You really capture the essence of the Dark Souls experience, great post. Also, I think you're you bring up a good point about how all the different design elements work together to keep you wanting to push forward and see what's out there. That's what my first playthrough was like, I didn't know anything about the game and went through it so that every enemy and location was a surprise. It was the best gaming experience I've had so far.
