Pillars of Eternity - Worth getting White March? (kbin.social)

Hi folks! Picked up Pillars of Eternity and am planning to play through it on my Steam Deck during a recovery period in hospital. This is my first CRPG style game, and I am pretty new when it comes to fantasy settings as I have typically been more into Sci-Fi and shooters.

Is the White March DLC worth getting? Or should I play the base game and then if I actually really enjoy the game, add the DLC into the mix at the end game? I am seeing some conflicting reports.

I have already spent my meager budget in the Steam sale (surgery has wiped my savings) so I am wondering if I stretch to grab this. I see PoE 2 is also on a deep discount, but I think I will have to wait for that one.

I happen to be two years deep into a playthrough now, and the DLC seems very good. I would suggest you do it midway through your adventure, though, as I got mixed messages from the game's plot/NPCs about what was coming up, so I put the White March questline and some other tasks off till the end, thinking I wasn't at the last chapter and could visit them later. Then I realized I was at the end of the game, so had to rollback my save and I am doing those now, but it seems like I don't really stand to benefit much from it now, since I'm already overpowered, nor does the content feel as relevant. Good luck with the recovery.

Two years?! How long is the game haha! If it is two years long then I will probably never even get to the DLC haha!

Well, I've been playing it in jags. It says I have 92 hours total.
