It's not out for a couple of months yet, but maybe you want to play through the game again so you'll be ready for when the DLC drops. I have a mage build and a dex bleed build already. I've got a faith build going as well that I barely started the game with. Might just start with that one.

How do we know if we can use an older character? Every DLC these days is standalone & separate from the main story

OG character so I have a proper reference point for it in comparison to the base game.

I haven't played ER in a long while though so I've made a new character to refresh myself on in a month or so.

We are going by historical precedent with Fromsoft. All of their DLCs are effectively instanced from the world state. There's no reason to assume it's going to be anything other than this.

I don't count precedent worth jack shit these days lol, I'll believe I can use my previously established character when it's time. Especially since Shadow is a prequel thousands of years in the past in the game's universe & more than likely to be a separate entry at the main menu like other Namco Bandai games

Miyazaki's literally said that Miquella's hand after Mohg is the entry point and that the DLC takes place at the same time as the rest of the game.

I'm on the fence. Normally I'd start over, especially with how long it's been since I've played, but I'd want to do something different from what I've already done, build-wise, and nothing is really coming to mind. Plus I tend to be a completionist and will end up doing all the boring, repetitive crypts and caves, and I'm not sure I feel like putting in the time.

Do you know how Dark Souls 3's DLC went? The Painted World and the Ringed City Was a three-tiered location that you could access from in-world at various stages to the world that took place in an alternate reality. Dark Souls DLC featured events hundreds of years prior to the game's current world stage. Your edgy contrarian shtick isn't doing the lifting here.

"Edgy contrarian" being when lots of other games recently not having DLC or expansions carry over content to another part of a game so I'm therefore skeptical of it? Rebirth not carrying over data, Tales of Arise not carrying over data to the DLC. You people should learn some new grammar so you can't just quote buzzwords to pretend like you're right about something just because people are reasonably skeptical of carry over in video games.

Painted world & ringed city were 7 years ago, DLC practices & standards have dramatically changed & not everything runs the same way. Maybe instead of crawling up your own ass in denial you could think "ya know I understand how someone could be skeptical of the current gaming industry even if From Software is the developer, but we have it on good assurances that your main character will carry over."

Kay after looking it up because Alucard would rather be an asshole than just link information, I see what Kajel is talking about that there will be an area to access it by getting past Mohg to the cocoon where Miquella is, then touching that to go to an alternate reality like with Ashes of Ariandel. That answers my skepticism

Yeah imagine that, I didn't have up to date information & looked it up myself instead of 3 different people just telling me I'm wrong & contrarian instead of informing me. What's the point of a forum right?

Been thinking about Friede and how much I want to replay DS3 again.

Elden Ring never clicked for me. I started to go into a tangent, but I'll skip it. Felt bloated, exploration and loot weren't rewarding, awful PvP and build variety problems, and full of repetitive content. I made it to the Sewers/SL125 before bowing out. Faith was my chosen build and it felt so weak and lifeless.

ooh! oooooh! is it picking fights from an uninformed position, and then telling people you don't give 'jack shit' about it until after several tries someone finally reaches you and you do some research on your own?

i think my rl100 will be fine.

little silly to say someone is drifting from their lane when you make posts like you did in this topic. because the whole metaphor there is about not running your mouth when you don't know what you're talking about.

yeah, i didn't do any of those things, and i certainly wasn't ever in purgatory. i think maybe you need to keep your eyes on the road.

if anything, the last time i was modded, it was for calling someone out who had actually denied the holocaust on this site.

I'll be playing with one of my son's. I am currently running a Sorcerer build through the game with a Raziel fashionsouls theme. I pulled my old pyromancer/madness build out a bit and toyed with it, but I didn't remember much from that playthrough, it has been a few years. Sticking to the main quest, only grabbing the equipment, ashes and scrolls I need for my build. Trying to NOT burnout. Just capping my level out at this point.
