Fire enchant doesn't scale at all, so it's definitely not something you'd want to stick with for very long. It's great for getting to SL45 or so while spending all level-ups except the bare minimum to equip a weapon in stats like end/vig/vit, but past that point you should have enough str/dex/whatever to make a scaling weapon easily more powerful.

Merchant lady in firelink starts selling unlimited shards once you feed her enough ash. Haven't seen a source of large shards yet.

The early legs should be hand to mouth and bootstrappin' your way to a basic build.
Working as intended, imo.
Souls really aren't limited, its not like shit stops respawning. You can farm literally hundreds of thousands of souls just killing the five knights at the end of the first area repeatedly spawning at either the bosses' bonfire after killing him, or the initial bonfire and running down after opening the shortcut. All it takes is time.

WTF - I've already passed that area and never killed a dog or a fucking tree. I've killed the first boss knight and some magic boss and am now getting punished by these guys past the skeletons.
And that, is exactly why I love this game. Probably the best trilogy ever for someone like me (sadist). World design, mob design so far has been really fantastic - the developers of these games deserve some awards...
It's definitely way less generous with the souls than DS2 was. Feels more akin to DS1. In DS2, enemies in the second area gave like 500 souls each and you could be level 70 a couple of hours into the game. Here, enemies give like 30-50 souls and you don't get tens of thousands for consuming boss souls. It seems the typical level people finish NG at is 80ish. In DS2, if I didn't waste souls, I could be level 170 by the end without doing any extra farming besides maybe the dwarf dudes in Door of Pharros to get enough chunks for my first fully upgraded weapon.

What I enjoy about this game is it's a little less linear. Like after the first boss and you're up on Lothic there's multiple paths and you don't know which way is the 'right way', if there even is one. In DS2 there were multiple paths in the beginning, but really once you started going that way it was very linear.

Haha sweet how did you get there? I went from the firelink Shrine to the first area via travel (The only other one that was open) and then found the Dog boss, after that I was taken away by Gargoyles to a new segment.

They cut all Lances from the game?
Not even the "Lances" being used in the road of sacrifice can be dropped?
Catacombs

Catacombs
while there is no damage benefit to Blessed weapons, I am stunning even the scary skeletons with a single hit, and by stunning I mean to the point where they collapse on the ground and I can hold+strong attack for a mass damage finisher. Much stronger than just "they stay dead" from catacombs in DS1

Yes that's what I meant, road of sacrifice. However, they don't drop it.
They're actually using lance attacks from previous souls games with their poles.
And what's wrong with that swamp? You always move at max speed and there's no poison
