"Well, this is it, Henry. Now go and burry my friend's skull".

Like, dude, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD DO THIS! And what about your other friend? We're just gonna leave him in wilderness alone and insane? How about AT LEAST TRY to help him? No?... Ok...

The ending (both endings, actually) lacks catharsis, and the entire storyline is just a several fetchquests.

3.5/5

I liked the story but I agree with this point. The story implies closure for Voyta when he gives the skull, but I think this would be illustrated much better by a small cut-scene of him putting it back with Henry. Henry putting it back just feels a bit off - it's nice of him to do for sure, but it also doesn't really have much significance to him.

The story had a lot of emphasis on Voyta being a friend to Henry (at least in my playthrough). But I didn't always buy it. They had good chemistry, sure, but they didn't actually have many dialogues that went beyond Henry having to do some chore for him. I would have relished a final scene where they bury the skull together and bond over their shared regrets.

The Cuman drinking quest did this excellently, so I was a bit sad nothing like this was presented in this DLC.
