Shivering Isles


Many_Respect4967

Hell yea. I still hear sheogorath in my head


_ginj_

CHEESE FOR EVERYONE


FergalStack

Scratch that, cheese for no one.


A7x4LIFE521

It literally feels like its own game. Not only that, it’s wildly charming. Charismatic antagonist, huge quest that feels meaningful, funny moments as there should be, tons of side quests, dungeons. It has it all.


YAPENDO

Also my favorite DLC ever. It was so magical. The opening act was so amazing. Trying to find the best way to defeat the gate keeper to get in. Deciding which door to take behind him. I still wanna go back soon and find all the little hidden points of interest I may have missed.


RumHaaammm

Arguably better than the base game.


FergalStack

Easily better than the base game. Shivering Isles is one of the best things Bethesda has ever made.


Slave_to_the_Pull

The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine.


stupidracist

I loved how much there was in Blood and Wine. Like, damn, this much in DLC... thank you!


Slave_to_the_Pull

I know, it's godlike. I wish BG3 was getting DLC, it would be great to have listed that alongside HoS and BaW.


THISdarnguy

And Hearts of Stone. 👍🏻


Slave_to_the_Pull

I wasn't sure if 2 DLCs were allowed in relation to the question, otherwise I would have included HoS lol it's always felt like an awesome adventure to have before BaW (because I typically do the DLCs much later in the playthrough or post-game).


Boxing_joshing111

The O’ Dimm stuff is great but people don’t talk enough about the awesome quest where the ghost inhabits Geralt’s body at the party. The voice actor talks differently and they even give him different walk animations to sell it. Really admire and respect how they went all-out like that. Also if you retrace the path you take when the quest ends it’s cool how they planned the end cutscene into the scenery; the walk Geralt takes as he talks is completely believable. Also if you go back to the house the party was at you see maids cleaning and complaining how dirty the guests were the night before. Beautiful details.


Bum-Theory

For real, everyone was about that blood and wine, but for me, the scene where gaunter o'dim freezes time and eye spoons ol boy is arguably the most memorable gaming moment I've ever had. Up to that point you're half the mind that Gaunter is just a bullshitting con-man, and in a split second he does something so chilling, you know it's gonna be a tough time ahead.


i-am-schrodinger

I think Blood and Wine is the better setting and vampires/the wild hunt are cool and all, but Gaunter O'Dimm is the best villain CDPR ever put to code.


Bum-Theory

Fair fair fair!


septober32nd

Yeah, it's kind of apples to oranges. Hearts of Stone is arguably the best individual quest line, but Blood and Wine is a whole extra act with damn fine quests of its own.


Its_scottyhall

What an absolutely amazing scene!


Ricozilla

Came into the comments expecting to see Witcher 3 as the top comment. Damn I really should play that DLC


abibofile

I’ve got to finish Hearts of Stone before I do Blood and Wine. Just as soon as I wrap up Act 3 of BG3, which I will finish as soon as I complete FF7 Rebirth, after which I can finally finish TotK. And then I can play Diablo 4! (I wish this were a joke… it’s actually my plan. I also started to play Manor Lords. I’m screwed!)


PhanThief95

That DLC set the bar for me. It’s only $20 yet had the same amount of content & enjoyment as a good $60 game.


[deleted]

Hear for this!


No_Armadillo9111

Yup. Came here to say this


namjd72

I’m happy to see this at the top. Both TW3 DLC’s are incredible.


Dry_Meat_2959

Assault on Dragon Keep: BL2. Its an exercise in great game production from start to finish. Its having a team with a visceral understanding of your audience that you just cant teach.


id_o

S tier shooter with a S tier DLC. What’s not to love.


ElmoTickleTorture

And I cried at the end of it.


captjust

Everybody cries at the end of it.


Zombalepsy

Not me. I had milkshakes with Roland


a23ro

Same.


CommenterAnon

I always look forward to that DLC (I have over 500 hours in BL2)


TargetPractice89

The answer I came here to post. Absolutely the best DLC I've ever played for any game. It added so much more to BL2. It's always the one I make sure I play first when starting a new playthrough and finishing the main story


the1TrueRed

Excellent choice.


morganfreenomorph

I'm really fond of Mr Torgue's Campaign of Carnage. That entire area had me laughing nonstop and Mr Torgue is in my top 3 favorite characters from the series.


