Creative Assembly have just released Total War Warhammer III's 2.1 patch, adding a tonne of new fixes and changes to the game alongside new performance optimisations, and boosted modding potential through the release of the "Total War: WARHAMMER III Assembly Kit".
The main changes to Total War Warhammer III with update 2.1 is Immortal Empires' first round of critical fixes, changes, and additions. For starters, Dwarfen factions have been reworked with better spell resistance, more movement options, and stronger runes, all Legendary Lords now start with the Siege Attacker trail, Archaon and Be'lakor can now confederate other Warriors of Chaos factions after capturing their final settlement.
The Ultimate Crisis
One of the main new additions to Total War Warhammer III's Immortal Empires campaign mode is its Endgame Crisis modes, which add endgame challenges to Total War Warhammer III's huge campaign map that are based around specific factions. Using the game's new "Ultimate Crisis" option, gamers can choose to have all endgame crisis scenarios start at once on a single playthrough. This creates an incredibly challenging endgame for Total War enthusiasts, which will be music to the ears of many players.

Warhammer 3 has Realms of Chaos as a story driven campaign but it's meh. It's still a sandbox but at launch was very much riddled with issues. They've addressed some however it's only necessary to play to win as it gets you Be'Lakor as a playable Lord in Immortal Empires
Immortal Empires is again traditional total war and has an insane amount of content.
The only things that carry over between the 3 games are:
Blood Pack DLC, you buy it for game 1, you get it for game 2/3. If you got it for game 2 then 2/3
All DLC for games 1/2 carry over into game 3.
If you don't own certain or any DLC, in game 3 you may still interact and fight against them in the Immortal Empires campaign however you cannot play as them yourself, only AI, as well as not being able to recruit their units through the new outpost system if they become an ally in your campaign.
Hope this clears some stuff up. If you only want game 3 there's still a lot of content!Quote
