Dark Souls 2 has a wonderfully adjustable difficulty level. It is handled without offering the player a few vague menu options before they've even touched the game. Basically, the game is already on "easy" or normal mode by default. Covenant of Champions is accessible very early in the game for those who want to play on "hard" mode. Bonfire Ascetics can also be used to make the game more difficult.
It's actually funny to see people ask for an easy mode. They're already playing on it.
