The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone

I absolutely loved everything about this DLC. Spoilers ahead: From the story itself to all the characters involved, especially the most macabre villain in the entire The Witcher series, and probably in all of gaming history. It’s simply incredible how well everything is written, how deep the story goes, and how difficult every decision you make can be. Just imagine, I spent an entire hour thinking deeply just to decide whether or not to take Iris’s rose. I also love Gaunter O’Dimm’s theme song, and as a character, understanding his true nature and his dark side as the story unfolds, initially thinking that Olgierd might be the real villain. It’s also mind-blowing the first time you meet him and realize that you actually encountered him at the very beginning of the game.

My favorite DLC in the entire gaming industry. I love it. At the same time, this DLC introduces new character upgrades.

The DLC of the century, a masterpiece, just like the base game. Ignore the quest given by the disrespectful bandit near the manor. Confront Olgierd to establish boundaries. Express your friendship to Shani, nothing more, nothing less (or the other advisor in Kovir won't be pleased). Put an end to the demon's vile games. Prepare for a journey to a greener land. Profit. Lesson learned: When a cloud traps you in its shadow, in life, it will always be very heavy, and getting rid of it will not be an easy task (time heals most ills). A man should never call upon the wind for help, for cloudy green plains are worth more than a barren, sunny land. (Beware of deals that seem too good to be true.)
