I don't quite get how this DLC will work. Avoiding all spoilers I can't see where they can place it. It doesn't make sense at the beginning, middle, or ending.

Apparently it takes place at the end right before the last battle. Not really interested in that. I would prefer some post game story DLC.

So its a "dark souls style" dlc where you can play the dlc as part of the main playthrough? Nice, I will wait for a deluxe edition then to play it all in one go.

Have you played the game? The base game is complete in and of itself.

This argument needs to die. Adding additional content is not the same as whatever it is you seem to think it is. your entire argument hinges on this idea that the base game is somehow lacking, broken, or fundamentally incomplete and that this is NEEDED to make it function or cohesive and that's nowhere near the case.

You just seem to like to jump on the 'lets hate the industry for imagined sleights and supposed nickel-and-diming' bandwagon. Like so many others.

DLC is not a bad thing. It can be abused but for the most part it's exactly what was advertised: Additional content for people who enjoyed the base game to get more of what they loved. These are proper DLC expansions, not FOMO or Loot Boxes, it's all new content.

This narrative of all DLC being some form of cheap trick or underhanded money-grab is absurd from top to bottom.
