As a Dark Souls series fan, these were my favorite games. Now the DLC, although incredibly challenging, beautiful in many areas and has tons of new features, weapons, and things to discoveretc., seems to me too convoluted and confusing with so many journeys ending in dead ends. This game for me has lost any reason to continue. the series. There are too many similar weapons with similar stats, etc. and quests that don't seem to work as of today - Metz for example where access opens o ce and does open again if you don't fight the boss.
Although I appreciate a challenge, some bosses and enemies seem so over the top powerful that seem to scale with your level to a just too annoying level.
Role playing games, like Oblivion gave you a sense that there was a greater purpose to your efforts - savig towns and communities. Bloodborne and DS3 were semi-difficult offered challenges for those who wanted to do the 100% thing. If I finish this game, I just don't see any point in playing it again.
