Hey Duders,

I have a question, after you beat the final boss in this game can you go on to play the DLC?

I ask as in dark souls 1 you had to beat the dlc first otherwise play it on NG+

Many thanks in advance.

@carryboy: Dark Souls 2 doesn't immediately launch you into NG+ when you beat the game. You can keep doing whatever until you're ready to go.

@theblue: Fantastic, thank you.

random, but ive always wanted to play a souls game. i tried demon souls on ps3 a long time ago but never got back to playing it. Is it too late to play dark souls one and two on PC? or is there some sort of online component that ill be missing if i wait too long?

@luca717: No, you can still play them. You may have fewer phantoms to summon for help in Dark Souls, and the red phantoms that invade your world will be major dicks, but the online aspects of the game are not essential.

Dark Souls II probably isn't terribly different than it was around launch. Summoning phantoms for bosses is more important, but you can still get by without them, and I think you'll still be able to find people to fight with. The soul memory system should help prevent overpowered invaders.
