I’ve played the original with a couple mods a few years back and had much fun. Thought about starting again and wondered if I need the DLC nowadays.
I recently did some Vanilla with my brother since he hadn’t splurged for all the DLC yet. It was still a ton of fun but missed having Idealigion. Just love all the depth it adds!
Unless you need the new dlc mechanics I’d say you’re fine! And I would say most mods don’t require dlcs either.
Nah, the DLCs are great, but the base game is great too. Chess is good, but wizard’s chess is also good.
The dlc is good but not necessarily a prerequisite. Though a lot of content mods depend on assets from the dlc.
Thank you so much for the answers everyone! I’ll just play without while re-aquainting myself and then check it out :)
