Bloodborne DLC: how to access bloodborne the old hunters expansion.

Doing exactly this.
Same, though I took it a step further and finished up all of the chalice dungeons and got the plat as well. Haven't touched the game since I first finished it not long after release, and I'm happy I won't have to start over or dive into NG+ in order to experience the new content.
Though I'll probably be stupid overlevelled for it.

Can't wait to argue over lore with Gbraga for daaaaays after this shit drops.

You can check out some the new weapons by summoning the new Old Hunter NPCs. Some of them look bananas
How do you summon then? I got the old hunter bell, I just can't seem to use it =(
Hopefully the disk has some weird stuff or half finished content on it about that area. It was clearly rushed.

It works differently from the beckoning bell; you need to find their summon spots. They will be glowing red on the ground and are usually located right before a boss.
I've found new NPCs before

I'm drawing a blank, where's the trapdoor there? Can't remember
Ah hah! Thanks a lot. Guess I'll work my way to a boss location now.
You walk in through the building and it is right there on the right.

What will likely be harder, taking on the dlc on ng+ leveled and everything or taking it on with a new character on ng? Also is there a list of the new weapons somewhere and what stats they lean towards, I don't mind spoiling myself on that.

Wonderful timing. Just have to beat Gascoigne on my brothers game, then we both take on Amelia and straight into the DLC. Missed Bloodborne.
120 on NG would be a cakewalk. Hell I'm not sure if NG+ would still be too easy.

Here's what I would do. There's a boss late in the game named Micolash. After you defeat him, do the DLC.

Oh riiight

certainly a lot of hunters
I can just go back to the DLC after beating this boss? I thought you couldn't go back after a certain point in the game.

damn. I guess I'll go through with my endgame character then.
Like the other poster said, you will fight a boss named Micolash (you will definitely know when this fight occurs). After you beat that boss, you can do the DLC with a bit of experience with the game and without actually beating the game. The point of no return is a little ways beyond this fight, so theres no danger of missing your shot at the DLC.

What do you mean "forced"? It's obvious
Gehrman is the final boss, and you can just walk away from him
never obvious for a first souls game...
I was way too pissed when it happened to me, I still think that is a very stupid design choice

Good thing the last thing I did with my new character was beat Vicar Amelia, I'm pretty much in the right place then.
Except the urge to carry on playing in the meantime is too strong so I'll likely go through the woods over the weekend anyway.

You
are given a choice to surrender your life or resist. The hub is on fire. This is clearly the end of the game. I mean, how much clearer can they make it??
Bloodborne was my first Souls game too by the way.
If it's your first playthrough of the game and you go straight to the DLC, you'll probably get your ass kicked, yes, but if you've played it before, I think it doesn't matter all that much.
Of course the optimal route will put it torwards the end, even if just for the fact that you'll deal more damage.
I just started a new character. The NG+ kick was such a downer way to end the game.
If you have high enough Vit to tank hits I would assume it will be fine with low levels. Even Cainhurst is considered late game area but it is fairly manageable as soon as you get to Forbidden Woods.
Presumably yes, unless the game needs to be in that middle Night phase?
Same, but at level 130 on NG+.

Is this Doll dialogue new? I've played a lot of Bloodborne and never once heard this before.
I've never seen that either! :O

That's your grave from NG if you choose to give your life in the end. You can see it in NG+. I'm not sure if the dialogue is new or not, but I'm pretty sure the Doll goes there from time to time just like she goes to the grave at the top of the hill near the Insight vendor.
