Bummer I started out as a thief...... and I die ALOT. Just left the asylum, that was easy then got mobbed by loads of skeletons down some stairs near starting bonfire. Eventually went other way and up. Played for a hour or so.. didn't see any bonfires died with about 2500 souls and respawned back at starting bonfire. Never made it back to my blood stain and rage quit. Just started again. My first day playing and its frustrating. Wondering if I should start again as pyromacy or forge on as thief. I'm an elder scrolls thief sneak addict but can't seem too see the point of thief in this game. (  Level 10, dexterity 17, endurance 12 - there the only things I've levelled up so far I was told to concentrate on those two as a thief...not sure if right but hey.. I  have 5 humanities I had no idea how or why to use them.. I have a talisman no idea what it is or does...and homeward bone no idea about that either....weapon stats no idea what these mean is first stat damage then ice, for, lightning,faith, weight? And is high damage better than high faith if i have this right? I have two shields one has 6 higher in damage but 40 less in faith. Final request as a thief concentrating on dexterity  is a bandits knife 56, 0, 0, 0, 166, 1.0 better than weilding a mace two handed stats 83,0,0,0,180,4.0?

I apologise for my ignorance and appreciate any forbearance and help. Please and thank you
