Dark Souls on PC

Has anyone played this and had problems getting the game to load initially? I'm trying to install a pirated copy to see if I will even like this kind of game before I buy it but after installing it and clicking on the game to load it nothing comes up.

In my task manager there is a DATA.exe for darksouls and DARKSOULS.exe that are running after I click the launcher but nothing to do with the game pops up even after waiting a long time.

Google says similar problems have had to do with game for windows not being updated and vertical sync not being turned off but the fixes for both of those hasn't worked for me.

Nevermind I have just proven the universal law that you figure things out on your own by accident after you ask for help.

Sooooo, what is the most fun class to play for a newbie.

Honestly, your starting class won't matter much AT ALL since all "classes" can get everything.
What matters most is your end goal (which you don't know yet) so Wanderer, Warrior, Knight and Pyromancer are pretty safe bets.

Knight or Warrior if you don't really care much about magic and Pyromancer if you're probably gonna do some magic stuff and Wanderer if you're pretty sure you're going to do a DEX build.
Now, since you don't know jack shit about the game... none of that really should mean much of anything to you.

Basically... start as whatever, experiment and die a lot.

I ended up choosing pyromancer after I realized he started at level 1 which gave me more room to choose my own stats. I read that you can sell equipment for souls but it's not a lot of souls. Is it even worth picking up equipment when I know I won't ever use it just so I can sell it later?

It isn't really "worth it" per se but it doesn't hurt at all.
