In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their frustration with a DLC that felt unnecessarily difficult and repetitive.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the DLC for the game and suggests that it may not be worth purchasing due to it primarily consisting of two and a half hours of fetch quests and a single boss fight.
