I appreciate the experience elden ring gave me but i'll likely never touch it again, wouldn't be able to survive all the copy paste dungeons a second time i barely survived them the first time round. Well thats a lie seamless coop will make me play again with a roleplaying rpg party

Tbf most people seem to just ignore all the non-mandatory dungeons on subsequent playthroughs. A strange benefit of them having no useful rewards by and large.

You kinda need them for the bells to buy upgrade items tho. It's quite easy to fuck up your build and invest in a really shit weapon. Also very rarely ome of those dungeons may actually have something really unique and cool in it so the lootbox addiction continues. Am i gonna get a super unique cool area with quests and unique bosses? Or another lava slug that drops 1 upgrade item. I ended up looking at an online map to find what i cared about and ignore the rest cos zigzagging across the map to find things organically was very very boring
