Free Witcher 3 DLC Thoughts

Despite making several purchases in the Steam Sale, I have decided to replay The Witcher 3.  It's that good!  I'm hoping to correct the many things I did wrong in my first playthrough and to make some different choices.  One nice aspect of my immediate replay is the addition of several smaller pieces of DLC that both add in new quests and more cosmetic things like beards and hairstyles for Geralt or alternative looks for Triss and Yennefer.

A few of the already released DLC options for The Witcher 3.

The best part of this DLC is that it's free.  Who can complain about something that is free?  (If you purchased it on Steam you will need to click on the "DLC" button to see all the available additional content for the game.  Then you will need to hit "install" for any that you want.  This is another cool feature that allows you to pick what you do and do not want--thanks CD Projekt Red!)  Thus far I have only experienced the cosmetic aspects and haven't stumbled across any of the added quests.  The "Fool's Gold" quest sounds interesting--Geralt and the village idiot explore a town populated by pigs.  Hmmmm....maybe they're demon pigs?

The skins and cosmetic features are a fun addition if you're into changing the appearances of the main characters.  I am a fan of Geralt's default hairstyle, but I also like the sides shaved-ponytail look.  It's fun to be able to change Geralt's hair and beard (there is kind of no point to messing with the beard since it grows back).  As to Yennefer and Triss' new looks--I'm not a huge fan.  It's obvious that these new looks were added to make them seem sexier.  To me the new looks don't work with the story and I like both their original looks much better.  They are sorceresses for the love....they don't need the slutty clothes to be sexy!  Even though I downloaded the new looks I have uninstalled them because I'm not a big fan.

One thing I was excited for was what I thought was a new Gwent deck composed of neutral cards.  It turns out that the new Gwent deck isn't a deck at all but are new skins for neutral cards.  The new skins are actually pretty cool, not as cool as a whole other deck, but it'll do.

I can't get over how great The Witcher 3 is and how CD Projekt Red will give away things they could be selling.  You've earned yourselves a new fangirl.
