What changes and additions would you hope to see in a hypothetical Dark Souls 2 remaster?

Dark, Story-Driven Narrative

I know this might be a long shot, but imagine if they decided to completely rebuild Dark Souls 2 from the ground up. What features would you want them to add or modify?

Personally, I think there are so many areas that could use improvement. The combat mechanics felt a bit clunky compared to other games in the series. Maybe they could rework the hitboxes and make the movement feel more responsive.

The level design is another thing that comes to mind. Some areas felt rushed or poorly connected. It would be amazing if they could redesign certain zones to make them flow better with the overall world.

What about you? Are there specific bosses you’d want them to redesign? Or maybe changes to the upgrade system? I’m curious what the community thinks would make the biggest difference.

Soul memory really messed up the multiplayer experience. If they could just fix that, co-op and PvP would improve a ton.

Adaptability was a weird choice. It felt forced to make you level up for proper roll i-frames. They could have just included those i-frames in the base roll like they did in other Souls games. It would have made things smoother and less artificial.

Totally agree about the boss runbacks. It was frustrating dying to regular enemies just to get another shot at the boss. They should definitely streamline that if there’s a remaster.

Enemy placement could be way better. Some areas felt like they just dumped mobs everywhere without any thought.
