All DLCs are worth it, but not Friends & Foes, you have only to look at the negative Steam Reviews.

I think so.

Northern Lords is good
Royal Court is on the culture and artifacts enhancements are cool
Fate of Iberia is good, it had fresh mechanics for Iberia
Friends and Foes adds some events, probably the least exciting of all of them.

If you're going to mod the game then the answer is no. The DLC's are underwhelming and lackluster, they're small flavor packs that barely add anything, the game has yet to have an actual expansion.

In a way, it's not like they remove content from the game or make it worse.

I believe CK3 is adequately worthed the price of admission, if you treat tge more cosmetic-oriented dlc similar to designer brands. Do you need them to play the game? No. Do they make your game appear more fancy? Yes.

I don't play CK3 unmoved, however. So I've never seen the DLC alone without accompanying mods.

[KingKickAss]

They never seemed all that enticing to me, and that was before they hiked up the price tag on them. I just stick with mods.

I've liked all of them so far, but F&F is a little thin. Still, it does add to the game, even if it doesn't add as much as I'd like.

[Flybox]

Addendum: almost all of my playthroughs involve Norse or Iberian runs. That's not because I have some connection to those regions. It's because I like what the DLC added to them.

[mb3]

I would say they are required.

Look at the ratings who in their right mind buys stuff rated in the 20 some percent positive.

[spasti696969]

That really depends on how much you're willing to spend moreso than the quality of the content. That's why this question always throws me. Obviously Elon Musk has more money to spend on video games than some homeless person. So while it may be "worth it" to him, it wouldn't be to someone of less fortunate means.

Personally I love this game and have thousands of hours in it. I've learned a lot about history, strategy, and obscure facts regarding medieval warfare. That to me is easily worth $10 or $20 or whatever.

I caved and got the bundle for $34 USD. At the time, I couldn't see paying $30 for one DLC.

Granted I've never played a single Norse character in either CK series (I can already see the shocked look on people's faces). So that Northern lords pack probably won't ever be used. I did once try to form portugal so maybe the iberian one will get used.

The only thing I'm really using though, are the extra court positions, mostly to help keep my favorite idle courtiers from wandering away. I like to play tall as a count or duke so I haven't actually done much with the court system except to pay homage or petition a liege.

Willing to take suggestions on a good mod for adding royal court mechanics to dukes, that doesn't break the game too bad.

After a few playthroughs with the royal court, you won't want it for dukes.

Haha well I've heard it can get repetitive. Only had it for a few days.

One thing I've noticed is that it seems to make realms more stable at the beginning. The opinion buffs for the liege makes it really hard to play a powerful 'kingmaker' duke because the AI is always over its expected court prestige level.
