Last year the successful Xbox game Fable was brought to the PC with ~30% added content called The Lost Chapters. In that game, it was immediately clear where the original game ended and the added content began. As a player, you had completely developed by that time and done all core quests, so there was little left to do but follow the linear path to the ‘final end'. The Night of the Raven adds perhaps 25% extra content—the game had taken me about sixty hours to complete on previous plays and just over eighty hours this time—yet that content is threaded throughout the game to the point that only my prior experience with Gothic II told me what was ‘new'. The continuity in voice acting is broken only once across hours and hours of interwoven dialogue, and the plotlines and quests are expertly combined so that the new content feels like a natural extension of the original game. The new areas are wonderfully realized and different from the original. Where that game had a city, farms, forests, and an old valley with mountains and ice regions, the new areas include tropical beaches, barren deserts and swamps. There are new monsters and characters in the new areas as well. Many are variants of existing creatures, others entirely new.
