I read that they updated the ps5 version to perform better when they released the first dlc. Does anyone know if the dlc is required to get the performance update patch or is it a patch to the base game? Going to buy the game soon but was planning to wait on the dlc to make sure I enjoy the game before dropping the extra $15

I don’t know how well it performs after that patch but it was for the whole game, regardless if you have dlc or not.

yeah no idea bro , I gave my PS5 away. I game on PC.
Speaking of, pretty sure I'm at the last part of the DLC, got a bunch of exposition dumped on me last night but couldn't listen to it all so I alt+F4 out and quit.

I decided to go to act3, instead of DLC first. I think I'm 2/3's of the way through act 3. nothing majorly broken or feeling half done. so I suppose most of its been fixed.
I do think there is less alternative completions in act3.
Im pretty sure they did do the acts in sequence.

act 1 is small town, mostly wilderness.
act 2 is a larger town, PACKED with quests and npcs. better Voice acting. there is a weird thing with the Northeast part of the map being totally empty.. barely any quests, just wide open fields. not even monsters. so strange. I can see why people felt this marked cut content. probably was? but the rest of act 2 is packed.
act 3 is now 5 towns.3 of which are in ruins admittedly. but, even more npcs really. I hear much of it was bugged, and current quests even added in 1.1. but I think the raw volume was too much, and they reduced the alternative options, and cross reactivity.

Hmm well I did the DLC when I got to it. Finished it , in that I cannot go back to it. Now I'm all swole & OP, think my level is in the mid 40s? Got a kick ass 1h sword from there and a very OP fire spell that has to regen. Went to the town and bought a battlemage summon (maybe it was from the druid dude maggot? ) anyhow I summoned 2 master assassins , 2 battle mages, 1 drowned something mob. I had the 1h and the OP spell in 1 group, the 1h and the other OP burning spell in another group.
I'm getting lip from the commander guy in the town and one of the options was 'Try me'. So fuck it I tried it.
Me & my small army of summoned mobs majorly butt fucked the town guards , it was hilarious and probably game breaking so afterwards I reloaded the save and played it straight.
I did have a really good time massacring all of the town military though.
man I'm loving this game.
