Unifnished concent pulled from original Elden Ring.
ER was at best 60% finished when it was released.
They only got most of the areas done, just the bare mapwork and a few scripts but as you've noticed they're completely empty. The commet event was also completely botched and then removed. Every major bossfight is half-baked and unfinished. Every NPC quest (what little there is) is also completely unfinished. What NPCs and their quests we got was only a half at best. Anyway the whole game was supposed to be super interconnected with dynamic events and shit that changes the map, tons of unique NPCs and an absurd amount of new mechanics. Instead we got whatever brainless souls mobs they had finished just randomly copy-pasted in map editor on 20% finished maps.
You ever wondered why the fuck your character just spawns in a random ass chapel? Or why Godfrey supposedly one of the most important NPCs just shows up at the end without context and talks to you as if you've known each other? The WHOLE GAME IS LIKE THAT.
- ALL DLC content was supposed to be in the main game all of it but that's old news.
- IIRC atop each of the towers you would've been able to call down meteorites to fuck up the corresponding area like how you open up the underground in the final game. The flailing beasts from meteorites was a leftover from that mechanic. In the final game all the areas are already in their destroyed version, with all the giant tombstones being toppled over and forming platforms or the Stormveil tower bridge being broken while it was shown intact in old footage.
