As for rimworld, I wish i had gotten the dlc pack with the game, instead of separate. there is so many good mods that require royalty or ideology as well.
Edit: Dwarf fortress is also still being updated, with a steam release coming soon with an overhauled menu and graphics.
Now as for the dlcs, don't get any and just learn the base game, there is plenty of content there. The new UIs and mechanics of the dlcs will overwhelm you and make it even harder to learn RimWorld as its already difficult to learn but very very very rewarding. On top of that while you won't get the balance and integration like the dlcs you can download many mods on the workshop without issue to make the game how you want to play it.
best sale so far is 10% or so. to be fair, i'm not sure if you buy the game and both dlc's if you get more off, but either way its probably only a couple bucks; less than a whopper with cheese combo meal anyways.
i'd suggest to go for the base game, get a feel for what it is, then figure out if what the dlcs add is something you want. worst case scenario, the game isn't for you and you are only out the base game price, not the full package.
for me, i don't want the royalty dlc, dont want anything it adds. i could probably be swayed if it was on sale for 2 or 3 dollars, but even then i know i wouldn't be using it, just buying it because its on sale. i wouldn't call it overpriced, as i'm sure its worth it if that is something you want in your game, its just not what i want.
ideology, on the other hand, was a day 1 purchase. i enjoy what it offers. yeah, it ain't free, but at 1600 or so hours now, the base plus 1 dlc is more than worth it. but, if i knew it would have been on sale in 6 months i would have waited, to be fair. im not sure if the dlcs have been on sale yet or not, but i'd expect them to follow the expected 10% off, more or less anyways.
Grabbing the demo for Clanfolk now too.
Steam wants 85 for game plus two DLcs and I can only get that down to 82 via a coupon... ideology and royalty seem to new to have a sale, wouldn't hurt to hold off some more I guess.
As far as getting a feel for the game before you buy, for me I watched youtube letsplays. After watching a few different people playing the game and how diverse their playstyles were I was able to understand just how special this game was.
Highly recommend Pete Complete for some pretty impressive challenge plays. And his narration style is just soothing. Avaak is another good one for that reason, though he doesn't specialize in Rimworld, he does a wide range of games.
Sounds less like a "something OP can try to get an idea if he'd like Rimworld" and more like a plug for a game that's only vaguely like Rimworld.
