Re: Dragon Age: Origin DLCs not working

So,

I found out what the problem was:

2)  Sulcher’s Pass doesn’t show up on my map
      Levi isn’t in camp to give me the Warden’s Keep Quest.
      Bann Loren's Lands aren't on the map.

All of the main DLC’s have a separate piece, the “Offer”, which is where the quest givers (Levi, Felix, and Elric) live.

Check whether you have the Offer part installed

Go to My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Offers and look for the following directories.
 
dao_prc_ocp_2 (The Stone Prisoner)
dao_prc_onrx_1 (Warden’s Keep)
dao_prc_ocp_1 (Return to Ostagar)

Also check the My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Settings\Offers.xml file.  There should be an entry in there for each offer that is installed.  The game won't recognize an offer being installed unless it is in the Offers.xml file, so even if the directory is there, its not counted as installed unless its in the Offers.xml file.

If the directory is not there, the offer is not in the offers.xml file, or there is no offers.xml file, you can try to manually download and install the offers. (Even if they're there you might try reinstalling them just in case.)

The Stone Prisoner (Offer only)
Warden's Keep (Offer only)
Return to Ostagar (Offer Only)
 
Right click on the above link for the DLC you have having problems with and select “Save Target As”, or the equivalent in your browser. Save the .dazip file to your computer. If your browser tries to rename it to .zip file, rename it back to .dazip after download.
 
Find the daupdater.exe application, it is usually located in the bin_ship directory in your Dragon Age Installation (For example C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daupdater.exe) Double click on it to open it.
 
Click on Select DAZIPs.  Navigate to where you have saved the .dazip file and open it.

Now the .dazip file will appear on the Install tab.  Select it on the list and click Install Selected.
 
Restart the game and see if that has resolved things.

 As listed in this post:

I'm now waiting for EA Support to give me links to the offers, since the links in the post no longer work.

Or if someone else could upload them and post a link that would be great!

Hope this helps other people having the same problem!

I'll update once I get downloadlinks!

    OMG it actually worked the offer dazips are not on the your registered game content page!! I had to get the offers for Stone Prisoner and Return to Osatagar Warden's keep was a standalone .exe and worked fine. You know how confusing this is? So now I have 2 dazips for 2 addins. At least I got em back. I have given up on available content tab I gues that is dead forever.
