No one cares about Origin... unistall Origin from your computer

It happened the same to me man, don't worry. I recommend you to play it and installing it from Origin, you can disable some annoying options in the Origin settings to ensure a good experience. Since you don't get any advantages from the steam version like achievements and trading cards.

You've added the DLC to your game via your EA=Bioware=Orign account. So Origin downloads them your PC. How should Origin know that you've already installed the Steam version?
Advice: choose Steam xor Origin.

Check your Origin Application Settings.

If you installed Dragon Age through steam you should turn off Origin (the client from EA and never run it until you finish the game). Whenever you are gona run Origin it will find the Dragon Age files and will start downloading the origin files (they are different and once they are installed you can't run the game from steam, only with the Origin client)

Also if you want to mod the game, there are some great texture mods on nexusmods you might wanna stay with the Origin version since most of the mods were designed for it. They will crash alot with the steam version. At least that was my experience.

Uninstall Origin, problem solved.

Thank you all!
I guess Steam gave me the keys so I could try the awesome Origin client and give up on them. Everything is so confusing, but I guess I'll just go with the EA client, since the game is made for it. Good thing Steam gave me a sale for it

Actually Dragon age origins complete is a lil broken on steam, on origin works well. When you install the game via steam dlc don't show up, while origin patches the problem. But once you get the update from origin you'll get an error trying to launch it from steam.

I had the same problem: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/s0Csd/dragon-age-ultimate-edition-help

Edit: I'll add that you can redeem every single cd key from ea that you bought on steam, on your origin client as well.

I downloaded Mass Effect 2 on Steam, installed Origin few days later and I was able to play it through Origin, which in end I did, given how I got some free DLC not included in Steam version. Not sure about download though, leave it be, but I'd suggest playing Origin specific games through Origin. My only problem with it is the price of games and the fact that those greedy buttholes never go as low as Steam does pricevise. All in all, I never had problems with Origin downloads or games in Origin, which was quite a surprise given the rants I've seen from some people.

man, youre lucky
i cant even get DAO Ultimate page....
that means i cant buy it

why do you run the steam client and origin at the same time anyways?

When I played it, Origin had a patch that Steam didn't. Not having the patch meant some of the DLC would not load properly (some of the time). I ended up playing it on Origin.
