This game obviously has my attention and has been on my radar, just like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I will get around to playing DE: HR, but now I want to know about Dark Souls. How is it? How's quality? How's the UI, loot and inventory systems? How is level design and music? Is it massive and expansive with branching paths, or very linear?

Worth a purchase?

Are both strength and dexterity required for higher level weapons? Only been spending points in strength, endurance and vitality so far.

Don't put too many points into Strength/Dexterity. Weapons scale significantly less with those stats than in Demon's Souls - once you get to about 20 with both, you can equip most of the weapons out there. If you want to 1-hand a 2-handed weapon, of course, feel free to keep pumping Strength, but otherwise Endurance and Vitality are better choices.

Capra demon is 95% luck, honestly. I banged my head against that particular wall about twenty'ish times, and then suddenly the twenty-first time went off without a hitch. If you have high Endurance or Vitality, block his first attack and then immediately make it up the stairs before hanging a right to the crumbling platform. If you can't avoid that first attack by blocking, try and roll through it and get to the stairs - either way, the stairs are a big part of this fight. It's tough, and that's primarily because the room is really not suited for the fight. Things get a -lot- less frustrating after him, though.

Sorry for double posting but BSN isn't showing my post right now so I can't edit.

Ornstein and Smough? I killed these guys first go which I was surprised at. I just charged as soon as I encountered them. Now I'm wearing the Golem's armor chest piece and Havel's armor for everything else. My character looks very big due to the armor and I'm trying to reach 50 strength so I can wield the dragon greatsword which I got off of the Everlasting Dragon in The Ash Lake. I also want to wield the Giant's Great Shield.

I'm having problems with Seath The Scaleless right now, I don't know how to get up close and personal with this guy and he's immune to my fire arrows (expected really, since he IS a dragon). After a few minutes in the fight with him, he CONTINUALLY casts a spell which sends frozen ice spikes across the WHOLE of the battlefield, there's only a small spot where you can stand and be safe and from there, you CAN'T do anything. Move and you get hurt, I had to teleport out of there.

SPOILER

You're supposed to lose that first fight with him. Later, you can fight him from a different area and he's significantly easier.

There is certainly an input delay bug - I've hit the 'power attack' button for my spear, and then nothing happened for a good four or five seconds, at which point I did the attack (at an entirely inopportune time, of course).

I ended up starting anew because, well, my 'main' character is in pretty bad shape because I more or less randomly upgraded. And killed the Pyromancy trainer.

What a difference it makes when you -know- all the little secrets and tells. Got to the same point as my main character in about a quarter of the time. And Pyromancy is almost unfair, to the degree that I've stopped using it because it really is absurdly powerful.

Trying to see if I can join the Darkwraith Covenant this playthrough.

Was exploring the catacombs and came across skeletons that even when backstabbed multiple times kept getting back up, the previous skeletons and giant skeletons die fairly easily, but these ones just keep getting up.

You need to either A) use a divine weapon or kill the necromancer. He's a guy with a beard and a torch, and each group of skeletons has one. Once he's dead, skeletons won't reanimate - or, as mentioned, you can just use a divine weapon and it'll have the same effect.
