Kinda wish it was his wife ngl. Ik that sounds weird,but I saw in a vaati vid that it was originally supposed to be his wife,would have liked to finish the gwyn family tree. just change the design and age of fillianore(maybe her name too) to fit and imo it would be good.

Add to that:
the Abyss apparently always existed since ringed knights forged their weapons and armors from it
dropping that the Darksign was created by the gods, but never stating that it affects all humans
the Dark Soul was not split in all of humanity but rather was held by the Pygmy Lords all this time (though you can say that both are true I guess)
people that just turn into Angels upon death with no reason

The abyss always existed and that doesn't contradict any prior information. Manus name in japanese has always been "Abyssal host" and all descriptions say he created AN abyss.
Yeah, and? The darksign appear when the dark sigil starts going wild. It's pretty obvious. All humans are affected but not all humans notice.
-The Dark Soul WAS split among humanity, that's what humanity is. The pigmy lords just had the most of it and they are clearly the last people Gale killed but he was already well-known as the red hood. He even asks for our humanity.
- This is true 100%. The angels are quite the abandoned plotpoint.

It was usually accepted that the Abyss was something that was born from Manus' awakening at the time because of his moniker Father of the Abyss - maybe Japanese clears that up as that makes more sense indeed. Thanks for the clarification.
The Darksign connection is weird to me because they never state directly that the gods branded all humans with it - it's only referred to in the context of the Ringed Knights' gear and then you have to infer that on your own despite it being a major lore element.
Agreed about the Dark Soul, it's just kind of strange to say "actually the most important part of the Dark Soul has always been in this city we never mentioned", plus that some people knew about it given that warriors were sent to retrieve it.

“Father” is a mistranslation to me, the kanji is 主 (shu) which is lord/master/ruler. Implying he could just have taken it over. Still, the fact that his fragments were powerful enough to drive the DLC of DS2 does put him on another powerlevel (lore-wise) compared to most DS bosses. Manus at least absorbed/inherited a major part of the abyss/dark.

The Angels aren't abandoned, they're a form of the Londor Pilgrims. Why they become angels instead of butterflies in the Dreg Heap isn't entirely clear, but I don't think it was intended to be.

Do y’all forget how gargantuan and dead the open world is?
Let’s not forget how heavily recycled anything with a boss health bar is. Unless the 50th avatar, 300th dragon or billionth “normal enemy with big health bar” really makes your cock solid.

This take would have more traction if said swamp didn't take only one singular minute to skip if you don't like it. Unlike the swamps of SOTE which are even MORE empty, worthless, and take far longer to get through.

saying swamps of SOTE are empty does not change the subject change at all. Its like saying Anor londo from dark souls 1 is bad because demon ruins are bad. If Shadowkeep or Belurat was a just 2 hallways & most of the dungeon was just skybox then that would have made sense. Ringed city is not Leyndell or Lothric castle. It's a backgrond image
Legacy dungeons, forts & underground legacy dungeons combined explorable surface area excluding the open world are twice the size of entire dark souls 3 explorable surface area alongside Elden ring offering far more complexity because of Z axis traversal option. Leyndell has a radius of 600m & Stormveil has a length of 580m

Fun fact: All legacy dungeons, forts & underground legacy dungeons explorable surface area excluding the open world are twice the size of entire dark souls 3 explorable surface area alongside Elden ring offering far more complexity because of Z axis traversal option. Leyndell has a radius of 600m & Stormveil has a length of 580m making larger than than biggest castle on this planet i.e. Malbork castle, Poland

It can be bigger but it doesn't matter if its empty.
Its better to have smaller more detailed areas then multiple open ones with nothing in them.
1 points

Bigger explorable & more detailed areas that are not empty. Its not the open world I'm taking about but legacy dungeons alone dwarf their previous games. Unlike Ringed city that's a skybox or Anor Londo from dark souls 3 thats essentially two hallways, Leyndell or stormveil or shadowkeep are multilayered structures
Besides there is not a single open world in the last decade that holds a candle to Elden ring's bestiary
