Missing dialogues in DLCs

Hi, I'm having some troubles with the DLCs I installed for Dragon Age 2. A couple of days ago I got Mark of The Assassin, Legacy and The Exiled Prince from Origin (which is also where I downloaded Dr...

Hey, @AstraeaNevermore!
I had the exact same problem and almost went mad trying to solve it. However, I found a solution! You probably don't care anymore, but maybe it'll help players in the future?! I don't know.
Anyway, since the DLC(s) autorun claims Dragon Age II is not installed (and we both know it is), you'll have to open the DLC(s) file with 7-zip. You'll see 3 different folders (ignore the $TEMP one if you come across it). First, create a new folder called plugins in your Dragon Age II directory (usually Origin Games<Dragon Age II) and extract the content of $PLUGINSDIR in it. You will only have to do this once.
Then open $[34] and click on addins. You should be able to check which DLC it is now (the folder is usually called da2_prc_xxx). Now go to Origin Games<Dragon Age II<addins and click on the proper folder. For example, if it's Legacy go to Origin Games<Dragon Age II<addins<da2_prc_drk. Then extract the content of $[34] AND $_OUTDIR in it.
Tada! Problem fixed :womanwink:
Try it and let me know if it worked for you as well!
NOTE: I used xxx, but that's just to compile all 3 letter endings of the individual DLC(s) without having to write them all down!

Thank you so much, Lyvine!

It worked for me. The only differerence it was no $_OUTDIR folder for me. So I just extracted $PLUGINSDIR+ dlc main content in Origin Games<Dragon Age II<addins<DLC name folder.
