don't bother reading this if you don't care about Elden Ring lore because you would just be wasting your time

Elden Ring’s first DLC will be released this month. I’m excited to play it.

But at the same time I feel it is gonna be the last one.

For me this is a bit regrettable. But not because I want a Marvel-like endless supply of content. It seems like the DLC is gonna be about the founding of the Erdtree era. But I am significantly more interested in whatever ends up happening with Godwyn. In the base game, his influence was extremely far reaching in breadth but not in depth. His posthumous existence implies serious ramifications but they are not addressed in the base game.

I am really interested in more background for Miquella and Marika but not at the cost of Godwyn.

    unrelated rant

    I couldn’t get into Elden ring and it kinda makes me sad. Like the open world feels so empty in most places and the enemies are copy paste. And I kept a journal to remember quests/characters, but I’m still missing stuff. How isn’t there a in-game journal?? Why am I limited in map markers. I had this huge list of removed and gripes before I quit and just googled all the lore questions I had.

    reject modernity, return to DS1 tail cuts

    I feel this being the only DLC is just a result of them moving on to Armored core in between. Product-wise, it makes no sense for them to commit another year and a half or two for a second DLC rather than work on Elden ring 2 or whatever is their next soulslike is.
