Just in case the link stops working for some reason, I'll explain below.
=========================
SYMPTOMS: Unable to load Xbox 360 save games that use DLC when DA servers are unavailable. Dialog box mentions specific content that's missing, even though it's been successfully downloaded. Save games load fine when DA servers can be contacted.
ANALYSIS: There's a distinction between the DLC data and the rights to access the data. Acquiring DLC through the DA:O Downloadable Content manager does two things: it downloads the data to your hard drive, and it gives you the rights to the item you downloaded. That last part is the heart of the problem. Many of the promotional items (DA:J, preorder, character creator) are bundled together into a single block of data, but the access rights are set up for individual items. This leads to a situation where you don't have the rights for a specific item even though you have the appropriate data on your drive (because you've already downloaded a different item from the same bundle). If you have a connection to the DA servers, then the game can verify that you do, in fact, have the rights to use those additional items. If the game can't contact the DA servers for confirmation, then you get the dialog box.
SOLUTION: You need to acquire the rights for your items manually so the game doesn't need to contact the DA servers each session. You'll basically be re-downloading content. Please read the entire set of steps before doing anything. Proceed at your own risk. I am not a BioWare or EA employee. Your mileage may vary.
1. Make a list of all the DLC you are entitled to have (henceforth referred to as "Your DLC List"). You can find most of this information at
social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php
Note that any DLC purchased from Xbox Marketplace will likely not appear in this list. I believe only DLC from redeemed codes show up on the entitlements.
2. Go to the DA:O main menu on your Xbox 360. If the DA servers are currently unavailable, proceed to step 2a. If you have a connection to the DA servers you can either proceed to step 3 or take your Xbox 360 offline and continue with step 2a.
2a. You can narrow the scope of the remaining steps by determining the DLC rights that you have already successfully acquired. Bring up Downloadable Content and strike all of those items off Your DLC List. Anything that shows up as "Downloaded" when the DA servers aren't available shouldn't be preventing you from loading your save games. If for some reason something in your Downloadable Content is preventing you from loading your save games, then leave it on Your DLC List so you can re-download it.
3. Sign out and return to the dashboard.
4. Go to My Xbox > System Settings > Memory > Hard Drive (or Memory Unit) > Games > Dragon Age: Origins. This is where your downloaded content should be stored. Note that your save games are probably in here, too. Be careful. For each item on Your DLC List, write down the name of the content block that it comes from.
Blood Dragon Armor: Blood Dragon Armor
The Stone Prisoner: The Stone Prisoner
Warden's Keep: Warden's Keep
Promo Item Pack 1: Band of Fire, Memory Band, Feral Wolf Charm, Collector's Edition
Promo Item Pack 2: Helm of the Deep, Amulet of the War Mage, Embri's Many Pockets, The Lucky Stone, The Edge
The above list is not complete. If you aren't sure which content block one of your items comes from, leave it blank; it should become apparent later. Most problems seem to be related to Promo Item Pack 1 (preorder bonus items) and Promo Item Pack 2 (DA:J and CC bonus items).
5. Select one of the content blocks from Your DLC List and delete it. You may wish to stop here if you don't believe you will be able to successfully contact the DA servers at this time. Re-downloading content will require you to be connected.
6. Sign in and return to the DA:O main menu. Connect to the DA servers.
7. Bring up Downloadable Content. You should now see one or more items from Your DLC List that are marked as "Purchased" but not "Downloaded". These are the items that reside in the block of data that you deleted in step 5. If there are items on Your DLC List that you haven't associated with a block of content yet, check each one here before continuing. If it says "Purchased", then you can write down the name of the block of data you deleted in step 5.
8. Select one of the "Purchased" items. If the information box tells you that you've downloaded this content in the past and gives you the option to download it again, then strike that item (and only that item) off Your DLC List and make a different selection. If the information box lists the price of the item (free) and your current Microsoft point balance, then download it and proceed to step 9.
9. When the download completes, strike that item (and only that item) off Your DLC List. You should now have the rights for that item. All other items residing in that block of content will also be marked as "Downloaded" now, but you may not have the rights for them yet. This is why you made a list in step 1. You may need to delete and download the same data multiple times.
10. Repeat steps 3-9 for all remaining items on Your DLC List. Proceed to step 11 once you've re-downloaded every item.
11. Confirm that all of your eligible content is now listed as "Downloaded" in Downloadable Content. The next time you're offline or unable to connect to the DA servers, you should still be able to load your save games and use your content.
Hopefully, BioWare/EA will fix this problem server side so this is no longer necessary. There might also be an easier way to get the rights without deleting and re-downloading everything, but this method worked for me. It may be overkill, but at least it fixed the problem.
