New to souls likes, is it possible to play these games without planning out your build in advance?

Post Body

I've tried soulslikes a few times in the past but I've always bounced off of them, I wanna try again with this one though. One thing that's always bothered me with these games is it seems like everyone who plays them knows exactly what their build is gonna be before they even start the game, which I get is useful since you can't reallocate stats, so you can screw yourself if you don't build your character right...

That being said, I hate looking things up about games I'm gonna play, I just wanna play the game, without knowing what's weapons there are, or anything like that, so how badly would I do if I'm just gonna wing it?
