Just finished the frozen wilds, reaching level 55 by the end of it (starting from a fresh plythrough) and god damn. Well done GG.
First, the main story of the DLC is fantastic with a great emotional payoff in the end.
The side quests were also amazing, introducing some really memorable characters (although there were a bunch of quests that got a bit too repetitive and relied on the same formula too much).
Although the use of voice logs are usually hit or miss, there's one set that was really excellent for me, and reminded me how powerful these tiny bits of audio logs can be (it was almost as good as the ish side story in the Last of Us - but more fun).
It was also great that the side quests had some great gear as payoff.
Also the DLC was quite the challenge from a difficulty standpoint even on normal and even if i was a bit over levelled.
Took me about 13 or 14 hours to finish, including all activities. Now just have to do the post-DLC content after you're done with the main story.
PS bought the Carja Blazon Banuk variant, it's my favorite variant of the Carja Blazon armor.
PPS immediately noticed Emily Rose's voice lol. I couldn't unhear Elena, but it's always a voice I'm super happy to hear.
Loved the DLC, would highly recommend it to vanilla only owners. Horizon was already my GOTY, and this just separated it from the pack even more.
PPPS The Bandit fights are still by far the worst missions in the game, and the human on human combat is still pretty blah. That's still probably one of my biggest gripes in the game.
