A Cool Concept, I think...

I know this will never happen but I think it would be awesome if we could get one more DLC for Dark Souls BUT not in the traditional sense of a new area that you access (ala, the last DLC over at the far end of the Hydra's Lake) but rather all of the places that are normally boarded up are and not accessible would be extended. There are a ton of places that you simply can't go now but could be if From would do it. Bust through the unbreakable doors from before to introduce the rest of that area. It would be the same game, but simply bigger with lots of new parts of the cities, parishes and places!

I would love to explore much more of Anor Londo, New Londo Ruins, Upper & Lower Undead Burg, Etc.. Even better, brand new areas could branch out from these opened up areas too for new boss battles. Kind of a Director's Cut! It would like rediscovering Dark Souls all over again. I know the point of Dark Souls 2 is to give this brand new discovery and I agree and look forward to it, but having these "lost episodes", if you will, would be a great thing.

By the way, has anything like this happened before for a video game's DLC?

Be cool, but I don't know what they'd add, except more area enemies and a few more treasures.

Well, if you enjoyed the DLC a lot (I did), they could add anything they wanted and would be just as fun.

The best way to describe it would be if "Oolacile Township" was connected from the Upper Undead Burg or if "The Royal Wood" was connected to "Darkroot Wood". Big areas that just connect up differently. New enemies, new weapons and of course, new bosses. Basically new ways to die -- all found through re-exploring the familiar areas. Anor Londo truly comes to mind as a wonderful place that could be more explorable through additional content. City is huge but a vast majority of it is blocked off.

They do, they are the same place.

If you mean like walk from one to another, that would make no sense.

This is a WHAT IF scenario. I was explaining how interesting if, in a future DLC, FromSoft decided that instead of just taking us off to another place and time in one sectioned off DLC area, they instead just made all of the boarded off places accessible. And then I gave a couple of examples of how they could've done that with the last DLC since the areas I mentioned were similar in look.
