Any info on Melina/Frenzy impacting the DLC?

[Drax]

The character I intend to use has been touched by the fingers which Melina isn't a huge fan of. In the base game, Melina gives lore at certain graces and I don't really want to miss on that for the DLC.

I could just go into NG+ but I won't bother if I don't need to. So anything confirmed about it?

Nothing to do with main story as far as I know.

im not sure whats your problem right now?
if you want remove frency curse go with millicent questline get the needle and remove it at farum azula.
I for my part im currious if mikaelas needle and the ember shard can be of any use in the dlc

Not yet, so i wouldn't bother doing anything unless it's confirmed otherwise.

this is a really good question and one can easily imagine the DLC lore to include stuff about Melina

however, to get to Mohg, a lot of people will already have killed her, but it's also pretty easy to use Varre's quest early, so the DLC will at least need to account for her being alive or dead and have both tracks well made. if the Melina=dead track is made well, then Melina=mad can easily be written to just treat her the same way and still give you a good experience even if they don't go all the way and have some satisfying track just for people who got fingered

the chance of Melina=mad causing a problem, then, seems pretty small

Removing frenzy does not make Melina return to the player character. She's still pissed at you for going Frenzy. If I were to cure myself and go to a church with some Marika lore, I wouldn't be able to hear it via Melina. That's my concern for the upcoming DLC.

Good point. Didn't consider how many have likely burned the Erd Tree in preparation so they will have probably planned for this. I'm still going to cure myself and recommend everyone else with Frenzy does the same in case there's any DLC specific endings but, if there is Melina lore I'm missing out on, I'm just going to hope that saving Melina might have it's own benefits.
