The new spy-thriller narrative of the expansion is engrossing and the characters and missions that are crafted for it bring a mystery all their own with back-stabbing and espionage all around.

Each of these colorful NPCs and the environment of shady dealings helps to provide the perfect setting for a spy story that would be fitting for even James Bond, himself.