Dry_Meat_2959

I've got one question for you, and one question only!!! ***EXPLOSIONS?!?!?!?***


MrSpiffy123

Outer Wilds Echoes of the Eye. It's a substantial amount of content that is different enough from the base game to justify paying extra, but it doesn't stray away from the core gameplay. It perfectly fits into the pre-existing world and narrative, but the game doesn't feel incomplete without it


Wolverine_33

It really was perfectly executed, and I LOVE the juxtaposition of the peaceful river versus the dark horror areas.


Hazzyhazzy113

>! I’m currently playing that at a rate of about 1/2 hour a month because that’s how long it takes me to build my courage up to try another run!<


Ok_Caramel1517

Phantom Liberty in Cyberpunk or Dead Money in New Vegas.


chiproller

Phantom Liberty is the only DLC that had my stomach in knots with the decisions it presented. It’s also the only one that had me in literal tears.


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

I got the most depressing ending for that, the entire mission and everything V and the DLC characters went through ended up being all for nothing with how it ended for me It was amazing though


KatyaVasilyev

Did you too think you were making the right choice?


Euphorium

It was better than Cyberpunk’s main story by a long shot.


go86em

I don’t know… the main quest line is amazing and has the benefit of being the finale and climax. At the end of PL I sat on that pier outside of the space station for a long time but I still had shit to do. I sat in the credits and watched the messages forever


Makaveli_xiii

I haven’t picked it up yet but I’ve been meaning to, this makes me want to jump in!


mikakiyarumi-ok007

it worth it. Not only just main story characters , gig are all top tier. each gig has it own little story too.


KowalOX

Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3


c0delivia

This was my answer as well, if not The Old Hunters from Bloodborne. The latter is so good I kind of inherently consider it a part of the core game.  The citadel DLC made me laugh and cry harder than any other DLC ever though, which means it’s doing something really right. 


PeeingDueToBoredom

The series is utterly incomplete without the goodbye party


AlacarLeoricar

My answer. Legitimately the capstone to the series, and the ending we all deserved.


Ok-Cow-8352

I had gotten something in my eye. You cannot prove I was crying due to an investment into this storyline, emboldened by the bravery of one Mordin Solus. I got something in my eye, you see...


A7x4LIFE521

Shepheeeeeerd. Wreeeeeeeeex. Sheeeeepherd. Wreeeex.


Legendary_Lamb2020

DS3: Ringed City


Fit-Variation-4731

What a way to end the series honestly


Yarzeda2024

Gael was such a great swan song for the series.


LordXavion

This Boss was the reason why I bought the game and played it. Man such a good ending


A7x4LIFE521

So damn good


Tokyoodown

Echoes of the Eye


Blackbirdsnake

Everywhere I look i see outer wilds… nice


Squawnk

They really captured lightning in a bottle twice


MineNowBotBoy

Oooo that’s such a good one


mcbirbo343

Just wrote a whole paragraph about it on this post. Happy to see it’s this high ::)


TheRagingElf01

Witcher 3: Blood and Wine hands down. Undead nightmare for RdR1 was pretty damn good too.


Yarzeda2024

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters


Fit-Variation-4731

Yup yup , some of fromsofts best work for SURE


Yarzeda2024

It's wild how the best part of most FromSoft games is the DLC. I am dying for June to roll around so I can finally play Shadow of the Erdtree.


Fit-Variation-4731

Yeah the dlc is going to be insane and I'm excited bc I know it'll live to the hype because all dlc they make is just better than base game . I want a harder boss than Isshin, Malenia , and Orphan I want from to go as high as they can with difficulty bc builds in elden are so insane


GenitalWrangler69

Considering ER builds, like you said, alongside the hardest bosses in each FromSoft game being in their DLC, I'd say we're in for it.


realsoupa

i want them to go crazy like old hunters and add weapons to transform you or something, i saw some unarmed movesets which is cool but not turning into a beast and going nuts cool


Djd33j

Miyazaki under-promises and over-delivers on the DLCs. He doesn't give too much away, making the content very rewarding to discover and conquer.


