Well I have played and beat Dark Souls 2 ^^' once
Spoilers a little:
I had my fun being a praiser of the Sun and my duties to the Rat King.
I feel a little shallow though when I am in the rat king's service since I shallowly kill players missing the sun, helping others. Most people I noticed that everyone hates the Rat King's covenant but I rather like the king <:3 and the duty for only one place which is "The Door of Pharros" which I end up calling the Tomb of troll items as in the Santier's Spear and Acid Surge. I sometimes feel mopy about letting the npc monsters that I work with die too. ><;
