I agree, pain in the something-or-other that you can't buy them direct through steam. Also, I have yet to see any of the DLC from that era (Mass Effect 1,2,3, Dragon Age 1,2) go on any kind of sale.- It's a shame because Lair of the Shadow Broker, Arrival and Overlord are excellent DLC's, imho.

I thought there are some files in the Config folder that need to have edits when installing the DLC; which is why a simple copy-paste wouldn't work.
