@Lily: It had a few nuggets of information about the vorcha and an explanation of where indoctrination came from. That's about it, and those are tiny things you can read about on this wiki.

Yes, we didn't know how Leviathan would end. But we did know that ultimately it would have no effect on anything; the whole point was to find forces to help you fight the Reapers. Except we've already defeated the Reapers, so we know that nothing we're doing matters in the least. And when you finally reach the Leviathans, they tell you very little you don't know from the Extended Cut, and what you didn't know just makes them look like colossal idiots, essentially making the entire story of Mass Effect an idiot plot. This is on top of the DLC having very little content overall- an hour and a half of recycled Reaper fights (just play a Silver game in multiplayer, it's the same experience) and another half hour of pointless repeating of things we already knew.

To compare it to a better DLC: in Lair of the Shadow Broker, we knew that helping Liara find and kill the Shadow Broker wouldn't have an effect on the whole Collector mission. But it did have a huge effect on its own self-contained story; the story of Liara and the Shadow Broker. We wanted to succeed to help our friend, something we couldn't do in the base game. By contrast, the conflict of Leviathan has already been resolved; we don't need the Leviathans and we know that. Not to mention that LOTSB contained way more information than Leviathan ever did, mostly nice humorous nuggets about the characters, which are the true core of the story.
