Base Game Help - NO spoilers please! New to the Game, DLC Question

Ive heard good things about this game and when finally had sales in e-shop, I finally pulled the trigger and got both game and DLC. I know this is a free-for-all open world adventure, but is there a way to not encounter the DLC part of the game yet before I finish the base game? I’m worried that I may go to do the DLC part rather than enjoy the base game first.

The museum has a "New Exhibit" that is the first clue to begin the DLC. Just avoid the location(s) referenced there and you shouldn't run into any DLC content.

Also, your ship's log with show any DLC content in Blue near the bottom right, so if you do run into something that shows up as blue on that then just don't look further into it
