A lot of fun lore and interesting maps to explore. The bosses were also really fun. Not the best DLC out of the 3, but not the worst either.

I highly recommend this DLC alongside the main story of PoE2* for the following reasons... a) the STORY and LORE intelligently and profoundly integrate with PoE1 and PoE2. It does not only give a new perspective on the followers of the god Rymrgand, it gives deeper insights on what happened in PoE1, PoE2 and what Eothas is doing... b) the combat offers some challenge, well for my characters using medium armor or less (I played level 20, veteran, Critical Path upscale). c) the animations and visuals are rather beautiful. COMPANIONS : I used Vatnir (priest of Rymrgand) and Ydwin (animancy researcher) as they both have special reactions in this adventure. * IMPORTANT : you should play this side adventure *before* doing the last chapter of the main quest. In fact, if you end the main quest, all other quests are locked out (requires you use a save to do them). So do this DLC before ending the game: the DLC story fits really nicely anyhow. TIME : it took me about 15 hours, though some claim to have done it in 6.

Good DLC for Deadfire. It adds a new island with a couple of side-quests and a pretty extensive main questline, along with new loot and enemies. This isn't a full-fledged expansion, so it doesn't add any new companions or increase the level cap but it's a good 5-10 hours of content (depending on your difficulty setting). It also expands the lore and gives you more insight into important historical figures. Overall, Beast of Winter is a well-designed and well-written addition that should appeal to anyone looking for more Deadfire.

Amazing DLC for 2018's Game Of The Year. Pillars 2 improved in every aspect from the first game and now this wonderful, well made expansion is amazing to. Not only is there a great paid expansion today for PIllars 2 but we also get a free DLC and a HUGE update to the base game. Well done Obsidian, keep up the great work!
