Im wondering how long this game is... Im at the gaping dragon right now, am I halfway done?

Halfway point is Sen's Fortress...Gaping Dragon is about 1/4th.

That Undead Merchant Lady is just ripping you off. Oswald of Carim (the guy on the tower where you fought the Gargoyles) sells them for 3K a piece.

Really? That bitch, I knew something was fishy with her. But I needed it because I didn't want to go all the way back and risk losing my souls. Oh well, at least I beat the gaping dragon( which wasn't as hard as I thought it would be). I'll resume blighttown tomorrow. I heard that place is hardcore.

 

This game is a tad harder than Demon's Souls, I have to admit.

Well Blightown is Valley of Defilement 2.0. If you didn't had any difficulty traversing it on Demon's Souls, then you won't have much difficulty on Dark Souls. The problem on Blightown is that you can be surrounded by mobs pretty fast and if you don't have good poison resistance, then you'll get poisoned/toxin pretty quick too.

Yeah, Gaping Dragon is pretty easy since his moves are pretty slowish.

@arcane_chaos - I would recon that the best sets for a knight would be full Havel Set, Ornstein's Set, Stone set, Black Knight set or Paladin set. All of those are pretty heavish, so you may need to equip Havel's Ring just to avoid being over the maximum equip load.
