Should i get dlc's or are they not needed?

[Rhyno046]

i'm thinking of getting into CK3, are there DLC's that are a must have or is the base game good enough? Its get expensive to buy the dlc's without playing the game ever before

Check the mod page for the mod, to see what DLC is needed. Some mods do require DLC. Some mods put in DLC checkers and you can play without DLC but having DLC unlocks more. LoTR, AGoT, and EK2 are three of the various Total Conversion mods, and you just need to use the mod page for information, and if you're confused, leaving a question there instead of here might reach the mod developers.

It depends on the mod itself. That said, many of the Total Conversion mods use DLC features for some of their mechanics, so without the DLC, you will get a barebones version. The most significant ones used are probably the Grand Activities (from Tours and Tournaments), Domiciles (from Roads to Power) and the Throne Room and Culture Hybridisation (from Royal Court).

If you want to play those popular Total Conversion mods, then I'd recommend getting Tours and Tournaments, Roads to Power and Royal Court sometime, in that order of importance.

If you are on a budget and kinda attracted to setting buy them on sale, otherwise idk

I recommend getting Tours and Tournaments, Roads to Power, and Khans of the Steppe at the very least. Northern Lords is good too

Nah for khan of the steppe buy it only if you are interested in that region otherwise 100% it’s not needed

Base game + overhaul is a better experience overall tbh.

Roads to power for landless is justifiable, and tours & tournaments also, as horribly repetitive as it is.

If I could go back in time and have the knowledge I have now, I wouldn't have purchased any of the others.

With the exception of the cosmetic packs, get the DLC's. It's added a lot of variety to my games. Only get them in the season or bundle pack though. Buying individually is crazy unless you have $$$ to burn. In any case, I think the DLC's are justified to support the developers on this masterpiece that has no 1:1 rival.

If you are new, I'd say play without them as a Count somewhere of your choosing, get to know the basic game slowly without being overwhelmed by choices/options.

If you want to go in as a King and rule large Kingdoms, multiple regions and engage in multiple wars then I'd say get Royal Court and Tours and Tournaments.

If you like the idea of roleplaying as an adventurer and avoiding the politics and management side, get Roads to Power.

There are also DLC's for regional conflicts if you are interested in those regions of the world.

These are the DLC's that I've had some or the most experience with.

The Royal Court and Roads to power I think are the only ones remotely worth getting for someone who isn't a compulsive super-fan like me. Everything else (as much as I do love it) are objectively not really worth the price.
