Should i start with dark souls 1 or 3?

When games have a number attached to the end of their title, people tend to question whether they should start with the first game or if the sequel is a viable entry point. Veterans of Dark Souls and hardcore fans will suggest playing the first game, but in reality, it's perfectly fine to start with Dark Souls 3.

Should i play dark souls 3 or 1 first?
Definitely play DS1 first, reasons being: - DS3 is a direct sequel to DS1 and you won't even understand the intro video if you've never played DS1. Of course, a lot of people simply don't care about the story, but it absolutely won't make sense without having played DS1 first.

Can i play dark souls 1 first?
Well, there is no link between storylines, so you could play Dark Souls II without playing Dark Souls 1, but I would recommend playing the first game, because if you don't, you will have no idea what you're doing in Dark Souls II.

Where to start dark souls 1 dlc?
To get access to Dark Souls' DLC, Artorias of the Abyss, you will need to have first killed the Hydra in Darkroot Basin and placed the Lordvessel - which you can do after completing Anor Londo. From there, you should be able to tackle it.

Should i play dark soul 1 and 2 before 3?
You don't have to play the first 2 games in order to enjoy the 3rd one. Actually the 3rd one could be a good entry point. The story is related to the previous games, and there are a lot of references. But as always, the story is up to interpretation.
