Question about the DLC map

[noxteryn]

Hello!

I am interested in purchasing this game, and I'm trying to decide whether to buy the regular version or the one with the DLC. I tried googling this information, but couldn't find any definitive answer, so I'm asking you guys.

Supposedly, the DLC adds a new district called Dogtown, but I can't find any such place on the maps I found on Google.

Is the DLC a separate area like Toussaint in The Witcher 3?
If so, how big is the default map compared to this new district?
If not, would not owning the DLC restrict the free-roaming significantly?

For example, I found this map:

https://maps.piggyback.com/cyberpunk-2077/maps/night-city

Is this whole area accessible with just the default game?

Also, seeing as the default game is at €30 and the Ultimate Edition is at €50, is it worth it to buy the Ultimate Edition or should I just buy the DLC later at a lower price? Is it worth paying almost double the money for just the DLC?

Thank you very much in advance!

It's an Expansion, so no, the area is not accessible without it, and yes, it's worth it.

You could wait for the DLC to come down in price but the Ultimate Edition price is reasonable for what you get but if you're concerned about the value then just buy the vanlilla game and see if you enjoy it.If you do then could always buy the DLC later.

I dont know if the UE gives other bonuses as well so no clue on that score but 50 euro is still cheaper than a normal AAA game plus you get the expansion included.

Dogtown is not accesible without PL, it does not look big but I can assure you there's more than enough content there, in PL they used height levels more than in the regular game which means things are stacked rather then spread out.

Dogtown in Phantom Liberty is a district that's tacked onto Night City/Pacifica. There are only a couple of access points, but it's still very much part of the world and you can go back and forth at will after the first Phantom Liberty quest is completed. In fact, there are a number of missions that straddle the separation between Dogtown and Night City proper. It's more than worth the extra cost, IMO.
