Color of Madness and court dlc question

[GuudBooi]

Hello guys, if i buy these dlcs can i download and play them in the current run i am making or i have to re start a new one ?
Also playing them in a current kinda advanced run is it detrimental to the experience overall, so it's better to start fresh with all of them activated ?

I could be wrong, but i'm not even sure you can activate or remove DLC mid-campaign anyway.

Well, you can activate CC and CoM in mid - game or even after ending campaign. You can't remove them after activating them, so you need to think about it. In my opinion, it's good to activate them in a mid - game (when you have some lvl 4 or 5 and you are after Vvulf fight). I understand, that some people activate them from the beginning, but i found it more stressful. Also, you will have a lot of corpses of your heroes because of vampire dudes. So yeah...

vampire stuff only come to bother you once you do the CC quest once, so you can dodge them by not doing it (you'll get the lower stress relief though), i usually do that until later in the game as i find the CC is way to invasive.

So i can activate colour of madness and the court dlc mid game and they will be activated on my campaign ?
If CC is better to activate later, is it the same for colour of madness or colour of madness can be even activated from the start ?
Activating CC when you already finished the main campaign is detrimental to the overall experience of the dlc ?

i have never tried adding the DLC mid campaign, only adding it at the beginning and then never doing the first quest of CC to prevent vampire from spawning.

You started the cc quest during mid campaign and how it felt as an experience ?

I would recommend completing the vanilla game by itself first, then doing a new run with all DLC enabled. This prepares you for the extra challenge and also makes the experience last longer.

You can enable them all mid-run if you wish, but they're all designed to be played from the beginning, so not only will it be experienced a bit off-kilter, but also throw a lot more to learn in the process.

You can start both mid-campaign, though the crimson court is harder for a particular reason. Once you start it's quests, it's unique monsters can start invading every other area, and they all have a specific attack that can afflict your party with a time-sensitive deadly disease; as well as adding a couple events that will inhibit your hamlet.
Color of madness is more challenging in the sense of ongoing combat testing your party's longevity, but it's creatures are contained and you can use a unique loot from there to buy an impressive selection of class specific trinkets.
