New to game, does the DLC offer a better experience?

from Elemental Forums

For example, do the DLC offer any new content when playing the first campaign, or are they separate from the campaign?

As far as I'm aware, the content of the dlc's are available in both the campaign and sandbox.

 

Yes, they are seperate from the campaign.

As far as them offering a better experience, it probably depends on how much you play.  The map, quest, and loot packs definitely improve variety, but if you only expect to play a handful of times, then it may not be worth it to you.  If, on the other hand, you expect to play over and over, then they're (IMO) well worth the cost. As for the Undead DLC, it adds a new and very different faction - I'd suggest playing the base game first and then trying it, as it's probably not a good faction to learn with (and currently not a good faction for the AI).

I would play the game for a while before getting any DLCs. The DLCs extend the life of the game, and I have them all. However, the basic game does not need them in any way. Later, when you would like some variety, then start DLC shopping.
