So, Heres a theory:  Dark souls II and Dark souls III take place in two different timelines. What If each ending in the First game leads to a different reality, and each reality hosting a different game. My reason for thinking this comes from How in DSII,  The events of DSI are practically forgotten,  yet then in DSIII,  the events of DSI are still somewhat known (They arent remembered very well, but the are remembered better then they were in DSII), while the events of DSII might as well of not happened. For me, this just doesn't make sense,  Why is DSI forgotten in DSII, while DSI is remembered in DSIII while DSII is forgotten? The only explanation for this discrepancy that I could find is that the games happen in seperate time lines,  And given how there are Two endings in the original game, This time line seems plausible. For example, Lets say linking the fire leads to the events of DSII, while leaving the flame to die leads to DSIII. Im curious to know what people think of this, because I have yet to find a similar theory anywhere else.
