What stats to upgrade first Dark Souls?

I would say get your strength at least to 16 and dex to whatever level you feel it's best (12 if you want to use a Bow, or none at all) first so that you can wield the more important weapons that you get early, like Drake Sword, Claymore, and Halberd.

What stats should I level up first in Dark Souls?

Best is to either go strength or Dex, even for a first playthrough. The game has more than enough replay value to do a run with either. If you go with a dex build, leveling up strength to 14 or 16 will allow you to use most dex weapons. The uchigatana can be gotten very early in the game and is a great weapon to use.

Does physique matter in Dark Souls?

Aesthetics-wise, yes. For instance, Very Large Physique + Smough's Armor = Arms not visible. Catarina is like this too, your arms fuse with your body lol, and weapons phase through your armor. I always go with Slim body type, least amount of graphical glitches.

Is Pyromancer a good class in Dark Souls?

Pyromancer. Low level, high stats, lets you create your own class bit by bit. I'd go with Pyromancer, although everyone can learn pyromancy later on. Pyromancies are really good against most bosses (except a few) and a Pyromancer starts off at level 1 so you have more stat points to spend.

If anything, DSIII is much harder, at least in the back half.
