Why in the name of Gwyn did they allow you to open the door with 1,000,000 soul memory? Just... why? What for? Imagine if in Dark Souls 1 the gate of Sen's Fortress opened as soon as you'd earned... well, not 1 million because Sen's is a lot earlier in the game than the Shrine of Winter is in DS2, but 300,000 souls? Bugger the Bells of Awakening, just stuff around until you have enough souls. I just passed 1,000,000 Soul Memory and I've only just reached Black Gulch, so I feel really deflated knowing I could just push on with the game and that now The Rotten and Duke's Dear Freja are optional bosses. Just... WHY?
