10 expansions that were better than the actual game
Bigger isn't always better. Except for sometimes when it is.
Ten expansions that surpassed their original games include Dishonored's The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches, an expansion that introduced a voiced protagonist, Michael Madsen's Daud, and the Blink power's timestop element. In Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Dark Crusade, the campaign expanded to include factions like the Necrons and Tau, along with proper recall of structures, enhancing the overall experience.
The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's The Shivering Isles revitalized the game by adding new landmasses, bizarre architecture, and a unique culture ruled by the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath. Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC provided a fitting send-off for Shepard and the crew, featuring a party scene and downtime zone for companions, contrasting the actions of the main game.
Fallout: New Vegas' Old World Blues expansion brought back the game's 1950s B-movie sci-fi humor, setting the players in the Big MT with mad scientists and robotic scorpions. Lastly, Borderlands 2's Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep offered a diversion from the main game's fast-paced action, allowing players to engage in a D&D-like story with comedic elements and a deeper understanding of the villainous Handsome Jack.
