I mean, if you've got the time, I know Vaati Vidya is the most popular DS lore video guy, but he only tends to go into surface detail. I really like Jerks Sans Frontiers' videos on DS3's Lore.I think it expands on DS1 quite a bit, and though I can agree that it doesn't totally do it's own thing, it does it very very well, and the aspects that separate it from the pack are quite intriguing. I don't really come from a point of Nostalgia with these games myself, I've only just recently gotten into them, and from a fantasy fiction/media standpoint, they're some of the best, IMO.
