le plus grand dlc de l'histoire
this game brings back my absolute favourite character from the entirety of the witcher series and it gets such a high rating largely for that reason
god, I love Regis so much and unravelling the plot between Detlaff and Syanna was an absolute delight, especially when set against the beautiful backdrop of Toussaint

How is this game so good. I just don't get it. As if I didn't enjoy the main game enough, the 2 DLCs were both absolutely fantastic as well, albeit for some different reasons. This DLC capped off my playthrough of this game and I'm glad it lived up to the expectations.
Starting with the 2 major improvements this DLC had over Hearts of Stone: Toussaint and the side-quests. Hearts of Stone was set in Velen so much of it was pretty same-y looking from the main game, especially considering Velen was the place most of the base game's content took place as well. Blood and Wine took place in a totally new area, the Duchy of Toussaint, an area that had great importance from the books. Multiple of the book's characters even made appearances in this DLC. Toussaint was beautiful and it was really fun exploring completely new areas, it had felt like I was playing the game all over again in these moments. There were also a whole host of new enemies to deal with as well. One of Hearts of Stone's biggest issues for me was the lack of large and fun side quests for me to dig my hands into. Blood and Wine did not disappoint in this regard as there were dozens of really cool and unique quests that forced you into unique scenarios, with unique characters, in unique locations you would've otherwise never went to. Many of them were even a step up from the quests of the base game. Speaking of quests, I should also talk about the main quest of this DLC. While it doesn't live up to the high standards I felt the last DLC had, it was still an exciting and interesting adventure that only got better as it went on. It also ended with a fairly difficult boss fight too, which made victory feel even better. The DLCs ending was really heartwarming in general (at least it was for the ending I got), a perfect sendoff for the player by allowing them to chill in the scenery of Toussaint with their romance choice from the main game. It was just really well done.
The negatives are not really much of a problem, to be honest. Still has some of that Witcher 3 jank and the main story is probably the worst of the three throughout the game but otherwise I don't really have much to say.
It's just so so good. I absolutely recommend.

DLC of all time.

Easily one of the best expansions in gaming ever. Whether you love what the Witcher did or not for gaming, the technicality of what a great expansion should be is achieved perfectly by Blood and Wine. I can safely bargain that this expansion completely dethrones Shivering Isles as the DLC that best builds on a game both as a separate experience and as an addition to the game's lore and characters.
What i love the most is that the whole personality of the game changes when entering the world of Blood and Wine. The color pallette changes, the characters are different (french now lol) and even the writing becomes even a bit more fantastical (there are vampires even gasp!)
I wish full games nowadays could have such soul and polish as this DLC has.

После 50 часов ебаных Веленских болот и ебаных бочек на Скеллиге, даже кислотные и замыленные поля Туссента покажутся Раем небесным...
الاضافه ذي احسن من اللعبه الاصليه وبتاريخ العاب
Uma das melhores DLCs que já joguei se não a melhor, Blood and Wine é IMPECÁVEL, se você me dissesse que essa DLC era um jogo a parte eu acreditaria, Toussaint é magnifico, tive que parar para apreciar a região, é muito lindo, muda até a palheta de cores do jogo. A história magnifica, com plot atrás de plot e a parte da Terra das Mil Fábulas, a melhor missão do jogo inteiro, fiquei de simplesmente sem reação vendo os personagens dos contos, maravilhoso, encerrou maravilhosamente, se você zerou The Witcher e não jogou essa DLC, jogue, simplesmente jogue.
Only DLC better than this is CP Phantom Liberty
Although I didn't enjoy this DLC as much as Hearts of Stone, I still believe that this DLC alone is better than most games. This DLC offers a beautiful new area, filled with new creatures, quests and characters. There is a staggering amount of content, with a customizable player home, mega bandit camps, a new gwent faction, and so much more. It took me at least 40 hours to complete it all. I was a bit disappointed with the main quest in terms of length, characters' choices and potential endings. However, the vampire aspect of this DLC is some of the coolest stuff I have seen in this franchise. I am super proud of CD Projekt RED in its creation of a fitting send-off for Geralt of Rivia.
Best DLC off all time
It's the base game, but better in pretty much every regard.
Better combat and open world POIs due to better systems. The world and aesthetics look beautiful. And the the story is very often compelling with choices making a difference.
Minor technical and visual bugs do bring it down a tiny bit but it's still very worth one's time.
