Best DLC order

[joshuar56]

So I got the skelmar invasion with the bundle I bought. Which would be the next best DLC to add? I was going to go with pirates, also is there any DLC that just isn't worth it?

Pirates and skelmar is good.
Tavern and pit is not worth the money.

Pirates are very good, even better than Skelmar.

The tavern and the pits, we can do without them.

But everyone plays as they want.

I'm enjoying all the DLC's, tavern and pit included.

I like the Tavern. It's not much game play for the money but it makes life easier.

Tavern is a cash cow if properly run. It makes the game financially 100% more easy.

Best parts of Tavern aren't even the krowns:

#1. Magical teleporting tavern lets you stash and add companions whenever you want:
- Can put animals there (unlike travel posts which only hold companions)
- You can access it anywhere and almost freely add/remove companions and animals (unlike travel posts which are tied to specific locations)
- You can also stash prisoners there, so you don't have to worry about them escaping or eating food (though it does cost copper coins and can reduce tavern prestige if your profits plummet for too long).

#2. Easy XP
- Really accelerated professional XP for Brewer, Thief, Cook, and Bard. It matters less for the latter two but really helps for the first wto.
- Lots of combat XP earned by serving as a Bouncer.

Pits is the only one I could have done without. Tavern was a fun side game.

Tavern DLC is basically a money cheat

Pit battles are interesting. Some of them are also challenging (especially on Brutal difficulty).

They feel like a more advanced/tougher version of the arena fights. I found most arena fights to be very easy, even on hard difficulty but Pit fights often required a more nuanced approach.

The only DLC I didn't have was the pits because of the bad reviews. But when I did get to buy and play the pits found it to be one of my favourites.
I guess everyone to their own.

One thing to know about the DLCs :
In the "Pirate of Belerion" DLC, once the scenario is finished, you can still board ships.
In the "Skelmar Invasion DLC", once the scenario is finished, you can no longer do sieges or hostage releases ...
