What are your favorite Expansions for any game, of all time? (hexbear.net)

Like the title! I normally am very critical of Expansions, but sometimes they build upon the base game in very unique ways. I love Dead Money for Fallout: New Vegas, it has the sharpest character writing and turns the game into a Survival Horror experience while remaining authentically "Fallout."

What are y'all's thoughts?

Dawn of War: Winter Assault gave all the non-Space Marine factions in the base game a campaign. Sure, they were all sorta mushed together, but they got one! And also it made the Imperial Guard playable.

Dark Crusade was neat, and so was Soulstorm, but Winter Assault showed what the game could become.

just imagine living in a socialist utopia where Dawn of War Soulstorm is open source, getting regular updates like graphics updates, optimizations, native support MacOS and linux, ARM builds, new campaigns added regularly, new game modes, an optional hybrid LoL/DotA game mode...
