Should I jump in with all DLC, or just base game?

I might try the $5 pass for all DLC. Is it way too complex to start with all of them at once? I haven't played CK3 before but I have played Stellaris and Victoria 3.

Unless they just added something and I did not notice, are you asking after CK2 and not CK3 (is the CK3 forum)? CK2 has a subscription service, CK3 does not.

If it helps your decision, CK2 base game is free, and all the DLC is $5 a month. Nothing is free unless you buy the base game in CK3, and then a few minor things are free depending on what package you bought.

Like all PDX games, there's a learning curve. Once you're over the initial hump/hurdle, however, this game becomes easy.

Most of the dlc for ck3 is cosmetic with slight mechanical undertones.

All you REALLY "need" is Royal Court and T&T.

RC expands inventory, expands court positions and gives 'dollhouse' decoration.

T&T gives you something to do inbetween/besides world conquering with fleshed out serial events and makes travelling from point a to b more fleshed out.

The rest are cosmetic with some mechanical enhancements.

Cultural dlc only cater to the region and specific culture they represent.

Event dlc gives more stories to flesh out in your gaming.


I can't speak much for plagues and legend cause haven't really explored them myself.

CK3 doesn't have an expansion subscription. Check back in about 5 years.

Dang. For some reason I thought it did. Guess I will get the essentials first.

Thank you! I will start with those DLC.

is the starter edition worth a look?

[Mentos]

The only thing that is essential is the base game. You don't really *need* the DLC. Royal Court is pretty nice though.
