but yea Proth, you'll probably enjoy PvP after your first playthrough. Just the game has been out over a year now and people will twink kill you for lol's.
You should play offline until you're ready for PvP, because there are some NPC's that won't appear unless you're in human form. They will invade your game and are part of the lore/story.

*for example you can summon an npc to help you defeat the catacombs boss then the npc invades you in another zone then after defeating that second zone's boss on your own, his armor set is nearby to grab (which has a huge boost to one stat actually) Yea, I hear too much that people don't bother even turning human. There are a lot of benefits for doing so even if you turn the game offline.

Capra isn't really hard if you use the stairs to your advantage.. I had more trouble out of his 2 dogs than him. First time I went in though he bumrushed me and I died 2 seconds after.
Also~ Didn't notice until now but Kirk dropped his shield when I killed him in the depths. :3

dont know if id ever play without having humanity active tbh @@ the stat bonuses are kinda nice. i'll switch to offline though yeah, ive only been invaded a couple times and only lost the one time I got one shotted while fighting some skeletons, but that one time was enough to deter me really.

my first invasion...
I just managed to kill the demon outside the blacksmith.
I entered the forest and was killing the trees, then I heard a noise and freaked the hell out holding my shield up. Looked around and found that the door had a fog up and I couldn't get past it.
He was about to run at me but I was in a corner ;;;;; so he dropped some stuff and started pointing at it. I thought it was a trick so I started looking through my menu to try and banish them :|
I eventually picked it up and he gave me some humanity and titanite stuff. I still didn't want to fight so he was just... messing with me I guess. I didn't want to fight him though >.> I just went off fighting stuff and got near the door to the forest guardians before he backstabbed me and killed me instantly.
