You can honestly play them at any time you want, when they come available. The womans lot DLC I started right away with Theresa. Johanka's part is going to take getting further into the main story.

Start Band of Bastards when you are very comfortable with combat, because there are some big battles and it could be tough if you are new. That DLC has missions filled with nothing but combat.

From the ashes is best started when you have 20k or so in groschen. You can start the tournaments right away, but again, this will take some combat expertise. The tournaments happen every week though. Be sure to place bets on yourself with the Rattay miller.

The Hans Capon dlc won't be available till near the end of the game, so that answers that for you.

Do the hans dlc as soon as available - you cannot complete the game and ride off with hans until you finish his dlc

Worth to mention; if you want to enrol the tournament for the first time, do ensure that you have visited the blacksmith at Samopesh (a village) first to have some of the dialogues more meaningful. This quest is a recurring one. You don't have to be afraid if you fail the quest or don't have time to sign up. It will be started again after 7 ingame days. (you can get a full armor set if you win it five times but I found better gear in the world)

When you're free to wander around early game, at the miller, a NPC will be there with a quest icon. If you open the map and over on the icon, it will enlist "Woman's Lot". This mission is a chain of quests that occurs between what you have experienced and what has happened thereafter, when you have returned. Don't worry, it will make sense eventually. You cannot save here, you have to proceed through each checkpoints! This one should be started early as possible.

I fully agree with this.

Theresa's DLC should be played as early as possible, because it helps the player understand some of the more advanced mechanics (like stealth and archery), and also get to know Henry's friends better.

You can play them just after you unlock them after Merhoed's plague quest. The only difference is Johanka's part of Woman's Lot contains few optional dialogues if you play it after Vranik segment.

The game does a good job of deciding for you. In general if they are offered to you it is a good time to start them. You will need a at least a small amount of reading, stealth and lockpicking skills for "The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon".

The tournament: You won't get far until you are confident in fighting skills and have decent gear so wait.

"Woman's Lot". Early game. Fleshes out the story a lot.
