not sure if this site is reputable or not, but I found this a couple hours ago.

Here's what Derek French had to say:
"Will Dragon Age: Inquisition for PC Windows require the Origin client: Yes.
Will Dragon Age: Inquisition for PC Windows require a permanent internet connection: No.
Will Dragon Age: Inquisition for PC Windows require a one-time activation through Origin via the internet (just like Mass Effect 3 PC): Yes."
If you just want to power through DA2 to get the story and characters you could probably beat it over the weekend no issue playing on easy or normal, especially if you use cheats or a guide to ignore the more meaningless side quests.
Even then DA2 is around 35-40 hours normally to complete everything. Legacy DLC is a must, Mark of the Assassin is OK, better or worse depending on how you feel about Felicia Day.
Grand Theft Auto V PC Won’t Use Denuvo DRM on Top of Steam (UPDATED), http://www.*****************/2014/1...pc-version-to-use-denuvo-drm-on-top-of-steam/
Edit: NeoGAF blocks Dual Shockers from being linked? Well here few more sites says that GTAV wont use Denuvo, http://www.escapistmagazine.com/new...eft-Auto-V-PC-Denuvo-DRM-Next-Gen-Screenshots and http://www.incgamers.com/2014/11/grand-theft-auto-v-will-not-use-denuvo-drm-says-company-co-owner
"Safe" as according Origin EULA they can ban your account or take purchase rights away from your account for doing it. That said I have never seen proof of that being happened to anyone.

Heck well then, I don't see how this can mess me up, I am happy. I bet the other case of Denuvo screwing with games is because it was a Ubisoft game. (Just remembered it was Shadow of Morridor)
I'm glad then

DA2 is about 30 to 40 hours, assuming you try and skip some of the non essential sidequests and save your pennies during act 1 (which won't be hard to do since the quest areas are repeated ad-nauseum and you probably won't want to do many sidequest because of that, and also because combat sucks).
Origin just requires you to install the client to install the game. You launch the game and that's that. It doesn't ahve to be running I don't believe.

I've never touched Legacy. When's the best time in the game to approach it?
When you still have a sibling around for some additional dialogue, but really anytime is fine I think.

Thanks but hopefully I don't need to use a vpn to pre load. but thanks for the heads up!
I usually play it in Act 3 since the Act's content is sparse otherwise. Your sibling (if alive) will also have their unique tree by then (Force Mage for Bethany).
Even if you play in Act 2 or 3 your sibling will return for the DLC.

I did it most recently in the third act and thought it worked really well there.
EU preload won't start before 17th so depending on when you want to play, e.g. with VPN on 17th, you may need jumpstart it now with VPN.
You know I thought that right after I posted but wasn't sure. Been a while since I went through DA2 and the DLC.
You can also use this mod (need to be on Casual difficulty for it to work): http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/3818/?
It doesn't eliminate all fights or auto-kill it just makes all the enemies have much lower health.
I wouldn't bother with any of the dlc because that's spending more money on a game that's already not worth it.

If you're going to quote the spoiler pics, at least remove the image links from your quote. The more it shows up, the more likely someone is going to unintentionally click.

Its actually
"Dragon Age: Inquisition Edición Digital Deluxe"
NO! NO! I almost clicked on one of these. PLease remove these guys!
Does EU include US?
If you run through Dragon Age II, make your main a sword and board warrior, and get the skill that gives everyone +def if they're within 10 yards of you. Then choose all melee companions, and activate their passive defense skills. You become a melee pain train that can buzz saw through 99% of the encounters in the game. However, you'll need a secondary, ranged party for a few boss fights.
Uh, yeah. Yes, it would.

Since more are asking for it:
Once you choose your class (mage, warrior, rogue/archer) at the beginning, you will have access to 3 different trees. Each tree has 12 talents. Later, you will have to pick a Specialization, which has 11 talents. So, during a regular play, you should be able to max at least 2 of any of those trees. Or spread your points in all of them.
You gain a talent point per level. There seems to be a soft limit on how many levels you can gain, which is around 25-27. Most players will end around level 20-23 if you don't follow all the side quests.

Yup, called it.
Dragon Age 2 is friggin long. It took me 40 hours to beat, but I think it's worth playing through it once. The reason why it's disliked mostly has to do with the consoleification vs. DA:O's excellent PC controls, reused environments and a story that's still relatively unresolved when you reach the credits, although I think the biggest stinger is the lack of replayability. You end up the same place no matter what and there's just too little choice/consequence to the major beats in the game.
But like I said. It's still enjoyable and worth playing if you can manage to beat it before tuesday/friday.
You know what killed Bullfrog, Ensemble Studios, Westwood, Origin, Lucasarts and many other great Pc developers? Big AAA Publishers. You know who filled the PC market with always online games, micro-transactions, invasive DRM, anti-consumer practices? Publishers. You know who hiked pc game prices? Publishers.
Big publishers have done more to fuck up PC gaming than pirates have ever managed.
Missed your reply, thanks thats reassuring
Just to put all worry away here is screencaps of my localization folders when having purchased from Mexico.

How fast you can follow this guide http://www.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/2maetz/vpnhow_to_preload_and_play_early_guide/ ?
Thanks

Nothing special, but there it is. 90 secs explaining what anyone in this thread already knows, but good for the OT. And more to come, apparently.

Literally finished it yesterday in preparation for DA:I.
Took me about 20 hours on casual mode doing nothing but main story and companion quests. (Merill, Varric, Isabela and Aveline. Fuck Anders and I never got that other guy.)
Some cheats were used because I wanted to get the game finished as quick as possible so I'd say you're probably looking at about 22 maybe 23 hours if you play legit.
Must have DLCs though I'm not sure because I never bought any but from the looks of things Legacy seems to be the only one worth having.
Not sure if it's worthwhile to play it, but if someone wants to go for it, play it on EASY/Normal and stick to the main quests. Then check a walkthrough to see how to get those companions that do not appear on the critical path.
Whatever you do, DO NOT play it on Hard or Nightmare. It does not improve the experience, it just makes each fight incredibly longer and way more boring. Trust me on this.
Also,
pick Sarcastic responses.
Holy shit that rules.

Future expansions, and sequels, I'd assume.
They plan to use the Keep for the rest of the series, so it makes sense.

But how do you actually move your guys like he did? I couldn't tell how to do it.

It's not that bad... still pretty bad though. I started a run in order to quench my thirst since I knew I couldn't tackle DA:O again, much less end it before DA:I.
I'm loathing the reused assets again but it's pulled me in, I'm almost finishing act 2 with all the side stuff completed, the characters just keep me on the loop and I try my best to ignore all the flawed stuff. Playing after some time and knowing what to expect helps though.
Also, yeah sarcastic Hawke is best Hawke.
A to select. Depending on what the cursor is over will determine what it does. Over an enemy it will select to attack, if on open terrain it will select to move there. If on open terrain and you hold A it will select to move to that position and hold that position, which is good for warriors who you want to maintain a position or choke point to keep enemies around.
