Complete Main story before I start DLC? or does it not matter?

[Eddy Watson]

Hey
I think I am near the end of the game and I have just got the DLC for the outer worlds. I dont know if I should finish the main story then start the DLC or start the DLC and then finish main story. is there advantages or disadvantages to either way? 
Thank you

Sorry if this response is late. If you have not yet finished the main questline, I would highly suggest doing the dlc before completeing the game.

 

TOW plays out much like Fallout NV did. Once the main quest is completed, that's the end, there's no playing beyond that.

 

Another option would be if your nearing the end but have not yet hit the point of no return, do a manual save, complete the game, then reload the save.

Finishing the DLC first gives you a more satisfying ending and epilogue.
