First time playing, should i buy Downpour right now?

[Dmitry Vorobyev]

Or base game has complete experience and i can go for DLC after the original game completed?

I'd recommend you finish the base game first before you do so, and get used to how the game works. The base game already has the completed experience of 3 characters, the DLC just adds new stuff for those who really like the game and story.
In content Downpour adds 5 new playable characters, new regions and new creatures, as well as a new gamemode.

(i buy the complete edition)

downpour expands on the base game too. my suggestion: clear 1 or 2 regions. if you still wanna continue, get the DLC

finishing at least survivor or monk in base game first ie reccommended for experience

i reccomend playing first without downpour and then with downpour since the diferent dev teams had considerably diferent creative directions, so i think everyone should try both separately, also i would reccomend not touching remix unless you need some accesibility option because simply "enabling" remix changes a lot of stuff even if you keep things as default for some reasons.
Not even having to jump to the new campaigns, survivor vanilla and then survivor downpour have considerable changes you slowly start to notice

I would recommend playing the game without the dlc to make sure you like it. If you like the base game, you will love the dlc.

i disagree, a bunch of people do love the game and dont like the way the DLC deviates from the main game ideals, in fact if you read Downpour negative reviews, most of them are from people who did like the main game and didnt like the new aproach the DLC has.

Liking vanilla doesnt guarantee you will like the DLC as well
Also there are people who would not like the game without the DLC

They should be treated as different experiences which are mutually exclusive

Your experience is your experience, there is some people who play this game with the wiki open because they dont have any interest in the discovery, while i find this detrimental for the game experience you play how you want to play, but dont enforce it upon others because you think the way you play is the right one and everyone should know what you do, a spoiler is irreversable damage you intentionally spread

[Aguasentry]

nevermind you have a good point i deleted it

[Jevmen]

My first playthrough was as Monk with the wiki wide open.
I set myself up for ruining my experience with the game, yet I love it and have over 250 hours in it, DLC included.
