Scholar of the First Sin vs. Vanilla
------------------------------------
SotFS is basically Vanilla DaS2, but updated for DirectX11 and PS4/XB1. All DLCs are included, a bunch of stuff was fixed and improved, and several new features were added. Long story short, SotFS is what DaS2 should have been at release, and it completely surpasses Vanilla. If you're new and your PC isn't a toaster, buy SotFS since it goes on sale on Steam regularly.
