  Do you plan on finishing expansion as well? How do you like the game so far?

  Tap for spoiler

  For me later parts of the game were underwhelming and railroaded, also following games made everything inconsequential and small-scale. It doesn’t help that lorewise every blight before was huge and took multiple years, sometimes decades to end. While you as a hero disadvantaged every possible way, country - sparsely populated, just 20 years after the last big war, already lost one huge battle, there is low-key civil war going on; circle of magi - broken half of the people dead; dwarfs - reluctant to help; elves - there is like ten of them. Yet my party wins. First time I’ve played, there was hope that in the end we would at best win some time at worst fail completely.

    I’m planning on playing the whole series including the expansion for the first one. But my fingers are really itching for the other RPG and I don’t want to pressure me into playing the expansion. Better to play Clair Obscure in between and enjoy the expansion afterwards

      I recently played Origins and the expansion back to back. The expansion is really good, but there are some stark similarities to the main campaign, especially later on, so I would maybe recommend taking a break after the main campaign, just so the expansion feels more fresh.
