Is resistance important Dark Souls?

Resistance is hugely useful and is often forgotten. Resistance always increases all your defensive stats by 2 points at least, and will boost your resistance to poison and curses. Having already put my resistance at 18 when I entered The Depths, I was never cursed once although I did come close.

What should I level up in Dark Souls?

Best is to either go strength or Dex, even for a first playthrough. The game has more than enough replay value to do a run with either. If you go with a dex build, leveling up strength to 14 or 16 will allow you to use most dex weapons. The uchigatana can be gotten very early in the game and is a great weapon to use.
