When you start the game, if you go to the downloads link, you should see a Dragon Age Armor download link.
Granted, I can't proof that works right now. I've downloaded and ran the .exe for all the files available to me on that page, but I still can't change my armor to anything at the customization screen.
i got both games registered. the blood dragon armor has always worked in DA:O
I see no sign or trace of the bd armor for me2.
i have all the other dlc i should have with the CE, i assumed since i purchaced dragon age i'd get the armor (sounds like it shows up for most ppl) but perhaps jokes on me?
As long as you entered the code for the armor in Dragon Age and registered ME:2 to the same account, the armor should be available to you.
You do have to download it though. Should be in the same place as all the other DLC. Install it and restart the game and it should be in your armor locker (just scroll the the side). There also doesn't seem to be any customizable features for the armor.
Make sure you're going to the Armor Terminal in your Captain's Quarters. This was a bit nutty for me at first....when trying to change Shephard's appearance it didn't seem as if I could scroll through the different armors. I tried clicking directly on the Armor bar (the one that should scroll right to cycle through your armors) and after a few seconds everything popped into place.
The systems aren't perfect...BW would have done much better to put your Armor/Weaponry loadouts in the same screen. I don't really feel that the two systems needed to be "simplified" to the point where you have to go to separate locations to access them.
Of course, I don't think the item system needed to be simplified at all...but that's another story.