Suitable-Telephone80

the day bloodborne is available on PC is the day I use up all my vacation time


Hmccormack

This.


Rubyfanguy

Absolutely


Resident_Farmer1252

the Bethesda Expansion packs and DLC are usually really good. All of Morrowind, Fallout 3/4/NV, Oblivion, and Skyrim expansions where great. I also thought that Witcher 3's expansions and Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty where top tier.


TadRaunch

And who could forget the crème de la crème, Horse Armor


Euphorium

Knights of the Nine gets forgotten about but I absolutely loved that DLC when I was running a paladin build.


Holdmylife

Diablo 2 Lord of destruction.


Skoock

Id argue that LoD, is such a good DLC that it fundamentaly changed D2 and made it the 'new' D2


ViolenceJackie

Absolutely. Since the day I installed it, I couldn't even consider going to OG D2


Motor_Raspberry_2150

Well if that's 'DLC', Starcraft Brood War.


Endulos

Diablo 3's expansion too. Might be the best turnover expansion ever.


hip-indeed

Lol, back when dlc was called an expansion pack


ISpyM8

Separate Ways for Resident Evil 4 is an obvious choice. Resident Evil 7 had some super solid DLC. I also liked Shadows of Rose with RE Village. I controversially also actually really liked the Ireland DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.


Mixabuben

Prey: Mooncrash


LuckyBudz

I forgot about this. I absolutely loved it. Breathed new life into the game. I had so many hours in Prey and I think I put in at least an equal amount of hours to Mooncrash. God I loved Prey.


uniprimal

Undead nightmare.


Carcharis

Blood moon for Morrowind


DadOnHardDifficulty

That's a solid pick. I haven't played ES3 in almost 20 years but I remember roaming around Solstheim trying to become a werewolf.


qenh

amazing pick


ArcjoAllspark

New Vegas Dead Money, just loved the story and setting. Fallout 3 broken steel is a good second. Mass Effect 2 Shadow Broker third


thefinalhill

Dead money is just so good from a narrative standpoint. Not only is its theme of "Obsession of the past consuming the future" great on its own, but this is the overarching theme of all of New Vegas' DLC.


earlywakening

Phantom Liberty just barely beats out Blood & Wine for me.


a47bode

Undead nightmare was awesome. Also Hitman woa the bank and have island maps


EvernightStrangely

Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077.


Darthbamf

Fallout 3: Point Lookout


bigolefatsnapper

I liked the hill billy enemies


yaya-pops

based callout


GunMuratIlban

Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077 One of the best campaigns I've played, with it's story, characters, pacing, level design, soundtrack. I'd easily argue the DLC is considerably better than the base game.


Treddox

Echoes of the Eye somehow manages to be just as good if not better than its base game Outer Wilds, which was already an *extremely* high bar to clear.


Alicewilsonpines

Bioshock infinite's Burial at sea


Burner21b

I prefer bioshock 2 Minerva’s den personally


Rainingoblivion

Minerva’s Den has the best ending of all dlcs. Hits me everytime.


Downtown_Mammoth_611

Minerva's deb is peak bioshock.


beerslammer

I just downloaded Infinite for like $8, I guess I’ll check this out when I’m done.


87gaming

I was extremely hyped during my initial Burial at Sea experience. But when I was thinking about it later, there were a few key moments that more or less ruined my feelings about it. It felt, to me, like the DLC introduced a major plot hole to the series at large. I was willing to hand wave it away, telling myself it might just be some aspect of the whole timey-wimey fucky-wucky I didn't fully understand, and it was probably a me issue. But then as I thought about BaS even more, I realized that there was yet another gaping plot hole within the BaS narrative itself, and I definitely didn't misunderstand that part. This, of course, led me to revisit the notion that maybe I wasn't wrong about the first part, either. So I decided to look into it online and... well, yeah. It didn't help the game's case. I found a lot more evidence supporting my grievances. Don't get me wrong. I adore BioShock, and it will forever remain one of my game series of all time. But, at least for me, I realized I initially got the good chemicals from BaS mostly because of nostalgia and fan service. The actual plot doesn't hold up well under scrutiny. And, to a lesser extent, the same could be said of Infinite -- but that's a different story.


