A new crest would be awesome, but I'd also love some incentives to use a wide variety of crests. Perhaps ways to upgrade existing crests?

I hope they pull away a bit from the wish system. No hate for the quest log aspect but god do I hate "kill this many dudes with blue butt plugs to get 50 anal beads oh BTW it's a 1 in 3 drop" type quests and dispised the entire tracking quest type too. Major drop in my enjoyment especially due to needing to complete them.
Otherwise I'm hoping to see more from the seemstress clan. They all seem pretty chill
I've heard rumours that may be a leftover from a crafting system they worked on earlier in development. It makes sense to me, at least, that that would be meant to teach you to gather things to craft some upgrades, such as the spine quest for the drifter's cloak.
All that to say, agreed, and I don't assume they'll be adding more wishes like that, most wishes weren't lame "collect X of Y" chores, and I highly doubt Team Cherry would believe those to be the best parts of Silksong.
Yeah, I like the wish system, but they should have used it more for real quests and not just for killing things. Like helping a certain someone in white ward, that felt like a great quest.
In the end exploring and killing things are the two things you do in Silk song, but the context is what matters.
I’d love to see some more intense platforming; I really loved cogwork core, the path to the surface, etc. Hornet’s mobility is so rad
Cool cut scenes and scary stuff
I think the going theory is that the DLC is going to delve into how lifeblood can corrupt a society, and I really hope that's true.
The wormways were spooky come Act 3
Would fit into the already established themes like with the wormways and zylotol.
I am just super excited for the chance we get a underwater section. I love the vibe of such areas, the Coral Tower fits in this category, to an extent.
We won’t, but I hope we get some type of post-credits game state for after the end of act 3
Actually, how much of the content do you think will be in act 1/2 vs act 3? I hope that most of the content will already be available in act 2, and change in act 3, like the main story content.
Hopefully, early act one you can head over, just to have the opportunity to use any new items in the base game as well. But knowing TC they’ll make it accessible whenever it’s most appropriate in the story
Having it change for act 3 would be awesome, but then you’d have to start a new play through to see the original state if you’re already in act 3
