I never really noticed or thought about this before but there's quite a bit of stuff in the DLC that has me questioning whether or not the game itself matches the lore in the sense that there are plenty of people who are alive and well (Melina's line when urging you not to seek the Flame of Frenzy also states that life still flourishes and that births still happen), they're just not shown in game because Fromsoft doesn't think they can do bustling, living cities well.

What do you think? Are the few NPCs we meet all that's left in the world or are they just representative of a larger picture we don't see due to the fact it's a game?

I always assume there's stuff going on that we just don't see, and in the case of this game at least there's certainly stuff going on beyond the sea.

I think it has to be a little of both, although I'm not really up to speed on the lore.
