Apparently, the DLC is a challenge even for seasoned players, so they added difficulty levels to give casual players a fighting chance. I think it's now also an option in the base game.

They really picked the dumbest time possible to remove this from Game Pass. If it was still on there, I'd buy the DLC even at its rather steep price tag, but there's no way in hell I'm buying the whole package when I've already beaten the base game.

Hell yea. Lies of Me was already (imho) harder then most parts of souks game. Will enjoy this challenge when I'm finished with NR.

Judging by the impression from seasoned players, this looks very promising. Elites 2-shot you, and most other trash mobs 3–4-shot you. No wonder they added difficulty levels. I'm gonna get my ass handed to me with my NG+3 character.

Impression from an experienced player:emoji_grin:
I breezed through the base game, the most I died to a single boss was laxasia at 7 deaths. I beat Nameless in 3 attempts.
This ice elephant killed me more times than any boss in the base game. And the 2nd boss is insanely tough.
And I love it.

Fantastic DLC, man what a dark story. I did a fresh playthrough up to and including Laxasia, then went in and really didn't feel a huge difficulty spike from base game...until the last boss. Duoed him with
Lea
for lore purposes, now doing another playthrough and will attempt solo. Pain incoming.

I haven't played it myself yet, but a fresh playthrough seems pretty doable according to what people are saying. I think the Legendary Stalker difficulty on NG+1 or higher is where it really starts to get tough.

How's Overture? Worth $30? HLTB says it's about a 12 hour runtime which is nice and bite-sized, yet seems low for the price. Might get it when I have time.

Liked the main game a lot, going to try the DLC on the normal difficulty and see how that goes. I think I blew all my consumables on the final boss, lol

I am having a blast with the DLC. May my verbage indicate my age(50) somehow. Went in NG+ chapter 5, after the patch (so far easy peasy NG+). I only know the default difficulty. And I forgot all the controls, but the normal process of figuring out controls, and maybe leveling a few times by pure accident mind you. Great experience so far. This morning made it to the first health bar boss. I dont see myself lowering the difficulty, purely for the challenge. What else is there?
