DLC worth it?

Im considering buying the game and was wondering if the dlc is worth it or is the base game fun enough? Like does the dlc add better mechanics etc?

DLCs are great addons for this game. I had 125 hrs in the original game, before i went with my character to the Antique Plateau (DLC1). Now im 25 hrs in that map (still didnt explored every single corner) and it became my favourite map. In Caldera (DLC2) ive been just for couple of hrs, running left-right to see the zone and it looks great.

DLC1 (The Soroboreans) is introducing a new map with seasons and huge dungeons that have train between them, two more classes, some armor/weapon sets and upgrading equipement. You can upgrade even things from the base game. Also you have 4th faction and main quest with them, with new character, or just parallel quest with old character. Theres also a new mechanic - corruption.

DLC2 (The Three Brothers) is introducing a new, end game map and endgame quest line. City building. New class and weapon/passive trainers. Armor and weapon sets. (probably some more things, but havent played it a lot so i dont know all the details)

For second DLC you dont need a new character, but a character who has finished one of 4 faction main questlines.

I have bought the main game and I am also not sure about DLC's. I wonder if I buy it after sometime do I have to create a new character or can I continue with mine?

You can continue with your character. Though the sorobean story takes place where the other 3 stories are settled. So you can choose 4 instead of 3 factions to join. If you already joined a faction you can only travel the lands there.

Three brothers takes place after the main story so you can continue in any way.

For Soroboreans story, yes, its 4th branch of main story.
For The Three Brothers, not, its continuation of the story and unlocks only after you finish one of main branches.
