 I just recently bought Dragon Age II for $15 bucks, finished my first playthrough and liked it alot. For a second playthrough, I was wondering if the DLC (Legacy, Mark of the Assassin, Exiled Prince) was worth it for $27 ?

Opinions?

Legacy is generally regarded as the best of the three DLCs, as it's a fun dungeon crawl that introduces some interesting backstory to the Hawke family as well as another big revelation about the nature of the darkspawn. It's a stand-alone DLC that can be played any time, including once the game is done, though if you play it during the campaign you'll get some good gold and equipment to use. The worst that can be said about it is that the end boss fight requires A LOT of micro-management.

Mark of the Assassin is another stand-alone DLC like Legacy. Whereas Legacy is fairly dark and serious, MotA is a very light-hearted, comedic story. (There's some tough fights in this one, though.) Generally, the story is well-liked, but opinions are divisive on the companion you must use for this one, an elven assassin named Tallis who's played by Felicia Day. Again, some good equipment out of this one (though not as good as that in Legacy.)

Note: some of the dialogue in both DLCs will change depending on when you play through them. If you play MotA in Act 3, for instance, a lot of people will comment on how you killed (or got rid of) the Arishok.

The Exiled Prince is character DLC that introduces a new party member, a monk/archer named Sebastian. In terms of usefulness, he's about par with Varric in combat (though Varric is the better lock-picker). Over the course of the DLC, you help him gain revenge for his murdered family. Opinons on that DLC basically depend on whether you like Sebastian. I personally think he's a great guy, similar to Leliana in DAO, but some people find him boring or stuck-up.

Note: unlike Legacy or MotA, the Exiled Prince must be played during the main game. That's because it has quests in all three acts of the game. (Also, keep in mind that Sebastian won't join your party until Act 2.)

I liked all three, if you can't tell. I generally put Legacy at the top of the list, with MotA and The Exiled Prince tied for second. (I liked Sebastian more than Tallis, but the story in MotA was more fun.)

I have no comment on the item packs. I didn't use them and I wasn't interested in them.

Thanks! I went ahead and bought all three after reading this.

Good. I quite agree with the summary/opinion already given. Enjoy, OP!

I didn't care for MotA. But Legacy is the best thing Bioware has done in the last 2.5 years. Only because they have been dropping the ball on everything else lately.

MotA I got for free and after drudging through it, I had an urge to ask for some money back.

I've only played Legacy and Mark of the Assassin. I didn't buy the Exiled Prince because through research, my Hawke ultimately wouldn't like him, basically, so I figured it would be a waste of money.
Personally, I didn't enjoy Legacy as much as I thought I would because I'm not a huge fan of combat in many games, and Legacy felt like a long dungeon that wouldn't be fun to play over and over again. It did have some interesting puzzles, and relatively enjoyable boss battles, but it felt a bit like it would have the same experience if played multiple times.
For me, Mark of the Assassin was a fun and unique experience that had many new areas introduced. As I said earlier, I'm not a fan of combat, and it was nice to have breaks now and then, especially when you get to mingle with guests in the manor. I still play that sequence many times over, because it's just so...like, chilled.

The tallis character is annoying, MoTA is great otherwise. Though i suppose if tallis doesnt bother you, you'd prolly like it.
