This, rather insert myself in that tight fleshy hole than some husky porcelain doll.
Well that won't happen, instead you'll be mindbroken and become a lump of meat that accepts wiener in your ass and mouth for eternity.
Eternally young bussy or a busted up doll. What a hard choice.
well im not gay and i dont like sex dolls so i pick, madness ending
madness chads can't stop winning
This is what they meant by no maidens
Ranni mogs MIquella, so Ranni.
>Miquella is a bleeding heart moralgay
>Ranni is a facts & logic fedora tipper
Just thought them both into Mount Doom at this point
I was genuinely disappointed that Ranni had zero appearances in the DLC. Her stepbrother was out there plotting to achieve godhood and Miyazaki didn't have the forethought to plan an interaction or an extended questline for Ranni?
"Ah, yeah, Ranni's stepbrother and her actual older brother are involved in the story for DLC. There's also this questline where you become a consort for Ranni - what do we think if we expand on that narrative angle and work something cool for the story or the final battle? Maybe have Ranni in the final battle in some consort duel for godhood or something akin to that?"
*Miyazaki hits blunt and scratches his ass* "Naw, frick that shit. Let's just put a bunch of golden toothpicks with a little flavor text."
That's always been the weak point of Fromsoft games, there's very little character interactions.
that would involve them actually writing a story
Ironically the DLC went a ways towards fixing this.
If you summon Ansbach and Thiollier for the gank squad fight the characters will actaully talk a bit with eachother.
Hell the later parts of SoE has a bunch of npc summons interacting to shit.
Igon going full ahab is a treat.
>no Ranni dialogue
>no new Malenia interactions if you killed her brother
>no mention of Godwyn whatsoever despite the DLC being set up almost perfectly for him
>get Radahn instead and he doesn't even say shit, just a fricking meatpuppet hurtbox
this DLC was insanely disappointing lorewise, there's just nothing there
>get Radahn instead and he doesn't even say shit, just a fricking meatpuppet hurtbox
This one is some bullshit too. In the ripped text data there was a bunch of unused text for Radahn
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ividyon/Impalers-Archive/main/Master.html
No Ranni, No Melina, No Gloam-Eyed Queen, we never see prime Marika or Radagon etc.
It's genuinely shit and a disappointment.
They already said it wouldn't use characters from the base game or alter it in any way.
The only returning ones are radahn and mohg and they don't even talk for very obvious reasons.
>They already said it wouldn't use characters from the base game or alter it in any way.
Prime Radahn is literally the final boss you fricking idiot, so they lied.
It's not even prime radahn, he just being Miquella's frickpuppet.
Also prime radahn is just 25% of the fight which is what's actually disappointing there.
It's not even prime Radahn. It's just a Radahn shaped zombie onahole made from Mohg
and people actually argue Miquella isn't the one laying pipe.
It makes me believe he got addicted to Mohg wiener and wouldn't settle for anything else.
Then why turn him into a mindless lump of frickmeat?
>keep the wiener
>change everything else
If it works, it works.
The only issue I have is why the frick Radahn?
There's zero mention or interaction between Radahn and Miquella in the entirety of the base game, not even a hint.
This shit came out of nowhere and I fricking hate how this is becoming a trend with the DLCS since DkS3.
Loose plot holes and soft retcons that the *lore people* keep acting like it's always been the plan. It's pathetic, much like them.
>wouldn't use characters from the base game or alter it in any way
fricking moronic, they should've at least had the decency to put in a new ending
the Radahn twist was fricking stupid and it should've genuinely been Godwyn, he fits a million times better and still ticks literally every box while being a better indication of "the perfect consort" for Miquella considering how he's talked about plus trying to bring him back would actually be a challenge
not to mention just the fact that they literally just remade some of Radahn's assets for weapons and armor then threw new AoW on them is a slap in the face, what a goddamn missed opportunity
What's stopping them from making a second DLC?
miyazaki saying they wouldnt
2 year dev cycle and couldn't be arsed to get any of the original VA's back to record some extra dialogue.
>DS3 is so shit bros where is the Londor DLC we were promised
time is a flat circle
Couldn't even fix most of the endings being different flavors of sitting on a fricking chair.
