Best DLC?

[McAinslay]

I own all three DLC's, but I'd like to know which one you think is the best, or gives the most bang for your buck. For me it's definitely the bad seed. The biomes are beautiful and unique, the items are fun and the boss is a good challenge.

From 4/5 bsc player atm. in descending order of importance in gameplay terms

Rise of the Giant - Сaverns kinda meeeh, which are better not to go if you dont know what and why. unpleasant Astrolab which cannot be entered except at maximum difficulty aka 5 bsc. excellent two bosses (one only for 5 bsc) and a ton of item recipes. excellent and must have dlc, also free
Fatal Falls - nasty Fractured Shrines due to their biome structure, very dangerous 100% spawnchance cursed chest, but all kinds of vendors, including food. Undying Shores is one of the best locations in game right now. small, relatively simple, ton of scrolls and two vendors with items of highest levels (like in Caverns). boss is very good but sometimes bugged. few items, one uberbugged ( serenade ), one immediately became meta (claws), the rest is mediocre
Bad Seed - disgusting Arboretum in any cases, great Morass of the Banished that unfortunately leads to a terrible boss with no option to choose others. very fun to play items in recipes drop. bad dlc after all, currently only needed for new items

It’s not really fair to compare Rise of the Giant to the other two, since it’s more of an expansion that finished the game, so I’ll ignore it in terms of "best dlc".

That being said, I believe Fatal Falls is the best one. It offers more items compared to Bad Seed, there’s a lot of story implications, especially for a future hinted DLC, the areas themselves have rather unique enemies, although so did Bad Seed, and the music of Fractured Shrines and Undying Shores are both just superb. Overrall they’re both excellent, but if you want to buy over the other I'd say go for Fatal Falls.

Hard to compare Bad Seed and Fatal Falls to Rise of the Giant since that one's just too massive yeah. In my opinion I believe I enjoyed Bad Seed more however it's for mainly one reason, being that the second and third biomes are kind of the weakest ones in my opinion. Arboretum is probably the only second biome I like and while all third biomes aren't bad I only thoroughly enjoy Morass and Ramparts. However the midgame biomes are pretty much all fantastic in my opinion (Graveyard's probably the weakest but it's not terrible), so I feel like Bad Seed was more needed while Fatal Falls probably has better content overall.

talking about midgame biomes though can we please make stilt village longer