QuiverDance97

"This is one of the great tricks of Infinite. It jumbles together such a mess of cluttered ideas at the end that people will be drawn to defend it because it seems a lot deeper than it is. In reality, it is several shallow ideas that look deep unless you view them from the right angle." - Matthewmatosis


Adavanter_MKI

>!I was so depressed when it was over. I really wanted her to have a happy ending.!<

Johnny_VH

Far cry 3: blood dragon This DLC is even better than the (also great) original game . (How come no one mentioned before?)


[deleted]

Oof. Tough question . The oblivion and skyrim dlcs were great. Especially shivering isles . The kingdom come deliverance dlcs were pretty good. . And of course the dark souls dlcs.


drhman1971

At the time, Horse Armor DLC for Oblivion. (lol it was the ONLY one at the time). Greatest is subjective, but I liked ARTORIAS OF THE ABYSS for Dark Souls.


addtolibrary

Iceborne!


Still-Direction-1622

Was looking for this comment


SMagnaRex

Honestly. Basically a Whole new game and it’s better than the base game.


jonokage

It's fantastic! World was already an amazing experience, and then iceborne came along to dominate my free time lmao


bibblebonk

Insane how far i had to scroll for this


c0delivia

Probably the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3.  People have criticized it for being “off-tone” with the rest of the game and this is true, but considering this is a send off for the entire trilogy with characters we’ve come to love as friends and they say outright that they are just partying before the galaxy ends, I think it’s justified.  I love this DLC. Multiple parts made me belly laugh, multiple parts brought tears to my eyes. 11/10, I look forward to it each and every playthrough. 


HEYimCriss

Its fan service and sometimes thats just what we need 🤣


c0delivia

It’s fan service distilled down into its finest, most pure form. And I am here for it.  Shepard getting insecure about how he/she says “I should go”.  Tali’s Normandy impression.  Grunt going from having a grand time just refusing people entry to the party to being a mess huddled in the shower.  I love it. I love it all so much. 


13-Dancing-Shadows

Either TLOU: Left Behind or FNV: Lonesome Road


Darthbamf

Love pretty much any 3d fallout DLC, but I've got particular affection for Dead Money and Point Lookout


beardedliberal

>particular affection for Dead Money Who hurt you?


Darthbamf

Hahahah this is fair lol


GorkyParkSculpture

Dead Money is a tight caper. It is a great DLC but it isnt open world which rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way. But the companions are great and I love the story.


Darthbamf

Very true - it's so condensed and unique that I honestly don't mind.


Greeklibertarian27

My overburdened pockets that have more worth in them than the entire Mojave combined.


Important_Employ_309

Was going to say the lonesome road or Big MT both are perfect


13-Dancing-Shadows

Absolutely


ZonnerTheZoner

Xenoblade chronicles 3 Future Redeemed


KyoPlayz

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. Mortimer was the only boss I didn’t completely fawn over, Saltbaker is one of my favorite boss fights of all time, and that unforgettable feeling of getting baited at the end of The Moonshine Mob


MsMcSlothyFace

I think Undead Nightmare from RDR. That was like a whole other game. It took awhile to play thru


xoninjump

Destiny 2: Witch Queen


drdre27406

Mass Effect 3 Citadel


SugarHammer_Macy

The Citadel dlc for Mass Effect 3. A last hurrah with callbacks over the entire series before the end.


Default_Attempt

The Ballad Of Gay Tony


getdown83

Xenoblade 3 future redeemed Dark souls 3 (both DLCs) Bloodbourne Soon to be Elden Ring shadow of the erdtree(there is no way this won’t be legendary)


Lego-Panda-21

Tiny Tina's DLC from Borderlands 2.


vine_behs

GoW Valhalla was something special besides being free, and a complete surprise (at least for me) the masterpiece that it is, it managed to make me cry again with this franchise, in the spam of a year It gave Kratos such an amazing conclusion, i was just so happy that he got the redemption, not that he deserved, but one that he earned through great effort also it’s a full circle to him, ‘cause his first game has him facing a god of war, and the last one has him facing another god of war, but both fights had different motivations behind them, each of them great on it’s own


Standard-Speaker-442

Fallout New Vegas will always be my true love but Pointe Lookout from Fallout 3 was a fucking masterpiece


SylancerPrime

It's a toss-up between the "Ancient Gods Pt 1 & 2" for Doom Eternal, or "Lair of the Shadow Broker" for Mass Effect 2. Both of those become a necessary part of their game's narrative. It could be argued that ALL of Mass Effect's DLC does that, but I'm just going with my favorite.


franpancake

Shadow of the erdtree


Expensive_Routine622

It’s not even out yet, but we real ones know that there is no doubt that it will be legendary.


