Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition Activate Dlc
Edward
I purchased Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition, and every time it prompts me for my Origin login credentials, i enter them. It then asks for my product key, which i then enter. It says it has been activated, and when i try to launch it, it says:
I have this problem with a digital download (Amazon) on my AMD Athlon II X4 645 w/8GB RAM and a AMD Radeon 7700 series video card w/1GB RAM running Win7 Home Premium 64bit up to date on drivers, windoze junk, blah and showing in My Games in origins online dealie... this is from the .05 patch w/o DLC instaled. Happy "new game" feeling rapidly fading. The whole thing is turning into a headache.
I am also having this problem.Purchased the original disc.I HATE DOWNLOADS.Only becuase I have limited wireless internet usage.Which is why I stick with bioware and stear away from steam.But any way got the game and no go.I installed the game typed the product key in and double checked to see if it was correct and also went ahead and did the update and still it will not activate.New game never opened.It shipped the day it came out so I doubt its used.You think?
Is there a solution to this problem if my Ultimate Edition was downloaded via Steam? It keeps directing me to a page that no longer exists to activate my DLC and I would rather not have to download a whole other program to use a DLC activation code that, as evident by the previous existence of that particular BioWare website, should be able to unlock via browser.
This is new. I've had the game for years, played it through a couple times, and now suddenly the game wants me to log into my Origins account to "activate" it every single time. How do I shut this off?
Same here, and not just that.
Adobe air stops asking me to "activate" game now, but rather, Origin performs a "game file verification" upon every start up of Origin.exe for dragon age: origins ultimate edition
a whole 26.99GB of verification every start up
what's worse is that it wipes my mod registry after every verification making my games unplayable
any idea what's wrong?
Also having the problem that OP is having. It seems to have started happening since the most recent update that Origin performed on the game. When it asked me the first time, I figured that I would only have to do it once, but upon starting the game again after that, it wanted me to do it again.
Anyone figure out TRULY why it's doing this suddenly? As was said, it seems we are now REQUIRED to sign in with Origin... I was told that it could be fixed by being logged out in game, but that seems not to have mattered. It's rather annoying, and it only recently started doing this for me (though, I've not played it in a while, so it could have started in February, I just didn't play it again until recently)
As far as I can tell, they are forcing Origin at this point and that also sadly means ONLINE only as at least in my experience, when I was offline for a few days, since Origin could not contact the servers, I was unable to play.
I have to either log in into Origin or Activate my (already activated) copy every time I launch Dragon's Age: Origins.
Does anyone have the same problem? Does EA now enforce Online-Only policy with this game?
EDIT 2: Okay, now one thing I did just do was go into the game, log out in game, turn off all online features, then quit the game. Then I went back to Origin, hit "go offline" and got into the game... so in a few days I'll try again and see if it lets me play... maybe that's the thing to do now, since after all, who really needs the online features anymore?
I have this same issue. Nothing that I have tried fixes the problem. Every time I try to play the game a screen pops up stating "Activate Your Game" and then it won't let me play the game unless I have internet to log into my EA account.
Recently i started playing Dragon Age origins ultimate edition after i fixed a physx problem but now when i log in to redeem my dlc that came with ultimate edition it will not show up in the games main menu not allowing me to activate or use the dlc i have checked the downloadable content tab in the main menu to see if it was there and it was not any possible fix?
It's impossible to overstate the impact of Akira Toriyama, the legendary manga artist and character designer who has been working in the manga industry since 1978. His death at 68 years old has thousands around the world mourning his loss.
The reason I fell in love with Dragon Quest is because of Toriyama's art. All of the same colourful charm and heroic, powerful character designs fit perfectly with these beautiful fantasy worlds, and because of that, Dragon Quest feels inseparable from Toriyama's art. I saw the box art for Dragon Quest VIII on the shelf and instantly felt the infectious spirit of adventure and charm. I bought it, and the rest is history.
Toriyama definitely has a set of styles when designing characters, but their looks are timeless. Bianca's little ponytail from Dragon Quest V gives her the 'girl next door' vibes while also bringing some sass to her designs; Alena's mage-like outfit disguises a very passionate and very strong monk-like character in Dragon Quest IV. And let's not forget Sylvando, the star of Dragon Quest XI, where the design blends performing arts with the physique of a warrior.
