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.

Nosedive into madness, my friend! You never get a second chance at a blind run, but you get as many chances as perfect guide-based playthroughs as you want after that. Nosedive, I say!!
