the fact that she doesnt keep trying to invade you on your way to the erd tree is such a missed opportunity. she really seems to be trying real hard to kill you like she said she would.
also obviously a missed opportunity for some kind of interaction for saving her with the frenzied flame but then purging yourself of it
>>714111632 (OP) Melina should have been summoned every time you leveled up as a way to ingratiate her to the player more. At least give her more dialog than just channeling Marika at random churches.
>>714122180 Could have also had her ride on the back of Torrent with the Tarnished when just riding outside of combat, maybe sharing some lore about whatever zone you're in.
>>714125365 That'd be great, but Elden Ring is supposed to be pretty lonely. In another series for sure. I think bringing her up around the bonfires keeps that lonesome feeling without leaving her forgettable.
