ok we need to talk about the writing

[SewnTogether]

it really does feel like the dlc story was written by a separate team all together the only thing thats giving plausibility to the story is malenia's words to radahn that Miquella awaits for him to be consort but we never actually heard anything. she couldve said literally anything the writers wanted to fit the direction the dlc went. the whole "bewitch mohg, my half brother, to kidnap and molest me so someone kills him and i can use his body as a vessel for radahns soul" is just crackpipe level writing and doesnt fit Miquella at all. The Haligtree is a testament to his kindness and selflessness and the DLC takes such a monumental, physically traversable proof of character and throws it out the window due to his actions. Mohg, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mohg was perfect. he was evil, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, a really good villain and they just took all the weight out of his actions and character. just everything about the writing in this dlc makes me so frustrated. really the only good parts are the bite sized side quests of ansbach, thiolier and ighor plus the insanely satisfying overarching narratives of messmer and marika. also messmer's VA change makes me want to ball up and start crying he sounds so bad and dead inside comared to the trailer

To this day I still have no clue what is going on in the game and the DLC only added to my confusion. So 10/10
