DLC worth it ?

[Vash the Stampede]

Is it worth it to pick up the DLC ? I see it has new missions and such, is it a good buy ? Or is it just stuff that should have been in the game to begin with ?

[Defkon01]

nope

The season pass is cheap enough to purchase which includes all the dlc content....well worth buying it.

Lord of the Hunt is fairly solid content; if you enjoyed the PART AFTER THE HAMMER DIES, it's more gameplay there, and with some nice new abilities. The initial batch of warchiefs are really interesting, since they're unique, relative to the warchiefs in the main campaign, but after you finish it they'll just be replaced by bog-standard captains.

Bright Lord is interesting probably one time. It was fun, but it has no free-roam at the end, so you can't even play with the new orc models-not that the captains aren't basically exactly the same. It's literally just campaign and you're done, though if you don't finish it, you're still able to free roam. The final battle's kinda nice.

The rune packs and skins and stuff seem kinda pointless, the warbands are a one-time kill for an epic rune in the main game, and I don't believe there's much fresh dialogue from them. I did notice a few new and more interesting types of captains after installing them, but that might just be random coincidence in that I might have just missed them.

Overall, if you're getting the season pass, worth it, otherwise I'd probably just recommend LotH and Bright Lord; no sense in getting each other piece of content piecemeal.

captains in lord of the hunt are overall stronger with more immunities, and posed quite the challenge at times. you do start with all abilities learned, and I mean all.

I bought the Season Pass but I haven't played the DLC game modes yet. The skins are what they are; some people are willing to pay a little extra to make their guy look different, others (myself included) see it as kind of a waste.

The DLC warbands will net you something like an additional five minutes of game experience if you're anything like me. In fact, I didn't even realize the first guy I killed, the flaming crossbow guy, was from DLC. So far, none of those fights have taken me longer than a minute.

The epic runes are, in fact, epic. If you find the game isn't difficult enough or you like the process of trying to get increasingly more powerful runes, avoid these like the plague. I have yet to see a rune that I acquired in the normal course of the game that comes close to the DLC runes in terms of effectiveness or usefulness, which makes farming captains and warchiefs for drops pretty much moot. I like them because I'm more interested in the nemesis system than in the runes, but I did find combat markedly easier, which may or may not be a good thing for you.

Epic runes drop in the main game as well; they have a low proc chance normally, but if you put out a Death Threat on a captain or warchief (which requires you to have unlocked tier 4 skills, and bought the Death Threat skill), their chance to drop an epic rune increases markedly (I believe 40% for captains and 60% for Warchiefs), and those are just as excellent as the other Epic Runes.
Some of the epic runes given are in fact duplicates of the better ones in game, hence they they have an orange color, to distinguish them from the normal yellow copies that drop.

Yes, Season Pass is worth it. 2 story expansions so far, plus some other stuff, but the expansions are nice and offer about 2-5 hours content each, depending on how fast you proceed in the story.

The DLCs sound like a ripoff so far.

lord of the hunt was a fun dlc, it incorperated stealth caragors (basically ccombined my 2 favourite parts of the game) and ranged graugs. the new warchiefs are unique as they also ride beasts. really fun, i noticed a drop in framerate compared to the main game.
Would reccomend

bright lord. was fun, added alot of new skills revolving around dominating orcs, the orcs now have a proper uniform (like what you see in the movies) the missions where you build the forge towers are fun. as are the ones where you defend them. bow has no charge up speed but it has no focus either (its not godly anymore) the final bossfight is amazing and makes up for the pityful final fight in the main game, it also makes captians and warchiefs able to get to level 15 and all orcs are harder, so its casically a hardcore mode (still not hardcore hardcore though)
would reccomend even for just the boss fight against sauron

Not at all.

The base game is great, but the DLC has earmarks of sheer laziness all throughout it.
