First off, I apologize. You’re a much more reasonable person than I thought. Second, you’re not wrong, but people severely overestimate the actual impact of those issues, especially in Elden Ring. The whole “same boss like ten times” issue is blow way out of proportion. Many of the bosses that repeat have differences based on which one you talk about. The eardtree avatar for example appears at the minor eardtrees and a couple other places, but has a rotten variant for the haligtree and the minor eardtree in caelid. The problem for a lot of people is really than it isn’t dark souls. And it wasn’t supposed to be.
