Thats so true. A dlc is practically over before it begins if you ask me. An expansion on the other hand, that I would gladly pay for. One hopefully including more of the npcs (like Zoltan and Dandelion for example). Not like certain dlcs where your companions suddenly have gone mute. I hate that
Exactly!
I was so angry when I finally got around to playing the Fallout 3 DLC and I couldn't take Charon with me (at least for four out of the five DLC's). It made the DLC's feel so tacked-on and clearly not part of the main game.
I'm sure that a full-fledged expansion for Witcher 2 would not make that kind of mistake (for that matter, Troll Trouble was well-integrated, and I haven't replayed the game yet since patch 1.3 to see the new DLC but I'll bet it's also done very well).

There is so much too that an expansion can be based around. Like Saskia or Stennis building a country, Yennerfer/The Wild Hunt, the invasin from Niilfgaard or hell I wouldn't mind going back to Temeria and seeing how things are going.
Indeed
There are a lot of loose ends which could be taken up either in an expansion or a sequel. I'm trying to decide what makes the most sense to save for the sequel and I think the war with Nilfgaard and searching for Yennefer could easily take a full game.
I'm thinking maybe an expansion would be some new side stories started and finished within the expansion itself, and then maybe a little bit of advancement on the main story arc that will be picked up in Witcher 3. Either way, I'm really excited to see where they go with it
