All 13 already relised DLCs were cutted off the main content and not the stand alone content.
CDPRs just take the random content of the game and re-include it posponed.
I have the same issue with Undying skill - I have it equipped, I have 3 Adrinaline points active (red color) and I died a few times - all times restart, not happaned according to skill description.
Totaly broken game!
I did like this: Doing Main quest untill the next Main Quest will be above my lvl. Than doing side and contracts + treasure hunting.
Everytning is ok with level!
Thats all on DM diff lelvel ofcuz.
Nah, it's ok!
If I can hit 60 lvl on DM for total exploired world its ok for me!
But Devs may think to give us one more diff lelvel- Insane or something cuz there is no chalenge for a bit leveled Geralt.
