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.

    Note: I have played a heavily modded game with both Royalty and Ideology, not Biotech though.

    None of the DLCs are strictly necessary, but I would highly recommend Ideology - the core mechanics it adds are compelling and impactful, and it serves as a nice base for a huge amount of mods to build off it. Royalty isn’t bad either, but it seems more disconnected from the rest of the game than Ideology is.
