See, I can't do away with the mod.

I played long time without the mod and kept losing the souls.

For me, if I loose souls at point A, there is no guarantee that in next run I would even reach that place to retrieve them.

So, yeah, can't lose that. Apart from 'that' mod, its all hard work.
I too faced the same issue. Funk it! I still face the same issue :-} .See one thing I learnt was soul farming , whenever I needed some souls and needed 2 upgrade I revisited a old area 2 ensure I wasn't killed and I got all the souls I wanted.
I know this strategy is looked down by many elitist but that's what works for me and it may be even a intended game mechanic for all I know.............

Would DS multiplay be still active after 1 year? I really wanna jump online tho I dunno it would be worth it @ this time.............
You can also try to PvP in the arena after you beat Artorias in the DLC. Multiplayer is still active because Dark Souls was remastered so it prolonged it's life a bit.

Mistakenly killed " Griggs of Vinheim" after rescuing him in Lower Undead Burg.

What impact on game?

(was breaking the barrels and the tip scratched him. Started attacking me, had to kill)

If you had instead run away, you could have tried getting (buying) absolution from Oswald of Carim. After that any hostile NPCs become non-hostile again.

Also, remember that instead of attacking barrels, you can roll into them to break them.

As for the impact on the game (I have never killed him myself) I think he won't go to Firelink shrine and thus you can't buy his spells. You will only be missing out if you are a spell caster, otherwise no impact. Later on, you'll meet Big Hat Logan who is Grigg's master and he will also sell spells, though I am not sure if he sells the same spells or not.

I hate blighttown!

That area is fcking hell! Hope I never need to go back there.
Every one hates Blight town, you are not alone. However, once you beat Quelaag there is little reason to come back.

The only reasons to return that I can think of is:
- Siegmeyer of Catarina's questline.
- To talk to Quelana.
- Farm green titanites from the slugs.
- Going to the Great Hollow and then to Ash Lake (also part of Siegmeyer's questline).

Edit: Get the rusted iron ring to move quickly in the swamp at the bottom of blight town.

@rhitwick I think I have a suggestion for u. Instead of using the ring mod, you can instead just save ur savegame in another location, and recopy the savegame location in "documents/NBGI". This would load up the earlier save, with the old amount of sould. Doing that would -:

a. Provide u a more legit way to play the game, and remove the chances of savegame corruption.
b. U will make backup of ur savegames which is absolutely important.
c. Force you to not cheat in the game that much as you will have to reload the game to regain old amount of souls. It would prevent cheating without a reason, and you will have to provide a good reason of reloading the save (to urself),

tl:dr Instead of using the ring mod, instead use the idea of save scrubbing to ur advantage, imo it would be a better experience.

The option will be available in the darkroot garden. The forest covenent is one of the most useful one, at least it was for me.

No. Don't really have time these days to check. But I hear it changes a lot of things so it's better to play it after finishing the game at least once.

Yeah, its like experiencing the game all new! I beat the game before once ofc , but I am still struggling with its new progression path and boss. I would def. recommend it if you wanna "play it like a virgin", like they say.
