Redeeming the Kingdom of Amalur DLC

To redeem your DLC codes for in-game content, go to the xBox Live Marketplace or PS3 Network if you are playing a console version of the game.  If you are playing the PC version, check for a URL listed with your code.  Goto that site to redeem the code.  Once it is redeemed for the PC, it may appear in either your Origins Game Library or be accessed within the game itself, depending on the game.  For Kingdom of Amalur, the DLC is accessed within the game.  You go to the site and enter the codes and nothing happens, but when you go into the game the Downloadable Content (DLC) items are in the special treasure chest.

It may be obvious to you, but it wasn't to me.  By the way, here is what is in the DLC.

Skyrim "Creation Kit" and Bug Fixes Coming February 2012

Sometime next month Bethesda will release their Creation Kit to totally open up the PC version of the game to modders.  They also will allow mods to be uploaded to Steam where they can be rated and downloaded by other PC players.

At the same time, a whole list of bugs will be fixed.  Here is a list.

No word on the promised expansion packs, to be exclusive on the xBox for the first month.  Most people expect the sketchy areas of Morrowind and Oblivion seen from Skyrim are there because there will be DLC that uses those areas.
