How much game time does the DLC provide?
How many hours of gameplay does the DLC provide? I'm just wondering since I'm thinking about buying the season pass.

Hours? Depends on how good you are, if you take the enemies seriously or just run past them, if you area completionist or a "got three bosses done' guy. Also, there are a few optional areas.

Each DLC can take between (i played through each one two times, so don't take this as an absolute) three and ten hours.

Let's take my game time example, on my first run I beat the game in 50 hours, on my second it only took 23( could have taken less, but I was jolly cooperating). So perhaps a 6 hour game time per dlc, to a total sum of 18hr. Does that sound a bit right? I'm just hoping for some 20+ hours perhaps.

If you go for every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ item and don't use wikis (i killed an npc cause i didn't know you could talk to her :P) it can take quite long. Also, the bosses are rather hard!
I personally took 25 hours on my first dlc playthrough, and i died a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ton.

3 hour each + all the time spend doing pvp

Well, I guess I will purchase the DLC. Kinda sad I won't have enough money to buy Scholar of the First Sin, but my toaster wouldn't be able to handle the improved graphics anyway.

Ps: Thanks for answering my question.

Don't buy the season pass yet, Scholar of the First Sin includes all DLC to date, wait until this has been released to compare the prices and then decide what you'll get best value for.

"Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin will include the three previously released DLC packs - Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King, and Crown of the ivory King - along with additional features."

You didn't read properly, I said I wouldn't buy Scholar of the First Sin because my toaster wouldn't be able to take advantage of the graphical update, I literally bought the game for less than 10 dollars, so with game and dlc I perhaps paid a total of 25 dollars(dlc was more expensive than the game :c ). Anyway, I really don't feel the need of the graphical update, or the 6 players in a single sessión. Every other aspect that is updated (New npc, enemies, item descriptions, items) are going to be available in a free patch. So I don't think paying 50 dollars for a game I already own is worth it, I wouldn't even be able to play the game above low settings.

The new version of the game includes the old version of the game as well (With all DLC for both versions)

Enemy placement is not getting changed in the update.
I'm not buying Scholar because I don't support buying something that should've been in the game at the start, and I'm not sure whether I'll buy the DLC either because soon Bloodborne will be out so I'm just gonna hold on to my money for that.

Plenty if you're a noob..

plenty of hours even if you are good. In NG+, bosses can be a bit of a pain. I enjoyed it but the main thing is the re-use of ennemies between dlc.
