I kinda feel the same way. I like DkS2, but I don't live and breathe it like DkS1.

Never hurts to check out the roots!

Did anyone check out the PC version? Apparently it's a lot more Dark. I also played the PS3 version at a friends place and his TV brightness settings (read: more dark) also gave the game a bit more dread.
The PC version is essentially the same but better looking. You can download ENB and make it darker as well as Durante's Downsampling mod. Both of them make the game prettier.

There is nothing in this game that causes particular dread. Hell, the only thing in the first one that caused anything close to dread was the Tomb of Giants and that was easily fixed with the Sunlight Maggot or Cast Light.
