These awful item pickups discourage exploration

[Space Dust]

Who was put in charge of these item pickups? If I wasn't a completionist, I wouldn't bother with searching every nook and cranny just to be rewarded with Glovewort +2s and Deep Purple Lilies.

Seriously. This almost feels like a bug. These item pickups are dung.

The art design in these modern games seems to think a nice vista is a good enough reward for getting somewhere. It's not, that's what IRL hiking is for. I'm playing a video game and the reward needs to be functional, the nice vista is a bonus.

And I know I've already beat this dead horse, BUT WHAT THE ACTUAL ♥♥♥♥?!

The chest reward for defeating the mini-boss in Fog Rift Fort is... Smithing Stone +7?!

That's all anyone ever does, you're supposed to realize everything you read is an opinion.

I know this DLC hasn't been in development since Elden Ring released, but the people at FromSoftware should have given it more polish. This DLC feels so rushed.

It doesn't feel specialy rushed, but it really feels like they didn't know on which leg to stand regarding when you are supposed to be there.
Most of the pick-ups are pretty trash, which is a net contrast with previous DLCs that would pretty much always shower you with end-game ressources as their "filling" pick-ups lying around.
It's even stingy with DLC consummables as misselenious pick-ups, which I don't understand why, if you want people to craft and use the DLC items maybe give them a few every once in a while to have a go at it, not just 1 free sample in the whole expansion...

100%, the rewards for exploring is painful, maybe the devs actually thought we'd be excited picking up scadu frags lol.
