It's good but it's like, one mission only that you can finish in 20 min. It has some nice lore in it tho.

Nonessential, barely one-hour-long side quest through a small dungeon with a generic story that is worth completing for the free inventory space, at least.

What's in it:
A good dungeon to play through.
A decent story.
Interesting lore implications.
New skills.
New endgame items.
A stash (bank).

Warden's Keep adds a singular quest that has the Warden journey to an abandoned Grey Warden fortress and free it from demons. In it, they can potentially acquire a couple of new abilities (of variable usefulness, depending on the Warden's class) as well as the gorgeous Warden Commander armor set and some blood mage equipment. Finally, there's a chest at the keep that allows storing valuable items for later, something that was sorely missing from the base game.

It's a rather simple DLC -- it's fine if you own the Ultimate Edition, as it feels like a fun little sidequest in the middle of nowhere, but as $7 DLC, it's a bit... oof. Even worse when you think about this as a basic game feature (the party chest), as well as one of the nicer looking armor sets, being cut and sold separately.

Probably the best premium content in the game.

power of blood is the rawest shit ever absolutely the best skills in the game

Challenging little mini-dungeon that gives you some solid writing and a few pieces of great gear for completing it. It's basically just like the "Return to Ostagar" DLC except Bioware clearly took the time to craft a decent story and a couple of new characters to keep the player interested. Inessential, but not a bad addition if you want to get some more hours out of your playthrough.
