Caelid, other than your first playthru, it feels like the least developed of the BIG THREE
My god Liurnia, Limgrave, and Caelid really were the best first 40 to 50 levels of a game I'd played in a long time. I think most agree there is a lagging middle, Altus Plateau and Gelmir have many missable quests that can be tricky in the midgame to remember; but up until Leyndel I consider the game near flawless.
Farum Azula and Haligtree, and the Bosses are all still excellent, but snowfields and mountaintops I increasingly skip thru as much as possible.
The DLC is interesting because I frankly think it deducts from a really solid level 1 to 150 experience. Scadu is fine, the implementation and obtainment of them not so. Most new enemies are poise tanks, although the most frequent enemy you find is just a dark reskin of a base game grunt. I really don't feel filtered by the new bosses or enemies, I beat them all, sometimes after getting two shot or a bad roll - but SOTE's additions were the most unfun gaming I'd had all Elden Ring. And they EAT UP multiplayer summons so it basically ruined online too. Also your scadu level doesnt carry over in multiplayer, you are always level 1 scadu, so have fun getting summoned and being two shot anyway
Fucking love these games.
