Many people, including myself, don't like the
controls of Dark Souls 2.
This Tutorial will show you how to have the Dark Souls controls in
Dark Souls 2.
1. Run
Dark Souls 2 and Open the
Menu
2. Go to
Key Bindings
3. Configure the bindings
as pictured below (
very important)

4.
Close Dark Souls 2
5. Download, install and run
AutoHotKey 
6. If you run AutoHotKey for the first time you will be asked to
create a sample script. Press
Yes
7.
Windows Editor will open now with a sample script filled with informations about AutoHotKey. Delete everything inside the sample script
8.
Copy the code below,
paste it into the sample script,
save and close Windows Editor. How the script should look:

9. Run
AutoHotKey (a small Icon should appear near the Windows Clock),
right click the Icon and click
Reload This Script (The script is now activated)
10. Run Dark Souls 2 (Now the controls should work like they did in Dark Souls)
Keybindings:
[Left Mouse] = Normal Attack
[Right Mouse] = Strong Attack
[E] = Use Item
[Q] = Interact (Open/Talk)
[T] = Guard Break
[R] = Jump Attack
[Shift] = Shield Up/Down
[ALT] = Use Weapon Two Handed
Missing:
The only thing that is missing is the
Shield-Parry (Keyboard: TAB). If anyone knows how to bind this with AutoHotKey, please post in this thread.
