I hope(very much) we've made our point about the faults of this DLC: lack of Solas story for some of us, generic fetch quests for others and so on.
I think it might also be worth it to let the developers know what we loved. "We want more of this, please!"
Personally, I loved the little quest "In Exile". It was about mages, it provided unique perspective on separation of mages and spirits, spirit teachers, and most importantly, it held a strong emotional connection for me: loneliness.
The character, the lonely young girl, had no friends, and her spirit guide, indeed, was the only one who loved her - or so she felt. You know, it reminded me of that old KOTOR1 quest with a lonely woman on Dantooine who had an unhealthy fixation on her droid and wanted him back. It is a little scary, yes, and it's supposed to be, but it's also beautiful, and here it makes a really good story. Not to mention that it also had a detective bit and some nice party member comments: Varric mentioning Kirkwall, Solas providing his 2c, and Cassandra, naturally, having her own strong opinion on the matter.
Honestly, I wish more of the side quests were like this. And I want to say thanks for this one, thanks so much.
Though it really makes no sense if spirits and mages can be separated that easily: it means all Anders' suffering and madness was for naught?
(There's also a small side quest about a scout who became an abomination to avenge his dead (boy)friend, but that one was fairly mundane/straightforward: you let him serve, or you kill him. Still, better than "kill three beasts, mark four points with herbs, congratulations, you beat it").
