    I have spent several hours trying to get this to work. Found another solution, Easiest step to fix DLC issues for DA 2 Ultimate Edition from EA Play on Steam.

    I will write it down here for future reference, it might be helpful for another player if they came across my post. This is 100% guarantee fixed for STEAM user

    1. Open Dragon Age 2 and Login, after login is completed, quit the game

    2. download all dlc from https://help.ea.com/au/help/faq/dlc-for-classic-games/ 

    3. download  7zip from https://www.7-zip.org/   (You have to install 7zip, only 7zip can let you open inside .exe file, RAR won't let you do that)

    4. After you done installing 7zip. go to your desired dlc .exe and use your mouse

    - right click, search for 7zip and click it, click open archive

    5.you will see folders inside .exe file for example 

    $TEMP,

    $PLUGINSDIR,

    $_2_

    6. Open each of its folders and drag all items into :\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dragon Age II\addins

    7.Open the game and enjoy

    Try to put the DLC installer exe inside the DA2 game folder and run it from there.

        • Make sure EA app and Steam are completely closed.
        • Go here and download the "Revo Uninstaller". (The freeware version, Portable version works too.)
        • Run "Revo Uninstaller" > Uninstall DA2.
        • At the end of the main uninstall, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. > Select "Intensive" > Browse.
        • If "Remaining registration content found" is displayed > Select All > Delete > Next
        • When "Remaining Data and Folders" is displayed > Select All > Delete.
        • Restart the PC > Download DA2 from Steam again > Restart your PC > Start DA2 for one time >  Test.
