Don't worry, OBD, it's still the same dark place. Just a lot more owlbears and undead. It's like there is a constant blanket of gloom smothering you.
I don't really like it, but it's got a ton of normal quests (especially on the beach), access quests, a few Heritage Quests, and the
D'morte Burial Chamber for the new Bloodline Chonicles.
Speaking of which, the first level is free. It's located at the top of the river at
Timber Falls.
Like Stormhold, I was glad to graduate from it. :)
