Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered Announced, Songs of the Past Gets First Look
Carl@anarchist.nexus 1 week agoHoS is a phenomenal piece of DLC that you’re supposed to play alongside the main story. It has a truly fantastic villain. BaW is a nice capstone for Geralt’s story, which takes place after the events of the main story.
I tend to fall into the “DLC is bad” camp, but both W3 expansions are perfect examples of how DLC can be good. I tend to dislike DLC because it tends to break (at least) one of the following criteria:
The base game is already complete, and doesn’t require the DLC for a full experience.
The DLC meshes neatly within the base game without feeling bolted onto the side.
The DLC adds genuinely interesting content to the game.
All three critera are what I would typically complain about with DLC, and Witcher 3’s DLC passes all three litmus tests. So any complaints I would have about them would essentially boil down to personal preference rather than objective reasons.

Agreed, and also about the DLC rankings. Blood and Wine is alright but it’s wildly overrated. It’s a nice post-game vacation and it has some fun stuff in it, but it’s ideal to play like a year after finishing base game + HoS, in my opinion.
Hearts of Stone is the best Witcher content CDPR has produced yet.
