Hi, thanks for the great mod. Is this still playable if I don't have most of the recent DLC? The last one I bought is Overlord.

yes, I've been playing it without them, it says they add to specific factions, paragons seems to be the most encouraged, but I dont have them and it works great

Like Orinsul commented above, the DLCs only add specific stuff to the mod, for a complete list check the mods FAQ, but without them should still be very much playable as well.
