Who else found the Gun Manor DLC disappointing

[blekaa94]

WoL is one of my favorite games but the Gun Manor DLC was a letdown .. it turned from a narrative exploration-focused RPG to a point and click game .. and not a particularly interesting one.. it has these annoying puzzles that many point and click games are known for.. not the puzzles with evolving interesting patterns, but the ones that force you to comb the whole area over and over until some item clicks with another and initiates a series of steps until i stop again and have to re-comb the whole area for the next clue ..
The volume of writing and jokes was way down in the DLC and substituted by the tedious puzzles, and the RPG adventure just dissipated..
And note that i'm not saying the dlc was bad by any means, i'd give it 7.5, but it's much, much weaker than the main game

I thought it was great. The fights were challenging (at least in hardmode), the good ending is satisfying and rewarding, the jokes are on point, and the writing was top notch as always. The only "stupid point and click adventure" type of solution that I had to look up was killing the chili.

I think it is definitely much more self-contained than the main game, and if that's not your preference then you may have disliked it by comparison, but I didn't mind it at all personally.

I found the gameplay in the DLC more engaging than the base release. Gun Manor gave us a complex and interconnected - but right-sized - environment, which framed the puzzles and narrative cleanly and intelligently. Puzzle sprawl was a real problem in the base game and led to a disjointed series of stories overlapping each other haphazardly without an captivating arc to pull it all together.

The dialogue writing and general cultural references (which were superb in WoL) were a notch behind the original game, I found. Not sure if there was a different writer behind the DLC, but there were fewer blrood and "milk, milk, lemonade" moments in Gun Manor. Those are a critical part of what makes WoL what it is, and they were a bit lacking in this latest addition.

I found it a great expansion to the base game but the lack of an ending with Florence was a bit disappointing.

Not me. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the music was amazing, even better than the main game.

It wasn't quite as inspired as the original game, but still worth playing.

Oh, if only Doc Alice would've been here to destroy a necromancer that is you.

There's special interactions/ dialogue if you become the necromancer?

Yes, actually.

(Exempt from https://westofloathing.fandom.com/wiki/Doc_Alice)
- Doc Alice will leave the player if they take over the Necromancer at the Necromancer's Tower. This will also contribute to a bad ending. (You have a chance to back out.)

- If you allow her, Doc Alice will kill the Necromancer at the Necromancer's Tower.
