I get where you're coming from, but the game is designed around having only 5 or 10 estus for most of the areas, with Humanity as a last resort heal. It would've removed a lot of the difficulty. Especially in areas like Blighttown or Lost Izalith.

It is odd though, as both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls II lets you buy Moon Grass and Lifegems, respectively, which are both common healing items.
