We all know the 2nd DLC pack is the big one - I am wondering if there will be new territory or just a new story on the existing map?

Rol, the personal insults! Maybe you could word that in such a way so as to not insult him personally...

Screw it, my job of being his bodyguard is hopeless.

...which is why I said the way it seems to be going... so far from what little we know, which is all we have...it's underwhelming. If there's no extra land to explore or new dungeons, etc. you're just paying for an arrangement not necessarily DLC which is waht I'm afraid of. The way it seems is it will take place in the same areas but just after the ending which is hardly exciting for me.

Despite the justification of "it's a big game so they can do what they want," there are clearly some bad DLC practices here. If fans don't make some noise over it now, it will only get worse in the future.

- Simple difficulty modes should either come with the game or be free additions. The Hero's Path DLC, to me, is worse, and should have been a free addition without doubt. The functionality is already in the game. It's clear that these were added to the DLC package in order to make more people buy it.

- A Season Pass is fine. Bundling DLC without an option to buy separately is not. That just plain sucks. I REALLY hope that people don't let this one go without protest. It could have a real negative effect on future DLC.

Really, the bundling thing is the big issue here. It's a bad precedent and should not be considered acceptable. Letting bad DLC practices continue is as much on the consumer as it is on the publisher. As someone who picks and chooses DLC (I don't care anything about Arena DLC, for example) I absolutely don't want bundling to become an industry standard.

If it makes it easier, pretend that EA is the one doing this.

The reasonsable course of action would be to allow people to buy separate parts separarely.  The "whole package" being worth $20 doesn't mean much if you don't want the whole package.

Is the whole package of a fries/drink/sandwich combo worth $5?  Maybe, but I sure as hell don't want to buy the whole thing if all I want is the sandwich.

That makes literally no sense.  Why would DLC pack 2 being worth $20 justify having to pay $20 if all you wanted was DLC pack 1?

In a world where thousands of people bought Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, all things are not only possible, they're probable.  

I think its ok. After all its only 1/2 of the overall DLC you paid $20 for.

I like the new side quests though simple as they are. I like the sword trial and think it has good replay-ability.

The Korok mask is awesome and if you enjoy the wide variation of outfits, this is a plus too.

I see nothing overall wrong with this DLC. On its own its definitely not worth $20, but it was never intended to be either.

People happily paid $7 for a set of Persona 5 costumes.

The market works itself out IMO.

Yeah, battlefront is an interesting case. 

I personally did not like the game. I felt it was empty, dull, and uninspired. I rented it from Redbox for a day and decided that what was there definitely wasn't worth it.

There is a certain market though, that ate it up. DLC and all. I'm going to stereotype a bit here, but I have many friends who I'd charactarize as, "bros", who think the world of that game. I know a guy who has had a PS4 since launch and has just three games. Battlefront. Black Ops III, and Madden 17. And he absolutely loves it.

So I was a bit surprised that EA felt they needed to do a big course correction for Battlefront II, given how well the first game did with it's core audience.
