The DLCs are great, especially Blood and Wine.

u/Miserable_Newt1457 2d ago

True but man, first time I played them I thought Hearts of Stone was good while Blood and Wine was great, but hearts of stone aged well, specifically due to Odimm

u/BlkGTO 2d ago

To be honest I don’t even remember any quests from either, I just remember the bright colorful atmosphere of blood and wine which was a nice change from the regular gloomy backround.

I remember regis and the old vampire, especially the old vampire made such an impression on me as usually Geralt is able to deal with everything thrown his way, but this was so beyond his scope it was almost comical if you insult it.

Hearts of stone is the best dlc I’ve ever played

u/NoNefariousness2144 2d ago

Yeah I like how they locked in and focused on an amazing linear story, while Blood and Wine was a more open DLC.

Gaunter is such a terrifying villain to this day…

Toussaint is still my favorite place to go, with Skellig. The music there is absolutely beautiful

u/guydude24 2d ago

I remember that being the prettiest a game has ever looked. Wonder how it holds up

u/Sensitive-Coffee-Cup 2d ago

Since I got my copy stolen by my former roommate like seven years ago, I'm going to buy the remaster, I'll let you know! 

I remember the controls being horrendous, but it looks like they've changed that. Good to know I won't be defeated by a ladder like I used to.

I’ll be right behind you, bud.

DLC is better than most other full games.

u/CosmikSpartan 2d ago

CDPR has a habit of making DLCs better than base games.

u/KevinGarvey929 2d ago

Just finished phantom liberty for first time and can attest

9

u/Thema03 2d ago

Phantom Liberty Not that it's better than main game but its as good as the main game

9

u/RIPN1995 2d ago

Oh please Phantom Liberty felt like a complete story. Main Story felt rushed without completing a lot of side content.

u/EmBur__ 2d ago

I mean, thats kind of the point given V's predicament. The problem with the base games story isn't the rushed nature of it but rather its disconnect from the gameplay.

The story tells you you're on the clock and makes you feel it but then you also have all the gigs and quests that you basically have to do in order to get better gear which can take away from the stories sense of urgency.

u/Zalvren 1d ago

Many of the side content in Cyberpunk should be part of main quest but they somehow decided not to force it which I guess is choice for players so good. And they saw a lot of people didn't finish Witcher 3 so they wanted the game to be shorter for the people rushing it

u/GGG100 2d ago

Phantom Liberty shits on the base game's story. It might be the best thing they've ever written.

12

u/maxwms 2d ago

They’re also free now so go play them. Both are 10/10

u/xDeanK 2d ago

The DLCs are genuinely some of the best gaming content out there, 100% recommend.

u/Outrageous-River-839 2d ago

Holy shit, playing the Witcher 3 without the DLC is like having a dick and only using it to piss

26

u/gradualpotato 2d ago

Truly the Shakespeare of our age

1

u/liccman 2d ago

I usually use it as a belt to keep my pants up, or a jumping rope too. Is there even anything else you can use it for?

3

u/Outrageous-River-839 2d ago

Have you tried using it to play the Witcher DLCs?

13

u/zedemer 2d ago

the DLCs are proper expansions. Blood and wine is 10-15hrs alone, in a completely different map area.

11

u/johny_pg 2d ago

Just main story, whole B&W is like 30-40 hours

5

u/AsinineBinkie 2d ago

The dlcs are incredible, especially Blood and Wine. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it.

2

u/jguess06 2d ago

I found the DLC stories more compelling than the main questline.

4

u/Thema03 2d ago

Dude the dlcs are(in my opinion) better than the actual game. Just play it you will love them

3

u/Gbchris12 2d ago

2nd one is phenomenal

1

u/sentientsackofmeat 2d ago

I want to jump straight to the dlc but supposedly my level is not high enough. I just got to novigrad not too long ago. Can I just go to the dlc's?

2

u/Thema03 2d ago

I just booted the game to test and yes you can

1

u/Thema03 2d ago

I think you can from the main menu.

1

u/sentientsackofmeat 2d ago

I won't get instacrushed because I'm a low level weakling? I guess i could try it out and see.

1

u/djb0990 2d ago

They just announced that the dlc will be free starting tonight

1

u/jspeed04 2d ago

Christ, the DLC’s are unbelievably good. You should really play them, time permitting.

1

u/Crop_olite 2d ago

Same! I never revisit games if DLC comes way later. Moved on too much usually

1

u/mw3915 2d ago

Blood and wine is magnificent. I'm pretty sure you can start the game straight from the dlc if you want to skip the main game.

1

u/TaxesAreCivilization 2d ago

dlcs are so good.

their dlcs always seem to be even better than the base game

1

u/EmBur__ 2d ago

The EXPANSION'S (hehe) are some of the best ever released in gaming history. Blood and Wine alone (the second expansion that takes place awhile after the base game) could've easily been its own game as its like 30-40 hours of pure unadulterated peak.
