Dragon Age Codes Not Working? Don't Be So Sure
Right after I picked up Dragon Age: Origins this morning, I opened up the game case and got ready to punch my DLC codes into Xbox.com, so it would be all queued up for me when I got home. One look at the code, and I noticed something was up. Instead of showing the familiar 25-character string of nonsense, the codes on the enclosed card only featured 16 characters. Punching it into the site gave me a nice little "invalid code" message, but little in the way of satisfaction.
That's when I did what I should have done all along: I read the instructions on the code. Oops. It looks like you have to enter this code from within the game itself. For the first time ever, reading instructions actually paid off. Who could have guessed?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
