The story for both parts of the DLC are amazing. The first part is about Theresa’s experience in Skalitz. The second is about helping Johanka.
Theresa’s half
So this is the first part of the DLC you can experience. You play as Theresa in skalitz the day before up to when she calls Runt a goat f’er.
The story is amazing and puts you into the perspective of how much worse it probably was for a woman experiencing the raid compared to how Henry did. The cutscenes are brutally beautiful and heart wrenching.
The gameplay is the most annoying part of the DLC because you go from a likely moderately leveled Henry to playing as Theresa who can barely hold a sword up but is kinda ok with a bow. The game doesn’t do a good job telling you that the quest is a roughly 1.5-2.5 hour series of quests that you have complete before you return to Henry.
However, most of the issues people have with it can be resolved or even minimized by doing some preparation before the raid starts. Like in the prologue time doesn’t advance so you have all the time in the world. You can level up her combat skills to a half decent level and collect bandages or even marigold before you need it.
My advice get some groschen (same ways Henry can) buy or find bandages and marigold (the plant not the potion). Then use the archery range to level up your bow skill to however high you want , and find some poison. After the raid begins there will be a dead guard behind Theresa’s house with a sword use the sword and just stab don’t swing. That plus your bow will be plenty as long as you still try to be sneaky. That being said there are still some slightly annoying parts but nothing any worse than other quests you do as Henry.
That being said there are also multiple guides on how to complete this part of the DLC quickly. I still like doing this part of the story because I like the shield you can get from it and it serves as a nice break point for me to go back and kinda see how far Henry has come from the prologue.
Johanna’s half
Apparently most people haven’t gotten to this part because they hate the first half of the DLC so I’ll include less details to avoid spoilers because this is a truly amazing series of side quests that you get to enjoy. You play as Henry and are trying to help Johanka. It captures the same level of investigation and detail as some of the quests from the main story. As always there are multiple outcomes from this half of the DLC and highly recommend it.
With all of this I am extremely excited to play KCD 2 in a few weeks and hope that anyone who is playing the first game enjoys it all as much as I did.
