I'm scared to buy it. I played the game when it came out and beat it but I feel like I'd be complete arse now and it's going to be very tough.

Also even though I beat the game I feel like there's a lot I didn't explore so what's the point of buying DLC? Is there a new end game boss?

Preordered this last year. I don't remember how to do anything in the game, but I feel that way every time they put out a new game so it's not a problem.

I've avoided reading anything about it other than that it's big.

lol scared isnt the word i would use but i think i know what you mean. i have completely forgotten almost every mechanic at this point. 2.5 years is a helluva lot cobwebs to dust off.

waiting to see if its worth it to try and pick it back up.

yep, I think it definitely will be. At the very least, the non-spoiler reviews i've seen are indicating that it's the best DLC that FS has ever put out and the expansion is massive. Most importantly, you are getting access to a bunch of new gear and items and spells that can then be used on subsequent playthroughs (NG+ and beyond) which adds to the replayability in a big way. They are talking about brand new character builds that can get created.

Obviously, you can't create a brand new character and have immediate access.

today is the big day. If you play on PC, you can get it this evening (6 PM EDT). If on console, it's available Midnight EDT tonight.

Just posting to ask someone to confirm my assumption that they didn’t add ultrawide support?

For some reason it's not letting me pre download it on Xbox. When I click on it , nothing happens and when I switch over to New Zealand location, it's not even showing Shadow of the Erdtree when I search for it. .

the word is that there is a boss in the DLC that makes Malenia and Orphan of Kos look like child's play in comparison lol. Good lord.

I'm playing it now. It's so good. If you are playing on Xbox, just switch your location to New Zealand and you can play it now.
