Hi there, I have a Steam account and have Mass Effect 2 on there. Being such a great game I'd like to add to the experience with some DLC but am unsure as to how to import the Bioware site's DLC t...

    Just download the installers from BSN, put them in the ME2 directory and run the installers.

    If you can't download the DLCs, register you ME2 Steam keys at the BSN under "My Games" > "Register Game", then you can download them under "My Games" > "Your registered game content".

As said in the other thread:

The DLCs for Mass Effect 1 are now included in both the Steam and the Origin version of the game.

For Mass Effect 2:

Only the DLCs under "Cerberus Network Downloads:" are free to use. The DLCs under "DLC" musts still be bought beforehand. They will not get authorised in game if you don't own them.

Again. I didn't get the DLCs for ME. And that's why I posted the link. You can download every ME and ME2 DLC on there. That's also why I said syke.

    No problem, I just pointed out that this ME2 DLCs:

       Genesis
        Arrival
        Overlord
        Lair of the Shadow Broker
        Kasumi – Stolen Memory
        Firepower Pack
        Aegis Pack
        Equalizer Pack
        Alternate Appearance Pack 1 (Garrus, Thane, Jack)
        Alternate Appearance Pack 2 (Tali, Grunt, Miranda)

    are not free, they still must be bought before you can use them.

    Since recently there are also DLC bundles for both ME2 and ME3 available in the Origin Store.

      quick Q.

      i already have ME2 over at steam, but without any dlcs.

      if just buy ME2 dlc bundle over at origin and download those from the ea support page then install them... will i be fine to play the dlcs?

      or will there be any complications requiring me to take some more steps whatsoever those may be?

        That is a very good question.

        It was possible to do that as long as BSN was online, but whether it works now, after BSN has been dropped is not clear.

        If it don't works you may need to redeem the Steam CD key at Origin and reinstall the game with Origin.

      HI all, sorry im a few years late.. but where can i buy this dlc now today in 2018?

      i found the dlc bundle on origin, but it needs the blood dragon armor from other games & dlc? origin knew this, showed me a link to add it to my dlc purchase, but then gave me an error message..

      so i was planning on dumping my steam copy, grabbing the game on origin with the full dlc's... but the error has given me doubts.. along with the usual ea/bioware debacle when issues arise, websites closed etc etc..

      what the hell do i do to get the full dlc? i can only see the games on origin & no link to preview dlc's... the bundle i found was a link i saved.

      enjoying the series.. then came this ME2 dlc issue... i see a lot of the dlc content can affect ME3.. so naturally when i saw that i wanted it.. i was nearly at end of game so found the EA old game page and grabbed the lot..

      usual trouble only the cerberus ones working..  none of the list below works..  although genesis & shadow broker is listed in my cerbeurus terminal.. but i cant access anything on that anyway.. it just shows me & i can click next page..

      I came from SWTOR... so ea / bioware issues were common... i cant believe ive found same problems again 🙂 i just want to play mass effect 2 qith dlc's, then play the 3rd game... whats wrong with that ffs?

        They don't work because you don't own them.

        After you redeemed the Steam product key in Origin you can either buy the ME2 DLC bundle or any DLC separately with Bioware Points.

        You don't need external links, all DLCs (including the Blood Dragon Armour) can be downloaded inside Origin under the "Extra Content" tab inside the game page.
