Downloadable content (Origins)

BioWare announced that it has planned out two years worth of downloadable content that will range from small items like rings and amulets, short adventures like the Warden's Keep, all the way to full expansion packs with dozens of hours of new game play. Some downloadable content can be purchased within the game with BioWare points, Microsoft points or through the Playstation Store; while others are promotional and can no longer be obtained.

Addons
These addons unlock new areas to discover, such as the Soldier's Peak or new characters and their backstories such as Shale. They can still be obtained - either by buying a new copy of Dragon Age: Origins or through the in-game interface with BioWare points, Microsoft points or through the Playstation Store.

Promotional
These promotional downloadable contents can still be obtained - either by uploading your character with Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator, playing Dragon Age Journeys, or simply buying a new copy of Dragon Age: Origins. Each of these DLCs unlock a powerful in-game item that are useful throughout the game. Others like the Collector's Edition of Dragon Age: Origins unlock multiple items.

Exclusive
These DLCs were originally available under limited circumstances as an incentive for purchasing particular editions of the game or from a particular retailer. Unless noted, they are also available to other players via manual installation.

Manually Installing Downloadable Contents
There are a few in-game bugs that restrict a player from downloading their content. These instructions are meant to help PC players to manually install their authorized DLC. Downloadable contents can be manually installed in the PC version of Dragon Age: Origins. However, some downloadable contents, such as Warden's Keep, requires authorization. As such, they cannot be enabled in-game until they have been authorized - either by entering a promotional code or by purchasing the content.

To install downloadable contents manually follow these instructions:
 * 1) Download the DAZIP file.
 * 2) Locate daupdater.exe in your game folder. For example, Steam users will find the the file at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dragon age origins\bin_ship\. Otherwise, the default location is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age\bin_ship.
 * 3) Run daupdater.exe
 * 4) Click Load DAZIPs and browse to the location where you downloaded your DLC .dazip file.
 * 5) Install it.
 * 6) Run Dragon Age: Origins and check your DLC
