Re: Dragon Age 2 - Buy the DLC or are they given freely ?

Several years ago BDtS was made freely available to all who purchased ME1.  I'm not aware of any other DLC for the ME-series that was.

Similarly some of the "item" DLC for DA-series was made freely available, but none of the "story" ones.

    Thanks, guess my hopes were too high but ... then again, I understand. They still sell the games of course, so selling the DLC's isn't absurd. I just felt very excited about this page and how I suddenly believed it was already Christmas !

    EDIT : I've tried with Witch Hunt (DA:O story DLC) and it works perfectly fine. Guess it's only for ME1 and DA:O. Just saying if anyone else here has had the same questions than me.

    I'm not sure what's going on with Witch Hunt but officially it isn't free and is still meant to be a paid DLC.

    The DLC on that page that are officially free are:

    Dragon Age Origins:

    The Stone Prisoner

    Dragon Age II:

    The Black Emporium

    Mass Effect:

    Bring Down The Sky

    Pinnacle Station

    Mass Effect 2:

    Firewalker Pack

    Zaeed - The Price of Revenge

    Cerberus Weapon and Armor

    Normandy Crash Site

    Cerberus Arc Projector

    There are actually more free DLC for this which can be obtained via the Origin client for PC or via the in-game menu on the Xbox (not sure about PlayStation 3). They are:

    Recon Hood

    Sentry Interface

    Umbra Visor

    Blood Dragon Armor

    Terminus Weapon and Armor

    Need For Speed Shift 2 - Unleashed:

    Speedhunters and Legends Pack

    Everything else on that page is still meant to be paid DLC.

  • It's been so long since I had to check into the subject, I hadn't realized they made TSP free-to-download. Good job. Everyone who plays DAO should be able to meet Shale!

    I think they may have done that around the time EA got rid of the "Online Pass" for all their games. Shale and Cerberus Network were the equivalents for BioWare and were made available for everyone.
