Let me start by saying, I'm brand spanking new to Dark Souls. I've heard about how it's a difficult, unforgiving game. Even deceptive at times.
I have a controller like it recommends (On PC).
I just got out of the starting area. I rested at the bonfire I got dropped off at. And I talked to a guy who told me I need to ring 2 bells and something happens... (No Spoilers Please).
My idiotic self decided it would be a good idea to murder the guy because he talked very creepily.
Turns out, he has a shit-ton of health and hits like a truck. When he kills me, I respawn at the bonfire but he's standing there waiting to fight and attacks once my character stands up. I've tried running away but he chases me... I've even tried quitting and loading but he still wants to kill me.
Basically, did I screw up and unless I can kill him, I'm going to need to make a new character???
UPDATE: He has been successfully lured off a cliff! Thanks for the help everyone!
