Is the Better Save Soul DLC worth getting?

[Tomandandy]

It's been a while since I've played Graveyard Keeper but I quite enjoyed the game as well as the previous DLC. What I didn't like was that the game felt unpolished at quite a few places and the fact that the devs only bothered to release a few bug fixes every time they released a new DLC.
So I was wondering: Is it worth to buy Better Save Soul or did we reach the point where the devs are just releasing a new DLC with very little content each year to milk this game for what it still has left?

To preface this, I enjoyed Better Save Soul. The story wasn't horrible, nor was it annoying to work through. However it suffers a little bit from feature creep.

I enjoyed the extra steps from purifying the souls in addition to the autopsy/embalming and I feel it ties the Graveyard Keeper closer in function to the Red Eyed God's purpose for him: ferrying souls to the afterlife.

However, it does kind of render some of the previous DLC's obsolete. Having souls work for you (automation) replaces zombies up to a point. Making the super grave decorations negates the Mortician from the refugee camp (you won't buy her goods when you can make better). Having 26-white skull bodies frees up a lot of graveyard space (I can finish the game with fewer than 6 corpses in the graveyard, and still unlock the cathedral). The extra early money rewards trivialize the early game difficulty/wait to afford things.

I dislike wanting to call Better Save Souls a "filler" dlc, but that's about what it is. If you want a little more from your game go for it, but if it seems like superfluous junk to you you can easily skip it.

Thanks a lot for the reply! Hmm, overall that doesn't sound worth it to me at the moment, especially since I already complete the rest of the game a long time ago. I might replay the entire game some day and grab the DLC before doing that in this case and hunt down the new achievements while doing that.
Let's see how many new DLC will still be added to the game, if they keep the current pace of one DLC per Halloween I might as well wait until then.
I just wish they would also bother fixing some of the long existing bugs related to the main game instead of mostly just fixing new bugs that the DLC introduced.
