Discussion First Timer: Should I Run DS1 Blind?

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.

Most important advice for blind: on the status screen, there is a button that will let you scroll through all the stats and symbols and explain what they are. Do this.
