Expecting at least one LoK reference in there. Don't fuck it up CDPR.

Toussaint is a city or a castle?

I hope the main game and fist DLC get a good discount during the summer sale. I'll buy this expansion for full price if need be but $60 for a game is to much these days.

It's selling at the ~30Euro/Dollar range atm, just figured I'd mention it in case that's low enough for you. Can start with the base game + all free DLC and wait with buying the paid DLC until you finished the game and hope for a discount for the DLC.

Eh... Never heard of funstockdigital before. Also I am pretty the completionist in me cannot play the game without all the DLC. It would literally drive me crazy.

Neither have I so I understand any hesitation. Have bought at gamesplanet before though and that worked fine, if you're willing to fork over 5 more euro/dollah on the trustworthiness of a codexer. Just finished my second 100% completion binge of witcher 3 a couple of weeks ago and it took me 118 hours according to steam, of which I'd say maybe 10-15 was the expansion. And all expansion content takes place after the main game, so you can finish the game and then hope for a discounted expansion after playing the main game for 80 hours. Do your on mental arithmetic on how much time you have to play in a week and how long the main game will last you.

Mind you, it's your money so do with it what you will, just offering some advice. And odds are indeed that they'll slash the price by 75% or something to hype up the expansion.

The game actually was 50% off on GOG last month, and the base price is $50 (it's $45 for me for some reason).
Maybe wait until the expansion is released, they might do another sale then.

Mushroom forest has Morrowind vibe. I only wish it would be darker. Monster is similar to one from Dark souls in first Centipede Demon area with taurus demons around. I don't know how it's called in Dark souls.

This is almost certainly in reference to the expansion, in addition to the unique katakan you track down and fight in Novigrad. Both had a taste for the blood of drunkards (blood and wine), and wore jewelry, without any explanation being provided.

why does the expansion look so Disney?

No more Disney than Iorveth's path (Vergen) in TW2 I think. It's just stands out so much because of the stark contrast to the bleak Slavic setting we've become so used to in TW3.

The story does take place far south.

So fucking gorgeous. Yes, it is colorful. It looks exactly how Toussaint should look. I am sure it will give nice contrast to its storyline.

The one with the crown banished Dandelion from Toussaint IIRC. So he'll inevitably go there with Geralt in this expansion (CDP hinted that some of the key characters will return).
