I just came here to bitch about what an idiot I was for not seeing the fucking hole in the floor with a ladder in it right next to a bonfire where the old hag vendor woman that sells throwing knives is. I presume that because of this, I am way behind in areas to discover and again I have a twisted and not normal game progression going....damn the devil to hell. (In Demon's Souls I took the master key which again threw me on a path that was not nicely progressing at all).
Sigh...

It's not as bad as in DS1. There I could not find the door to the depths and got stuck in the under garden.
In DS2 all paths from the start eventually lead to the same place and aren't all that different in difficulty. Wherever you go first, you get your ass kicked, the next areas become progressively easier. I don't think there is such a thing as a normal game progression in a dark souls game :)

Oh, wait...I took the master key in DS1 actually. I didn't find the dor to the depts either, but having the key I was accessing areas where I was not supposed to go...anyway.

I don't read the thread for fear of spoilers, so I'll just ask:

Last evening, while being a hollow I was invaded by a dark spirit which did not act much like an AI at all, then a Blue spirit came, but it was to late, I got killed by soul arrows. So, are there players or AI? It was  a bit frustrating because the dark spirit was clearly better then me at PvP ... Either that or the AI is quite good.

Unfortunately you can now be invaded when hollow, it probably was a player. Matchmaking is still pretty bad, I got invaded by people with spells I didn't have access to for another 30 hours. In some cases another player in the blue sentinels covenant can come to your aid if you're in that covenant as well.
The AI invasions are all very straight forward and usually stay where they spawn until you come close. Later in the game I got a routine of always dropping my co-op sign somewhere. That gives a good advance warning. When it says your summon sign has disappeared an invasion is coming about 30 to 60 seconds later. Then I either log out of psn, or run back to the bonfire and jump off a cliff to reset. (Bonfire gets locked out as well before the invasion arrives)
