Is the Crimson Court worth it?

[MagnusCerebrum]

Everybody is saying that it can be annoying and makes the game harder, but I like having more content aswell as a new character and Districts to build. Or should I instead buy CoM?

In my opinion CC is the best dlc available. It gives you massive sized dungeons, new enemies, new class, new everything. And yes it does make things a little harder, but challenge is what this game is about.

CoM is cool, Shieldbreaker is alright...

Crimson Court is without a doubt the best DLC imo. It makes the game a little harder but way funner too.

CC is great. Just, don't rush into it. It's kinda rough in there, have at least a reasonable synergy party that's got a level or two of upgrades.

CC is easily the best value per dollar.

It adds soft time pressure. If you manage it poorly, it can destroy your entire roster. If you manage it well, though, it's almost a non-issue.

Apparently only one mod actually works but it removes diseases entirely as well.

if you know how to deal with CC it adds quite alot of content. but if you just go into it blindfolded it pretty much ruins your games. i would allways adivce to play and finish the game without it before even touching it.

This applies to almost anything Darkest Dungeon. The point is to learn how to render it moot through knowledge/experience (just like the rest of the game). Unfortunately, some people's idea of doing this is to rely on mods rather than, you know, learning how to deal with it the normal way. Both the base-game and the DLC aren't much different in terms of 'apply certain knowledge to make it infinitely easier'. Alas, achieving this totally blind will involve some trial by fire.

As for the meat of the topic, CC is totally worth it. It is the largest of the DLC's and adds more to the veritable 'onion' of the base-game. I always encourage people to beat the base-game and then incorporate the DLC's for a not entirely 'fresh' but definitely 'different' experience. Helps maintain longevity before you go dabbling in the world of DD mods.

The 'normal way' being exploiting a couple of broken-ass skills that should never have made it past playtesting. There's mods to remove those exploits, btw. Good DD players use those anti-exploit mods.

Yes, exploiting broken skills like "loot blood when you can" and "don't spawn the Fanatic", truly dirty.

No arguing pls, I only asked about which DLC to buy first. So I think I'm going to save for CC first before getting CoM then.