Yeah and it only took them 15 years, 7 games and 8 DLC's to do so. ffs glaciers move faster than miyazaki when it comes to implementing new features.
was unironically hoping we'd get a Miquella ending considering how many of them are just different colors of sitting on a chair, how damn hard would it have been for them to just have his actress record some lines for another ending color
>his actress

>Who do you choose?
1000 year rule guided by chaos
Wisdom. Because someone with true wisdom would also have compassion. As ruling through compassion is easier and more efficient than ruling through fear.
Someone with just compassion would be quickly deposed.
You couldn't even get to the throne without being a ruthless opportunist, every compassionate leader became compassionate only after taking the lead by force
>Because someone with true wisdom would also have compassion
>compassinately kills Godwyn for her own selfish goals
Ah, yes, so much compassion.
>selfish
she SAVED the world from outer gods ruining it
Didn't that just open the door for the moon god?
Explain how the described as uncaring and cold moon god can intefere in the lands between without Ranni being in the lands between.
We really don't know if it could but her ending is definitely not better just because she abandoned everything to its fate.
>ill continue to say she SAVED the world by kicking them all out
she saved everyone by leaving everything as it was and fixing nothing?
>she saved everyone by leaving everything as it was and fixing nothing?
The world is fine, a fine young man even can start a boiled crab business and people are kvetching about the world ending.
That Thug is literally turning his life around and you think it's all hopeless!? Shame on you, you fricking cowards.
>Buy some prawn from a random stranger in Elden Ring
>He helps you defeat a giant dragon in a mountain
Kindness still exists in the Lands Between. I don't get what all these npcs in the world are complaining about.
>by leaving everything as it was and fixing nothing?
>erdtree burns to its death with destined death
>no more control by the great will
>people can just now happily murder each other and die but without using the gw as an excuse for it
It's a net positive.
So just let Godwyn's shit spread and that's better?
Of course.
Destined death + Ranni's ending takes care of that. No more zombies due to ring bullshit.
Well, zombies is not the only problem the lands between has but whatever, not like we'll have a better ending than Goldmask
>she saved everyone by leaving everything as it was and fixing nothing?
yes. it's not like you fix much in the other endings anyways. none of the endings offer a solution to:
>frenzied flame subverting the populace
>formless mother subverting the populace
>blood star subverting the populace
>fell god subverting the populace
>scarlet rot spreading rot everywhere
>prince of death godwyn spreading everywhere
all endings just give the potential for things to be better, not automatically fix everything.
except chaos, chaos technically fixes everything
>not automatically fix everything.
obviously it was never a matter of snapping your finger and unfrick everything in a matter of seconds but fricking off and wait for everything to just snap back into place on it's own is a terrible plan.
Just put Nepheli in charge with her loyal retainers Kenneth and Gostoc, problem solved.
You did put Nepheli in charge, right?
I turned her into a summon.
I didn't do that.
we still dont have any actual proof that the dark moon is a god. moons in general could be more like the primeval current, natural forces and objects without will. rennala saw a full moon, rellana saw a twin moon, and ranni saw a dark moon, but that doesnt mean there's a bunch of moon gods running around.
ymir even expands on this in his headgear desc. he just calls the moon the "closest celestial object", he doesnt seem to think its a god at all.
in other words, until we see proof that ranni handed over the world to another god, ill continue to say she SAVED the world by kicking them all out
there is no moon god
>compassinately kills Godwyn for her own selfish goals
and miquella compassionately abandoned St. Trina along with basically everyone who helped him?
Why are you talking about Miquella? I never mentioned him, I was talking about Ranni's supposed "compassion"
why can't I choose to let miquella rule as a god? why do i have to stop him?
He's a homosexual.
That would be lorewise by not fighting him or by letting him charm you
1000 year rule guided by deez nuts
Dolls are gross and femboys are worse. I would chose to end the world in flame.

chaos ending is universal deletion
I know. I die, I kill everything, Melina kills the chaos demon bursting out of my body.

i wish the DLC gave us something about this version of Melina
The one that's not a woman.
>Chaos vs. Law Fromsoft edition
Ideally I'd be taking both of them as wives and ushering in the neutralchad route
No, chaos is
Ranni is the

camp, which is neutral as frick.
then I shall be taking Ranni's route with Miquella as the sidepiece, frick it
Miquella only wants radhan's wiener inside him, or his wiener inside radhan's, hard to know here.
ranni is the return of the moon god.
