Devs are geniuses, because with this DLC they truly give us the authentic experience of being a common medieval girl. The amount of suffering I went through only compares to how some random girl who cooked a bad dinner might have been treated somewhere around 1410.

Jokes aside, it’s trash. Not only do you return to Skalitz - which you’ve already explored during the prologue, - but for some reason a DLC about how Theresa escaped cuman attack doesn’t even start on the day of the attack, but a day before. Like… why? Henry genuinely asks her how she managed to escape, and she starts yapping about how she and Bianca went to the forest to gather some weed, did a bunch of mundane chores, went to bed, and only then woke up to their families being slaughtered.

You also don’t have a horse here. And every player who returned to Skalitz during the prologue remembers the wonderful experience of running for five straight minutes just to reach the gates. If you somehow missed that the first time - congratulations, now you get to do it again, but this time as Theresa. Very powerful meta-commentary on "A Woman’s Lot".

But when it comes to the attack itself… man. In a game where you can usually complete tasks in multiple ways, this DLC suddenly forces you down a single exact path for no apparent reason. If you don’t find the one correct route, you just fail.

It’s actually bad. Not worth it. Don’t play it.

Spoiler: Never introduce a dog companion in prologue that never makes it to the main game. Never. -10/10
