Well the DLC for Dragon Age has been a bit hit or miss, with the most recent ones being non-essential to the main games story line, let alone the addon pack. For they either occur before as in Leliana's Song or after (Witch Hunt, Golems of Amgarrak). Actually I think Witch Hunt is something peeps probably wish was apart of Awakening, even with it being the epilogue & link to Dragon Age 2. They were also very short.
Then we've Mass Effect 2 where to some the DLC was "Joy, content that missed the shipping date", "Heh! not more guns", "What! More clothes for Jack!?!" or "Oh noes Mako mish!" up till: Lair of the Shadow Broker. Which unlike what everyone's expectations is a in-main-storyline addition, not a "Oh, you've screwed over the Collectors & the Reapers, for now! Game Over!....oh have some more story" thing. I'm liking the Shadow Broker's base, it randomly gets sent stuff (minerals, upgrades, credits). Then there's the video archive system, it's an in-game youtube, probably has a limited number of clips they can use.
I must finish ME2 someday soon, I've still yet to travel through the Omega 4 relay, in any playthrough.
