The game is already like 200 hours with just the current 4 lords. 4 more will add another 100+ hours, plus replaying act 3 again brings that to another +140-160 hours. 

So with the DLC you are looking at a 350-400 hour game. . .

If I buy and beat it now, I either need to replay everything when all the dlc is out next year or jump back into a 6+ month old save and hope I remember what's going on. So I'll wait, maybe it even goes on sale (yeah, right).

Doing Act 1 for 4 characters is a lot, but 8 in one sitting will be truly degenerate imo.

If you tried to do all 8 in literally one sitting you would 100% just fucking die lol

An insane opinion to have if you knew anything about the game. Playing act 1 8 times in a row would be absolutely mind numbing

Playing Act 1 four times or eight makes little difference. The chances of me going back to a game after 6+ months just for dlc is slim.

This staggered dlc crap has been happening for a while. You don't have to know the ins and outs of the game to wait for the full version instead of keeping up with months of drip fed story dlc.
