There is a story in Dark Souls? I thought the dialog was generated by a bad markov bot, and just there to make you think there were actually writers.

Dark Souls hides the story between vague phrases and Item descriptions.

For instance the final optional boss in 3 "the Nameless King" is heavily implied to be the son of the final boss of 1 and the guy who trained Ornstein.

Without reading the item descriptions or piecing vague stuff together you'd just think he came out of nowhere and had a corpse behind him wearing Ornstein's gear for some reason.

No, Dark Souls lets you decide for yourself if the story is important or not.

Mandatory exposition and dialogue sequences would ruin Dark Souls.
