    I bought this game a long time ago, but never played it because it would consistently crash right after the montage scene. With this update, seems maybe a good time to give it a try again. Is there anything the expansion adds to a first playthrough?

      As an IT guy, what CPU were you trying to play the game with?

      I’m aware of a few early bugs with 2077 that would crash the game on specific CPUs… Just wondering if that was your problem.

          Aah. Okay, not the same issue then. The specific instruction the game needs was avx, it wasn’t required for some of the early quests, namely the intro for the Nomad, but as soon as you got to the city it would crash.

          Happened to me

      the left column skill tree, AI, etc stuff should change the experience

        Yeah, but it seems that all comes with the free update? My question is would it affect anything to buy the expansion, or would it make more sense to play through the game first, then only buy the expansion if I want more content?

          I am opting to do the latter. Out of speculation I expect the new guns to come in if you installed the expansion so I wouldn’t be able to differentiate without reading.

          Also, I may finish the main game and find the dlc was discounted later on. If I do and it’s still full price no loss as I see this as being a pretty decent dlc unlike EA games.

          you could probably (just guessing) get some of the radiant quests, car mods, clothes, weapons, weapon mods and get the raise in level cap before the final vanilla quest

          and if you were at level cap, there may be a chance of accessing DLC areas without the quests before getting the DLC quests - but none of that is particularly experience changing
