No, it makes complete sense that the lore of the first game is so obscure in this game. Thousands of years have passed since the first game, Straid himself who was petrified for centuries comes from a kingdom where they never heard the name "Lordran". Dozens of times we are told that countless kingdoms rose and fell in Drangleic which is former Lordran. And Drangleic is still in a medieval age, even today in real life today we have no idea about a lot of deatils of our history. Now imagine how hard it would be to unveil the past there, specially since history, just as in real life, is determined by the victor. And the fact that in Dark Souls we arrive at the end of the age of the gods, meeting only two in person, one of them being a shadow of his former self. Taking that into account, it seems that in Drangleic gods have taken a symbolic meaning in religions where they are only worshipped, contrary to Lordran where you can even meet and fight them.
