Is it worth playing this without any of the DLC?

I got this as a gift but i dont have the money rn to buy all dlc, should I wait to acquire them of just play this as is?

You can complete the game without em, but they do add a lot of things not just storywise like perks, weapons, increasing the level cap.

I'd say yes. I played this game many times without the dlc on ps3. Yup, this game's that good....and the dlc is pretty incredible...what a gem of a game.

the game is still great without the DLC - it is worth doing a playthrough without it - and then starting again with all of it - but disabling the stash packs - since they give you too much of an advantage in the early game - and so i would suggest not using them till a later playthrough (plus they add weird items that are strong but e.g. can't take weapon mods)

all 4 story DLCs raise the level cap - but they are also out on the edges of the map - and don't intrude other than adding quests as soon as you leave Doc Mitchell's house

and the Gun Runner's Arsenal adds at least a few great things, such as proper iron sights on laser weapons - but it is good to play a run without it so that you are not overwhelmed when you do add it in - since it adds an insane number of weapons

so tl;dr is no, there is no need to wait - you can add the DLC for a future playthrough and it will simply enhance the experience

but there is plenty in the main game to entertain

enjoy :-)
