Something I'v always wanted to do in dark souls was to pick one normal weapon, and upgrade it to max with a specific element, and have that as my one and only weapon, and i was just wondering if i tried this with my scimitar, would it scale well enough to become something viable for beating the game, and more then that, Pvp.

Don't upgrade it with an element!!! They got nerfed to the max, go Plus 15+ and then just use Crystal Magic Weapon or Charcoal/Pine Resin.

This is the best for high levels. Very low levels will benefit from elemental stuff due to the lack of stat points and thus scaleing

True.

However pvp standard level is 125, which leaves much room for other stats.

Here is a modified DEX version of a build I currently use.
Linky.

Elemental weapons don't scale, so don't level up DEX, you can put it on stuff like VIT and END.
