There is a co-op element in the multiplayer feature of both Dark Souls I and II. You have some interesting ideas, but the idea of "bonding with a player" takes away from the theme of Dark Souls, imo. Multiplayer encounters in the Souls franchise are designed to be random, rather than playing the game with your friends the whole time, that's what makes the series different from most online games.
