While Scholar of the First Sin doesn't add any substantial content or new areas outside of the included DLC trilogy, the main draw for Dark Souls II veterans can be found in the reworked enemy placement. And if you think you've seen everything Dark Souls II has to offer, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
While most would be content with including all the available DLC, slapping a 'Game of the Year Edition' sticker on the box, and calling it a day, From has gone the extra mile in making their reworked bundle of content absolutely worth a double-dip. And the meaningful changes to the original game only underline just how much FromSoftware seems to be playing by an entirely different set of rules than everyone else.
Last week, I had the chance to play a portion of the upcoming Scholar of the First Sin port of Dark Souls II, and I'm happy to say what Bandai-Namco had on display essentially gave me exactly what I felt the original version lacked.
