IS the DLC worth it?

[j.benjamincebrero]

I'm still on the fence since the other DLC isnt out yet.

[Roknar]

Yes, especially if you haven't played the game yet. It is extremely well integrated (and has better encounters). On the flip-side, if you want to hold out for the other DLC being equally well integrated, that is worth a shot.

[j.benjamincebrero]

Yeah that's what o'm thinking about as well. might be better to wait out the next DLC and then play again.

[spammdc]

Yes buy the Season Pass as it gives you both DLC.
The first DLC is very good, and IMHO should have been included in base game.

[j.benjamincebrero]

Yeah might wait for the second DLC before i buy the season pass for a complete experience. But i gotta say, i love this game!

You guys have any idea how many DLCs will the game have? Only 2? I'd rather wait to have all DLCs so i can play everything at once.

I really hate this DLC culture. Wish we'd go back to having game expansions. That way we could play the base game, then the expansion when it's released, rather than playing base game and then replaying base game with how many DLCs should be there...

In my opinion, it's just semantics at this point. They could just add post-story DLC which would be what you are calling an expansion.

I understand what you mean, but I'm glad DLC is a thing. It can be great, but it can obviously be really bad. In the case of Rogue Trader, it might be frustrating "needing" to play the whole game again just to experience the DLC as it should but would you rather have it be this way or not getting any more content at all? In other way, it can give you a reason to play a good game again.

I'm gonna be a little preemptive right now, because I haven't even finished act 1, but I'm loving the overall quality of it and hope that not only the next DLC has the same quality and that Owlcat consider as well adding more stuff to it. I really love being in a 40k setting where I can appreciate all the reading and aesthetics without being in a permanent kill or be killed action scenario.

Just to conclude, I'm gonna say that DLC can also be very exploitative, ESPECIALLY in Warhammer games. I don't consider this one to be like that (at least not yet), but having to pay 1/3 of a game for each race pack to add to the overall experience of said game can be a massive pain. I'm all for paying for worthy content and raising the amount of it in a great game but Warhammer stuff really drains you.

Battlesector is solid right up until the end. If you are following the narrative and paying attention you will be fine. . .If you aren't, well, best of luck to you.

Gladius wasn't my type of game. Its procedurally generated gameplay with a loose narrative providing anchors so it doesn't feel like a waste of time. I bought it for the Mechanicus campaign and after beating it I never felt the urge to return. The difficulty for Mechanicus was all frontloaded, If you can make it to Chapter 2 without being wiped out you will steam roll everything after Chapter 3, I converted every Kastelan on the map and had an unstoppable ska robot army that I sent out offensively while I surrounded my city with a ring of Disintegrators with Crusaders behind them to protect them from airborne units. At that point I just left the game play itself which was both boring and satisfying.

I didnt like the companion alot (she's powerful but also.... weird) but I love everything else about the DLC. The insight about the workings of your ship, the crew and everything are just fantastic.

Waiting for the other DLC for the complete experience is a fine choice. The game is quite time intensive and one complete playtrough takes quite a while.

Id say that's more on the type of game that Gladius and Battlesector are than being a "warhammer" thing

[Fizzban]

Yeah I thought she was awesome, and even if you don't it is hours of extra content. Decent content too. And it aint just a new character, there are new areas on the ship to explore, new npcs, new music. Well worth it.

[VALHATRED]

ABSOLUTELY one of the coolest dlc characters and additions ive seen in an rpg. You get access to more areas of the ship, a gruesome new cult and some fire equipment

[lentracey]

I actually like these types of DLC. Having played the campaign through to completion (and really enjoyed it), I find that this DLC has given me a whole new way to enjoy the story. Really loving this DLC so far.

[j.benjamincebrero]

i'm actually really torn if i should buy it or not.

[Raigavin]

DLC yepp, worth it.

Especially like the sound track in one of the areas.

All I can say is you will regret not buying the DLC. You will go off your food and not be able to sleep at night. Finally you will break out in a rash better known as void leprosy.
