You're only given an intro to the story. Everything else unfolds as you play and communicate with NPC's. The end of a level is made obvious when you get there... When you start up an area, you're job is to explore that area and find and destroy the boss Demon's that inhabit it.
If you die, walk back to where you died and die again, it means you failed again. Plain and simple. That's where you take the initiative to figure out what you're doing wrong and correct it. You have to work your way back there as punishment for dying in the first place. The game doesn't hold your hand and bring revive you at a check point that was just 8 seconds away form where you died. If you're able to and actually succeed at the level, you're rewarded with more souls than what you would have gotten with just a straight playthrough with no deaths.
If this is to complicated for you then just give up:
The basterd sword is a Large sword and has a high strength requirement of 18.
If you got a message saying you weren't strong enough to wield this sword with one hand [right hand], then your strength stat is under 18.
Press triangle while the weapon is in your right hand (primary attack hand) and you wield it with both hands. Using a sword with two hand should be easier to wield than just one hand... makes sense? If all that's required for you to use the weapon is some better strength then two hands should fix the problem. Makes sense?
Of course, this means you don't have a shield. You can block with the sword but it doesn't guard as well as a shield so you will take more damage. Since you don't have your shield which is used for parrying, you can't parry...
How hard is it just to take some time and learn the status screen? Did the symbols scare you off?

The story was non existent IMO.
I dont mind going back the way i came but when they respawn the same enemies in the same location then that is just lame development.
Again over complicates things, Just make it so i can only use the sword with two hands, why would they even give you the option to use it with one hand? If your using the sword with both hands then you can block with it, if your using it with one hand you cant... that makes sense.
I would rather be babied through a game and have fun than have a game that is boring, tedious and repetitive. Maybe thats why FF games are so well liked?

1) You want the enemies in different locations? Then you say that you would prefer a game that holds your hand compared to this? Ok...
2) It's pretty simple
Use it with one hand:
You have a free hand for an additional weapon, casting tool, a shield, or if you're really good with parrying you can parry with your bear hands.
Standard strength.
Use with both hands:
Deal more damage with each attack.
Strength and Dexterity Requirement lower.
You can't parry.
You can block but it doesn't work as well as a shield [of course].
I can't remember if the Barbarian class starts off with enough strength to use the Bastard Sword, but it doesn't matter. Your class choice only determines what you are when you start. You can level your stats how ever you please once you start playing. Getting Strength to 18 is short work compared to other weapons like Garl's Brand or the White Bow.
