There is an "easy" answer if you already have the expansion packs downloaded and in place:

This concludes my research, summarized here: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=54304#54304
In short, the FIXMEs are red herrings, and the "work around" is to prevent the game for checking for authorization....
Yep, seems to work here. For the record, open: %MyDocs%\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\Addins.xml
and do /s/RequiresAuthorization="1"/RequiresAuthorization="0"/
you must have the updates already installed. In my case, Addins.xml was nearly empty, so I took the one from my windows install.
