Going through this expansion for the 3rd time and I love it. As soon as I'm through I'll be playing blood and wine again but this one is better imo. I love the characters. This one is more memorable for me. I love the base game but the main quest is kinda bland. This expansion along with the second one has a better story and characters. The few people I know who have played TW3 haven't played these expansions. I keep telling them they have to but they refuse. They will never know what they are missing.
