    Personally, I like Blood and Wine more than the main story. It's definitely because of Toussaint and the characters but honestly, this expansion is better than a lot of full RPG games!

    SHORZZ / The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine: It's not like a dlc, it's like a new game. As always, they both increased the quality and stayed true to the book. For this Dlc alone, walking around Tossaint and experimenting with atmosphere, vampire hunting and music is truly worth the experience and time.

    It's really, really good. But it also has to deal with some of the Witcher's shortcomings more often than the main game. The controls are just not as precise or responsive as in other games of this genre. That said, Blood and Wine is still worth playing and you will not get an expansion that offers so much bang for the buck anywhere.

    Blood and Wine introduces the area of Toussaint
    Toussaint is gorgeous, and full of color…
    And there is tons to be done here…
    This DLC could be its own game, because not only is there a 10 hour campaign here, there are 20 more hours of side quests, a new Gwent deck to collect, new treasures to find, new areas to liberate, more witcher contracts, as well as diagrams for grand mastered versions of your armor…
    This dlc also introduces the ability to dye your armor, and you’re given your own land to harvest crops for alchemy and creating dyes.
    There is also a new mutation skill tree which opens up new perks as well as gives you 4 new slots from the perks before, as well as the level cap increased to 100.
    And there is plenty to do to chase this level cap as just like the base game, every side mission if fleshed out as well as the main campaign missions...
    They’ll have you entering a tournament, only to find out a dark secret, running through the city to retrieve a stolen pair of balls… cleaning up sabotaged vineyards, just to name a few…
    And there are of course nests to destroy, caves to explore, and newly added enemy bases to take control of, all featuring a boss fight…
    Surprisingly the weakest aspect of this dlc is the campaign itself..
    It tells the story of a vampire terrorizing these lands... murdering people…
    So you’ve been called by the duchess to hunt this vampire down and kill him…
    So this turns into a batman type story..
    Which is sort of ironic considering...batman...vampire…
    It’s all about solving the mystery, finding out why this vampire is targeting these people…
    The strongest point of this dlc is later on in the story when you go into a book of fairytales..
    You’ll meet classic characters like the big bad wolf, the munchkins from the wizard of Oz… goldilocks and the 3 bears…
    All having a bit of a sick twist to them…
    This section alone was worth the journey this expansion will take you on.
    While I found the main story of Blood and Wine to be fairly weak, This expansion is crawling with engaging content, mysteries to be solved, and booties to be seen.

A character's base was good but they ended only on this. What's more the whole plot and intrigue wasn't so engaging. But don't get me wrong, this expansion has truly good story, but simpy I have to compare both DLC. Fortunately, the new expansion in contrast to Hearts of Stone offers us great side quests.

It also contains some interesting characters awesome plot twists. Toussaint is vibrant and colorful, but the game takes you to other locations along the main storyline as well! Simply amazing.

    The gameplay, combat and such are pretty much identical to the main game, so no surprises there. Nothing we haven't seen before. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed playing through the main and side quests, just because the dialogue and storytelling is as good as ever! More than once I had to laugh out loud at some of the dialogue and quirky characters.

    The story has 3 branching endings, which means the choices you make really matter, in unexpected ways. There is also a new love interest for Geralt to pursue, similar to Heats of Stone.

A very mature plot and very intriguing as one progresses more and more, but side quests can get a little tiring from time to time, something that would not be a problem if you consider that as a way to get back to the main quests and get as less distractions as possible. Not to say that the side quests are boring or anything, in fact it is really impressive how the developers can still pull out fresh and interesting side quests, but there are some side quests that will make you want to finish them already and move on to some other more interesting things to do.
    Talking about the new map, it is really glorious, different, marvelous, absorbing and quite well contrasted from all the other maps already placed in the game; one can feel the owe when discovering these new lands once again. Even the people can differ a lot from the folk from the north and Nifgaard. The people of Toussaint are even more polite!
    The new system of character development, involving the creation of new powerful mutagens, is satisfactorily justified with a really interesting side quest to get them activated.
    Overall, a very pleasing story to enjoy. Characters with their own motivations and way of thinking that make up for a great story that wil put a nice "goodbye for now" to this incredible universe. With, yet again, another really pleasing and nostalgic surprise at the very end of the main story... well of course it's CD Projekt Red so it might depend on your previous decisions from point 0 of the game.    … Expand

    Honestly my favorite of the two dlc's. This Story is INSANE the farther you get into it. Literally the only thing keeping this from a 10 in my opinion was the fact that because it was in a hotter realm, they decided to add mosquito sounds when bugs were near by and that just annoyed me personally. This DLC is a must play if you haven't for some reason.

