Ditto. And not grinding.

 Ditto as well as to what JAB said but I am still ok with grinding. :-P

You can grind in any of the of the souls games to a rediculous point if you want, somewhere around 800-900 levels maxing out all your ability scores.  Even going around 30 levels higher that what the internet says for an area will make the game much much easier.  The levels have increasing costs so it becomes slower to grind for them unless you progress to where more souls are found (although there's some very easy to get to places in ER, one I stumbled on fairly early without spoilers, that can give you huge amounts of souls earlier than expected. There may be places like that in the other games.)
I generally don't grind level much in the games, as helping in co-op gives you plenty which I like to do at least a little.  Unfortunately the older games co-op is dead and you have to do it the hard way (or get a friend to drop a bunch of soul items, which I also haven't done.)
I do grind upgrade materials a bit as I like to have multiple weapons upgraded, I generally don't find that terribly grindy though, except when I make another character and have to do it all over again (I did cheat up some materials one time in DS1 as I found that 3rd grind pretty annoying.)
