10 Video Games Whose Best Ending Was In DLC

4. Blood and Wine - The Witcher 3

CD Projekt RED owes its success to The Witcher, and to Geralt as a character. So when they decided to close the book on their version of Geralt once and for all in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, they went above and beyond to make it as great a send of as they could. While the base ending is great at doing that in its own right, the true ending to The Witcher lies in the final DLC for the game: Blood and Wine.

Blood and Wine sees Geralt being sought out by the Duchy of Toussaint to handle a large beast that has been roaming the land and slaughtering anyone it finds. Geralt agrees to help, unaware of the political muck he's about to go wading into.

While not the best of the expansions in terms of story (that's still Hearts of Stone by a mile) what sets Blood and Wine apart is, well, the fact that this is the last CD Projekt RED Witcher story. There is a sense of finality to everything going on in Blood and Wine, it's no wonder that this expansion is typically the last thing Witcher fans do in the game.

From Geralt getting his own estate in which he can finally set down some roots, to an ending scene that - without spoiling - is a brilliant send off to the viewer from Geralt. Blood and Wine is about as perfect a bookend to Geralt's story as we could have gotten.
