It makes a lot of sense to keep the pages separate. There will be people that will only play Dark Souls II and not the first and vice versa. Combining the pages would just mean that there will be a lot of irrelevant data to sift through for some people.

I do have a related question about gameplay mechanics, however. If a particular mechanic stays exactly the same, it seems it would make sense to just have one page on the subject. And how about mechanics that are nearly the same, but with minor changes: should there be one or two pages in such cases?
