Honestly if shadow of the erdtree didn’t come out it would be considered the gold standard dlc.
Edit: and you get to skip straight to the dlc on character creation. It makes some story decisions for you but if you want meat and not potatoes then that option is available.
Occasionally we get the odd tech update but they consider it basically finished now.
But the tl:dr is
Bugs fixed
Optimized
Gameplay enhanced
Dlc is amazing
Too bad it’s a linear game (except for the first mission), which is the opposite of what they promised.
It’s nice they added a DLC, and I’m glad it’s good, but it doesn’t really mesh with the rest of the game.
Is it a buggy mess like it was at launch? No. Is it what they advertised and sold? Also no.
There’s DLC?! With the state the game launched in I wouldn’t even buy it, they honestly lost my trust
