No it wasn't, it was pretty much exactly the same game just with GfWL.
At least in Dark Souls I didn't experience random crashes, bugged skills, bugged weapons and corrupted saves.
This port was pretty much done better than any Bethesda game at launch.
So yes, Bethesda games are more often than not utterly fucking broken at release.
Did they make a good port? No, but it wasn't broken, contrary to others beliefs.
The only Bethesda game you could call broken at launch was Fallout 3 -- which was probably more due to being tied to Games for Windows Live (a shit patching and launcher system if ever there was one) and was also patched many times to remove quite of a few of the early issues.
Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim all played fine from day one bar an occasional bug, most of which didn't do shit to the game play (oh look a random NPC that nobody gives a shit about has fallen through the floor, what a disaster).
Fact is this: the Dark Souls port always was and continues to be unplayable without fan made mods, it's a joke of a port and the only people who would defend it are fanboys.
