Assuming a perfect world and unllimited resources:

Storyarcs in earlier acts featuring Meredith and Orsino and the rising tensions between them.  By the time we really meet them, things are already spiraling out of control.  I kinda wished I could see them in action when they were on better terms and still working together.  I mean, they did respect each other once upon a time, right?
(This inspiration brought to you by the trailers for the upcoming upcoming X-Men:  First class movie)

Post Act 3 Hawke adventure:  Not a standalone, but an epilogue of sorts.  What happens after the final showdown?  Where does Hawke go?  What do people thing of him/her?  Basically, what happens after the story ends?  I'm not sure what the theme of this "bonus act" would be...perhaps "What makes otherwise decent and honorable people in Kirkwall go homicidal?"

Not exactly content DLC, but some sort of appearance pack for Kirkwall itself.  Something that demonstrates the passage of time in the city.  Groups of kids that grow up as the game progresses, Memorials to important events being built, others destroyed.  Long-range consequences to choices made being mentioned by people as news, gossip, or whatever..

I'd love to see more Companion quests. Maybe adventures you went on during the year skips.

More Qunari. An appearance by Sten.

Oghren, Varric, a new Warden character, and Hawke DLC that explores more of the deep roads and the lost thaig. (Varric and Oghren together is comedy gold.)

SOMETHING with Flemeth.

Get Hawke out of Kirkwall. Either between years (a visit to Ferelden?) or post game.

Something that will add more story and time of the main campaign. I've beat it twice and I'm struggling to finish my third time. I feel like I need a little more story. I loved Stone Prisoner, RTO, and Warden's Keep. As long as some of the DLC adds to the game, I'm a happy camper. But ultimately, I want an Act 4. Whether it's a long DLC or expansion...

Here's what I want in DLCs:

I want to see an epilogue that wraps up Hawke's story and shows why all the companions leave you except your LI by the time Varric is interrogated. Anything that fleshes out that story more because I want to know what happened to Hawke!

I want to see more of the Morrigan and Flemeth conflict or just anything with Morrigan.

I'd also be cool with a Varric-centric DLC like Leliana's Song in Origins

I said it in another thread, but ...

Lothering.

I would have liked to have seen the flight from Hawke's home, the desperation of other villagers trying to flee (some of whom might try to help the Hawkes, or beg for aid, or try to use you), and the darkspawn laying waste to everything. It could have been quite chilling and dark, and I'm surprised it wasn't in the actual game.

In Origins the destruction of Lothering was just a skull-and-crossbones on the map. In DA2...you don't even see the place. A DLC prequel might be interesting.

If Bioware wanted to go all-out, it could even include a different 'Before the Horde Strikes' scenario depending on if you're mage or warrior/rogue, the latter two going to Ostagar with Carver to join the army and being IN the battle, seeing the signal light, fleeing the horde...Hawke Mage could have quests in Lothering that have ties to Origins, like helping to apprehend Sten after he murders that family (Hawke could have *known* that family).

I know most people want a DLC that follows the game rather than precedes it, but call me someone who likes beginnings I guess. And I wouldn't care if we had all our endgame skills or had to start over. I'm sure Varric could do a little handwave, 'It's more exciting/true to the story this way.'

I don't want that as DLC. It should have been in the main game as the intro.

Perse, the entirety of DA2 felt like "Witch Snooze" and "Golems of Blah" to me. Considering how they recycled environments from the main game and Awakening. And DA2 was as tedious as them, IMO.

The DLC simply cannot be something as expansive as some ask for, otherwise what did we just buy? Wings of Liberty? Part 1 in a 3 part game?

I don't. But the fact that they're gonna cut out the intro that seems more sensible than "BUTTON = AWESOME, BLOOD 'SPLOSIONS!", and then sell it as DLC to us just seems wrong. My personal opinion.

Sadly Biowares track record with DLC is about 75% item/weapon/clothing packs, 20% Witch Hunt/Arrival, and 5% Lair of the Shadow Broker/Leliana's Song, so all we have to do is wait for the second to last DLC and it should be good.

Well now.. I would love to know what the heck happen after act 3, I have no interest in Lothering/missing years/or story about any of my companions. Act3 is unfinished if you play as mage or side with mages.
If hawk sides with mages she/he don't get to "power" at all, had to leave the city.. wasn't the game meant for characters to get power? well it didn't happen. If mages lovers can't get to power then add soemthing more to it, like I said, lets continue after the final battles. that would be brand new and it keeps you with hawk story.

