Difference between Dragon’s Dogma and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen

dragons-dogma

I'm interested in buying Dragon's Dogma, but there are two versions available.

  • Dragon's Dogma (incl. 100 special quests)
  • Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

I've read that the second one is like an expantionpack, but I don't know if I need the first one to play through it or if it's better to play the regular one first. Or is it just like a GOTY-Edition?

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen includes Dragon's Dogma plus some additional content:

Dark Arisen includes the full version of Dragon’s Dogma – with a few minor adjustments – as well as a good 10 to 15 hours of new adventuring on a mysterious black island that rises from the sea outside the fishing village of Cassardis.
