Returning player, base game only

PC

Hello.

Haven't touched the game since late 2019, only own the base game.

As far as I know the DLCs only (mostly?) add cosmetic stuff, right? nothing you need.

What's the opinion on the Isle, is it worth the buy? The reviews aren't very good.

Thanks!

Yeah, none of the DLC is required.

I'm on an Isle of Siptah kick currently, and I like it. I dig the castaway vibe, and it has a different resource progression because it gives you more stuff sooner. The purges by the shore areas also seem a lot stronger. Haven't done any dungeons yet, hoping to get there next.

It's mostly cosmetic.

If you want to say it's more than that technically it is. As its slightly differentthan the base game,as the DLC dose armor sets with different ablity boosts. And I think one has a set with more heat/cold resistant. But no more than sets you can already make in game from other armors you can learn.

I'll mildly disagree. Yes, mostly cosmetic, however if you are a PVP person you want to say "I want a heavy STR boot, and a HEAVY VIT Glove, etc." I'm not sure the base game gives you 100% of the fitouts. Not PTW at all but you get a few tiny tweaks to your perfect build outside the cosmetics. (I think, I own them all so it's hard to tell).

The hot\cold used to be the big differentiator, but something changed and that seems no longer to be important.

No there's nothing you need in the DLC's but many things that can make a difference. :) I personally don't like Siptah, if you're getting a DLC there are many better options.
