Your plane's gone down, and oh no! You're stranded in a hypothetical! You must choose one single-player video game expansion pack to entertain you for the rest of your life, and the base game is completely inaccessible. Does the expansion add new content to the base game's world? Don't worry, you can play all that new content without touching the old, it all just magically works without issue, please don't ask me how.

The only expansion packs eligible are those which require the base game. Crysis Warhead is not an expansion, FEAR: Extraction Point is. Large free updates are not expansion packs.

Which expansion pack do you choose? Why? If you don't tell us why, you're a coward.

The first expansion that comes to mind is the Desolation of Mordor DLC for Middle-earth: Shadow of War, as it adds a new desert map that can be played with both Talion as well as Baranor in his own separate campaign.

A better answer is Dying Light: The Following. That's a big meaty hunk of expansion. I might have to go with that.

[Ghost of Caelid]

Whatever starfields future expansion will be...or an MMO expansion like greymore ESO...something with endless replay value.

 

[R6Rider]

Do multiplayer expansions count?

 

[Boss Mog]

Deus Ex combined with Prison Break, so good.

[Sorne]

[Sosokrates]

Fallout 4 DLC pack off the top of my head.

 

[Guileless]

The Madden roster update where they added Colin Kaepernick with like an 85 overall rating even though he hasn't taken a snap in years.

 

[Husky]

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - Hearthfire

The entire map of Skyrim, and it can be modded to continuously add new content.

Nope, the base game map is out uwu
All you got is the new houses and the adoptable children

 

[Godot25]

Oh fuck. That's pretty hard.
I would choose between Burial at Sea from Bioshock Infinite, Minerva's Den from BioShock 2, Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2, Lair of the Shadow Broker from Mass Effect 2 and and Blood and Wine from Witcher 3

 

[Mister Wolf]

Blood and Wine by a mile. You will never get a better season pass than the Witcher 3's pass. Certainly not at that price range. The second best is Xenoblade 2's expansion/pass.

 

[BlakeofT]

Pokemon Sword Expansion pack.

I'd want no reason to not starve to death the first night.

You said (or implied, I guess) that you can play the new content using the base game's world without touching the old content:

The only way you can say "nope" to me is if the new "content" is played in a void, but you implied with your OP that that wasn't the case because "it all just magically works". Unless it "magically works" by creating a brand new world for the DLC/expansion content. But even then that would still work for me, so I pick Hearthfire for the reasons I stated.

Your inference, not my implication. It all magically works without touching the base game's map
It may be hard to wrap one's mind around. Perhaps to understand it would be maddening. One might even call it safer to read the Necronomicon from front to back.
Else, you could just say it's played in a void. That's sort of just magically working.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues or Dead Money

Or

Fallout 3: Point Lookout

Sorry, can't decide. Will choose randomly.

[NeonGhost]

Blood & Wine

I never played this been waiting for the next gen patch

That's not "working" and makes this game kind of retarded, so... I'm out.

 

[eastcoastkody]

Taken King

 

[TexMex]

Can't argue with Brood War either.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Blood & Wine

Stole my answer.

 

[Vagswarm]

Should've probably put singleplayer in the title. Brood War is the best singleplayer expansion I can think of. Lord of Destruction originally came to mind, but there's only one zone and you said there's no playing the original content.

 

[supernova8]

Battlefield 2 Special Forces

 

[GreatnessRD]

That's a tough one based off the games I play, but I guess I'd say

Episodes from Liberty City. (The Lost and the Damned / Ballard of Gay Tony)

 

[rofif]

The Lost and Damned.
Gives you the whole gta iv city.
