A few samples:

Yrkoon asked this question:

I got a question. The answer of which will determine whether I bother with this DLC.
I like dungeon-crawls. Who here doesn't? But what I'm craving right now is a role-playing experience. If you had to define this DLC would you define it as
a) a hack and slash with a dash of story and decision-making sprinkled in??
b) a story/RP experience with a dash of hack and slash sprinkled in?

John Epler from Bioware answered:

How about : A story where the gameplay is directly informed by the narrative. As in, your motivation for completing this DLC is entirely story-driven. There's combat, certainly, and no small amount of it, but I feel that most (if not all) fights makes sense within the context of the narrative as a whole. Creatures aren't just being dropped so we can say 'IT'S TIME FOR A FIGHT!' Of course, everyone's perception of this will be different. But I certainly felt that the story in this DLC was particularly compelling, and woven rather well into the module as a whole.

Dormiglione asked this:

Will the Bonus items of Legacy carry over in new playthrough?

The answer to this was given by John Epler as well:

Then no, any DLC gear you acquire through Legacy has to be acquired -as- part of Legacy. I think the reason it was done in that fashion with Leliana's Song was because it was an adventure that wasn't really integrated with the Warden's adventure in the same way. Since we were already handwaving as to why you had an item related to an adventure you weren't a participant in, it made it easier to handwave that 'okay, now you always have that gear'.
