Where does the story go from here?

[Necrophoria]

Yes yes. I know FromSoft already stated this will be the only DLC for this game. . . But that's the thing, FOR THIS GAME.

There's still so many questions about the lore and setting which are unanswered. I still remember how we didn't get an answer regarding the "furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten" until Dark Souls 3 back when they merely named it in the opening cinematic for the first game.

Do you guys think the same will happen here as far as the god of rot, the eldrich/cosmic beings involving Nokron, etc?

FromSoft has done this before, leaving breadcrumbs for later content. They did it for this DLC with a certain saint (avoiding spoilers), so I can definitely see the current breadcrumbs essentially being DLC bait.

Anybody feel the same? What would you like to see answered in a later installment which was only hinted at so far?

its already end, you need wait 5 year for next best thing.

You've murder hoboed your way through and killed everything killable. There is literally no one left other than your 4 armed blue doll waifu. There are no characters left to make any meaningful story. We found out marika was just a twisted revenge story in an endless revenge cycle.

Like what is left to explore and explain

A lot of us thought Dark Souls ended with Gwyn. . . Just saying.

I named a couple. The rot god and Astel (along with any other cosmic creature). . . Hell there's literal monsters falling from the sky, and you're saying we've covered everything?

Also, the Godwyn is still alive. . . Kinda. His body is. There's something to work with there too.

I'm not sure there is a pump powerful enough to re-inflate the poor thing.

What's up with Melina and the Gloam eyed queen? Who exactly was placidusax waiting for/the god before Marika? Why exactly did Marika banish Godefroy? What was Marika's role in the night of black knives? Why were there numen involved in the form of black knife assassins? Why did the black knife assassins turn on Ranni after helping her?

[Sifer2]

Well depending on the ending they run with there is more to work with. If the player chose the Frenzy Flame ending then you have Punished Melina swearing revenge. lol

They also weirdly didn't really kill off Tanith.

[Action Man]

I'd say there's a 50/50 chance of us getting another DLC. Either we will, or we won't.

FromSoft never really answers all questions. They leave enough information for those that want to hunt it down. Then the individual draws their own conclusions.

Ah forgot those too. The gloam eyed queen and the god slayers, Godfrey's banishment/removal from grace,

There's definitely enough unanswered questions to merit a sequel.

They could also do what they did to demons souls and leave things unanswered until a later game. The land of the giants and the broken stone left folks like me wanting giant fights, but we didn't get that officially until dark souls 2.

Nowhere. it was never going anywhere.

To recap you as a Tarnished have killed every important character in the Land of Shadows because ???. You prevented Miquella from ???, and so now thanks of you the world is ???, and the people in it are ??? about it.

Congratulations?

Not to this degree, I know why I linked the fire, I know why I sat on the Throne, I know why I let the Age of Fire end and I know why I had to kill Friede and Gael.

I have no f°cking idea what I've even accomplished in the Land of Shadows.
