I only have the Black Emporium, since it came with my game. Is the rest of the DLC worth getting? I like the game a lot. Although I hope the DLC doesn't recycle the locations some more.
How's the Dragon Age II DLC? Worth getting?

There are three story DLCs: The Exiled Prince, Legacy and Mark of the Assassin.
The Exiled Prince introduces a new character to your party and some very nice mid and late-game gear, but it's really only worth getting if you're starting a new playthrough of the game. The reason why is because the Exiled Prince has quests in each of the three acts of DA2. In the first act, you're called on to slaughter some mercenaries who killed the titular Exiled Prince's family, which in turn leads to the second act quest where you recruit Sebastian as a full party member. You can't play through The Exiled Prince post-game.
Legacy and Mark of the Assassin are self-contained story DLCs that can be played at any time throughout DA2, even post-game. (Though playing them post-game is the same as playing them in Act 3; no one makes reference to how things turned out at the end of DA2.) You'll be happy to hear that neither DLC recycles maps and features all new areas, aside from five minute spent in Hightown at the start of MotA.
Of the two, Legacy is generally regarded as the better. It has some major revelations about Hawke's family and the darkspawn, there are a host of new monsters and the gear is all very good. The one downside to Legacy is that the end boss battle can be very frustrating unless you like to micro-manage your party.
MotA is very light in tone and generally aims for comedy rather than drama. There are some new beasties here and the DLC actually bases the gear you get on who you bring along in your party. Reviews on the temporary companion that tags along with you are mixed; I'l spoil it now and tell you that the DLC features Tallis from the Dragon Age Redemption series. If you watched Redemption and hated it, I dont' recommend MotA.
I can't speak to the Item packs as the idea of just paying for extra equipment doesn't appeal to me.

If you also have the Item bundles, you're going to feel a bit over-stuffed with equipment.

Exciled prince was good. Legacy was pretty good too. Mark of the assassin had the most annoying elf ever, though. And aparantly she can leap backwards for 5 yards. i am guessing she was a mage\\rogue combo. Her neck was twice as long as other elves necks too. You`d need 4 hands to throttle her.

Legacy is definitely my favorite out of the trio, but I'd recommend getting all of them, especially if you liked the main game.
Legacy and MotA take place outside of Kirkwall, with unique locations, while Exiled Prince is in Kirkwall, though most of which can be completed while playing the game as usual.
Since Exiled Prince gives you a new companion, you don't want to save that until too far into the game.

I have had nothing but trouble with The Exiled Prince dlc. Most of the problems are in act 2 but my game will crash in any of the acts while doing this dlc. The other 2 I really enjoy and would recommend.
