Ashes of Ariandel is a great short DLC that doesn't include anything that it doesn't need and follows through with an amazing final boss. The DS3 Base game was amazing, and it was hard to imagine how this DLC could seem on par; however, that was proved wrong quickly after experiencing the initial atmosphere and setting. My favourite part of this DLC, I think, were the interactions with the NPCs and their dialogue. I'm not quite sure why they felt different compared to the base game, but they seemed as if they spoke with more purpose, which added to the immersion.
