Scholar of the First Sin: How to RUIN a Good Game

A critique of SotFS and why I don't like it. Comparing and contrasting Scholar with Vanilla, let's figure this mess out, come to some conclusions as to why it doesn't work, and possibly even suggest some design fixes.

Please forgive the sections where I have my stream camera on. It was by accident but I wasn't going to replay the whole game just to not have it there. So have some good gamer face.
