Void shadows is a 10/10 dlc
My unorganized thoughts
This dlc has so much content that interweaves so well into the main story, that if it was your first playthrough you’d prob think it was all just the base game.
The story was phenomenal and interesting, I love the direction they went with the gene stealer cults and I really liked the mission where you had to investigate as kibella it was cool seeing the world from her eyes.
The 2 new archetypes are amazingly fun and owlcat has outdone themselves when it comes to combat animations, the blood, the flips and spins it’s all great!
My ONLY gripe was in act 4 you’re kinda on a timer before a difficult section of the game comes up and if you didn’t upgrade straight out of act 3 you might be stuck with weaker gear.
If you are wondering if you should hop in now I’d say 100% yes, I had 1 bug the whole play-through and played as heretical (points are much easier to get now with more opportunities for them).
Thanks owlcat for your hard work
TLDR: game is great right now. dlc enhances the base game and further dives into the fantasy of being a rogue trader
Edit: I would also do this with a new game, there is so much new content getting through it and leveling organically feels great

Owlcat finally figured out the DLC template they need going forward. I don't want separate stories or a new game mode(looking at you Pathfinder) Give me this and I'll buy it every time.
It'd be fine with a rogue like mode as a seperate story like in wrath of the righteous, especially if that'd allows is to create our own eldar and stuff
I'm on my way to defend my palace from the dark eldar raid and I 'my just missing 1 level in my second archetype.
The dlc is providing way too much xp it's crazy. I don't know what kind of difficulty there could be (I'm playing in hard and thinking about increasing the difficulty again).
Yeah after the dlc ends the rest of the game is kinda smooth sailing, the act 4 dlc content is the hardest currently in the game imo. Will prob change with future runs. But pskyers had it a lil rough lol
It’s for sure one of the better CRPG dlcs I’ve experienced and I’m not even finished with it yet, Bladedancer is such a fun class and I’d say my only problem is that some of the lore drops around what I assume is midway through the quests (I had Heinrix, he was the one lore dropping) came a little too quick, even having prior knowledge and being a 40k fan I was kinda like “damn you’re telling me already?” But it’s still been great (oh also the sudden onset of levels, I’ve been levelling up so much faster than my initial release play through and I’m not really a fan of how quickly it’s going)
I liked that they stepped their environmental design up, at least in the act 1 accessible parts of the dlc. Going back to the regular maps were a little disappointing after the great stuff they cooked up in the belly of the ship.
So I actually went to the Astropath place and the Shrine before starting the DLC proper and thought they were base game content that I had just missed at launch.
That was how well integrated the DLC is. Just getting ready to start a mega dangerous psychic ritual, so wish me luck lol.
It's incredible. If I'm going to nitpick anything I'd say blade dancer is massively OP but I'm not going to genuinely complain about that, I love Kibellah
Bladedancer is crazy, but considering we have characters that can one round an encounter before enemies get a turn, it's just balanced if she can do it, too lol
My main barrier to getting this dlc is the fact there’s more dlc in the new year and I don’t want to have replay it a third time
