    Fun fact for those that like to confuse: Scholar of the First Sin actually IS the proper name for the final patch of the original game. It was a content patch that added a bunch of things, including Aldia, to the game.
    They then also used that name for the altered re-release/remaster version on newer consoles.

    Something not mentioned in the video but was a thing on the day 1 version of the game was the Looking Glass Knight bug. Not sure if that was only on PC or not (I only played on PC). For some reason, the Looking Glass Knight fight would ignore volume settings (both in-game and in your system), so whenever he used a spell or ability, it was as loud as possible for your sound system's volume. The only way to counter this was to change the volume on your speakers/headphones (if your headphones have a volume setting, anyway).
    I was a little surprised when you didn't mention LGKs sound glitch. "Loud Knight" is a video which demonstrates the bug for those who never experienced it.

    For the idea of "things hitting harder in my head," a lot of the time numbers are misremembered due to the fact that you take additional damage from being damaged during a mistimed roll. Because of Adaptability, a lot of people tend to get punished through rolling in DS2, so damage may just seem way higher than it actually is for newer players.

    Yeah I played DS2 on release and lightning spear was awesome. The main nerf I remember was reducing the number of casts, think it was 24 at release which is pretty nuts for such a powerful midgame miracle.

    As someone who duel wield Chaos blades. They infact do double self dmg if you power stance. If you have one in your off hand while power stancing it still does self dmg. So, it was just a day one thing

    17:29 I don't think the "lore" behind that sound bite is accurate but I could be wrong lol. That's the death sound of the Retainer sorcerers in the Ivory King DLC.

    Calling it now, he used a lightning spear build
    I played DS2 all the way through on release, the miracles were absolutely insane, 11 castings of basic lightning spear from each scroll, vastly better damage, it was insanity.

    Smooth sweeping camera movements during cutscenes would've been a great way for showing off the frame pacing issue. Or slow camera movements with the analogue stick.

    I think another glitch that is still prevalent in scholar, is that the gargoyle bident's guard break has a really hard time connecting for some reason. I remember noticing it on the original game, but i remember testing it on scholar, and it was still the same.

    CONGRATULATIONS for this content my man! totally worth the time, DS2 did not appear to be a clusterfuck at release if we compare it to DS1, at least in terms of difficulty. Many of us agree that they really screwed the game big time with SOFTS, like they force you to follow a path or you're gonna bite the dust, I still prefer the vanilla version. Funny story, I played DS1 on Xbox 360 offline from a physical copy I got, then got the chance to update it mid-game, and boy was that not a huge difference, it was jaw-dropping to realize how little amount of souls I was getting from enemies, like The bell gargoyles in 1.0 only give you 1,000 souls in comparison to the 10,000 you get with the last update. It's always interesting to see these minor changes that can impact your experience so much, now I look forward to the DS3 video.
    P.S.: I F*CKING LOVE DS2, so much replayability.

    Immolation Damage was bound to the Pyromancy-Flame Upgradelevel it means that a higher Pyro-Flame increased the Immolation Damage (That´s what i know from the PS3 Version of DS2)

    The game would literally scream at you for piracy..? That seems pretty mild, but considering that's one of the player death sounds, it'd be pretty unsettling, hearing that in a single player session.

    I recently played through the "vanilla" version on 360 (although it was updated) and the Firekeeper's spoken lines usually wouldn't play so I would just see the subtitles. Load times were also painfully long

    One funny glitch is that poison wouldn't stop hurting you in cutscenes, so in the Black Gulch, you could easily die while watching the Rotten cutscene
