DLC impact on main campaign.

[Simpson3k]

After i purchased the game a loooong while ago i stopped playing because of personal reasons, (not because of the game) and never even finished the main story. Should i purchase any dlc to before i resume or can i finish the main story and then purchase dlcs later?

Only DLC 4 is truly part of main game accesible no other way. DLC6 will 99.9% be same.

Season Pass 1
DLC1 - Inevitable Excess - standalone - after finishing game DLC, set just before final boss
DLC2 - Through the Ashes - truly standalone, set during prologue
DLC3 - both standalone RNG island and as part of main game - adds dungeon crawler islands with a lot of combat and loot

Season Pass 2
DLC4 - The Last Sarkosians - only as part of main game- 1 class, 1 companion plus his quests and locations
Rest of Season Pass 2 is not released yet.
DLC 5 will be Through the Ashes part 2, and will add dungeon to main game.
DLC 6 will add content, probably to act 5 as festival with some fights and spending time with companion.

Do you need a new save file to access the content of dlc 5 ( the dungeon ) and of dlc 6 or will it integrate into the game seamlessly?

treasures of the midnight isles has a standalone mode and an integrated dungeon into the campaign which offers opportunities for more xp and more loot at various points in the game , making things easier on you

full disclosure though, it's grindy. .

DLC 6 will be like DLC 4, it will be integrated into main game.

DLC5, most probably you will not need DLC2's savefile, and will be able to create new MC from lvl 5.

i bought season pass 1, but season pass 2 doesn't look worth it right now. I dunno how good that shifter guy is.
i hit a couple of spots in the campaign that say "this option is locked because you don't have ulbrict" or whatever that shifter guy is called.
