    I sadly have to disagree regarding Elden Ring. I love the DLC, but there’s pretty much 0 integration with the rest of the game. Nothing you do in the base game will change interactions in the DLC, and vice versa.

    If a couple voice lines changed (e.g. for Melina, Midra regarding the Frenzied Flame, Miquella regarding Malenia) I’d agree completely, but as it is it’s very slapped on.

      That DLC is amazing. The gear you get there can be used anywhere. The only thing that doesn’t carry over between sections of the game is the blessings, which are only needed in the DLC area, so who cares?

        Not sure my comment deserves a downvote when I clearly formulated my criticism after specifying that I very much like it, but you do you.

            Name checks out. Are you also forgetting the DLC is awkwardly levelled too? That it’s not accessible until quite far into the game but if you try go into it with a complete save you’ll be dramatically over-levelled.
