I love DS2 and it may be my favorite Dark Souls. That being said, I beat it several times before Scholar came out, and I acknowledge that Scholar made the game wildly inaccessible to new players.

Some of the changes were definitely for the worse. Iron keep especially has way too many enemies with crazy far aggro distances.
