It was my understanding that they discontinued selling DLC for these games as the only ones they now sell is the Ultimate Edition for DA, and I think the DLC are free for DA2. It has been awhile since I have dealt with buying DA2 stuff, so forgive me for not being 100% sure.
Basically, as far as I know, NO there isn't a way for DA, but DLC maybe free for DA2. Usually you can get them on sale with all DLC during sales for 5 dollars (US) during sales rather than the 40+ normal price. I would recommend waiting for a sale and buying Ultimate for 1.
Edited to add: Double check you have the standard version instead of the Ultimate versions as that is the only one I know that is sold lately. I am surprised that the standard version would be available for sale, honestly.
I got the games through old physical copies - the CD keys were still unredeemed. Both games appear in my library as the standard edition.
I prefer having physical copies for older games like these, but it seems this time it really screwed me over.
I don't see any way to acquire DA2's DLC, so I guess the only way now is to purchase the ultimate edition.
So it seems I'm not gonna be access the DLCs at all unless I repurchase both games.
Oh well, at least the games look nice on my shelf...
Edit: Upon some investigation, it turns the DLC was made free for ALL owners of the games last year. For whatever reason, activating an old CD key meant I didn't get the DLC for whatever reason. Is there some way to contact EA support about this?

Try to install the DLCs from this EA page.

I've tried that page, but there's two problems.
1. Not all of the DLC is there.
2. The installers seems to be for people who already have the DLC registered to their EA accounts - for me, the DLCs show up in the in-game downloadable content menus as "unauthorized" and do not function in actual gameplay.
