>DLC so bad it literally has you collecting fragments of dried fecesWhat a spicy meataball!
>still pushing "SotE is bad!!" narrative in 2026
>>743433726I understand the corner they painted themself into regarding progression but why not just make the blessings rewards for killing bosses? They already fucking solved this in sekiro. Who wants to fucking grocery shop for skibidi toilets on repeat playthroughs?
>>743433726>hurr what's this trash on the ground, my build can't use it and I don't read descriptions exploration needs more meaningful rewards>NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
>>743433726OP mad as hell still that they had the foresight to implement a mechanic so people with max level characters would still have a challenge and not bulldoze the dlc
Overture > Shadow of the Erdtree
>>743437026I just looked up info. There’s 42 bosses in shadow, and 50 fragments. It wouldn’t even require that much tweaking of the attributes to assign one to each boss. The only issue would be that removing them would make exploration even more barren than it already is. But I take barren over tedious any day.
>>743437026>Who wants to fucking grocery shop for skibidi toilets on repeat playthroughs?Ng+ cycles keep them.
>>743433726>i can't steamroll the DLC with my level 300 bloat build that spams ashes of war unless i do eleven minutes of running around the map and kill three hippos that you can get stuck in a crit loop with almost any weaponKWAB
>>743437507isnt mohg an endgame area? it shouldnt be a massive level difference if someone just used a character from beating mohg or just have a pop up for a save that recently beat elden beast to ask if you want to revert to previous checkpoint so can backtrack to the palace
>>743433726They could have just not inflated the bosses healthpools>>743436859It isn't but the boss fights are all atrocious. Especially the Consort Radahn fight, fucking ridiculous garbage. Totally unfair and completely out of left field lore-wise. Genuinely just an excuse for Miyazaki to force his bear/twink brocest fetish into the game. The audacity it takes to make him the last boss as well.

>>743437026They should've dropped from bosses but really SOTE also has the same issue as the base game which is boss bloat. Things like random dragons or mobs being bosses for example. Killing Divine Beast or even Rellana first should've made killing Bayle or Romina easier and so on.
>>743439826>i can't steamroll the DLC with my level 300 bloat build that spams ashes of warWhat's the point of playing the base game up to the high levels if your damage just plateaus anyway? Maybe I want to be rewarded for working hard enough to make an ash of war spamming bloat build. The worst part of this philosophy is that it also locks more honest but less damage heavy builds out of playing the DLC legit. So someone fucking ash pf wars your boss to death in three hits, so the fuck what? That isn't even how tje vast majority of people play the game. Why the fuck would you balance your DLC around meta players who are the vast minority to begin with? Why punish players for using the tools available to them?

>>743441057The moment I saw the second dancing lion I just groaned and skipped it. I wanted more dungeons but I got some weird ass stealth forest section and mostly disappointing bosses. Messmer was cool though
>>743441262Honestly. Just lazy design. I would rather there be less bosses than repeats.
