The DLC are additional story campaigns, independent of the campaigns that come with the main game. Originally posted by DrLoboto:It sounds like you might have misunderstood a bit. The portrait DLC I find rather useless unless you want to give a little extra to BD, since you can easily create your own portraits from every source you like. The only thing it has going for it is the setting, which is rare in NWN. Dark Dreams of Furiae, I thought, was not as bad as people made it out to be, it had its moments, but it was also not on the level of the other DLCs in terms of polish, length, writing and gameplay, not even much better than the average free campaigns. Wyvern Crown of Cormyr to me was an okay but somewhat forgettable story and more interesting from a technical point of view, for its innovative integration of mini games and such, and Infinite Dungeons is another interesting concept without much of a story, purely dungeon crawling. Of the other ones, I like Pirates of the Sword Coast well enough. Only buy the DLCs if you are curious about these particular stories or gameplay concepts.Īs for Darkness over Daggerford and Tyrants of the Moonsea, IMO these two are the best DLC story campaigns, and personally I do think that it's worth to get the EE versions instead of contenting yourself with the shorter and outdated free versions, even though they are enjoyable as well.

There are also countless other high quality campaigns like these, partially even with better stories or gameplay (but lower budget, so e. In general, you only need to buy the DLCs if you are interested in playing through these particular campaigns, they don't offer anything but more stories. These two campaigns can still be downloaded from the Vault for free, but the commercial DLC versions are the ultimate, extended and enhanced versions like the authors originally envisioned. After the release of the EE, the authors worked with Beamdog and made their campaigns into official DLC, as they were originally supposed to be, and they enhanced them with new music, voiceovers, new quests and other content. Two of the DLCs, Darkness over Daggerford and Tyrants of the Moonsea were supposed to be DLC back in the days but official support for them got cancelled, so the authors released them for free on the NW Vault.

They introduced some new tilesets and creatures and such, but by now most or even all of that content has been integrated into the main game for builders to work with.

It sounds like you might have misunderstood a bit.