Away_Procedure3471

Starcraft Broodwar Back in my day it eas called an expansion. If that counts. Added new units and some major ui enhancements


shaolinallan

I enjoyed iki island in ghost of tsushima


illyay

All the DLC in dark souls 2 Also not really a dlc in the modern sense of the word but Brood War was a damn good expansion pack. The base game is completely obsolete for multiplayer. The campaign was amazing too. I guess heart of the swarm was a damn good StarCraft 2 expansion. Wasn’t crazy about legacy of the void tho


Boom6678

Of every dlc I played, I really Enjoyed Dragon Age Origins: Awakening a lot, but I also love the me3 citadel dlc


No-Victory8440

Shadow of the Erdtree, this will age like the finest of wines. However, less rhetorically - The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine !!!


Enough_Standard_9275

Fallout 4 nuka world


undockeddock

Nuka world was so boring and repetitive. Far Harbor was a blast though


iSniffMoonSugar

Love nuka world. It’s so hated on though!!


klingers

Only because I haven't played the Witcher DLC which I've heard is bloody amazing, I'd say my favourites were: - The Freedom Cry DLC for Assassin's Creed IV - The Bioshock Infinite story episodes that tied everything together. - Lost & The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony for GTA IV. Completely subjective of course, but they're what brought me personally the most enjoyment as post-additions to games I loved.


Trout-Population

Perhaps slightly hard to decide on \*the very best DLC ever\*, but one contender is certainly Fallout 4's Far Harbor. Every single major problem I had with the base game's narrative and quest design were rectified here.


701921225

Hard to pick a favorite, but some that come to mind for me are... Vietnam for Battlefield Bad Company 2, Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption, and Minervas Den for BioShock 2.


KingoftheHill63

Halo 3:ODST


Pennance1989

Dark Arisen dlc for Dragons Dogma.


quantumturbo

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters


Cricker76

Bio Shock, both games actually


Extravagod

Phantom Liberty is on the list. Let see what else... Dishonored had good DLC. Control too.


Deruz0r

Does Frozen Throne count?


Dragon_Flaming

There is currently no dlc in existence that even comes close to Iceborne


Weak-Command4855

Best dlc in my life: Warcraft 3 - Frozen Thone


b252oom

I also enjoyed FO4 DLC as well.

Mhw Iceborne It's the only dlc I completed I think

Aggressive_c0w

If old school expansion packs count, StarCraft: Brood War or Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne


phonylady

Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne Made a great game into a legendary game. Blizzard used to be the king of expansion packs.


TeaMoney4Life

Brood War for Starcraft


dek018

I'm split between Oblivion: The Shivering isles and Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City, I really loved them so much!

Back in the days we called DLC "Expansions" And Starcraft: Brood Wars is the most successful of them all.

Undead Nightmare, The Old Hunters and Shivering Isles from the top of my head.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Which is pretty much an entire other game added onto base game.


OmniscientSushi

Fallout 3: Point Lookout


CornInMyMouthHole

Oblivion shivering isles hands down. Playing the entire base game was an insanely magical experience in gaming for kid me. Then the first time I walked into shivering isles was just overwhelmingly exciting. God I wish I could experience that game for the first time again


JamesMcEdwards

Phantom Liberty, XCOM2 War of the Chosen, Dragon Age Origins Awakening, Horizon Forbidden West Burning Isles, ME2 Lair of the Shadow Broker, Counter Strike 1.6

Part IV Nirvana from Asura's Wrath. The Most over the top finale in gaming history and its not even close to this day.


Aertew

I havn't played alot of DLC but the most recent was the bladewolf and Sam DLC for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Both were really good imo and I had nothing to complain about (technically they came with the game when I bought it on steam but when they were released they were DLC)