    Definitely the best RPG game of the year "The Witcher 3" kinda spoiled the last impression with B&W. Vampires in this game contradict the canon and good sense. However, CDR did a great job creating Witcher atmosphere and I really enjoyed the last few hours with Geralt. So, it's 710, but +1 as I'm huge fan of the series. Srry.

    In terms of characters, I have found Regis to be one of the most interesting ones in the Witcher universe. Other than Regis though, most characters are pretty forgettable, similar to Blood and Wine quests. Finally, I had to lower down the difficulty when fighting Dettlaff due to the sudden spike in difficulty. Dettlaff boss fight offered a challenge unlike any other encounter in Witcher 3, but not necessarily a more enjoyable one.

    Overall, I can recommend Blood and Wine if you have enjoyed both Witcher 3 and the first expansion. If you did not find them very interesting, your experience won’t get better in Blood and Wine.    … Expand

    So many memories... When I've been reading the Witcher books, I loved the fairy-tale-styled duchy of Toussaint with its chevaliers and culture. I loved vampire Regis who became one of Geralt's closest friends (and who died heroically in the end of the book saga) and I loved Mr. Sapkowski's non-stereotypical approach to vampire mythology. And this DLC has all of these things and adds a lot more.

    Story, characters, soundtrack, new gameplay mechanics, atmosphere, jokes... Simply great. And when "Dusk of a Northern Kingdom" started playing during one cutscene I almost died from nostalgia.

    Blood and Wine is well-crafted DLC and and excellent send-off to Geralt.

    The main quest line was great; it really held mystery and intrigue that you slowly unraveled as you went along. It never showed its hand too early. The characters were fleshed out and ones that were in the books were given greater backstory. I had a ton of fun with a part of the payment Geralt is given for his contract. It was a real nice touch and something that Geralt truly deserved after a lifetime of being on the road monster hunting. I don’t want to say too much as that would spoil the story but this was a really great expansion and the ending was a beautiful wrap-up to Geralt’s story.

    This was a far superior product than the base game. It was obvious that CDPR learned from it; the animations, the cinematics, the quest structures, the characters, all were better here and had me actually caring what the end result would be. I could feel the love and care that went into Blood and Wine.    … Expand

    If I thought Hearts of Stone was completly detached from the main story, imagine this DLC. It goes all in with It's premise in the title, contains, again, great characters and story. But you could say out of all the stories presented the one of the sisters Annarietta and Syanna have the weakest ending (Out of all the possibles).

    While the spectacular world and the beautiful backstory surrounding the characters will awe you, the main story unfortunately comes extremely short and below average quality of typical RPGs.

There is a clear effort put into the sidequests of the game but the main journey that the characters take feel quite forced and limited due to the nature of the game needing to finish the Wild Hunt arc of the story in one game.
    The controls of the main character feels extremely stiff due to wanting to emphasize the stylish nature of combat Geralt takes. This is especially bothersome when the character is forced to take 2m forward for most attacks you initiate.
    Looting in the game is not spectacular but understandable considering the game was never focused on looting in the first place. However, it also feels the inclusion of the system itself is pointless considering food is unnecessary and any potions you unlocked do not require further crafting to refill.

    Although this expansion is a significant upgrade to the main game, ultimately feels on par with the main game because of the previous issues that persist.    … Expand

    Pros
    Marvelous new world, colourful (a nice departure from the rather drab colours of velen and Novigrad), painstakingly crafted with an amazing care for the details. Passionating, compelling story with deep and interesting characters, and full of meaningful choices to be made.

    Cons
    Very few new enemies. Most new monsters are just reskins of those already present in the base game. Boss fight too don't add anything new etiher (apart from the wicked witch wich I really enjoyed). Uncompromisingly and frustratingly difficult at the highest difficulty setting (I had to lower the difficulty for the first time after having finished the base game and Hearts of Iron at death march), most monsters and bosses follow the same old and repetitive mechanics, they are just faster, stronger and harder to hit, which has the side effect of rendering utterly useless most of the skills aquired for your carefully thought-out character build; you will end up never using signs or alchemy since the only strategy that seems to work is dodging, rolling and landing the occasional hit from behind.
    Too many, long and boring fetch quests. Useless and boring treasure hunts, because when you finally manage to have the guy make you the coveted grandmaster sets, you will most probably be at a much higher level than the one necessary to unlock the armor and most quests will be a lower level too.
    Too many cutscenes you can't skip and with too few checkpoints for saving! This already annoyed me in the base game, and here it's even worse. I can understand not being able to save, but why shouldn't I even pause or exit the game during those dialogue cutscenes!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really enjoyed the movie like qualities in this game, the rich visuals and soundtracks and the excellent characters, plots and dialogues. What could be better than watching Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, than actually taking part in your own adventure?

