Hmm... Is it only me then who actually thought the Leandra death was pretty good? I mean, I didn't see it as disappointing at all - I was actually hoping and hoping as I traversed that place that I'd be able to save her, and it's one of the only times DA2 ever made me think like that... Certainly, the Carver/Bethany death at the beginning was pretty lame, but for me, as somebody who was very disappointed with DA2, I thought All That Remains was fantastic (in fact, the best part of the game?).
It would have, even if she did die in the end..but it had a major plot hole, a glaring one...again. My Hawke, does magic off the boat, she causes murder and mayhem in broad daylight all the time. But she has to wait until dark to go looking for her mother? Knowing that there is a vase of lillie sitting on the table at home, knowing what that means? If my mother had been taken by a serial killer, and I knew that? Hell couldn't stand in my way let alone waiting for a few hours. The excuse for such was...paper thin and left me feeling anger at her death because my Hawke had to sit around with her thumbs up her ass...again.
Other than that..yeah it would have been a really cool part of the game (stil was on some levels) and would have been even better with choices to save her.
