Replaying it right now. There's too much to bother with. It's not just the bloated open world and bad loot (actual dogshit outclassed by things earlier in the game not just things that don't fit my build), most legacy dungeons are littered with incredibly boring minibosses and tanky enemies with rewards so bad it pretty much incentivizes you to run past them instead of jumping through their hoops. The DLC gives you enough power creeping equipment for free to ignore just about every single one of these encounters without missing out on anything but that's not to say it doesn't also suffer from the same issues. You can trace some of this back to DS3 which makes it really impressive how Mike Wazowski was able to fuck it up even more.
Also fuck torrent I hope Demon's Souls 7 and 8 don't have anything like it
