That's kind of the issue with Soulsborne games in general. Because of the memed difficulty and the obscure, scattered lore and plot, players are incentivized to keep checking the wiki, and once you're there, it's impossible not to spoil yourself and start metagaming.
I only spoiled myself with a few FextraLife build videos to figure out what I should be equipping to make use of this build I suddenly found myself with, and learned about Moonveil. I mean, it was completely organic, but I still needed a hand to find MY Meta. It happens.
I started as a Wretch, because I was convinced that it would be the only time it would truly influence my gameplay, going blind and scavenging. Took 10 awesome hours to get to playable, and lucked into some ashes and weapons. I found I was developing a Dex/Int build...
I have ADHD (trouble focusing on any one thing) and precious little time to play games, so I'm constantly caught between a desire to do my own thing and the need to get through a game as quickly and as smoothly as possible so I can move on to the next thing in my backlog.
