The Abyss is a concentration of Dark. Thus, exposure to the Abyss and to Dark would yield similar (if not identical) results.

Your "Dark =/= Abyss" statement (which is still correct, btw) made it appear that the AWC was wrong, when he, in fact, made a proper statement. It's really in the choice of words in your comments, though.

Many players also believe that the Age of Dark would simply be that the Abyss would become free to spread with no major obstacles. This would mean that those exposed would become Bloatheads, or perhaps have some other kind of mutation.

***MAJOR DARK SOULS 2 STORY SPOILER ALERT***

Either way there is no real reason to disscuss this matter as Dark Souls 2 proves that either choice wouldn't matter, as it's all just a cycle that starts over and over again.