    What did annoy me the most was the relationship elements of the plot, I got stitched up after sleeping with both Yennefer and Triss and then Ciri died and the game blamed it on my poor choices and made me feel bad Its a game, with dragons and magic so why can't I wander around telling a few hot girls that I love them and end up with a threesome, and be protective and lame with my daughter and still get a happy ending?

    The game is called Witcher 3 not Perfect Boyfriend or Perfect Father 3, someone needs to tell the woman that wrote those plot choices into the game that guys want to have an enjoyable experience not be punished for their perceived attitudes towards women when they are messing around in a fantasy game.

    The other thing that annoyed me is all the time-wasting, running around, collecting hordes of complete worthless junk, the story makes the game and the rest is really just boring filler, they need to make the stuff outside of the awesome main story-line more arcade like and more streamlined.

    When you say there is 90 hours of playtime, the moments that stand out are maybe a tenth of that with a few epic ones and the rest just filler, so not sure a game that wastes this much time is a good thing.

    The story bits were awesome, I would love to see a more fast paced game with fast arcade style fight scenes in between plots and dialogue choices that allow to the player to create their own fantasies rather than be tested and rewarded or punished against the code of the author of the script.

    Yes, it's incredibly beautiful to look at and there's ALOT of attention to detail which is a masterpiece of achievement on it's own.... but it's still a boring game. Maybe if they had implemented some form of 1st person view, I would be more immersed or enjoyed it personally... but it felt like I was controlling a RTS character that was clunky and honestly the controls were extremely frustrating for a game of this magnitude to skip something so basic.

    overhyped and overrated. The game can be summed up as: fetch quest to cuscene with boring dialogue to fetch quest to another cutscene with boring dialogue.

Apparently, CD Project was so impressed by the reception the Blood Baron quest received that decided to make both of their expansion, into simillar soap operas about love, betrayal and family disputes. But where the story of the previous expansion, Hearts of Stone, had interesting characters and a horror movie feeling to it, the story of Blood and Wine does not have any of that. Maybe fans of the books will enjoy it more since most of the characters where from the books ll and they drop reffrerences to them in every cutscene, but I could't bring myself to give a fraction of a crap about any of these characters or the story. It's nice that CD Project decided to finish some of Sapkowski's plots from the books but it would have been nicer if they brought back some of the characters us game fans enjoyed like Saskia or Iorveth.

    Fortunatelly, the game adds enough content to make up for the **** writing. The land of Toussaint is pretty large and is probably the best looking location from the Witcher 3. There are some nice side quests as well like one where you get to speak to your horse or one where you need to return the testicles of a statue. It's too bad most of them still rely on the Witcher Senses mechanic instead of giving the player subtle clues as how to solve them, but hey, it's 2016, you can't expect an RPG developer to put a lot of thought in their quests, right?

    On the gameplay side, there is a lot more content, like more weapons and armor(of which most look just as the ones from the main game), as well as some new witcher gear, including GrandMaster level equipment. The most important addition is the Mutations skill tree which offers some new powerful abillities at a great cost in skill points and mutagens. I didn't find this too interesting however since most of these abilities offer passive bonuses just like the ones from the base game, but then again I didn't insvest in a lot of them since I inished the main story(which is a lot shorter than the 20 hours that the developers promised) and I wasn't too interested to keep playing after.

    Overall, for an expansion that was so hyped and so praised by fanboys, this was very dissapointing. Not terrible, but not good either. If CD project decides to make another Witcher game I hope that they abndon this daytime soap opera writting and return to their more intriguing stories.    … Expand

    The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine is an exceptional expansion that reignites a sense of wonder even for players who have put in hundreds of hours so far. The breadth and variety of all that’s included stands stronger than many full-priced sequels. As a twenty-dollar add-on, it’s absolutely worthwhile.
