Could someone clue me in. Mass Effect 1 & 2, and DragonAge 2 doesn't require Origin, so how does one go about getting the DLC for said games?

Hey!

Cheers,

That Capra Demon....beware.

Hello Fellow Cheap Asses, if anyone is willing to sell me "Total War Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai" from the bundle, I will be happy to get it pronto. Not only you will get my $$ but also my thanks. PM please.

Editor's Choices are looking good, not that I am interested in ANY of the games mentioned but at least it shows that quality stuff will be offered. Good stuff!

Edit: I want to get this game to play multiplayer with my brother in Canada, how can I tell if this thing is region locked or not? thanks in advance

ME 1 has one free DLC and the second is only available to purchase through Origin, but still doesn't require Origin once activated.

Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 have the link to purchase the DLC through Bioware's own website exclusively.

I believe you need to make a bioware account and can get it through there?

Yup.
And you have to use $$ (via Credit Card) to BUY some BioWare Points to even buy the DLC, as well.
One major problem - BioWare Points got on sale like once every year, IF THAT...

WTF!?! Seriously? That's the only way to get the dlc?

Yep....

...Though, one exception - you can buy ME1: Pinnacle Station DLC via Origin, if you really want to.

About the Editors Choice list... it is the complete list or they will add more titles before january?

I just added it up, that's another $60 for Mass Effect 2 DLC (understanding that some of it is not necessary).

So it sounds like the Bioware Pack of DA:O Ultimate, DA2, ME1, and ME2 is totally devoid of any of the DLCs for those games?

I'm close to pickup up the pack- but as I recall, the Mass Effect DLCs were fairly substantial right? I think the Mass Effect Trilogy that is out does include DLCs- may be worth waiting for a deal on that in 3-6 months

can someone please talk me out of getting civ5 goty + g&k expansion?

@Garbanzo
Thanks for the link!

@Tony
OMG @ this list. Seriously - are you trying to make me go broke in January?
That list often shuffles in Jan 2013 and probably isn't NOWHERE near complete - yet it looks AWESOME already!
:-X

Yeah the whole DLC system in Bioware games blows. I got $20 worth of Bioware points almost a year ago for half off thankfully. Only time I saw them on sale so far.

They never put the DLC on sale either.

Awesome game with tons and tons of content and playing time. Well worth it

Thanks guys. I'm gonna assume then since it's one key, that if you have the base game and some dlc already on Steam, you won't be able to use the key on that account then. Had told a friend about the sale, but he has the base game and one of the dlcs already.

Just to check. Fall of Samurai went down to 15$?
I *almost* bought Rise of Samurai instead of Fall of Samuria. :/ Good thing I caught myself.

Thanks.
