I'm not going to buy it, because I don't like the series or genre. Feels really shallow and repetitive to me.

But in general -- say, assuming some hypothetical developer of a game that I like, sure. I'd buy a $100 DLC. Hell, lots of games have more than $100 DLC (though it's commonly broken up into smaller chunks).

But that sword cuts two ways. The DLC that the hypothetical developer is making has to actually be worth $100 to me. And I can get a lot of really good games for considerably less than $100. Which means that whatever they're coming out with would need to provide a great deal of really good gameplay to be competitive.

If bg3 came out with a dlc that added more playable classes, playable races (kobolds), more story content with raised level cap, etc they could have my $100. But they won't do that, all their new content patches are free.
