    Please remove the timer in the new DLC!!

    Dear Ubi,

    Please have the option of removing the timer in the new escape from prison DLC! It feels like a punishment for those of us who want to explore this beautiful area you've created. Please, it's the worst thing about the DLC.

    Fellow Golden Path fighters, post if you agree.

    I havent played it yet - but absolutely agree.....

    What is the Games industry's fascination with Time Limits and QTEs?

    I find they are creative dead ends - when the developers have run out of ideas to make their game exciting or varied etc..... It's so tedious. All they achieve in doing is ruining what sometimes would be a great experience! Developers - have the balls to believe in your own product for goodness sake.....

    "WACK A QTE IN THERE.... And A TIME LIMIT, PEOPLE WILL LOVE THAT!!"


    NO WE BLOODY DONT...!!!!!!


    please get the message.........

    You realise this 'beautiful area they've created' is just the north in the main game right?

    Timers are a lazy and cheap way to add "fake" difficulty.

    Some of like to take our time, we aren't all 13 year old adrenaline junkies.

    The name of the DLC is "Escape from Durgesh"; you are on a timed trial to escape this place. This area that is in the DLC is already in the game (check the North of your map).

    How much time are you allotted and does it have more guards than the segment in the game?

    My last 2 tries on Normal and Hard I've been able to escape the prison with no death or detection pretty quickly.

    Where you can get into trouble is if you try to gather too many pickups. I also only fire a few arrows and throw a couple of rocks.

    Dlc with a timer? Bad idea, ask mafia 2 how bad an idea it was to force you to race against a clock and not be able to enjoy what little there is they have to offer.

    Thanks for pointing out the timer. Saved me some money. I have zero interest in a contrived race-the-clock mission.
