When you start a new game of WOTC it defaults to integration of the other DLCs as well if you own them.
You can turn them off, but why?

You'd suggest the new campaign being WotC only? No Alien Hunters and Shen's Last Gift? I thought it'd be fun to see how they changed around the SPARKs and I just love me my Hunter Weapons...but yeah, play a "different" game without the first two expansions...hmmmm

Just what is "new" in this expansion? I'm see comments where the Chosen are like the EXALT and the new factions are like the "Meld" soldiers we had in XCOM: Enemy Within?

@unikornus That's what I've spent all day yesterday doing, only got halfway through and decided to start a Vanilla WotC campaign, but then got tired hahah

Oh, lol, your Steam account said you were in game in XCOM2 so I figured you were playing it, lol ;)

Im sorting thru the workshop to update my addons.

First, I'd need to play it! Trying to find the time...