>return
Ranni would become the main vessel for the moon god.
And she fricks off precisely to avoid this.
>kill brother, causes effectively a bioweapon to rot the world
>kill all your most loyal retainers
>lave
"neutral"
Fixing the elden ring and installing destined death back into it, provided you don't add Fia's mending rune, will presumably kill Godwyn for real.
The Black Knives are not loyal to Ranni. Alecto's evergael being in Carian territory suggests they broke ties.
>actually not to blame for this, shouldn't have buried him in the fricking roots of the tree, fire will eventually kill his body anyway after the ending
>didn't do it
No, ranni is kinda evil, but not fully evil.
>destroying everything is the chaos ending
no? that's the nothing ending. Even demons know that ending is fricking stupid
1000 years seems quite short since they are immortal. does that mean the GW only checks on TLB once every 1000 years?
It's just an idiomatic way of saying a really really long time. The the Tennoh Heika Banzai cheer they used to do for the Emperor of Japan didn't literally mean he was going to rule 1,000 years, just that his rule would be long.
Marika

i wanna sex the blue doll thoughbeit
Actually Miquella specifically promised a "1000 year voyage guided by compassion" which sounds way easier than a 1000 year rule so I'll go with that. Radahn will probably take care of anything too difficult.
Neither. I choose the eternal
Miquella is full of shit
He discarded Trina and his love any compassion he's offering is nominal at best
ranni all the way, removing the influence of the outer gods is the closest thing this game will ever get to a happy end
Find yourself maidenless?
Off to Liurnia with you then!
Meet me at the Rose Church
Miquella is actually satan. His "age of compassion" is just everyone being mind controlled so there's no conflict because nobody has free will
>B-B-Bussy and the Doll

Was pretty disappointed you didn't get any kind of extra interactions with Mirda if you had the frenzy flame in you.
Overall that kind of sloppiness seems common in the DLC. That and really spare over world, I would find dungeons constantly in the base game, the entire southern area in the DLC felt like a whole lot of nothing.
*sparse
>I would find dungeons constantly in the base game
First they complain that dungeons are too samey
Then Fromsoft takes the hint and makes dungeons a lot less samey at the expense of making them sparser, and they still complain
Its cleasr anon wants the same amount of dungeons from the base game but the amount of uniqueness from the DLC.
I'm more upset the Land of Shadows looks just like Limgrave + Altus 2.0
Did you get past the second zone yet?
not yet
It gets better and if you want a change of scenery head along the south road from the Castle Front Grance.
>First they complain that dungeons are too samey
I've never made that complaint myself and was my favorite part about the base game. I'd explore, see a nook that looked suspicious and it was actually something.
The DLC has so many empty cliffs and chasms it's baffling why they even exist.
Look at the bottom part of this map, there's jack shit compared to the top and the top still feels sparse because a lot of that density is actually spread over verticality.
What did you anons think about the misbegotten Vergil anyway?
I was laughing my ass off fighting him as a summon.
stunlocked him to death. was funny constantly hearing him cry out
This is unrelated, but sometimes I forget that NPC body bosses still count as player characters and can be backstabbed. It really made certain fights harder than they needed to be.
What's D's opinion on bussy?
that it's not gay as long as it's your twin that you share a soul with
My cute little sister of course
>Left: literal who trash you killed like a dog in the DLC
>Right: your waifu who has the best ending, and whose route the majority of players choose
Easiest choice of my life
So was the leak about multiple DLC endings true or not?
Do you just murder Miquella with no dialogue? If so that's kinda funny.
Miquella has dialogue and after you murder him you get a short cutscene showing all he did was to frick Radahn.
What a gay. Lol at Radahn gays too. Imagine your big bara hero being a slave to shota wiener.
Meanwhile canon Tarnished just smokes the gays and fricks his doll wife.
To say nothing of all the other women lusting over him.
>To say nothing of all the other women lusting over him.
They are all dead, anon.
except ranni, all your potential waifus are dead, well except Rya but she went on a "self discovery journey" (this means taking miles of wiener in girl speak).
