So the Drake Sword is not really a good way to go then, I suppose. It really does well where I am now, and I 1 hit the weaker mobs, but I need to look for something else soon if it does not work with dex.
Since it's my first playthrough I have no idea on what weapon I will end up using later in the game, but as for now the Drake Sword is certainly helpfull.
I am not asking you to choose for me, I just want to know what my options are

drake sword doesn't scale with anything so it's going to crap out on you really really fast.
do you like heavy weapons or light quick weapons.
do you like swords, spears, katanas, axes, halberds?
you should try the wiki to see what weapons are out there.
but yes, early on the drakes sword is really nice, though i find it ruins part of the game cause you end up relying on it too much and feel like crap when you realize it doesn't do enough.
for my 2nd playthrough i decided to get the claymore and went with that weapon.
my first playthrough i used the laito, but yea it's up to you, i can recommend weapons based on what you prefer/like
