On a scale from Horrible to Fantastic, I would rate both JoH and Descent a solid Pretty Good. They were entertaining side adventures and I had fun playing them. They didn't really add much to the overarching story of the Inquisitor, but for what they were - a few hours running around with my character through new landscapes with decent self-contained plots - I enjoyed them.
I think they contribute to the comment in Trespasser about how the IQ now believes the Inquisition must fix everything.
All I can say is as a XBOX 360 user I am only able to get one DLC story mission for DAI so....
Dude, the XBox 360 is over nine years old. I really don't blame Bioware for giving up on the old horse.
So far, I'd rank DAI's DLC as the worst of the bunch. I think a big part of that is because there's a disconnect between the main story and the DLC. Or in the case of JoH, while it ties together because of the Inquisition, it felt more like a side story that was more about lore than actually about helping you resolve anything in DAI's main story.
I don't know. Both have just been so underwhelming compared to past DLC. ME's DLC, in particular, really added to the game, both in terms of content but also in how seamlessly it tied into the main game.
What? Most of Me dlc are side stories....More so with ME1 and 2. That's a lame excuse.
Is there a difference in this?The Inquisitor, or Mom....
Is there a difference in this?
Celene! Don't argue with Alistair. And Alistair, stop pulling her hair or I turn the eluvian around right now!
*Applesauce* Priceless!
I wouldn't say the worst, but in terms of companion content... probably. I mean Descent was the quietest dlc ever. Your companions hardly talked and normal banter didn't even seem to happen (at least for me anyway).
Nah. The Black whatever is a good DLC.
No? I'd argue that outside of Awakening, most of DAO's were terrible. Both Hakkon and Descent added a lot to the lore.
Yet, they're very simple, uninspiring, and overpriced. I'm inclining to OP's side, DAI's DLCs so far are ME1 level if not worse, buy I did enjoy a lot the main story and the rest.

The last thing I can say of Decent was that it was quiet. You're normal companions don't talk much...But your new ones do.
Simple? Did we play the same game? I certainly don't remember Jaws being simple in story or gameplay.
You want simple try Return to Ostagar, simple and very uninspired. Warden's Keep was much the same...
DAI dlc actually adds to the game and the world. Of all the DA dlc, only Legacy had a bigger impact on game and lore.
try again.

Wait what? Jaws was about investigating and uncovering. Decent was basically out thinking your way around walls all the time. That's far from simple.....Unless you mean story....Then simple does not equal bad.
Origins DLCs were rather bland. DAI was far better.
Yes, we did, you think any extra information about the lore suddenly makes the whole DLC good, cause that's they way you apparently judge, when the entire storyline is forgettable and nothing of special.
I'll play whatever I want, and those DLCs aren't excellent as well
Yes, because it makes us see the bigger picture. DA is about the WORLD of THEDUS. It about use see how things came to be and what happens next. The stories of now are just a piece of a bigger story and in them are near inconsequential to seeing the full truth by themselves. The net is so big that if you don't look into the lore you miss big hints to the plot. Like the Avvar connection to the old gods, Mythal and, the Titans.

When something tries to only set things up instead of developing it's own thing, it usually ends mediocre, DAI's DLCs are no exception.
They don't just set up things, they also answer questions. Here are a few answers, right off the top of my head. Is there more to the dwarven kingdoms than what's in the shaperate? Yes. Is there more to the Deep Roads than Darkspawn? Yes. Could there actually be something besides religious-stubborn-wrong-headedness behind the "return to the Stone" belief of the Dwarves? Yes. Is lyrium something more interesting than just a blue magic power Gatorade? Yes.
See? You just have to practice not ignoring the answers.

But it was not. It did have it's own self contained stories, it just added more to the great story of the series then the main story. Near all the da dlc's did that. The only ones that was directly connect to the main story of the game it was connected to were Return to Ostagar, Stone prisoner, and DA:A. Everything else was just side stuff with it's own self contained story that added more to the greater plot of the series.

Oh sure, they keep you busy with silly puzzles and side quests while you don't until the end and discovers the BIG surprise which is nothing but underwhelming, what a fantastic experience.
What? That Darkspawn horde you face in decent was no simple task and the big surprise in decent was not underwhelming. Just not all the questions you want to asked are answered.
Any small book could've done that, instead, an overpriced DLC that barely contains any actual decent storyline is released and not only answers few questions that apparently makes them great (!), but they add more questions as evidenced by Quizzy's last line in The Descent DLC. Wow, I'm impressed.
You do understand that this is a video game medium, right? You want books, go read Stephen King.

Bs. There is a huge difference between telling and showing. No way could understand the greatness of a titan unless you saw it first hand. It literally is beyond common understanding. So much by just seeing it makes you ask more questions.

As a matter of fact, go read something you like, since you obviously don't like these storytellers and the medium they use to tell their story.
