Is the DLC worth it?

[Zalfir]

Hi, picked up this game with no DLC and am having a decent time playing alone (not a fan of multi).
I'm just wondering, am I wasting my time? Will I reach a point after the 24 hours of play mark where I go "oh I wish I'd bought the DLC" or something? Their DLC policy is still a little confusing even though I've gotten through the intro and am about to unlock base building and defence.
Cheers in advance.

Oh and in addition, if I were to buy only 2 DLC, which two are absolutely essential, if any?

[leviathan]

it would be worth it if the companion was more intelligent and aggressive, as for your other question the alpine unrest and the resistance weapons 2, the rocket turret is very op.

My priority:
1) Story DLCs (Fnix rising, Alpine unrest), both.
2) Tactical Equipment Pack 2 - mostly cuz of homing missile turrets, but hacking darts useful too.
3) Motorbikes pack - Dirtbike, the only bike capable of reaching max speed on any terrain (while any others - only on road).

4) Companion dlc - concussion armor makes pet significantly more durable, but anyway the food for Himfjall inhabitants (Alpine unrest).
5) Base defense dlcs - only really useful if you dont have mule character (the one u will be stocking surpluses) or if you've installed no structure limit mod.

This : 1) Story DLCs (Fnix rising, Alpine unrest), both.

And it's all

2)Missile turrets so OP the game loose interest, and in MP, when ppl use it(I don't owe it myself), I often crash.
Hacking can be reach with a perk
3)Not necessary, again, change the feeling of the game, which I don't like
4)Prefer not to talk about the companion and this patch here...I could become vulgar
5)Not necessary, at all

U might haven't noticed, but I was talking about my (personal) PRIORITY of DLCs. Its not about "necessary". Neither DLC is mandatory. Neither of our opinions is the ultimate truth as well.

"Hacking can be reach with a perk".
I assume you have never seriously played "Hacker" via skills? ~20% chance to hack Tank, ~40% for a hunter. Some apocalypse machines cant be hacked at all. Hacker only really worth against Firebirds, require tough skill points investment.
With hacking dart you dont need any skills to make it work. 100% chance to "convert" any machine (except Reaper). Only downsides are you have to be in range to throw the dart and you cant hack Firebirds for the same reason.
Its 2 different hardly similar opportunities.

"change the feeling of the game"
Fortunately, experimental weapons (especially exp. Algstudsare), bullets striking with lightning, concrete walls which cant stand few bullet bursts and so on - everything makes game feel immersive. Have I forgot big walking AI in 1990? Glad swedes dealt with them so I'm in no need to afraid anymore.

So what I'm getting from all this is Story DLC (x2?) and then mod the crap out of it.

Might want to save off on the DLC until you have done the main plot. I didnt and Im terribly confused because the dlc plot assumes you have finished the main plot, but is just dropped onto the map so you can easily get side tracked by that instead.. lol.

i would just recommend the story dlc
alpine unrest and fnix rising
the rest kinda just feel like the developers dont have enough people buying their game so they make hundreds of dlc's to try and squeeze more money out of the people who already have the game instead of actually doing something about it

[Zalfir]

It sounds like there's no DLC that I'll wish I had bought earlier. That's very helpful information, thanks.

It also seems like they need to market their game more, I only found out about it because smiity and his mates (youtube) played it, and it looked like fun while they were goofing around.

you wanna get the ones that add npcs because without it your player only like 25% of the game.
