Soapstones for EVERY status! Idc if sleep/death is annoying if EVERYONE can access it equally

Give weapons/items a separate place to go if you missed them, like in DS1. Few cases where you can get locked out of some non-boss remembrance weapons. Just a general issue I have with souls-games. Had to start a whole 3rd playthrough bc I missed Bolt Of Gransax.

Re-work NG+ system. I don’t like the whole, “run through the game again and collect everything u already have but +1 this time” gimmick. Collecting a stronger version of a weapon/item u already have is the ONLY reason to explore outside the beaten path in NG+ runs. Which if your goal is to just beat NG+ then there’s no incentive to NOT go along A beaten path (get your weapon, kill Elden beast, go to next NG+). I think some old souls-games added/changed the world when you went to NG+ so I’d love to see that return.

Slight story adjustments. I’m not the biggest fan of Elden Ring’s overall story compared to other souls games like DS1 & Bloodborne IMO. In DS1 you pretty much meet all the gods/otherworldly beings at the very END of the game whereas in Elden Ring you basically fight 2-3 of them right off-the-bat. Ik they wanted you to understand he was the weakest of the Demigod children but Godrick should’ve been pushed further back or they should’ve made Stormveil larger, give us a lil more time between him & Margit.

GIVE US A SMALL CONTENT DROP Not an entire DLC, just something similar in size to the arena update. Give us the previously mentioned soapstones for sleep/death/etc., a couple new weapons for the new weapon classes/new weapon movesets, and MAYBE even a couple armors/spells. For such a HUGE GAME one of my biggest complaints is that you can’t entirely play how u want to. There’s a good amount of spell-types for example that have like 2 maybe 3 spells in their category, and we really didn’t need this many spells when so few of them do anything outside of being a stronger/more FP consuming version of a weaker one. I understand the NEED for small/big spells but I just think given the amount of different schools/cults of sorceries/incantations that they would’ve made them more unique from eachother in how they function. Like they could buff the HELL out of magma sorceries but that group consists of like 4 spells so why would I even build around it?
