Short but nice

This addon gives you a bit more of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but not much. You start at level 5 (which is nice to test some builds that need a few levels to work), but at level 7 it's already over. Maybe you can make it to 8, if you face every possible encounter. I ended up with 6.5 hours of playtime. Varn and his old friend do great roleplay, which makes the campaign feel more alive. There are three more pregenerated characters, but they are not interactive at all and they depend heavily on resting (mediocre defense, mediocre damage output, reliance on spells). The resting dependance totally backfires in the final dungeon - which is big, dangerous and with no way out but forward. I ran out of food due to resting and had to switch to story mode to finish - which kind of killed the relevance of the final battle. Overall, the addon pretty much feels like the original game: Interesting characters, challenging battles and a decent story. On the other hand, it's highly linear and lacks the kingdom feature completely. Can't remember any bug in version 1.3.1, just a few translation quirks (German version).

It's okay.

This DLC isn't too bad. The story is kind of interesting. The content is pretty short. I finished it in about 7 or so hours and I was taking my time. The companions you get kind of suck which makes the last dungeon annoying. All in all I'd recommend it if you can get it at about half price. I don't think it's worth the 15 CAD I paid for it.

Do not buy this. Do not play this.

What starts out as a fun miniature side story looking into the Eastern stolen lands becomes a terrible death march as you are forced into an hours long dungeon you can't retreat from or rest in. This would be almost tolerable if the dungeon itself wasn't a teleporter maze filled with almost exclusively disguised enemies that will attack you whether or not you spring their disguise first. I understand this is the point. Madness. Whimsy. The chaos of the Fey. It's not fun. This is not a fun DLC to play. Other people have mentioned turning on story mode during the final dungeon to mitigate the difficulty and tedium. I would describe this as entirely necessary. The positives don't outweigh the negatives, don't waste your time or money.

Safe to skip, or buy on sale.

Showcases the story from Baron Varn's perspective - the guy who won his noble title at the same time as you. The story is decent, I won't spoil it, but I found the clash of realpolitik cynicism vs idealism refreshing. Cephal was a breath of fresh air and it's a shame that he did not survive in main game. My only issue is that you don't get to learn how Vordekai managed to overrun the barony, as Main game's big bad highjacked the story in the final dungeon. In terms of actual gameplay, this is where it all drags it down for me. The encounters are way overtuned. The first main battle in this game is against a band of Goblins who have an alchemist in their ranks. His bombs one shot most of your party except for your tank, who ends up dying in 2 hits. It's managable once you figure out that you need to buff, resistence and all that, but it's still too strong for a first encounter. The "boss" of goblin-zone is a joke compared to his minion, which thematically is very lame. You will notice that this continues on, as on the next map, you will face creatures that are sometimes twice your level, who sometimes can get lucky crits and 1shot your tank! As if that isn't enough, General, Varn and Cephal can't die or it's game over, and a lot of creatures in this game are capable of 1shotting them. It actually got so bad that I decided to give Varn a crossbow and let him sit in the back to prevent reloading. Fortunately there's no time limit, so what I ended up doing is using all my buffs on each difficult fight and then spam rest to get a new one. It gets better once you level up to 7-8, but 5-6 is an absolute slog. The frustrating low point is that you end up losing both Varn and Cephal, and thus only have 4 companions to clear out the final dungeon. Have someone else to cover for trickery and lore skills, otherwise you'll miss some loot/xp. The items that carry over to main game do not justify the effort. With more development and vision could have been 5/5. Too bad.

Good and fun DLC

It's fun, maybe a little short but otherwise good. I had a lot of fun playing through it.
