I don't know why the topic I opened has been locked. Anyway, I figured out on my own how to sort this out. My problem was already mentioned on other forums. Seems like the installer goes nuts sometimes and actually isn't working properly. I succeeded by following the upcoming suggestions:
Open up your Dragon Age game folder.

Open addins, then dao_prc_ep_1 under there.

Right-click Edit the manifest.xml file.

Select from the <AddInItem line all the way down to and including the </AddInItem> line (this is almost the entire contents of the file).

Copy it to the clipboard.

Open your My Documents folder.

Open up BioWare, Dragon Age, Settings.

Right-click Edit the AddIns.xml file.

Go right to the bottom of this file, and immediately before the final </AddInList> tag (ie. right after the last </AddInItem> tag, paste the text you copied earlier.

Save and close everything, then run the game. Awakening should appear properly now.

Hope this helps you too! I can't see why they don't repair the installer for such an important game. Probably still the best one avaliable on Origin. Unexplainable!!!

Looks like Awakening downloaded via Origin missing voice and facial animation files. I had same exact problem with DA2 Legacy DLC. It was resolved by downloading that DLC from https://social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php , but there is no Awakening DLC there. Where can I download proper Awakening?

p.s. My DA: O is English (don't know why, it is supposed to be Russian), DA: O-Awakening is probably Russian, DA2 is Russian subtitles only.
p.p.s. BioWare, I hate you so much!
