Wow, yeah, the pendant thing is just epic. I just don't think there's any other developer that would even consider doing something like that -- put a useless item in the game and troll their users into thinking it did something. I love those guys... especially since I always took the master key anyway! I agree the four new bosses are sweet. They're all really tough (tougher than most of the bosses in the vanilla game), and all fun to fight. Manus was especially tough, and Kalameet was particularly fun to fight. The only bummer about the DLC is that there isn't a whole lot of truly unique new area. The first big portion is just Darkroot Garden with very minor tweaks. And the last Abyss portion is a hell of a lot like the Tomb of the Giants/Gravelord Nito area. The only really original area is the middle Oolacile Township portion, which I really liked. But anyway, yeah, good stuff. Worth the download. It also spurred me to do something I'd been contemplating for a while -- roll a whole new character. My first character is kinda OP'ed at this point, particularly because of his sorcery, so I resolved to do another character and not use sorcery at all. I've still got pyromancy going, but it's not nearly as powerful as sorcery is. Honestly, playing a sorcerer kinda trivializes the game.
