which van helsing game should I play first?

[ikeboy]

I want to try this game but there are so many dlc, I dont know which one I should get first.

I have about 100 hours played on Death Trap which is what made me wanna try this.

The three parts of the trilogy are in consecutive order, so this one would be first. Or, you can get Final Cut and play all three parts as one larger experience at the same time. The difference is that VH1 and VH2 use different character classes than VH3 and Final Cut do.

Personally, I recommend that if you have a lot of time to kill and own them, play the Trilogy parts individually at least once first, then get the free copy of Final Cut and play that afterward to compare the differences. If, on the other hand, you don't have quite so much time, then pick up and play Final Cut in incremental sections for a more streamlined convenient experience.

thanks for the info.
So if I play Final cut, I can use a single character to finish the entire game?

But If I choose to play VH1, VH2, and VH3 separately, my character from VH1 cannot be used in VH2 and I have to start a new character?
I think playing the trilogy parts, one at a time might be better. Would probably give the same experience as playing Diablo 1, 2 then 3.

For Final Cut: Yes, you will play the same character through all three parts (11 Chapters worth of content) and can have up to 6 total characters in Online mode or as many as you want in Offline mode.

For Trilogy: VH1 characters can be imported into VH2, but VH3 uses different classes so you'd be starting over with a new class (6 different specialists to choose from) at level for the last part.

ok thanks a lot man. You've been very helpful
I'm gonna go with your suggestion and play them separately first.
