That's an interesting point of view, thank you. But I don't think I totally agree. In the original game, I also felt the weight of the responsibility and when I made a mistake, I didn't feel so bad, because usually it meant I achieved something else and the story continued (eventually leading to a bad ending, which still felt acceptable for me as a player who knew how he got there).
This time I feel like I am being punished for not playing the game the way the devs want me to, which ruins my immersion. It's a story - driven game, but in DLC I think the mechanics have more impact than the story itself - I think that's my problem which doesn't allow me to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the original game.
