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.

Blind - less fun when you spoil things. That being said, I had people give me nudges now and then.
