is darkest dungeon crimson court worth it?

They could have also helped with the danger of your companions dying if they could have sated their thirst on your party members, instead of just having them deal damage with no benefit.

Maybe it's just me but I was hoping that when they had the Curse for long enough they'd start exhibiting symptoms other than just craving blood, such as eventually getting positive or negative quirks depending on if you sate their thirst when they demand it. The way they initially talked about it and the fanatic made it seem like this would leave a permanent mark on your characters, however all it does is buff/debuff. I do certainly like the new area, the new enemies and the new class, all of those are great, however the Crimson Curse feels really disappointing.

The districts also don't really feel like they help that much to be worth the vast resources you need to sink into them when you could just improve the hamlet or your own characters, with only a few exceptions (and even then it's random on when or even if you'll actually get the district you want). In turn this makes me feel less like I've got a new region to explore and more like I've downloaded an enemy encounter mod for the regular game. Sure we have a new location, but would it really have been so bad to just get this added to the areas you could choose from? Requiring me to get an invitation makes it feel more like some weird mod I'm using that's exploiting a backdoor to get me into an area I'm not normally supposed to get into. I was really looking forward to this DLC too since I like the game a lot (it's a little too unfair with a little too much luck for me to say I love it) but this feels like surprisingly little has been added.

It's a real shame that this DLC turned into another detriment to the game like the Alien Hunters DLC in XCOM 2.
