I loved my playthrough of Elden Ring - and I'm happy I got to play it at launch and participate in the zeitgeist and discovery of it at the point where the wikis weren't even populated etc - but I'm not super keen to play the DLC. Finishing the game was definitely a little more of a relief that it was over than I would have hoped to feel. It didn't help that the last boss is terrible, so the game kind of ends on a sour note.
Also, FromSoft DLCs are always much harder than the base game. I already didn't enjoy what they did with Malenia, if they try to top her in the DLC I honestly just can't see myself having any fun.
EDIT: spelling
As someone currently slogging through dark souls 2, that second paragraph is giving me PTSD.
The Dark Souls 2 DLCs are some of the best content in all of Souls. While the original game has some level design issues, the DLCs are sublime.
Counterpoint: the run back to blue smelter demon and the run back to sir alonne.
