So like 2 weeks or something ago I finally got round to playing through this. It’s old as fu
ck by this point but whatever. I liked it the most out of the 4 DLCs, it was a lot funnier than I was expecting it to be, laughed out loud many times. I played through it on Normal since I’m a fa
ggot and prefer my shields to function like shields and not tinfoil that appears to be a shield. There were a few stupidly designed side missions like the last bits of the crumpets mission with one placed halfway up a lift where you can just barely reach it if you jump/fall perfectly. There were two side-missions I just didn’t bother with: An escort side mission early on (I know they’re generally awful but I had hopes) where you protect some tree monster while it destroys six huts, and the game throws tons & tons of enemies at you with many of them carrying bombs & if they explode anywhere near the tree it loses like 25% of its health & it doesn’t regen either. There was some long ass tower defense side-mission after finishing the main story where you gotta protect this thing through like 4-5 waves of enemies or something, after taking like 4 minutes to finish wave 1 and noticed I had several more waves, I just killed myself.
Before this there were these 5 arena challenges I had to do, but they weren’t as good as in the original game because there’s trapdoors, buzz saws, lasers, fire etc. covering like 75% of the area. There was barely any safe spots to stay at, i.e. areas with a lot of breathing room where I won’t get killed by a random hazard, cheap insta-death trapdoor & won’t get knocked in by enemies zerg rushing me. The raid boss was actually almost balanced for me doing it solo on Normal, it would’ve been if they were doing about 30% more damage since even though I was a lot higher levelled they still came close to knocking off my shield on a few occasions, the 3-4 large elemental dragons I had to kill didn’t take 5 minutes each (I think one revived itself too, or it just looked too similar to a previous one I killed so it seemed like they revive over time), they didn’t have tons of AoE moves that did too much damage (except the shock dragon. If they had an actual dodge button & I could see my character I’d shut my mouth) and they attacked one at a time (except one of the other dragons flying around will support the grounded dragon every now & then).
So yeah, really enjoyed it. I’m assuming that was the last story based DLC (not collecting the Halloween one) and it ended pretty well too.