>They are all dead, anon.
Which makes them pure.
>Mentor Waifu
Boxed, can't betray you
>Rot waifu
Killed herself before she could become a fujo. Killed her sister's for good measure.
>Spirit Waifu
Burned
>Melina
Also burned
And so on and so forth.
There is no multiple ending in the DLC, as Miyazaki said, the DLC will not alter the story of the base game in any way, Miquella is only shown at the very end, you fight against him and his puppet Radahn, he dies, without even any parting words, the end.
Dont you get a cutscene with Miquella saying some shit if you revisit it?
You get a memory cutscene of Miq kneeling next to a chair in a poorly lit area reminding Radahn of the promise to be his consort before everything fades.
That's it, it's almost like a dying dream of a jobber.
>who has the best ending
lol
>perfect Golden Order without demigod nonsense
vs
>israelite trickery
Kind of funny that Goldmask looks like what a mortal worshipper of the bottom would wear.
How about the Miquella fanclub, do they care at all that you murder the frick out of him? Or do they take turns invading you and dying like b***hes leading up to the final boss?
>How about the Miquella fanclub, do they care at all that you murder the frick out of him? Or do they take turns invading you and dying like b***hes leading up to the final boss?
Depending on if you bothered to do the questlines you either have to deal with a gank squad of them or get a 3v4 (4v4 if you use spirit ash) against them and two summons for the final fight.
lol?
Its pretty fricking kino having an all out brawl.
Is this an allegory for the fanbase or fans in general?
Just breasts vs Ass killing each other in the ruins of some burnt out city?
Yeah that shit was actually pretty cool and you get a very nice sword out of it. The next battle is the Radahn bullshit and sours what had been a really good time.
Choices and consequences?
Kino.
Technically their a a few variations of it.
So far I know there is a 1v3, 2v3, 3v3, 1v4, 2v4, and 3v4, (plus summon) ways the fight can go and its likely you can get it down to a 1v2 or 2v2 depending on your choices.
Plus your guys and their guys actualy have some dialogue with each other during the fight.
2v2 for me
Cool did you kill Freyja or just not do the quest.
It was a 2v3 for me
some literally who sanguine noble. The shield guy attacked me since I killed the kindred of rot
The Shield guy will typically be in the fight unless you say to be sad forever in which case he will just kill himself.
Ansbach is a bro if you do his questline and the one you missed is the poison guy related to the Saint Trina quest.
>The Shield guy will typically be in the fight unless you say to be sad forever in which case he will just kill himself.
Moore invades you if you kill the non-hostle kindreds of rot.
Ansbach is a gigachad and absolute bro, his questline is worth it just because of that
wanted to use the summons for the last boss but they spike his health bar like fricking crazy and make some of his attacks literal oneshots if you don't have every blessing you could possibly have scraped up so I decided to skip on them
>willingly become a puppet of the thing that tried to get you killed
>accept trannies as good
lmao what a cuck
You have to be on some kind of grand level of copium to consider Goldmask's ending to be the best.
>fixes the biggest problem in the land between
>I just want to be a slave eternally in an unchanging, stagnating world because it makes me feel good
>the world is stagnating because the laws of the universe can't change on the whims of a few emotionally stunted morons
boy I sure love a zombie plague suddenly appearing because of some gay family drama
Nnooooo you don't understand if the gods can't frick with the laws of reality all willy nilly that's like fecking le bad.
But their waifu is a god who can do no wrong so it'll be different this time!
Just kill everyone by burning the world and everyone in it to ash. That's much better.
what proof do we have that miquella is even good?
literal cult like shit where their citizens turn into eggs
He's not. A bunch of his companions snap out of it when he dies the first time and start talking about how they were manipulated and used. The volcano manor companion talks about how kind Mohg was to Miquellaband how despite everything Mohg did for him BEFORE being brainwashed Miquella still brainwashes him uses him like a slave, intentionally gets Mohg killed, all because he wants to use Mohg's body to make his Radahn sextoy.
All his talk of love and compassion is, is that everyone obeys him and gets a merciful death so that he can become a god and frick his brother for eternity.
I choose neither and burn it all down. Nothing in The Lands Between deserves to live. Frick that place.
