Promotional Pack not Downloading
I recently decided to start playing both this and the second game again after not touching them for a few years. I'm still not sure why my original installations have stopped working but that's my own problem and beside the point. I decided to give Origin a try and I got my free digital versions of both games using the serial numbers that came with the boxed copies. I was happy to see that it still registered all the DLC's I had bought, but am very confused (and a little vexed) that I'm not given the exclusive pre-order bonuses I had aquired from gamestop, hot topic, and making a character to transfer into the main game before launch. I see that the pre-order bonuses are now considered part of the Promotional Pack DLC and I did acquire the free full release of it from Bioware's Site years ago, but I wasn't given it from the start here and when I try to download it I'm asked for a serial number (I think to confirm my copy of the game). If they want the serial numbers that came with my receipts then those are long gone as I disposed of them after I used them and just inputting my game's serial number again does nothing because I already used that to get my free download of the game. I could really use some help to understand how I can get these pre-order items again.
Are you certain you're using the same account you orignally claimed the promo DLC on?
Either way, you could try just claiming them again (sign into the account you have registered the games on obviously): http://social.bioware.com/da2/dlc_bundle/
I just did and I wasn't asked for a serial, it just said "Success! Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II promotional items have been entitled to your account."
Edit* - Scratch that, they don't show for download in Origin which for some reason says buy now. You have to download and install them manually from your BSN user entitlements page instead: https://social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php
