  More innovative side quests, a little more work to fill out some of the settings like Stalwart, and a main plot that either tied into the main storyline or offered a noteworthy change of pace could have made this expansion something memorable. Even though it gives you a chance to revisit one of the best RPGs in years, The White March Part 1 ultimately feels like a missed opportunity to expand that greatness into new territory.

  The White March is fine. It’s no Throne of Bhaal or Tales of the Sword Coast, but it’s a reasonably entertaining chunk of new quests, and a nice change of scenery. You’ll return from the frosty White March with quality loot in your stash, mountains of experience points, and two new weirdos to adventure with, but not many great tales to tell around the campfire. I’m not sure what Part II of the DLC will entail, but hopefully it has a more compelling story to accompany its dungeon-crawling.

  If, for some reason, the 50-100 hours of content in Pillars of Eternity were not enough for some people, The White March Part I will fulfil their needs. However, "expansion" seems like too generous a word for what it is. "Expansion" implies branching out into new territory; all this DLC does is cycle back for another lap in the same territory. Pillars of Eternity's flaws, as few in number as they were, are a lot more noticeable when they are not accompanied by some amount of novelty or narrative import.

  Fortunately, a couple of interesting new faces to add to your party, some great loot, and a few truly brutal combat challenges are enough to make The White March Part One worth your while. It’s not essential, and not close to the best that Obsidian is capable of, but it’s another perfectly enjoyable few hours of looting and adventuring.

  Centrándonos en White March, hay que destacar un diseño de encuentros más imaginativo, con algunas situaciones tácticas más interesantes y trabajadas que muchos de los encuentros vistos en la campaña principal. En resumidas cuentas, una valiosa incorporación y un buen punto y aparte para el juego principal, que se consolida como uno de los mejores RPG que puedes experimentar este 2015.

  Se centra demasiado en los combates, y esto puede no ser del agrado de todo el mundo, pero ahí sigue la exploración, los diálogos y la libertad para hacer lo que nos venga en gana en un gélido y bello mundo de fantasía que sorprende por su espectacular acabado artístico. Así que si te gustó Pillars of Eternity, hay pocos motivos para no hacerse con esta expansión.
