  Hearts of Stone is the best Witcher content they ever produced in my opinion. Highly recommend checking it out.

    You’re doing spooning wrong:

      You should spoiler tag that for H&S.

        I’ve played Hearts and even I don’t know what the fuck is happening.

  I’d say you only need to play Blood and Wine - Hearts of Stone isn’t bad but it isn’t what I’d call an expansion.

    Given the depth of writing in the Witcher 3, I think skipping Hearts of Stone would be a huge mistake.

    I would argue the other way around. Blood and Wine is fun and nice as a capstone to Geralt and has a lot of content if you just want to ride around and play Gwent and do the Wine Wars and play house with your vineyard or whatever. It’s a fun expansion with a lot of value for your money if that’s what you’re after.

    Hearts of Stone though is the most focused, well written, cinematic and concise story and content they ever made for Witcher. Has great characters, mystery, tension, levels, cutscenes, atmosphere… For me it was by far the more impactful of the two DLCs. If anything B&W is too long, I was already burned out by the end of it.

    Heart of Stone hits harder than blood which is breezy in comparison. First time I enjoyed blood better but that was mostly down to the new location. Going over the same territory from the main game was a bit underwhelming. But on replay - no contest. (Well apart from the Auction house.)

    Idk man, Hearts of Stone’s story is the best in the entire game IMO.

    I wouldn’t just call it not bad, it’s great.

  Probably cuz you got burnt out playing the base game? I am replaying the game right now and it’s kinda exhausting because the gameplay isn’t as great as I remember (I got so spoiled Souls games, they raised my standards too high lol) but it was fine once I installed a few mods to tweak things.

  Also you can just play the DLCs alone instead of starting an entire new game just for them.

  Nothing. Some games do not appeal to you and that is fine.

  I have the trilogy, played a bit, hated the characters and went back to Skirim. I guess I like my main character less chatty.

  tbf they are stupidly big and take way too long to complete.
