I own DA:O on 360 and PC, and I own DA2 but only on 360 and I miss placed that CD. So I'm looking to buy DA2 on PC, but I only wanna buy it with all dlc and not in pieces, and cheap also.
I don't wanna own the CD anymore, just download. I've heard conflicting reports about the game now having an Ultimate or Deluxe edition, is this true?
Also, is it safe to buy the game from different websites that sell CD keys? I never brought a CD key before.
Nowhere. There is no bundled edition.

So I guess it really did do that bad then? Thats a shame.
Buying keys is fine if the vendor's legit. I bought a DAI key from Amazon. Don't ask me how it made sense for EA to let Amazon sell the key for less than they were selling the key for themselves.
Mind telling me how much you payed for it, and did you need to download Origins to play it?
If you want to play the game via download rather than disk, you will need Origin.

Even if I buy a download from amazon? I already have Steam and kinda want to AVOID( More like running away ) from Origins.
Also, if I cave and get the Origins client well I be able to import my DA:O saves from my steeam to the Origins DA2??

$30 for the GotY. And yes, you'd need to DL Origin if you haven't already-- that's the thing you enter the key into once you have the key, after all. Can't run an Origin game without Origin any more than you can run a Steam game without Steam. (I'm not even sure if you can run a disc edition of DAI without Origin installed, but I'm not certain; I haven't bought a disc of any kind since ... Mass Effect 2, I think.)
There's no reason to be scared of Origin if you're already putting up with Steam. Origin is basically Steam with a less-cluttered interface and fewer launch delays from updating. (Well, I hear Steam has a bunch more features, but nothing I've ever wanted to use.)
As for saves, like just about all modern games Bio games store their saves in the Documents folder, so it shouldn't make any difference whether the executable lives in a Steam library or an Origin library.
Awesome sad about having to use Origins tho, but thanks
Hey guys.
I'm trying to buy DA2, but am having trouble. I was just gonna create a thread when I found this one, good.
The only place I could find it was in Origin https://www.origin.c...tandard-edition but it doesn't have any DLC. https://social.biowa...om/page/da2-dlc has them all, but I'd need to buy one by one.
I can't believe a game released in 2011 will require me to pay more than Dragon Age Iniquisition GOTY to have all its DLC, it should be somewhere I haven't found yet!

Yeah same problem bro. I found out the reason why theres no Special Edition is because the game did so poorly, retail stores didn't wanna hold any. Your best bet is to wait till Origins has a sale, or just go to your local gaming store and buy a used DA2 CD.
Unfortunately your gonna have to buy the DLC's in pieces. We have no one to blame but EA for forcing Bioware to rush its development. 
Yes, I've read more about it after making this post, so sad.
Unfortunately, to get hands on DAO Ultimate Edition I had to buy the DVDs on Amazon. It took almost a month to reach me and I had to pay around US$80 for shipment and tax.
For DA2, I'll just buy it online. I's scared of so many ppl complaining and also EA hate on it. I'll just buy and try it out. If I don't like it, I just use the save to move to Inquisition. If I do, I'll read DLÇ intros and decide which ones to buy.
Going from DAO to DA2 is easy from a game-controls perspective. (Much easier than when going from DAO or DA2 to DAI!)
The "Framed Narrative" format for the entire story really threw me off, I really didn't understand until my third-or-so playthrough. And for some folk, the highly limited scope (single human option, with single through-line to the climax) and scale (single city and immediate environs, plus excessive map re-use) was extremely off-putting. As my high number of characters (>10) indicates, those things didn't bother me too much.
What does still bother me are the inability (without invoking the command console work-around) to skip the Prologue for each new game, the utter predictability of the "3 waves of kiting critters", and the incredibly limited NPC storylines. Merrill is always a stuck-up whinger playing the "nobody loves me" card. Isabela is always the baddest ass in the room. Sebastian is always a sanctimonious prig (although that is made a part of the story!)
Like others, I put most of the deficiencies down to EA having forced the studio to rush the game out the door. Writing characters with real depth takes a lot more time than writing cliché caricatures, which then leads to needing to animate all those additional scenes and record all the additional dialogue. In the end, BioWare had less than 18 months between the release of DAO and that of DA2 (Nov 2009 - Mar 2011.) If one reads some of the creative team's comments from that period, (n.b. Ion Zur's) one gets a sense of the pressures they were under.
I think it's obvious EA didn't make the same mistake with DAI, although maybe the pendulum swung too far in the other direction?

When did you buy DAO Ultimate Edition 
?! I ask cause I brought it last year on Steam during a sale for like 20 bucks. It was a good deal since its original price was like 40$
