There is not upgrade option, you would need to purchase TGOTY edition. Sorry

Or just the DLC.

I just opened a similar topic asking for this to change. How is it fair that if someone actually bought the game he now has to spend 55-65 Euro (depending on which version the person owned) to get the same package as someone buying the game now just because that person made the mistake to buy the game when it came out? I thought EA said that they want to better themselves after being voted the worst company in the world how many times in a row? I think this is no way to treat customers. If you own the game you should get an upgrade to the Game of the Year edition for the cost of the difference between how much you paid originally and how much the GOTY version costs.
At this point in time I will have to be a party pooper and say the following:
The Witcher 3 by CD Project Red delivered 16 free DLC with it's core game. It's first DLC which has a playing time of well over 10 hours (without the stuff like having to somehow get to stupidly impossible ledges to get some shard and all that rubbish that increases the games time without adding any content). And costs 8 Euro. The Next DLC will be twice as long and will probably cost around 15 Euro. That's 23 Euro I gladly spend extra because I know that will be the end of it and a far cry from 65 Euro. So how is it that a small game developer like CDPR can afford to make offers like this yet EA can not.

It has always been like this. The longer you wait, the more the prices drop. I agree than an upgrade option would be nice, but this isn't the first time this happened to the Dragon Age series. The same thing happened with Dragon Age: Origins, where the Ultimate Edition, which contains all the DLC and the expansion, is a separate purchase only, so I think we could have expected it to happen to DAI as well. If you want to avoid this in the future, wait a year before you buy a game. I do this with most franchises already. If you wait another year, the DAI GOTY edition will probably go on sale someday to be cheaper than even one DLC pack. I believe I bought the DAO Ultimate Edition for €5 during a holiday sale.

A crossbow here, a few Gwent card reskins there, and some other useless additions made the DLC seem far less impressive once it was actually installed. Other games have had more impressive free DLC offerings, Mass Effect 2 being one of them.
