I have no issue with daggers (although at times I find them mildly annoying).

I do have issue with a more involved story. If I wanted a hand-held, shove-in-your-face story, I'd play any other game in the industry right now, such as Call of Duty, Skyrim, Bioshock, Hitman, or whatever the mainstream community is into these days. Taking away the minimalist storytelling would be taking away one of the things that makes Dark Souls unique. It's FUN for me to look deeper into the story. It's FUN for me to choose whether or not I want any story at all.
