2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I loved my playthrough of Elden Ring - and I'm happy I got to play it at launch and participate in the zeitgeist and discovery of it at the point where the wikis weren't even populated etc - but I'm not super keen to play the DLC. Finishing the game was definitely a little more of a relief that it was over than I would have hoped to feel. It didn't help that the last boss is terrible, so the game kind of ends on a sour note.

Also, FromSoft DLCs are always much harder than the base game. I already didn't enjoy what they did with Malenia, if they try to top her in the DLC I honestly just can't see myself having any fun.

EDIT: spelling

As someone currently slogging through dark souls 2, that second paragraph is giving me PTSD.

The Dark Souls 2 DLCs are some of the best content in all of Souls. While the original game has some level design issues, the DLCs are sublime.

Counterpoint: the run back to blue smelter demon and the run back to sir alonne.
