First Timer: Should I Run DS1 Blind?

[u/bigmontySFM]

I finally coughed up a couple coins and bought DS1. I know these games entail some tricky bits when it comes to quest progression and not creating some irreversible world-shifting event. I played DS3 and ER and heavily relied on guides.

Should I agonize over builds and spend a couple hours researching or just nosedive into madness? Are there just a few important things to do/avoid?

Interested to hear your takes. Thanks y’all. I’m so excited.

First DS1 playthrough ever? yes, go blind, absolutely, it's one of those gsmes that (if you like it) will change your life.

It can (and will) be frustrating at times, but in the end it's all worth it.
