    Pros:
    + Woman character
    + Finally, you can utilize equipment for a woman
    + Brings another perspective on the storyline
    + Shows you the daily life of a woman in the 15th century

    Cons:
    - Short additional game time
    - Probably not worth the full price unless you are a big fan
    - Missing option to switch the character

    An interesting DLC that allows you to play the role of Theresa for a while and see her view of the events of the main story. Overall an interesting but short DLC. Additionally you can do another set of quests related to Johanka. These are played as Henry again and are interesting but ultimately not as good as the Theresa stories.

Overall an interesting but short DLC. Additionally you can do another set of quests related to Johanka. These are played as Henry again and are interesting but ultimately not as good as the Theresa stories. The problem is that you shouldn't likely play the DLC until after you're at least half way through the story. By this point you've already made some decisions that impact this new quest and there is nothing you can do to change them. I'm OK with quests interacting with each other but I'm not a fan of minor decisions made in one quest (a year earlier) having a more dramatic impact on a completely unrelated quest later on (added via a DLC) because there is nothing you can do about it. Overall it seems this quest line is marching to a very specific ending and your "decisions" are just there to check a box on a design spreadsheet.

    The biggest complaint I have about this DLC is that none of it matters in the end. After the quest line is over both Theresa and Johanka behave the same toward you. It is like you never did anything. At least with Theresa you'd expect a different response but I never saw any.

    Overall I found this DLC to be better than the Tourney (which I never bothered with) or Band of Bastards. It is a good DLC to finish up this game and I can finally uninstall this game and move on.    … Expand

    While I appreciated the alternate perspective of the same story events from the prologue, as well as playing a woman's experience from the same time period, I found almost every other aspect of this DLC to be painfully dull. I think I might have been more compassionate had I not had to "gather herbs in the dark" toward the end, but that took the cake.

I think I might have been more compassionate had I not had to "gather herbs in the dark" toward the end, but that took the cake. That one non-optional quest had to be one of the dullest and least imaginative quests in any video game ever. I cannot imagine who greenlit that drek, but they did not earn their paycheck that day. I could simply not wait for it to end. It was so very bad that I just don't see myself doing any more of KCD's DLCs, period. Luckily, I got this one as part of a bundle, so I didn't pay extra for it - but had I any idea how much time stood to be wasted, I would have never touched the thing.

    I also don't appreciate being tricked into it either. You're thrown into the DLC by offering to listen to what you're led to believe will be nice, though long, story from Theresa. No mention of the fact that you'll be derailed from Henry's storyline for what might be hours. That convo with Thersa should really start off, "Dear Henry, would you like to be bored into a corpse by the endess tragedy of how I picked herbs in the dark to save my brother who died anyway?" I believe I had more fun writing that last sentence than all of these side quests combined. I also found it rather ironic that the final third - the part when your town gets assailed by a hostile foreign army, ransacked, and burned to the ground - was the absolute most-boring part. yeesh.    … Expand

    While Johanka's story is interesting, albeit with plenty of boring sections scattered throughout, Theresa's 'ordinary life' is so dull it made me want to do my own chores more than play a video game.

    While the gameplay mechanics, and the world you'll traverse are exactly the same, A Woman's Lot is a very enjoyable supplement to the core game, that follows the perspective of one of the best characters in it. Not a must have, but undoubtedly the best DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance released so far.

    An expansion of two halves - one of them terrific, the second distinctly average. As a whole, it brings a solid amount of new content and finally honors promises made long ago. Kingdom Come finally reaches the height of its power.
