Well, i got i pretty different theorie but may very interesting.

What if thos gods were just stronger creatures not really gods, taken their strength from the souls(well actually know), they just call themselves gods. But they made it possible for the human to live arround lordran as they killed the dragons.

So now to the theory: they didnt elimante all the dragons, but most of the region around lordan. (thats why alot in the e3 vid). After most dragons gone life got peacefull, but the undead spread over the region so gwyn, threw the undead into the prison. Most forgotten is the 4th(the dark) soul who is the reason for the undead, and the abyss and all darkness. the pygmy has followers, the primordial serpents, there are alot more than we think. As seen in the bad ending.

So to Dark Souls II, this will be a region far away, where the dragons and drakes are not killed, but the furtive pygmy grasps for more power, in dark souls you defeated most of his enemies and how ever you see the both endings, the pygmy wins.

Since the undead are the product of the pygmy, you will try to stop the reborn out of the flames by finding the pygmy and destroying his followers. I think the dragons will only play a side part, cause its a eyecatcher to have dragons in trailers. Also in the region of ds2 the people tried to kill the dragons. But their bones still living like in lost izalith.

Since the producer said its a sequel and no direct connections here are some people i think we will meet in dark souls 2 and reason wy i think it:

Gwynever, well you actually never met her, and ther is a guy mentioned as flamegod flann, (even some of a god), she followed.

Flamegod flann, i guess he will take a similar role to gwyn, and be the "creator" of bonfires in ds2.

Velka, there is alot of interesting stuff in dark souls about her, but after all you dont really know what happend to her or where she is or went. But it seems she tries to bring justice over the gods, and the gods fled and she followed(or may hunt them).To much specualtion here why velka. but i think she got a lot of more story potential.

Black Cyclops Dragon, a descandant of kalameet, seen in trailer so not a big specualtion. But who knows if we really fight him this time.

Primordial serpents, well we know only two, and seen alot mor at the bad ending.

Warning Total Speculation: The girl from the trailer is a dragon Tamer.

These are hard speculations, and i bet some of them are already wrong, i hope my english wasnt that bad. Im sorry for this.
