Sadly yeah DS3 done too much of that and not in a good way. I do appreciate how DS3 closes up a lot of loose ends or more, the ambiguity from DS1. So many people still don't get the basic premise of life/death, rebirth, how the Age of Dark is natural and necessary, and how Gwyn was very anxious of the unknown, and rekindling the fire is what fucks everything up more and more over time (hence the Dreg Heap). A good detail of 3 too is how the Soul of Cinder is not only your past characters and the previous Lords before (as everyone rightfully picked up on), but seemingly very very few people then asked, why are they attacking you? You're there to presumably relight the flame as they had all done. However, it's seemingly their regrets, they only see the mistake of relighting fire after they sacrifice themselves for it, so they try to stop you doing the same.
But anyway, yeah there was too much unnecessary and arbitrary DS1 pulls into DS3. Like the original Firelink Shrine being in the Demon Prince arena. Why? There are other examples I'm forgetting, some are good and I appreciated (like Quelaana eventually going against her word and dying together with the Fair Lady, of both I really liked in DS1, I always join her covenant), but yeah some other unnecessary shit on the other hand. At least it's a sequel to DS1 unlike DS2, of which DS2 is a sorry abortion.