>Ranni zooms in with a sensual gaze while Miquella can't even be bothered to look you in the eye (the sign of a manipulative liar)
Even the bots know
my wife is fricking dead
>he doesn't know
If you invade her she blooms again and turns into a valkyrie. You didn't actually side with her and let her die did you?

didn't even start on the upper part of the map where there are just literally more copy-pasted tree sentinels just hanging out, they didn't even bother to recolor them or something
Does Rellana have a cute face or just sexy body?
I love how the DLC makes Ranni the troony also moronic
>The stars will keep us away from the great will!
>Great Will: LOL you fricking idiot, I'm everything!
explain further?
NTA but right now it seems like the greater will is either a metaphor for the dark of space everything came from or is the literal embodiment of the dark of space as a cosmic entity.
ranni was right
Has she ever been wrong?
justice for Godwyn
forced waifu and a bad one at that
Except she wasn't, Great Will gonna ass rape this stupid prostitute.
That's what her Lord of Night, (You), is for. As her husband it's only right that you protect her from malevolent deities.
pff he wont protect shit, he realized in this dlc that she is a dumb b***h
I chose Fia's ending and I'll choose it again.
Flying T-pose skeletons are funny. So are skull snails.
god damn I am so fricking sick of seeing AI images, stick to you containment thread homosexual
I am loyal to my cute blue dollwife.
False dichotomy. Compassion is wisdom.
Miquella as long as I get to be consort. If he wants to frick around with other men then I’ll kill both of them
>Sitting on your ass ending is the best ending because you directly talk with the great will and can fix all this shit
Amazing, bravo, extremely brave
The frenzied flame
>Who do you choose?
Well, I'm a simple man so...
Think of how she treated Godfrey.
Think of how she treated Radagon.
Think of how she treated Morgott, Mohg, Malenia, Miquella, Messmer, and all of her other children.
Now think of how she would treat you and your children.
Knowing this, would you still choose Marika?
>See how Ranni, Miquella and the Three Fingers treat others.
Don't really have much other decent choices.
>Think of how she treated Godfrey.
>Think of how she treated Radagon.
>Think of how she treated Morgott, Mohg, Malenia, Miquella, Messmer, and all of her other children.
Well, as Tarnished I treated them much, much worse than Marika
>Now think of how she would treat you and your children.
I achieved more than any other character in this world, I wouldn't take shit from Marika and she would get corrected any time she tried her shit + I would go Perfect Order route because I believe my homie Goldmask
What choice?
Miquella doesn't even provide an alternative ending you can choose besides dying to an attack and pretending.
He's set up as modern gaming's personification of the selfish gay celebrity weirdo gaslighting everyone into being his b***h on the basis of "the greater good", with the vulnerable being his first targets.
It's amazing how the usual suspects havent even started calling Michael Zaki out for doing this in the middle of THIS month.
The average player is likely not going to reach Radahn for another 2 days let alone the kinds of people who would complain about this stuff.
how do you think ranni would respond to getting cucked? i mean her dad running off to marry another woman completely destroyed her happy family. her mom catatonic, one of her brothers running off to simp for the enemy, the other one engaging in hardcore blasphemy. surely such a thing would be one of the few things that could truly make her go nuclear? what would the punishment be? murder? murder suicide? torture? rape correction? just imagine the consequences...
definitely not miquella. very original miyazaki
Wisdom will always be compassionate, but compassion will not always be wise.
Stop being antisemetic
OY
INT has the best coolest bosess, best armor sets and best girls in Elden Ring, therefore I go with Ranni.
>redhead
>fights alongside you
>would be loyal
>is not a filthy fujo
She is literally a 腐女子
>1,000 year rule
And then what?
The thousand year reich.
as of the DLC, Ranni literally fricked up everything for zero reason
it's rule by woman moment
1000 year sleep
Compassion. Ranni is a autist.
I for one pick the Sun. Frick Lunar deities.
Bloodborne 2...please...my energy is waning...not much more time...
Miquella isn't a choice. Your only real choices are Marika, Ranni, or burn it all down. Melina doesn't give a frick if you choose Marika or Ranni, but if you burn it all down, she'll dedicate herself to killing you.
Is there even a new ending or no?
Compassion and ethics are subjective. A wise person would realize that. Also, four hands
