I got the standard version here on GOG because if you buy the full edition everything is included and then there is no way to turn off the additional content. My idea is to play the base game first, then everything related to the free DLC and then the two expansions. But I don't see anywhere where I can download the free DLC, i.e. the special animations set, the alternative skins for Yennefer, Triss and Ciri, the extra quests... On Steam they appear, but here on GOG they don't. How can I get those DLC for free on this platform?

Use your browser to log in to GOG.com
At the top ( Your Name>Your Account > Games )
Go to the game and click on the down arrow, and then VIEW DOWNLOADS
Keep scrolling down until you see Witcher 3 Classic Free DLC Pack (See Attached Pics:)

Once installed, some people have had trouble finding where to enable them
At the startup screen (Not from in game), go to options > Game Play
They won't be visible until you scroll down. (See Attached Pics:)

It doesn't appear, I don't have that "Free DLC program" section on there, why?

I don't know.
Have you looked in the options > gameplay menu and see if they are already installed?
Remember you have to scroll down.

Does the game show as just The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Like Mine) ?
Or does it say classic edition?

I'd still look in the options screen.
I don't use Galaxy, perhaps they don't consider them as DLC's if the come already installed.
Other than that, I just don't know.
Your could try asking support, but be prepared for a long wait.

Yeah, I've alredy had the pleasure. They didn't took that long the last time, and I don't mind about that. Thanks for answering.

There was a difference between TW3 and TW3 GOTY. The GOTY was 1 installer that included everything.
TW3 had seperate installers for HoS, B&W and the free DLC.

TW3 GOTY got updated to the Complete Edition, which still has 1 installer for everything.
TW3 also got updated with the next gen update, but still offers seperate installers.

See the attached images.

Sorry, but for some reason it times out when I try to quote. No idea why.

This is exactly what the support person told me, for some strange reason it doesn't appear in the store if I try to search for it. Thanks, now I have the free DLCs added to the game! :D

It showed up for me. You might have had 1 of the checkboxes checked which caused you not to see DLCs or only see games which are on your wishlist.

Just want to thank you for actually linking this to me, I couldn't find it at all on the GOG store.

The store search shows it when searching for witcher 3. Perhaps you checked the box to hide DLC and extras.
