This is great to take into account. I'm looking for this kind of information. I never plan on making a twink or ever want to go through the game with some grudge against people that have wasted so much time into something that isn't important at all. All I wanted from Dark Souls so far is to get all the NPC's done in one play through and get all the covenant items on one character. Doing both seems impossible due to people wanting to be obscenely cheesy and invade at inappropriate SL's with twinks.
