I haven't played DA:O, but let's be fair here, a new player isn't going to know what the character says before they talk to them. Saying they forced in game advertising of the DLC on themselves is stupid. Bioware knows they're going to talk to this guy eventually. I can see the argument that you might not want to see this stuff advertised in game. If you're not interested in the DLC then you certainly don't want to see it, and if you are a big fan of the game then you probably know about it already, or will go looking for more information on the game.

Personally, I'm just not a big fan of developers making you feel like you're missing out just because you haven't given them more money, while you play their game. Especially since some people who aren't as well informed might mistake the DLC for being required. I'm sure it's not meant to be, but it strikes me as fairly underhanded.
