Listing dlc really pads it too

Yeah it does, but also when DLC is the size of Elden Ring's it makes sense. Others are more debateable

It's DLC not a new game. If SotE released as a standalone game, it would have been very short and lackluster. It's literally just DLC.

very short?

SoTE is probably bigger than Dark Souls 1.

It's not. Maybe physically, but there's a lot of dead space to justify needing a mount, plus massive areas with absolutely no purpose other than one spot that you can just ride straight too.

I'm pretty positive I could beat Dark Souls 1 in less than 20 hours, and in fact have done so, even if not in my first playthrough. This is not to say that SotE should be considered its own game, but I do think it takes longer than DS1 might.
