It seems that the game is rather buggy anyway, so a few weeks latency on purchase should "clear the air" for a more sensible purchase/purchase-source decision.

Hmm... I bought on Steam with the bonus DLC and thought the process and interface was pretty slick. Maybe because I already had a Bioware user id from NWN. Input the two codes in your Bioware profile. Alt- tabbed back to DA. Clicked refresh and downloading started. Even was able to go back to playing the game while the DLC was downloaded and was notified when the DLC was available. I guess I just got lucky.

I bought the full package with all the bonus stuff via Steam and got all of the DLC content downloaded with no problems, but I can see where it could be an issue for some people. I know the hoops we jumped through were all about keeping the DLC out of the hands of pirates, but as always that was pointless because the DLC stuff was also on the torrent sites before I got the copy I paid for.
I also understand that Steam really has nothing to do with the DLC. Steam is just distributing the game... the DLC is strictly a BioWare/EA thing. But still, I understand some user's frustrations...