I'd like some post-ending stuff - like why everyone except LI left - but that obviously needs the various companions to return, which I'm not sure is possible in a DLC.

I've given up on Act 3 making any sense (especially if you side with the mages) and I'm just going to accept it as the anti-climactic ending to a fairly decent game.
I don't want DLC that somehow adds to the story during Act 1-3 for the following reasons:
a) I'm tired of Kirkwall and the same 10 maps.
B) Unless the DLC significantly adds real decision points for Hawke it's not worth it.
c) I don't need gold, weapons, or armor for the regular game.

What I do want is DLC (or expansion pack) that does the following:
1) Act 4 (Expansion Pack)! How does Hawke escape the city or what forces Viscount Hawke out of Kirkwall? What forces his companions to part ways and where do they all end up? Would be nice to have our companions and not just some replacements that end up being far more important than the player (I'm looking at you Anders/Justice). That said, new companions would be welcomed (I need a new Healer since Anders always dies at the end of Act 3).

2) Grey Warden DLC - Not our own Grey Warden (although that would be cool) but what the heck are Stroud, Nathaniel, possibly Alistair, and the others doing in the Free Marches while Hawke is playing errand boy? Would also be great if it chronicled Bethany/Carver as Grey Wardens. It always seemed to me that whatever they were doing was more important than anything Hawke does.

3) Something that covers the Eluvian (with or without Merrill), and just where the heck did Morrigan, the Warden Cousland, and the OGB get off to? Sadly they still feel more important to me than Hawke's and his "troubles."

4) New class Specialization: I'd like to see the return of the Dual Weapon Warrior (daggers are nice but I miss wielding a sword and an axe), The Arcane Warrior (revamped so you're not just switching between staves and sword/shield), and possibly an Archer tree that actually does something besides Hail of Arrows (a revamped Ranger would be cool and usable by both builds.)

5) This is a totally selfish request: More Merrill!

It would be awesome to actually see Starkhaven and Tantervale. On the load screens, it's mentioned that those, along with Kirkwall, are the largest cities in the Free Marches. As it turns out, the Free Marches has many other cities and regions that we've heard mentioned, but haven't seen. What a perfect time to incorporate them into DLC. A possible sidequest could be The Grand Tourney. Since a Champion is crowned at the tourney, wouldn't it be fitting if Hawke actually earned the title in a battle of skill?

Perhaps with this DLC it could be integrated within the main story, and the tourney would take place within one of the 3-year time warps. With the purchase of this new DLC, Sebastian's could just be tacked on as a freebie.


Re-posting...

Edit: Sorry, that was @kilshrek. I'm a little slow on the draw.

I wish it had been. But it probably would have been too much 'backstory' than the devs wanted for an action-packed intro to the game.

I'd still like it as DLC, but I'll be cautiously interested in any extra content that's more story and NPC interaction than combat and vanity items.

My other idea for DLC is Wynne + her Spirit of Faith catching up with Anders + his Spirit of Justice (be quiet, you can't kill him. He has nine lives, like his cat).

Let there be fireworks.

I see, sorry.

But I don't see Seb as free DLC any time soon.
Seems like too much effort to whip up some DLC, and then give away
another piece of DLC so's you can play the first DLC. How is anyone
going to make any money? - EA Overlord

They can't do too much with regard to the Mage/Templar war after act 3 for the simple reason most of that will be covered in DA3 I pressume the whole DA3 game will be based off it tbh I think. So when asking for what happens with regard to that conflict you have to realise your not going to get a complete ending explaining the war through DLC. They can do somethings regarding it but they would be limited if DA3 is about that war.

first year in Kirkwall working for mercenaries or smugglers (and the two actually being very different so the choice means something), meeting all those NPCs Hawke annoyingly knows but we don't like Elegant, etc and with followup quests for your chosen group later in the game

expanding on the family. able to visit Bethany or Carver in the Gallows if they were left behind. more Charade and Gamlen

Aveline's wedding

organising the nobles to support Hawke for Viscount regardless of whether or not Hawke supports the mages or the templars

that whole cut content bit of Teagan and Connor hiding from Templars

more Leliana

 I just want DLC that doesn't require me to replay the game to see it.
