So did I !!!! So thanks from me too, Demosthenes

Does anyone know if you can finish the main quests and then go back and work on the side quests or does the game just end?

Until you get to the Landsmeet quest, you should be able to do side quests after any of the other main quest lines are completed. After Landsmeet, things start happening really fast and depending on where you go and what you do, you may not be able to fully complete a couple of side quests.

Landsmeet doesn't happen until you've gathered your army.

I want to thank everyone that recommended this great game I think I have been playing 12 hours straight talk about a game being addicting!

I bought the collectors edition on Ebay at a great price and it is a UK version. I didn't get warden keep as a bonus but I did get

Shale
Blood armor (which I am disappointed because I won't be able to wear that for a long time the strength level is so high)

Now here is where I need your
I am suppose to get 3 more bonuses they are

Bergens honor
final reason
Grimore the frozen waste

I registered my 3 with one registeration number is all that was needed. However I am not seeing anything appear all I get is this message


Collector's Edition
A collection of three special items exclusive to the Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition. You'll receive one item immediately. The others are available from Bodahn in the party camp. Thank you, and enjoy!

Does anyone understand where I get the 1 item immediately? Who is Bodahn? I am with the Grey Warden in a town Ostager. I am a human noble rouge and haven't done the ritual yet. Please can you tell me how to get the 2 other free bonus items in camp? Which item is available immediately?

Thanks whoever helps me because nothing downloaded to my game content only on the profile on the browser for downloaded content. Does any of this make sense?

Hi Sherrayah

Glad you're enjoying the game

I think you need to go the Bioware Social Site, find your profile and under that find redeem promo code. You should have recived a promo code (free) for the three additional items.

You'll need to log into your account from the game launcher (I think) and then check the DLC tab. If this doesn't work, something is wrong with the DA updater service.

Sadly, I haven't gotten the game yet, but I know you can find help at the Bioware Social Site in the Bioware forums. You can always ask or reead what you'll need to do over there.

Bodahn is a merchant that'll appear in your camp.
You get access to your camp, I think? after finishing Orzammer?

Bonus Info:
In the Bioware General forums for Dragon Age: Origins people are writing very funny stories in the form of secret diaries of Leliana, Dog or the
Human Noble. They're really good and creative. And did I mention they're funny, too...

You will not meet Bodahn until Lothering - after both the joining and Ostagar.

With regard to the immediately available items: when you fire up the game, it should log into the Dragon Age servers. In the menu of "resume, load, etc" there should be an option titled Downloadable content. If you click that option, it should show you everything that's available for download, including any bonus items. That's how I found my bonus items.

Full disclosure: I played on the 360; however, it should work similarly.

Sherryah : Karsten and Toger are correct you will meet up with Bodhan in your parties " campsite " once you progress that far in the game. It actually doesn't take very long . . . once you reach Lothering and are able to strike out on your own one of the options available to you from the " World Map " or travel screen is " Camp " it will be in the top right hand part of your screen, and that basically takes you to a spot where you can talk with each member of your group you have picked up so far, as well as access to a merchant and a rune worker . . . the merchant ( aka Bodhan ) will have the items ( as well as the rest of the Blood Armor ) you redeemed with the code in his inventory.
