That's actually a pretty interesting idea.

It fits well with the whole "Herald being only semi-successful" idea, since the destruction of the Lordvessel could have been a setback in the idea of undoing the curse.

Though, it might be good to consider that the Herald's success wasn't just in guiding the Cursed to gather the Old Ones' Great Souls. Remember, the game heavily implies that she's the last Firekeeper, at least the last one doing her job (as the oldies in Things Betwixt seem to be on retirement). So that could mean that part of the "success" mentioned by the dude you quoted was that she managed to keep all the Bonfires alive, something which would have halted Nashandra's plans nonetheless.

God-damn though, what forum is that from? It's one of the most in-depth analysis I've ever seen about a Souls game, without being completely air-headed.
