Played the original DAO without the DLCs

[Chen]

Damn, bought the base game + awakening because the ultimate edition isn't available in my region, and i want to play the DLCs. do i miss something important to the story?
Only way i can get them is trough origin and im not going to buy it again.
wish there was a way to buy all the DLCs for 1-2$ bucks.
Or there's someone generous that could spare some DLC keys

None of the DLCs were that great tbh, you could just read the plot on the wiki and you wouldn't be missing out on much, the only two that stood out to me were Witch Hunt and Warden's Keep.

Witch Hunt was a lot shorter than I expected, though I don't know if that's just a me thing. Short little misadventure where you get like two minutes with Morrigan and no questions answered.
Warden's Keep was fun for me; you get an extra chest and some background information on the Wardens.
Feast day gifts helped with companion approval, not sure how the game works without that. ymmv. (I got the package deal. Sorry it isn't available in your area. )
Golemns of Amgarakk is one I haven't actually finished. It's tough--I think that's the general sentiment, and not just me--and I'm not a huge fan of caves, so it's not my favorite and judging by what I've seen of other playthroughs, I don't think that'll change. (I think it's similar to the deep roads. sliiiiightly less creeptastic.)
((.....slightly. I may be wrong.))
I'm not sure if any of the armor sets are worth buying. Again, I got the package deal, but when I downloaded a few extras for da2, I remember thinking that there were other items in the base game that I thought were better. The battle systems are pretty different, though, so I'm not sure if that carried over from Origins or not.
Leliana's Song was interesting, but short. I enjoyed it. It wasn't spectacularly memorable, but I like Leliana. So.
I've never used the Feastday Pranks.
The Stone Prisoner is... interesting. I'm not a huge fan of Shale, but I recognize that she's a good character, objectively speaking. I also like the golem skill tree quite a bit. (This is one that adds to your base game; you'd have to re-play everything to get the effect.)
Return to Ostagar is worth buying, imo. You get to tie up loose ends, so to speak. It's something I view as practically part of the base game--I thinks someone else mentioned that it felt like they intended to include it, then cut it as a way of price gouging us. Not sure if that's true, and maybe I shouldn't include it; but I feel it illustrates the way it seamlessly fits into the rest of the universe.
Not a fan of anything even resembling the Darkspawn Chronicles, but I did play the beginning of it. If you want to play as a darkspawn, go for it. It might interest you.
Overall, I miiight suggest looking up playthroughs--there are loads without commentary--on youtube. Depends on how you feel about spoilers.
Normally I'm not stingy, but.... I still plan on finishing the DLC that I haven't finished, and I'd like to return to a few that I have. And I'm pretty sure that sharing might get us in trouble, at least with steam, if not with Bioware itself. So. Sorry on that front.
Depending on how many you get, it might be cheaper to wait for the sale and buy it on steam. They might have an option for just buying all the dlc as a package deal. I've seen that on other games.
Not sure if over-explaining

This is an old thread but for future reference you should be able to buy the Ultimate Edition if you already have the base game and take advantage of the DLC. It will essentially overwrite your base game and automatically upgrade to the ultimate edition on Origin, updating your Dragon Age account to access the DLC. Pick it up on sale for €5 if you want the DLC as it should work as a simple Upgrade would otherwise.

I'll do likewise as I have DA:O, the expansion and all the pre-order DLC. Other than Warden's Keep and the Shale(Golem) content there's only three real pieces of DLC on offer, Lelianna's DLC, Morgana's and Return to Ostegar which isn't great from what I hear... Worth €5? I'd say so if you're a fan.

Thanks for your comments guys, at the moment im enjoying dragon age 2 and inquisition after it.
The ultimate edition is NOT available in my region for some reason, and im not planning on getting it anymore.
