I feel the same way about Leviathan; it was pointless. It didn't feel important enough to constitute a DLC. We already knew 99% of what it told it us, and the remaining 1% was... really stupid. It added no new enemies or anything gameplay wise. And the plot ultimately had no effect on anything; it's impossible to have tension because we already know how the story will end. "We need to find the Leviathans, this could be the key to winning the Reaper War!". No, it's not; we know that because we already won. We also know that nothing we're doing in this DLC matters, it's just a waste of time.

That's why I like Omega. I like it because it's a side mission that is its own self-contained story, not a pointless piece of the main story that doesn't effect anything. Remember, Mass Effect's only good DLC has been side stories: the hunt for the Shadow Broker and the mission to shut down Operation Overlord were not at all related to the fight with the Collectors.
