5.0 out of 5 stars works fine January 16, 2012

works fine, activates on EA origin and DLC activates on bioware's website.

http://store.origin.com/

THIS DOES NOT ACTIVATE ON STEAM. Same with battlefield 3 and etc, EA origin is a competitor to steam.

4.0 out of 5 stars There is a trick to activation April 5, 2012

By AK

I enjoyed both games, but had an issue with product activation that may help.

When the program first launches it requires you to enter or create an EA/Origin ID.
I had the same similar error message for both games, but the actual solution for each was different:

The problem I had was that when I entered my information (existing account), I got a generic "We're sorry, an error has occurred." message.
After multiple exchanges with both Amazon and EA technical support - here was the solution:

For Dragon Age:

Download and install the Origin client and use that to activate the game. It will detect that it is already installed.
(same goes for Dragon Age II). Once the game is activated, and you run it at least once, you can uninstall the Origin client.
If you uninstall the "EA: Shared Component Game Activation" you will have to re-activate the game.

For Dragon Age II:

Even though you can create an account online and use special characters in your password, the game itself does not recognize it and you will get that generic error. Just use letters and numbers, and you should be able to connect to the Dragon Age Servers from within the game. Then all the DLC will be recognized.

Don't know why the same password only worked for Dragon Age and not Dragon Age II, but figured I would share my $.02 anyway.

Note: No problems with using the Amazon Downloader software. While you can use the Origin client to download and install the game - it has a terrible bug in that it may encounter an error, not complete the download, and delete all the downloaded data thus far (even trying to set the do not delete permissions on the folders doesn't resolve the problem). The Amazon software does not exhibit this problem and their servers can send you the files as fast as your Internet pipe will allow.

Finally, wait for Amazon to have the deal on the combo pack rather than each one individually - getting them for both for $10 is just too good of a deal to pass up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent games for an excellent price January 16, 2012

Although this game only activates on Origin and not on Steam I still think this bundle is a tremendous value for the money. I put well over 80 hours into Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition. Second game is not as good in my opinion but still worth giving a look if you're into the lore.

Origins terms of service are pretty broad and it gets me a little leary thinking about the nefarious things they could do that still doesn't detract (for me anyway) the awesome value of this bundle.
