Thanks Pete, i’ll do that but hope I am not missing something in the main game folder! Because if you don’t have it all, and your PC goes down forcing a DA re-install, and you try to put the DLC back and it’s not everything you need so it doesn’t work, your left with no way to fix the problem ever!

@UK_John – Under Windows 7 there’s a Bioware folder in your Documents folder. I’d just back up that whole directory, thought there’s (iirc, writing from work) there’s an Addons directory that holds the DLC (I assume).

A bigger issue is… are there some kind of DRM licenses hidden away somewhere else?

I am thinking of a more long-term issue, what if you have a PC issue and need to re-install 6 months from now – where will you get all the DLC your entitled to, whether the free DLC that came with the game, free DLC that came from a retailer special or even paid for DLC?

For safety’s sake I would love to know what folder(s) I need to backup to make sure I still have all the DLC I am entitled to that I can ‘re-load into my game and have it recognised. Any idea’s?

Excellent news! I’m so glad you got it working. I was kind of grinding my teeth on Twitter today when Garnett Lee mentioned the same exact problem you were having and Bioware *immediately* responded to him. Sure, keep the ‘internet celebs’ happy, but quit ignoring your paying customers!

Alright, the link I posted above did fix my problem! All my DLC is downloading now! As for Croakerjoe’s question, some of the equipment is held by Bodhan in your camp, according to the DLC description.

I’ve only created 1 character, but the rings and some books showed up in my inventory. The stuff like Warden’s Keep you (I assume) encounter in your travels. I got a quest that popped up when I got the DLC and I assume it leads me to the Keep.

Tho come to think of it, I’m not sure I got the Bloodsworn (?) armor..the stuff that you can use in Mass Effect 2 as well.

It’s all crazy confusing, this stuff..

Do you get the various free DLC for each character created or only the first? Also, for the items, the ring, armor and such, do you have to find them in-game or does it just appear in your Inv.?

Mine says they’ve been redeemed but I can not see anything about any of it in-game, though I’ve only played for about 10 minutes so far.

Thanks…
