DLC Worth It?

[Cotyora]

I am keen on buying the game but boy, devs are similar to Paradox Games so I'm not sure, can you all convince me? The reason I also want to buy is because of workshop too

[Hoki]

the game is worth it without any of the DLC.

no need to invest into everything at once.

Yes, Anomaly is super natural,Royalty adds magic and titles and new end game,Biotech adds genetic modification and ability to control mechs,Ideology adds religion, You dont need the dlc but they are so good, Way better than paradox dlcs that add only focus trees or mission trees

The thing about comparing it with Paradox is about the price...

Haha the devs are not like Paradox. Check yourself.

why not? just adds to an already amazing time... :)

[Hoki]

the game "only" 4 actual DLCs - Royalty, ideology, Biotech and now Anomaly

you can ignore royalty and anomaly for the most part. leaving you with the equivalent of a full price title IF you really wanna get your hand on DLCs right away.

ideology and biotech are the big players in this.

one thing to note here though - paradox is a publisher and ludeon self published. its a completly different enviroment

its is quite costly to get the entirety of RW at once and can be a very steep learning curve when youre a new player. youre not missing out of anything by getting the DLCs later.
the game just has that much replayability to justify getting them later.

Yes, all dlc are great!

Buy Biotech if you like the game in the long run, and then if you interested in any of the extras that the other DLCs brings on, buy them on sale.

DLC's are half the price of the base game that's what I mention

actual content wise- bang for buck the DLCs are not great value in this game. that said, if you're going to play it a lot i would wager that you'll probably get your money's worth from time spent and a little variety goes a long way here.

Where do these sales happen exactly? It certainly can't be on Steam.

that depends on what standard youre trying to apply here (sadly).
given we live in times where you pay up to 10 bucks for a single set of skins(sometimes even just 1) RW DLCs provide high value.

in regards to potential playtime they still fall in line with tradtional game expansions albeit on the pricey side for the average player.

ck3 has a few dlc half price of the game and more numerous tiny dlcs, the price of ck3 is a few hundred, eu4 probably 1000 not comparable and stellaris and hoi4 are getting there

And on sale you can get any which paradox game with dlcs that has been on the market for anywhere close to Rimworld for way less than what you'd need to get all Rimworld dlcs. Like, look at the Rimworld store page right now. 10% off for years old and already expensive for what they are dlcs.

I'm not one to buy paradox games nor dlcs, so having to compare Rimworld in general with it is a red flag.

that's fair, you can definitely spend your money *worse* than rimworld DLC.
