DLC worth it?

[Javetus]

So I finished the game once and I'm thinking about replaying, I see that there are 2 dlc (Tales from the Tiers and Bastards Wound) So my question is, are both (or one) of the dlc worth it? Why?

I like BW expansions because it adds Comanion Quests for Barric, Verse and Lantern. I bought it with the game, and I really liked it.

And what about bugs? Reviews on steam page are not very good.

Bought both DLCs before first playthrough, playing again now.

1) Tales From the Tiers, I wrestled with buying it too. I dislike games where [what should be] core functionality is sold separately as DLC. I forgave it because of the type of RPG, and because of the game's otherwise low price point. Glad I did; the random encounters are fun, and many of them are quite interesting to me. I consider the game diminished without Tales, and would not play another Tyranny game without Tales DLC. If you buy only one DLC at this time, buy Tales.

2) Bastard's Wound is fun but optional to me. I didn't encounter any bugs belonging to the DLC, but I also didn't get to do everything my first time through. I like this DLC, but I expect I would enjoy the main story just as much if I waited a year to buy Bastard's Wound. If budget is tight, don't stretch things for this DLC; just get it when it's "free" in some later bundle.

Cheers.

Both it creates a more complete game and story. An example would be people saying Tyranny was short. But my first play through was almost 70 hours that included both DLC's so it's not short with the DLC's.

It also allows you to complete the full quest of one character.
I really liked Tyranny and it's world and characters I wish there was a huge expansion in the works.

I have finished my first play through and I do not feel compelled to run it again. The grinding for the powerful aritifact is a chore. So it is unlikely that I will buy the expansion.

I had every intention of buying Tyranny.. Ive loved Obsidian rpgs for a long time, and they do great work, have excellent writing, and the games are usually very fun to play.. But.. With Tyranny, it seems theyve gone the chop it up, and sell it in micro bits and pieces route.. I cannot support this.. Portraits.. Really? Hopefully, its a one time thing, otherwise.. Theyve lost a longtime fan with these practices!

Have a feeling (and hope) that this is Paradox influence, as it seems kindve out of character for Obsidian..

Game is pretty damn awesome with fantastic characters and writing. It's really worth it. The DLC's make the experience complete. I wouldn't miss out!
