    Blood and Wine Expansion:
    This expansion gives a new storyline, a big new map, more creatures, dozens of new question markers and many new pieces of gear.
    The main storyline of this expansion is fantastic, reuniting you with Regis the Higher Vampire. You are hired to kill the beast of Beauclair, but this contract will turn out to be something much bigger than just a monster. There are    Blood and Wine Expansion:
    This expansion gives a new storyline, a big new map, more creatures, dozens of new question markers and many new pieces of gear.

    The main storyline of this expansion is fantastic, reuniting you with Regis the Higher Vampire. You are hired to kill the beast of Beauclair, but this contract will turn out to be something much bigger than just a monster. There are 5 new sets of Witcher Gear, and even more mutation modifiers. Finally, the other vampires not featured in the main game are included, as well as some other cool monsters. By the time you compete Blood and Wine, your bestiary will be huge.

    As the aforementioned additions are cool, i do have a few strong negatives towards this expansion.
    1: Filler question markers:
    Many of the question markers are plain and simple filler. You will encounter either: Archespores (which are annoying) Bandits (which are boring) or Kakimores (Which are just a re-skin of Endrega's). As you visit each, you will notice that the ones at the edge of the map are placed quite awkwardly. The area feels unfinished and empty.

    2: Not enough proper Witcher Contracts or Introductions:
    If you've played the base game, you'll know how well the anticipation towards a new monster can often be build. You'll find tracks, Geralt will talk about this monster, naming how deadly and dangerous it can be. By the time you are near its lair, you'll be on the edge of your seat. Sadly, Blood and Wine has offensively little of this. Many monster like the Alp, Fleder, Garkain, Protofleder and a new wraith type have no introduction like this, and can be found by random chaotic encounters without any suspense. This feels like a missed opportunity, and even lazy considering the developer already did these encounters BETTER in the base game.

    3: OP balancing issues:
    While playing Blood and Wine, i came across several instances where fighting bandits felt like i was fighting demigods. Despite my Geralt wearing Grandmaster Witcher Gear with several modifiers on it, bandits would beat right through it using blunt axes... This makes no sense from a statistic point of view in the game, nor does it make sense considering the legendary armor Geralt is wearing.

    4: Feels unfinished:
    Next to the excessive amount of repetitive enemies described in point 1, i noticed that many question markers had initiation items similar to missions in the base game, yet started nothing. Many times, you'll come across a dead person carrying a letter. Yet after reading it, no mission initiates. Upon further exploration however, you'll often find something related to this letter. It feels as if CD Projekt RED intended to have more missions, yet didn't finish making them.

    In summary, i think the Blood and Wine expansion offers many hours of fun. But i was also disappointed considering what i've seen before in the base game, and i feel like this expansion is the weakest aspect of the entire Witcher 3 property. That said, it is still a good game. I give it a 7/10.    … Expand

    Considering that this is a DLC, this is one of the best that I have ever played, if not THE best. It has so much content, a huge new map, dozen of hours worth of side and main quests, a pretty great plot with good, three dimentional characters and several paths to choose from. Plus, it's gorgeous. One of CD Projekt Red's best works.

    A DLC for a masterpiece game. Its just as amazing as the original games itself and it adds a lot of things. I know a lot of DLCs that has minimal or no content at all. CD Projekt Red is not like that fortunately. Definitely a 10/10. Way more worth it than some full games.

    I really, really hoped this expansion would encourage developers to move back to modest-priced but unique and expansive DLC rather than this industry practice of releasing hackneyed yearly sequels but I'm yet to see it. I really want some more Blood Dragons, Blood and Wines and Undead Nightmares this decade and I know I'm not alone.

    I started playing TW3 when all the DLCs have already come out, so if feels like one game to me as I go from main story and DLCs back and forth. Again, the fact that the DLCs added so much good content, not just filler made the game even more special.

Все остальные персонажи тоже хорошие, да и сам Геральт немного преображается что ли. Становится более спокойным, в отличие от основной игры. В общем - это шедевр.… Expand

    Blood and Wine is an outstanding DLC and I would say the best game of The Witcher 3 set! Toussaint is an interesting new land to explore filled with new and exciting characters and quests and the storyline is the best yet! It finishes off Geralt’s story nicely and I recommend you play this after all the others!

    Now that was unbelievable. Huge respect to the developers for releasing this as DLC and not as a standalone game. The game offers at least twenty hours of gameplay. But if you love the world of The Witcher like I do, you'll have no problem spending forty hours in the game.

    The DLC offers a new feature - the creation of new mutagens. To be honest, I only made marginal use of it.    Now that was unbelievable.

    "Blood and Wine" takes place in a completely new location compared to the previous DLC. And anyone expecting a small map would be mistaken. The Toussaint area is huge, a full-sized location the size of Velen.

    Now on to the characters and the story itself. The overall setting where the story takes place seems to have fallen out of a romance-style book. Princesses, valiant knights, greenery, wine and love. A combination that in itself guarantees success. The characters are well written, the story is suspenseful until the very end and, as is customary with the Witcher games, it offers multiple endings.

    I enjoyed the game phenomenally and I will definitely go through the whole game again in a few months, along with all the DLC. I can't rate it other than 10/10.    … Expand

A place for Geralt to finally settle down, a heroes end for the white wolfs journey producing a satisfying conclusion for fans of the series. The B&W DLC is honestly the perfect send off to one of medias most beloved characters and also to the series itself. It is the antithesis to most video game add-ons these days where those creations capitalise on expanding sales and becoming a cash grab for businesses whereas CDPR have strived once again to create another passion project that is in my opinion the greatest expansion of any video game I've played.… Expand

Gerade die Kampagne hat es in sich. Vielleicht haben wir es hier mit der bisher am besten erzählten The Witcher Geschichte zu tun. Mich hat diese deutlich mehr begeistert als die eigentliche Geschichte des Original Spiels. Hätte CD Project den Blood and Wine DLC als eigenständiges Spiel veröffentlicht - Es wäre tatsächlich das bisher beste spielbare Witcher Erlebnis und die perfekte Empfehlung für alle, die die 100 Stunden Spielzeit von Wild Hunt eher abschrecken.… Expand

    For players who just want more Witcher, there’s no doubt that Blood And Wine delivers. It has a whole new land to explore, there are tons of things to do, and there’s enough content to keep someone busy for dozens of hours. On the other hand, it felt to me like the entire Witcher experience had already peaked, so following it up with something that’s just not as good leaves things in an awkward place. The last ten minutes are absolutely worth seeing, but the hours that come before it? Maybe not so much.

    Blood and Wine held all the components to make a great final adventure, but failed to truly capitalise on any one of them. If you’re looking for a good final experience to cap off your monster hunting career, go finish Hearts of Stone again – this one’s rather underwhelming.
