IM having the same problem
I have special edition to and the codes for the DLCs came with the booklet, i did click on the in game extra content tab and it takes me to the risen 2 page but it says i need to have the game installed to and when i click on the DLCs it says a have to pay fro them.
iv read that the DLCs are part of the update download and you have to activate them some how.

I found this.

So apparently both story islands and the pirate clothes DLC are already part of the game:

The only thing happening when one downloads/activates a DLC by buying it, is that it gets activated within the game and a respective "dialogue_language_dlc3.pak" gets downloaded to be used for the spoken dialogue (the Treasure Island DLC for instance is only 48MB big as far as I know).

Some people found a way around this in the Test Mode of the game, apparently one can enter a Test Mode by blindly typing "pommes" in game, it should display "TestMode Activated" and enable the console which one can be opened with the "^"-key left of the "1", after that apparently spawning "DLC helpers" seems to work:

spawn dlc1h

spawn dlc2h

spawn dlc3h

After activating the DLCs they are supposedly fully functional (even the one that was exclusive for the "Stahlbart's Schatz" edition of the game) aside from missing voice overs for those parts of the game.

So there goes any doubt that the DLCs weren't "cut out" from the game.

I have no aider what it means.
