Can you free roam in Dark Souls?

In particular, you absolutely CANNOT "go anywhere you want at any time in the game". You'll still have to beat Father Gascoigne, etc., to advance (and remember that in NG+, they also get stat boosts). In short, if you want to free roam, do not defeat the final boss (whichever one that may be).

Is Dark Souls 1 or 3 easier?

If anything, DSIII is much harder, at least in the back half. The first game front-loads its difficulty, peaking with Ornstein & Smough at approximately the halfway point, and from there it's all downhill- none of the bosses in its latter half are anywhere near as challenging, at least once you figure out their tricks.

Not really. They're both 3rd person action games, but the comparison ends there. GoW is significantly more story focused and the combat is far, far, far more forgiving than a souls game. Think more along the lines of Uncharted or the new Tomb Raider games.
