again, just imo, but you could place that state of mind with Dark Souls 2 if you had played the 1 first. it was with a different director and team, so there's a lot of differences that made me feel sour about it.
dark souls 1 is worth playing not only for its roots (even though demons souls would be even more of a root. or kingsfield) but because it's a solid, excellent adventure. the story is hidden and woven through character dialogue and text and is completely missable if you're not trying to find it. ambiguity is part of the games allure - a mystery on what and why things have happened. heavy handed exposition wont be found in the series.
