I waited for it, bought it immediately and... I will be more careful next time. pros + new location + companions quests, finally! + new ending + new tricky achievements cons - you have to play BW only in Act 2 (I prefer to see a big DLC as a standalone) - dialogs and choices (or absence of them) in quests in Bastard Wound are not OK comparing to original Tyranny: the story itself is good, but the spirit is totally missed. You save bunch of ppl from murder - nobody reacts. You kill some important characters - guess what? - nobody reacts. You need some information from prisoner - and all you can do is kill for her another NPC. Oh, really? This is not a Tyranny then. - for companions quests, you need to run through all map from one small location to another and spend there 2-3 mins. that's kinda stupid. Could we have more interactions next time? - Lantry's quest is bound to Bastard's Wound location. I don't want to play all this BW again to complete his quest, it shouldn't be that mandatory. - the same Old Walls easy puzzles - no new companion
New portraits are OK, but you can find better ones by yourself. Selling them is NOT OK (I mean the initial price). It could be a pack with soundtrack and a bunch of wallpapers, but it wasn't. I bought it with the big discount and it seems that I never used any of them so far.
I really enjoyed the small additions from this DLC. The game looks more solid with them, random encounters are not only battle - you can meet some villagers, make some small decisions and get some prize, e.g. status effects which are quite valuable for battles. You should be aware that this DLC introduces more text, and all that events will start like text adventure. For me it's totally OK, as it is not needed to recreate every small scene with a 3D objects, just a description is enough. New game + feature is also cool, I waited for that and it works good. If you playing Tyranny for the first time, or you willing to try a different path - you should have this DLC. p.s. yes, all these features should be in the game from the start - but better late then never
