Huh? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong one but wasn't that at least sort of a

sort of thing, but I think its worse with Elden Ring as SotE could have dealt with so many mysteries, characters, and had ongoing ramifications or changes (ie what if Miquella succeeded? What if player joined him? To say nothing for all the Godwyn stuff people were thinking was going to be the focus).

It really seems strange in that. In addition to all your mentioned, people were thinking there would be a lot more Miquella stuff, perhaps Ranni stuff (including a way to get her other body back) , GEQ stuff, especially Melina stuff and the potential to keep her alive without the Frenzied Flame ending setup, a whole fuckload of Godwyn stuff, and many more potential endings, paths and stuf that could happen based on the players' choice... but we seemingly got very little of that. There was so much to explore and new paths but we didn't get anything. Also I remember one thing that people were almost clambering
>Maidenless / alternate maiden / alternate mount mode.
Basically a story play-out for a "hard mode", if you chose not to make the pact with Melina and go on without being able to level up or use Torrent yet. But there was no other path like this , you just got to a part you couldn't progress despite the "option" to not make the deal etc. Such a wasted opportunity to tell another story and add another challenge/mode of play atop it.
