There was one other change that was made to Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin that had a massive impact on the gameplay. Then there comes the almost traditional choice at the end of Souls games – do we link the fires or take the power for ourselves and forge our own path? Entering the memories of a dead Giant allows us to fight the Giant Lord and claim his power for our own, using that to sort out Nashandra once and for all. It’s here where the story becomes even more bonkers than usual, as the prospect of time travel is introduced and we are able to access the memories of dead bodies, allowing us to live through times long gone. It turns out that Nashandra is a great big fibber, and for reasons that I’ll not go into in case you haven’t played it, we end up having to stop her instead. Instead we find the Queen, Nashandra, and she tells us that the King has fled the kingdom after failing in his duty. Once we have the Souls (and believe me, it is a lot easier to type this than actually do it) we are tasked with seeking the King of Drangleic. To avoid this fate, we have to travel to the fallen kingdom of Drangleic, and as luck would have it the Emerald Herald is looking for a volunteer to slay four Old Ones and recover their Great Souls. Why and how isn’t clear, but what is a certainty is that our future holds nothing except becoming Hollow and losing what little humanity we have left, eventually becoming a zombie-like being with no memories, no purpose and, worst of all, no hope. Basically, as far as I can make out, we were Human, in the beginning, but have now become Undead. The storyline of the game is again, as it was in the first game, somewhat difficult to uncover, as Dark Souls 2 doesn’t do much of a job of explaining what is happening to you, or why.
