I only installed the base game, and am playing it. I later bought the DLCs, but am wondering if it's best to wait to install them after I've won to read each individual story or just go ahead and install them without any regard?

It being a roguelike game, it sounds very difficult to do what I am doing but I don't want to spoil any of the story that comes with the DLCs.

Can anyone offer their input on this? Thanks.

Personally I would install them right away. You get a lot more recipes, enemy types, item types and abilities(if you haven't installed mindgames yet).

I suppose if you want to extend replayability to the max you could wait so there is a feeling of "something new" after you beat it once or twice, but with 11 characters in the unlocked version there is plenty of replayability as is.
