![]() ![]() However, I would still say there aren’t many different enemy types in The De Vespe Conspiracy. It seems as if Spiders took remarks about GreedFall‘s lack of enemy variety to heart. The DLC offers a new area to explore, complete with a handful of new enemies, the most distinguished of which are large, bipedal feline creatures. ![]() Lady Laurine of Morange and your party will have much to say over the course of the DLC. By going back after beating the game, the plotline involving the De Vespe family doesn’t seamlessly flow into the narrative juncture given the urgency established regarding Constantin’s actions, but you can readily return to the final phase of the game once you’ve finished things up with the expansion, so you don’t miss too much. I have to give the developers credit for this clever way that ensures even those who have already played through the title can jump into the expansion without having to start over from scratch, though you do face the possibility of being over-leveled for the DLC this way. You can start up a new game and play until you reach a particular quest in the story, or for those like me who have already finished the game, you can load your last save, and a new prompt to initiate the quest becomes available at camp. There are two ways to access the DLC once it is acquired. ![]() If you purchase or upgrade to the next-gen Gold Edition, the expansion is already included, but those who aren’t fortunate enough to access this and who already have the base game can still buy and play the DLC if they want to. Those who liked the base game will most likely find more to enjoy throughout its short duration, but those who didn’t enjoy GreedFall more than likely won’t change their opinions with this expansion. You’ll also make use of the game’s convenient fast travel mechanic often, as the expansion has you maneuver throughout many different locales. You can still craft valuable items and upgrade equipment, and there is a wide range of innate skills and talents at your disposal that you can use to tailor your gameplay experience more to your taste, just like in the base game. Combat is still a more streamlined, action-oriented affair with helpful button shortcuts. Everything I said in my review of the base game in terms of gameplay and story presentation remains unchanged here. The De Vespe Conspiracy is a true add-on to GreedFall in every sense of the word, and it fits into the game’s already established narrative as if it were a missing puzzle piece you just found hidden under a couch cushion. De Sardet and their allies soon find themselves embroiled in a game of intrigue and deceit that could very well endanger both the old and new world.Īurelia De Vespe is a major character in the expansion. Such a union could hopefully ease tensions between the two familial factions, but things are definitely not as they seem when it comes to the nefarious De Vespe family. De Sardet sets out to meet with their leader, princess Aurelia De Vespe, only to discover that she has come to the island to marry De Sardet’s cousin. De Sardet and their companions receive some troubling news during the height of their search for De Sardet’s cousin, Constantin d’Orsay: a rival, infamous noble family within the Congregation have traveled to Teer Fradee, establishing a camp on an as-of-yet unexplored area of the island. In the expansion, players continue in the role of De Sardet, the intrepid Legate of the Congregation of Merchants’ New Serene settlement. I was happy with the opportunity it afforded me to return to Teer Fradee myself, but your mileage may vary. The expansion naturally fits into the lore of GreedFall and offers more insight into the Congregation of Merchants, but it isn’t essential to help you understand or enjoy the base game either. The question is whether or not this new conspiracy makes it worth dipping your toes into GreedFall again, and the answer depends more on your fondness for the base game since the DLC doesn’t stray from the formula. Now, players have the chance to take on once more the role of a colonist from a plague-riddled old world and return to the often bewitching and dangerous Teer Fradee in the expansion The De Vespe Conspiracy. Despite some flaws, I was pleasantly surprised by the choice-heavy narrative and more action-heavy gameplay of GreedFall when the RPG came out in 2019.
