I have never really grinded in Souls games so that's true imo

I feel like pretty much everything in souls games has that problem. Bosses give so many souls, and both level requirements and soul drops scale so much over the course of the game that it's never really worth your time to kill anything that can respawn.
You know what is worth your time? Exploration. Can't really do that properly whilst a horde of murderous zombies are chasing you with axes and fireballs.

Well, unless you "explore" by watching youtube walkthroughs and then beelining straight to the item you were told you need there.

Not really at that point in the game. If you're ready for the DLCs you're already well into your build and farming upgrade material for another weapon isn't going to be very appealing. And I'd much rather run round grabbing items in the first snow area than dealing with any of the ambushed. The wolves are really annoying to deal with and offer nothing original or interesting since From copy and paste dogs since Demon's souls.

You're not wrong about the quality of the expansion, but that's simply not how I play my souls games. Or any games, for that matter.

We all try to take it slow, kill every enemy and enjoy the world the first time through. But once you realize everything you're picking up is worthless and the enemies are too tanky to be enjoyable to fight you ultimately try to skip as much as possible for your own sanity

There's been a lot of activity on SteamDB over the last few days. New DLC page has been added, yet to be revealed. The trailer and release date must be imminent.

I'm going to be a pessimist and assume it is the trailer.

Or is Fromsoft in the habit of announcing things weeks before releasing them? Devs these days like to build hype and have time to market their shit.

- Four Erdtree Watchdogs
- Crucible Knight but sword AND spear
- Two Tibia Mariners
- Spiritcaller Snail that summons an Astel
- Godskin quartet
- Yet another dragon
- Fuck you five Ulcerated Tree Spirits at the same time
- Just one Runebear again (toughest boss in the DLC)

Man, Miyazaki's gonna be pissed you leaked the design documents. Now he's gonna have to come up with something new like 10 dragons and notMalekith (same as Malekith but spins the other way round so totally different).
