What's surprising about this DLC is that after 2 yrs of massive global fandom (lore speculation, fan art etc), fans of elden ring don't really get real closure- there is almost no story outside of NPC comments.

Cowboy, one of the biggest experts on souls on youtube is getting beaten by a mini-boss in the first half hour lol. Overall this expansion is much harder than the base game. All the other youtubers are not playing the game honestly and using the summon tear gimmick to get NPCs to help them so they can spam content quickly...

The Ashoka Hayden looks like he aged somewhat since Return of the Sith- although much better than he looks now. The AI seems to have not been able to get rid of some the heavier wrinkles. Tom Hardy looks like this now (the other was him in TABOO). Tom Cruise is looking good. So is Putin lol. They may have had some work done too. Tom Hardy probably doesn't have anything done at all: Not sure if you've seen it but in the show S1 ended in a cliffhanger. It could be that they continue where they left off or they opted for something like 10, 15 years later or something.

My first impressions from peaking through the full DLC playthrough is that the expansion is very intricately designed and has more great bosses- however it's missing something. Elden Ring had a pretty good story tying everything together with great characters, and a homebase in the roundtable hold. It had a huge sense of mystery too like the other FROMSOFT games. It also did stuff that was different than DS3 but it also re-used tons of assets. In the expansion the Tarnished does not have a homebase it seems? And the only characters are a couple of NPCs that say a few sentences. There is almost no sign of previous friendly Elden characters. Even though the game is impressive the whole franchise is starting to get routine again- I think we may be completely spoiled by what FROMSOFT has accomplished. The environmental design, while intricate are missing unifying themes (this was an issue in a lot of the Elden Ring maps too). The more Souls-type games they create, the harder it'll be to create something new. + The Messmir boss, which is highly touted by their marketing, is well made but not an epically replayable boss like Malenia Blade of Miquella.

I doubt that most of her male fans care about her mumbling about her life- they are just interested in her beauty lol

^ The Hedge Knight is the most simple and straightforward GRRM story- without his usual subversion. The actors have visuably aged by then- Hardy's face has hit the wall lol. This project appears to be somewhat of a vanity project too; I get the impression that Hardy wants it be 'his own' and the best acting he's ever done.

6/19 Various updates: 1. US-NATO is constantly claiming that Russia can produce huge numbers of artillery shells, 3 times that of NATO combined plus they receive "millions" from North Korea every time Putin visits. These claims have been coming from the Pentagon for about 1.5 years but overall there is no evidence on the actual battlefield that Russia is using this ammunition. The numbers claimed are so high that if Russia uses this ammo they can start steamrolling everything again. They simply claim this without providing any shred of evidence- it can be assumed that it is some kind of propaganda/misinformation until the Russians start blowing up entire cities again. If this is not a full-on lie the Russians are storing all this ammo for a future invasion. 2. The area in the Toresk fortified zone appears to be a new active front- the first signs of Russian attacks has started. 3. The Kharkiv' front is being heavily contested by Ukrainian reserves and the city of Vochansk is being fought over. Ukraine is attacking here more than the rest of Ukraine combined. It is obviously very important politically. 4. Ukraine claims of a Oskii river operation in a narrow segment of the Front SW of Svatove. The Russian assault grouping is claimed to be 10,000 men and 250 AFV and 200 artillery systems. Basically this is typical Soviet tactics, advancing to a river, securing a bridgehead and then expanding it. 5. In the Adiivka front Ukraine claims that the Russians have 70,000 men, 310 tanks, 576 AFV engaged 6. Remarkably as this war continues neither side has figured out how to avoid high tank losses- the guided artillery & drones still dominate. The russians launched a local attack with 3 dozen vehicles (tanks + AFV) and lost a bunch for a small track of land gained.

That really sucks unless some sort of turning point happens. My favorite Hardy performance was in his show TABOO but that show seems to be in development hell too.

Erin Moriarty got brigaded by fans who think she did plastic surgery, all over comments sections on youtube I think she got a nose job and lost weight.
