All of the original Dark Souls was like that, up to the first boss, which I believe I never defeated before asking myself the specific question for the very first time.

Thrown in with nothing, no clue how anything works or what I’m supposed to do, dying constantly from bullshit. I’m up for a challenge, not another full-time job requiring notes, research, and worst of all grinding. I don’t even have that much bullshit in my real job, why would I spend my free time having less fun?
