>>505997934It's not that you can't actually. You just hunt down whomever is a potential threat. The dlc specifically tells you you're there because marika sent you there to kill him. Miquella himself explicitly says this. Leda does too. Do you know why the story was shit? As someone who ISNT a retarded Miquella simp.
It's out of nowhere. Literally nowhere. Nothing related to what was built up in the base game was paid off, not godwyn, not gloam eyed queen, not the lord of storms, literally nothing. Instead we were inserted into retconland. A land where miquella only used malenia as an attack dog. A land where miquella, despite the base game having him only show interest in godwyn, pull radahn out of his ass. A land where rennala's TWO MOONS OC DONUT STEEL groomer sister is there simping for her sisters ex's son. A land where radahns entire backstory is now "I don't wanna be raped noooo-ack" where the selling point of this game. And I need you to understand this, one of the earliest things shown about this game, the battle of aeonia, turning out to be malenia, in her best christ redfield impression going "RADAHN YOU HAVE TO FUCK MY BROTHER RADAAAHN MIQUELLA IS DEPRESSED BECAUSE YOU WONT MARRY HIM RADAHN THE HALIGTREE IS GOING TO SHIT, THERES ROT EVERYWHERE, OUR SOLDIERS ARE BLOWING THEMSELVES UP, THERES ANTS, GIANT FUCKING ANTS AT THE ENTRANCE, RADAAHN THERES BUGMEN THEYRE ALL OVER OUR LAKES AND CHAPELS THEY KEEP CALLING ME GODDESS RADAHN HELP" then exploding.
It took the intrigue with the outer gods like the frenzy flame, and showed they're all just jobbers with you literally being the only competent follower of it ever.
They took the mystery behind ranni and her moons and just went "nope just a satellite bro nothing important about it" even rellana having those twin moons ruins that mother daughter moon thing rennala and ranni had
It didn't just ruin miquella, that's what you don't get. It took literally everything. And took a big fat steamy shit on it.
