I’ve played just over an hour at the moment, and im stuck with a weapon i do not enjoy using, its the opposite of what i enjoy in fact. Idk if this would be good for everyone, but for some like me who has only a few things i like to play, i think it could be nice if before creating a character you can choose a preset of items and weapons. I like using dex and int weapons and i dont wanna upgrade str to use the only weapon i have out of necessity 
Perhaps it could be like a a short cutscene where the mc (you) find a body on the beach and loot them to find a weapon and some food or ingredients.
Ofc i might be wrong but thats smt i thought of would be nice. Its a small thing but for the early game is big.
dont know where exactly youre at, given you can spend HOURS exploring the starting area, so im blurring this reply.
pre-sacrament fillmore kind of already serves this purpose right after you save him.
he sells a wide variety of weapons, so you can get the weapon playstyle you need within minutes of starting.
bows, daggers, clubs, greatswords, you name it. it works well in my opinion.
huh, for me i barely have enough for a weapon after 2ish hours of playing, and since in a lot of cases (i think) the loot is randomized, i thought presets could be a good idea for the unlucky ones like myself xD
i got 4 weapons in total (in the area before the 1st boss) 3 of them being the same wooden sword
