Finished Dark Souls 2. The ending was a yawn-fest. That's not to say that the first game's endings offered a very thorough explanation of the events that took place, but at least they made sense--and there were two of them! In this one, you're forced to settle for the one ending.

And quite frankly, regardless of Dark Souls 2's apparent quality, Drangleic does not offer nearly as much intrigue and/or replay value as Lordran did in the first game.
