Curious what everyone is running.

- DLAA

- Quality

- Balanced

- Performance

I've been sticking with Quality since it seems like the sweet spot for image quality and FPS. But now I'm starting to wonder if I'm just placebo'ing myself into thinking it looks much better than Balanced, or if there's actually a noticeable difference at 4K.

Performance is the only one that really stands out to me. I feel like I notice more pop-ins occurring more.

What do you all usually run, and why?

I've seen plenty of rankings for the FromSoftware games already, so I'm looking for Soulslikes this time.

How would you rank the Soulslike plats/100% achievements from easiest to hardest of the games you've personally completed.

I'm trying to build up my backlog and want to know which games have a fun road to 100% and which ones are a brutal grind.

I'm down to my last two bosses on my first playthrough (Umbral ending) and I'm trying to plan out the easiest path to 100% on Steam. This will hopefully be my first game I fully 100%.

I'm debating if I should spend some time before finishing this run farming levels, grabbing any fixed loot I missed, and knocking out whatever achievements I can, or if I'm better off just finishing the ending and worrying about that later.

Right now I'm thinking:

1st playthrough: Umbral

2nd playthrough (NG0): Radiant with every modifier except Ironman

3rd playthrough (NG0): Inferno with Ironman

I'd like to keep it to 3 playthroughs if possible, but if doing a 4th makes things a lot easier or saves me a headache, I'm open to it.

For those of you that have 100%'d the game, what would you do? Anything you wish you knew before finishing your first playthrough? Any guides or strategies you'd recommend?

Appreciate any advice.
