We've all thought about taking vacations in our favourite game worlds, but we have to admit that we'd be hesitant to book a trip to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's setting - a land where war and famine grips the populace and peasants seem to cough up their lungs on a regular basis.
In contrast, the title's final expansion, Blood and Wine, is set in Toussaint, a location that looks downright gorgeous, and is untouched by battle. Aside from the horrific vampire attacks and no doubt alarming amount of sexually transmitted diseases, we're loving the look of this fancy European setting, which is fully revealed in the add-on's new trailer.
Okay, so maybe we're not that eager to visit Toussaint ourselves, but we're certainly looking forward to exploring this lush land as Geralt of Rivia later this month. Have a watch, and then jump on the next flight into the comments section below.

Zelda U if it was made by George RR Martin. Hyrule never looked so good.
I wonder if this would sell well as a $30 stand alone game, or has everybody but me already purchased W3?
Why does "use of alcohol" have to be listed under Rated M? I think every family comedy on TV has parents drinking beer and wine and scotch. Not to mention all of the antromorphic animal beer commercials. Alcohol is everywhere in life.
How does the DLC integrate into the game flow if you haven't started (or completed) the base game? Do you recommend beating the game first, or can I buy all the DLC and play the game as though the extra areas were just part of the original?
Ooh! Also, do these DLCs have anything like Dawnguard in Skyrim, where you actually may want to NOT buy the DLC if you don't want all the NPCs to be killed by vampires whenever you fast travel?
Drool!!! I'm still yet to complete the main story and the first expansion. Sooo looking forward to eventually playing this expansion though. Projekt red, I salute you
Looks gorgeous. Probably won't play it straight away, overwatch will consume me, but will definitely get it day one.
So hyped, really looking forward to this.
@TeslaChippie Nah, nothing like Dawnguard where it altered the main game. Blood and Wine takes place in a totally new area that isn't part of the main map.
Both this and Hearts of Stone are supposed to be played with higher level characters, so it's kind of banking on you having completed the story. That said, Hearts of Stone had an option where you could start it from the game's main menu, and it'd provide you with a level 35 Geralt who'd be ready for the DLC. You couldn't do any quests outside of the DLC if you started it this way, though. I assume Blood and Wine will have a similar option.
As for my own opinion, I'd at least recommend getting quite far in the main story and exploring the main game's world before getting involved in either expansion. Not just because you need to be a higher level, but because they're designed to be their own separate stories.
