I think Shadow sucked me in because I can play it in short bouts. Start
the game, kill some orcs. Or maybe do some side mission which are mostly
short. Not that it's that quick to start and I have no space on my SSD
to help... But compare to GTA V which I seem to have dropped again and
that's mostly because it takes so long to start up.

I don't think any such DLC was ever planned. Hoped for but AFAIK the
conclusion was supposed to be in the next game which may not happen with
Eidos Montreal working on Tomb Raider Next and some Avengers games.

Still, this is just basically rumors from Eurogamer

Anyways, DX:MD is 70% off on Steam this weekend if anyone is looking.
