    Elden Ring was my starting point too, and Varre taught me an important lesson for all Souls games: Don't hit NPCs unless you know what you're doing.
    Also, since you picked Confessor, I highly recommend purchasing Catch Flame from Brother Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold. It's a great close range spell.

    This is honestly an emotionally charged video, my ER journey started similarly to yours, and despite me being a DS2 player since 2014, it still managed to kick my ass effortlessly.. but that's what made it special, and why Margit is to this day my favourite boss - he takes you to school, pushes you to your limits and makes you use everything at your disposal while still offering a fair fight without relying on gimmick attacks and artificial difficulty. Actually wish the game sort of had a way of retrying his boss battle considering Margit is a projection, such a good practice
    Also well done, the game threw an entire wall at you and you didn't give up until you broke it down - exploring, trying out new things and engaging with less used mechanics will be the way to go forward.
    As for the controls.. phew might be late for me to say this considering muscle memory, but if you hold down E (based on default controls) and pressing LMB or RMB should make you wield your weapon in a two handed stance. Pressing shift and mouse scroll up/down should rotate your weapon selection. Holding down E activates your pouch (it takes over your weapon/spell area) and using the wheel scroll uses the top/bottom choices, that you can configure in the right side of the Esc screen. Slightly more complicated is to activate the left and right selection in the puch, but that can be done with holding down E, pressing shift and then using the wheel scroll.. took me several hours to get used to, but actually had to turn the game on to check specifically because its muscle memory at this point lmao, but it completely foregoes the directional keys or having to rely on specific binds that takes your hand off of the movement buttons to keep you in the fight

      I think it might still be correct to say it locks you out of a farming spot. By the time you're able to get there by progressing naturally, farming for runes isn't likely to be relevant unless you've been losing hundreds of thousands of runes to deaths, or making irrelevant weapons, or frutlessly buying out the inventory of every shop or something.

    Some keybinds that helped me with keyboard and mouse elden ring, was rebinding Switch left hand weapon to the 1 key and switching the right hand weapon to the 2 key. I binded it this way because I usually swap weapons like this in apex by pressing 1 or 2 instead of scroll wheel since I binded my mouse wheel for movement like tap strafing or zipline superjumping.
    For Elden ring, you could also rebind scroll wheel upwards for cycling through spells and scroll wheel downward for cycling through items. If you have Side mouse buttons though you can cycle through spells with mouse 5 and cycle items with mouse 4 instead (This is because if you hold down the button that cycles through your spells or items, it resets and goes back to the first object in that list.). As for jumping, I binded it to shift, and dodge/dash/backstep/run to space bar.
    Hopefully some of these keybind suggestions you can use and personalize to your own liking, and as someone who's played lots of souls games I hope you enjoy Elden Ring!

    my keybinds in this game are shift to dodge and sprint, space is jump (as it should be from the start) E to interact (hold E for the satchel items) and left click is light attack, right click is block, and then my two mouse buttons are heavy attack and ash of war. as for the item problem since I go with binds that I just make up in my brain I use Z, X, C, V for the 4 item slots so C and V I can hit with my thumb and X with my pointer. Z it the weird one but I made it spells cause i dont use magic much other than buffs so i never need to scroll it mid fight

It's confidence which most games death has little penalty but with these games you feel every death 100x more than most games especially in areas with long runbacks. Death just effects your mentality so much more than most... Like when he got boss down to sliver of health he wasn't really angry but his confidence soared because he knew that meant he could win what seemed impossible

    Killing NPCs can always lock you out of content and even gameplay areas or weapons. in Várres case it locks you out of, as you already know, a pretty good Farm, but also early access for the DLC. And if you would have continued to listen to his dialogue, he would actually after insulting you help you and guide you.

    Why did Max recommend him to go to Marget instead of exploring Limgrave and the weeping Peninsula first? It's like, what sounds like a more interesting and worth file experience of your five hours? Exploring lymgrave and the whipping peninsula for like four hours or 4 and a half hours and defeating Marget in like half an hour? Or just fighting one Enemy vor 5 hours, just doing the same thing over and over again for five hours.
    Which sounds more interesting and more worthwhile of your time? Apparently for many the latter one.😅

    There is always nice to see new players getting into souls games!
    I have some feedback:
    - Don't listen to people who tell you to play on controller. I never touched a controller outside of fighting games, and personally beat every PC FromSoftware game multiple times using MnK without any issue. The best controls are what's most suitable for you.
    - If you kill Varre you're not locked out of the Mohgwyn Palace. He can give you a shortcut there for early game (if you do his questline) and an easy farm spot that you honestly don't need, I have many newbie friends who completed Elden Ring and never felt the need to farm runes. You can get to that location in the endgame and access the DLC.
    - Just have fun and play at your own pace, use any tool that can make it a pleasant experience, you may see a lot of salty souls fans, but don't bother to argue with them.

    Its not even problem with your keyboard. It problem with ancient design created for consoles that never was changed or fixed to acomodate pc. It is something like:
    Dev: Yo, we need to port this game to PC.
    Miyazaki: So whats the problem?
    Dev: I have no idea how to translate pads to keyboards.
    Miyazaki: What is this keyboard?
    Dev: What?
    Miyazaki: What?
    I have full keyboad and its very simple. You just change jump to space. And rest is easy. You have left hand on WSAD. You have right hand on mouse. And you use arrow keys with your penis. I died more times bc of UI than bc of enemy attacks. Its even worse(and i'm guesing it works like that on pads too). If i have two things in both hands and i wanna take one those in both hands then i have to press and hold E and if i wanna right hand thing i have to click left mouse button. If i wanna left thing i need to click right mouse button.
    Also... its game that put heavy accent on horse. But you dont have a horse button. You summon him from consumables menu. The same that have life and mana potions. Every time when i wanna summon him i drink flask. Also when he dies you uses HP potion to revive him... but it not summoning a horse... its summoning pop out screen with question did you wanna do this. Usualy in MIDDLE OF FIGHT.
    The further you get the more you will see stuff that are just confusing and pointless. For example any mage class. You have sorcereries and incantations. So one is magick from stick, second is magick from dumpling. Or somenthing small in your hand. If you using normal weapon in main hand then you probably get a stick or a "seal"(?) in left. But if you wanna use both types of magic bc stick magic is basicaly just bonking enemies with rock. And incantations have some fun utilities, then you have to had in one hand both stick and seal. And switching between them and on magic slots swtiching this magic type.
    And it obviously goes even further bc bad design control scheme is not only thing that exist more to confuse than anything. All menus are bad. But most important Status screen. You wanna check what STATUS is on your hero? What buffs or debuffs? You know... that thing that is obvious in page called STATUS? Well... check on wiki bc there is no info on game about that.
