So I am going to be very predictable and say that my least favorite quest is the Fade sequence in Broken Circle. I know this puts me in company with most of the fandom, but so be it. It's a structural problem, really -- the Tower itself is a linear, unescapable dungeon, so to be thrown into a second linear unescapable dungeon in the middle makes the whole thing feel much longer and more tedious. It also feels really unfair that you can't stock up for it. My first time through, we didn't realize what was coming, so I hadn't bulked up on healing potions, and my warrior Cousland died a lot. Normally I like dungeons with a puzzle aspect, but this particular one didn't appeal to me as much. About the only thing it has going for it are the character moments in their individual nightmares -- Alistair's, in particular, I found very telling, and Sten's as well -- but because I always do Broken Circle very early in the game, I'm limited as to which characters can participate. If only I could play on PC and install the "Skip the Fade" mod -- that and the Grey Warden armor are the only ones I'd be tempted to use.
Anyway, that's my answer, and I'm sticking to it.
I actually don't think I have a least favorite quest in Dragon Age 2. I don't love them all uniformly, of course, but I can't think of one I dislike above all others.

I died a lot in the bit where you find the mage apprentices, but the rest was OK. I do think I would have found it a lot harder and more irritating without the walkthrough, though - and I'd never have found all of the upgrades.
I wish there was a Skip The Deep Roads mod. Aside from the creepy part with Hespith, the Broodmother and Branka/Caridin - YAWWWN. So much brown/grey. The Deep Roads in DA2 are beautiful in comparison.
Heh, I am unusual in that I really like the Deep Roads. Especially now that I've played through as a dwarf and so feel like I have a better connection to Orzammar and the rest of the history. And I thought the sepia tones added to the underground atmosphere.
And the character scenes are awesome! I love all of them.
Plus, all those free attribute points...
I wonder how much it has to do with how soon you do the quest. So far, the Circle has been my first or second place to visit, and so my characters are much less powerful when I've attempted it.
My second playthrough, with my rogue, I did it first because I wanted Wynne very much (heals!) ... but I knew it was coming so I stocked up on healing potions. And I still liked it. :P
