I spent 45 minutes learning the game against that first camp’s major mob. Then spent like 3 hours trying to strategically get through those crossbow guys and troll in the tunnel thing before a buddy told me to just run through like all souls games. What? I was ready to break the goddamn controller.
Still used summons to dad mode the game. Malenia forced me to cheat with rivers of blood. I could not get her pattern down. At all. I think I almost beat her in my second or third try then that turned into 3 more hours of her hollowing out my ass.
Let's be real, the DLC will add at least 1 more gay Radahn-style fight and at least a hundred grab mobs hiding behind corners or bushes. Miquella fight will make Melania fight look like Artorius. There will be an entire dungeon consisting of entirely Anor Londo style snipers.
What else can they do?!?

Any idea what the fortress/fortresses are here? Looks like it might be the capitol?
This is gonna be on a new map (Miquella's Dream?) so this could be a location from the existing world as opposed to an entirely new place. Capitol city in the past is my guess.
Story making sense?Not into the Messmer thing-- but I trust From is going to do the DLC story in a way that makes sense having spent years in development.
Story making sense?
Should have said consistent with Elden Ring original lore and storytelling. Messmer is a nobody.
Like others, I don't really care for them pulling a character out of left field just for the DLC to make something up, but I'll give it a fair shake.
What if Messmer is Miquella?Yar, all they needed for this DLC was to just have Miquella be the main antagonist/driving character, like everybody expected. The Messmer reveal really kinda stalled out the trailer for me.
Miyazaki provided Eurogamer with further details of the expansion, and confirmed that Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin has not provided fresh material.
"As for George Martin's involvement, essentially it is the same as it was with the base game," said Miyazaki. "The DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is based on one part of that original mythos that he penned for us. It's not a brand new mythos that he's written specifically for Shadow of the Erdtree, he has not created something new which informed the design of the DLC. It's simply another part of the original story that we thought fit to tell as a new expansion."

Rendering judgement upon an Elden Ring DLC's story after watching a trailer is pretty foolish.Yar, all they needed for this DLC was to just have Miquella be the main antagonist/driving character, like everybody expected. The Messmer reveal really kinda stalled out the trailer for me.
