Yeah, you can, personally I think xcom2 is the better game as well (well, in terms of polish and mod support).
I've never played the dlc with the alien kings/queens/whatever. However, Shen's gift (I think?) is required for most of the important mods now (namely long war 2/lwotc) and war of the chosen is needed for the more "complete" long war mod. Even without mods, I'd say those 2 are worth it anyways, the chosen can be fun or at least an additional challenge.
I misread this as "Polish mod support" and thought that was oddly specific, but I'm always happy to get new language mods for the game, frustrating when an international team all speak the same US english or British english.
Lmfao Brazilian soldiers in the game speak Spanish by default for some reason
Should I install those 2 DLC before starting the game or should I go in vanilla and get the DLC later?
Yeah, a vanilla playthrough would be fine too lol. See my other comment about mods though.
I'd also add that you shouldn't ignore mods if you wanna get the most out of the game. First playthrough, yeah go without mods and get a sense of the game. But I have like an embarrassing amount of time in this game and I think I did one or two playthroughs without mods, so a majority of my playtime is thanks to mods, especially long War of the chosen.
I'm totally down to check out mods later if my first playthrough is as good as everyone suggests it will be. Loved that huge FTL mod for example, forget what it's called.
