Deep and melancholic? There's nothing deep and melancholic about any of it. There are locations that are connected in ways that don't make sense and outright contradict lore statements, none of the characters are likeable and have personalities or histories worth being invested in. None of the bosses have histories we find out about through items or lore in any way beyond "HEY THIS PERSON DID SOMETHING MAYBE" and all of the lore is murky. From an objective standpoint, the writing in this one is much more stale and less intriguing; it's very basic and on par with a generic JRPG. Dark Souls 2 does not have deep lore. The only thing remotely melancholic about it are the few callbacks to the first game, and even then they are not loving references, but giant middle fingers to the beloved first game. Dark Souls 2 has terrible lore and a generic story, and the fact that people just willing eat this crap that From shovel at them will only mean things won't improve.
