Importing Mass Effect 2 DLC to Steam

@KeenJin

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.

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?

I can confirm this works.

If anyone is trying this from scratch, I think I would recommend just:

1) Buy, download, and install all DLC via the Origin client

2) Re-verify integrity of game files in Steam - this doesn't wipe out DLC or save files

3) Boot via Steam

Here's the full list of steps I took to arrive at this:

1) Bought ME2 on Steam

2) Downloaded & installed all the free DLC via Origin client

3) Re-verified integrity of game files in Steam for booting to work

4) Found and downloaded all the DLC from the support page thinking it was free - tried to boot, but got the "Unable to authorize DLC" message, found this thread

5) Bought the DLC bundle on Origin, downloaded the two extra items that were not yet listed as installed

6) Re-verified integrity of game files again, booted on Steam and confirmed DLC working

Sorry for posting in an old thread. I found it helpful, hopefully others will find this helpful too 🙂

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.
