Where to find a sweetroll in the shivering isles
Unfortunately for me, and luckily for you, you won’t have to read my words on why you should buy the most premium, finest DLC add-on ever released (I’m ashamed to admit that I did actually buy this for however many Microsoft Points it cost at the time) as it’s not actually on sale. I feel like I’ve given enough praise to the expansion: now, can you put your well-kept hand down? Thanks.Īs we’re focusing on DLC with our picks this week, I was going to make a case for the superb Horse Armor Pack for Oblivion (surely you want your horse to be protected and look dazzlingly fabulous at the same time, right?). It can glitch, so just keep a save point before you attack that brand of enemy camp. Be careful with the Wild Rose Dethorned achievement, though. With additional horse races and Gwent cards to collect, this is just an all-round must-play part of the game. When you return to the main quests of Wild Hunt, you feel refreshed and ready for more. This happens to Geralt a few times in Sapowski’s books and is a huge part of what makes his adventures feel unique. It truly feels like Geralt is off on a side-quest entirely by accident, something games often tell you is happening but rarely make you feel.
Olgierd von Everec is maybe one of my favourite villains in the Witcher franchise, Gaunter O’Dimm is a ploughin’ son of a gnome, and doctor and row-boat accomplice Shani reminds me a little bit too much of my girlfriend, making me question how I’m subconsciously forming my real-life relationships. The characters and environments sing, as does the dialogue and chemistry between literally everyone. The runtime sits at about ten hours (plus however long you play Gwent for), so this is a meaty package for 70% off. Wild things happen afterwards that I don’t want to spoil, but the mission variety is a class above. You end up in some twisted questline vying with Gaunter O'Dimm, a naughty little trickster that breaks you out of a slave boat that the Ofieri bodyguards put you on after trying to save a froggy prince in a sewer. Hearts of Stone, meanwhile, never gets the love it deserves for being this perfect and engaging side adventure that fits perfectly with the main game. It is also distinctly an epilogue to The Witcher 3 that feels unique from the main quests of the game. It’s fab and Heidi above clearly knows it, too. I’m fairly certain that we all know what's up with Blood and Wine. To take the sting out of said perpetrator's mean backhand swipe - what moisturiser do you use? So soft… - I’m going to concentrate on Hearts of Stone. If one of the team didn't pick this, someone would have slapped us in the comments, no doubt.
