due to the poor control schemes since I am disabled. Now I own an Xbox Adaptive Controller that I used to play through Elden Ring pretty well. I’d love to go back and play some of the earlier games.

I already own the original. Is it in any better state to play? I remember needing to add a fan patch to fix a lot of the issues. Or should I just get the Remaster and call it a day? Is there a recommended play order? I do see people recommending 3 over the first two if you’re coming off Elden Ring.

Appreciate your opinions.

You all are awesome, thanks so much for your recommendations. Decided to give Prepare to Die another shot with DSFix, DS Config Utility and Widescreen Fixer. Looks awesome!!

If anyone has issues with the HUD at 5120x1440.
In Widescreen Fixer:
Uncorrected Resolution: 2560x1440
Bezel-Corrected Resolution: 5120x1440

    The Taurus Demon fight is a good one – keep it up and you’ll take care of him no problem. I look forward to hearing what you think of the Capra Demon & Beltower Gargoyle fights!

    I’ll avoid spoiling anything, so here’s some more generalized advice: don’t forget to explore for hidden advantages just because the map might seem less open than Elden Ring. Dark Souls 1 has a very special map design: If you can see it, you can almost always go there. In fact… even if you can’t see it you may still be able to go there. Once you leave the Undead Burg, Illusory walls abound hiding secrets within secrets (sad cryptic laughter)
