At the risk of disappointing the Lord of Rage, this is one DLC not to bother with. Remember how Dragon Age: Origins would coat everyone in fake-looking red paint in every fight? It's a bit like that. The Total War games have had separate blood packs for a while now, ostensibly as a way of keeping the base game's age rating low, and while it does seem like over-the-top gore belongs in a Warhammer game if it belongs anywhere-and, to be fair, the DLC also adds some extra campaign events-the blood splashes are likely to tank your framerate and look kind of silly. One DLC to skip is Blood for the Blood God. In particular, The Twisted and the Twilight has wood elves led by dragon-riding twins with a subsystem for forging your own magic items, and skaven who grow new units and mutate existing ones in a "flesh laboratory" powered by a currency called "growth juice." So that's nice. The recent ones also tweak the campaign mechanics in interesting ways, so again Total War: Warhammer 2's DLC is the stuff to go for. The smaller Legendary Lord packs each focus on expanding two existing factions, adding a playable lord and some unique mercenary troops called regiments of renown to beef up both. It's worth it if pillaging is more your thing. Its mammoth-riding Vikings are all about raiding and sacking rather than settling down, razing enemy settlements so you can build unholy monoliths in the ashes. Norsca, a late addition to the first game, is quite different as well. Each has an unusual playstyle, with the Tomb Kings not having to worry about upkeep and the Vampire Coast able to set up pirate coves to profit from rival cities rather than taking them over, while gathering a resource called infamy to draw out legendary pirate captains. Of the expansions that add entire new races, the second game's Rise of the Tomb Kings and Curse of the Vampire Coast are the most well-regarded.

While it's inessential, the DLC has improved as the series has gone on. It can be as life-consuming as any live-service game. It's a serious investment of time, a sandbox where you'll spend hundreds of turns pushing armies around. The objective is simple conquest, first of your own divided people and then various landmarks spread across the map. Mortal Empires is a third campaign that plays out on a tweaked-for-scale version of both the other campaign maps combined.