Toriyama's art for Chrono Trigger is amazing. It captures movement so well, just like the Dragon Ball manga does, and just as the Dragon Quest box art does, too. But with a wider scope of character designs, monster shapes, and environments thanks to the different time periods, Toriyama's work shines.
Robo is one of the coolest-looking robots I've seen, but like so much of his other art, it's got a real simplicity to it. Robo is a little rusty and a little old, after years of being abandoned and deactivated. He's from a dystopian future, and the little scratches and scrapes on his design, along with the colours used on him, really evoke that.
It doesn't stop at Pokmon, though. The Big N's very own mascot, Mario, was inspired by Toriyama's work in Dr. Slump, particularly the character of Arale. Mario's movements and proportions were inspired by the little robot girl Arale, something which Shigeru Miyamoto hasn't been shy about sharing.
Toriyama's death has rightly had a huge impact. We're mourning one of the most creative and iconic manga artists of this generation. Without Toriyama, we probably wouldn't have Dragon Quest or Chrono Trigger. And his art has inspired countless other mediums, artists, and more.
If you're going to celebrate Toriyama's life and work, you couldn't do any better than returning to the source, reading his work, looking at his art, or by firing up a Dragon Quest game, Chrono Trigger, or even Blue Dragon (another game he worked on with Sakaguchi). We've lost a great artist who brought life to the page and made action readable and accessible to all.
Alana has been with Nintendo Life since 2022, and while RPGs are her first love, Nintendo is a close second. She enjoys nothing more than overthinking battle strategies, characters, and stories. She also wishes she was a Sega air pirate.
Its very sad day for anime fans losing Yu Gi Oh creator hurt last year now lost great legend Dragonball Z is one of few animes I watched how I got into it along with pokemon, Digmon, Sailor Moon, Yu Gi Oh. RIP Akira thank you for making my childhood with many games like dragon quest and Chromo Trigger.
A wonderful, heartfelt piece. A silver lining on a sad, rainy, dismal day in my part of the world. I'll be cuddling my small Slime plush this evening. I'm also now interested in checking out some of his manga that isn't Dragon Ball related. I'd not paid much attention to it before.
Thanks for making this article! I really like the writing style and knowledge of this writer on JRPGs reviews/soapbox opinions, so it was great that they allowed her to share what many of us feel with Toriyama contributions to not only manga/anime but also games.
Akira, I owe you big time for bringing Dragon Ball, Chrono Triger and Dragon Quest into my life. Can't stop playing Dragon Quest Monsters Dark Prince, your work and art is monumental. I'd even say it's timeless. Thanks again for filling my life with your creativity. Taking this as a life lesson.
That being said, his influence is palpable everywhere. From monsters with multiple transformations, to glowy powerups (Mario pretty much goes super Saiyan in Bowser's fury). Shonen often have heroes that come back much stronger when they got beaten up and almost died. Heroes that are dumb as rock, but really strong and have a bottomless pit for a stomach. I'm not even sure we'd have One piece, Naruto or many other mangas if it wasn't for him. Also Dragonball was probably what made manga and anime popular in the west.
Great article. Been a fan of his work for ages, even though I was never a big Dragon Ball fan, it certainly wasn't because of the art. Toriyama was a visionary. His style and imagination were legendary. Makes me grateful I took good care of my Nintendo Power Chrono Trigger strategy guide I've had since I was young.
I'm still mourning Toriyama's loss, but I will re-read many Dragon Ball chapters (and other works of his such as Dr. Slump) to cheer myself up remembering this brilliant man. I need to play Chrono Trigger and some Dragon Quest games again as well.

Dragon Warrior was my first rpg and my first purchased game for the NES. The box art was the draw as was common in the 8 bit days. I was not aware he did the art but now I see the thread that permeates my attraction to certain games and the enormous impact his creations had on the manga and video game world. This is indeed quite sad.
@Zidentia Dragon Warrior was also my first RPG! We actually received it free from Nintendo Power magazine.
I was too young and didn't really understand it at first but watched my brother play. Then I got the hang of it and would run home after school every day to try to further my quest.
As an adult, a couple of things surprise me. That a magazine sent a free game. And that we even had a subscription back in the day! At that point I think we had a total of 3 games; Mario Bros, Mario 3, and Tetris.
