On the contrary, Dark Souls is renowned for being very cryptic in it's "story" or it's apparent lore. In order to make sense of it you need to read every little item description, engraving, take note of environment and world details. Go online and read more, get others opinions and discussion groups. The game (and series) are heavily lore inspired and even then it's still open to interpretation.
