DLC worth getting?

[Sire]

I'm thinking of starting this game, is the DLC (season pass) worth getting? Should I get it after I've beaten the game once and before NG+? If not, when would you say it's worth getting it?

well the main thing about DLCs are the so called bond episodes. if you dont know about these, they are brief episodes between the protagonists and one (or two) npc characters, normally with no combats at all. you get a few of these in the main story (they are not related to the main plot whatsoever)

so my recommendation is play the base game, if you enjoy the bond episodes dynamic cuz you like the characters and all, you can give the dlcs a chance. if those episodes from the main game felt tedious, id just skip them, since they arent relevant to the story (except for the brain eater dlc).

there are also cosmetics and other things but yeah, thats the main thing about them
