On how many computers can one copy of Mass Effect be installed? Logically it should be only 1, but I did see games that allow up to 5 copies ran at once, so... would suck if I had to shell out another $80 (which is not going to happen) to play co-op with my brother. Which is also assuming my 3 year old laptop with T3200 Intel Processor and nVidia 9300M can play it. Which brings me to third question.

What engine will ME3 be running on? Unreal Engine used so far is fairly flexible, allowing me to play around with various .cfg and .ini settings to make ME2 playable on my forementioned laptop, and nicely playable, at that. Just to know if I am to expect ME3 Co-op LAN parties at my Dorm, which is the single most badass thing that can possibly have any sort of party around it.

Once you redeem your ME3 key on Origin you should be able to install it on an unlimited number of computers. I've installed Battlefield 3 on several computers. While I have never tried with BF3, you probably won't be able to use a single product key for co-op, or run the game simultaneously on multiple computers.

The game will use a modified version of Unreal Engine 3, which was first used in the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2.

It can't be that bad, surely. We're shooting at a target that can't be killed, and I honestly don't think it's as apocalyptic as everyone's saying.

This'll be the definitive test for your devotion to Bioware and Mass Effect. True fans will shrug it off as an inconvenience, but still buy it for the game itself.

I'm a true fan, I've bought KotOR twice, Mass Effect twice, Mass Effect 2 three times, Dragon Age: Origins twice, and Dragon Age 2. That being said, I will not buy Mass Effect 3. I will not support Origin. I want the game on Steam, even if it requires an Origin account and for me to buy the DLC through Origin/this website. I own over 200 games on Steam, and I want to own Mass Effect 3 on Steam. I didn't think that was too much to ask. I would rather not finish the saga than buy it through Origin.

So what is keeping you from adding ME3 to your libary ? I just tested that I was able to add my Kindle reader I downloaded from Amazon to my Steam libery, so there should be very little problems to add ME3.

Putting an icon there is not quite the same as factually have it in your steam account now is it?

Alright people lay off the Origin hate for a bit so Chris can get through these questions more efficiently.

Like I said, all the most pressing and repeating Origin questions are now on the first 5 pages of this thread. Sorry, but this underlying "if you post against Origin answers will take longer" thing is just...

... insulting to our intellegence and devalues our genuine concerns.

I want answers just as much as the rest of you but I also have the capacity to understand that there are more than five questions to be answered; I can also sympathize with Chris's situation.  He can't just say whatever he wants, he most likely needs to get the ok from management.  This is called being a reasonable person.  Having tantrums isn't goin to make your answers come any quicker and is probably making his job more difficult.

One which is completely justified.  One that is further intensified b/c we have been begging for answers for months and no one has been willing to provide feedback ... not even a "we do not know yet."

Yes, I quite agree that all those unwilling to hand complete control over to EA should just get over it.

Please don't post in this thread then. You're willing to bend over. Good for you.

Exactly. I've given BioWare so much money over the years, and now I just can't support them anymore. If Mass Effect 3 was on Steam and didn't require Origin (just an Origin account), I would buy it in a heartbeat. But, due to Origin, I will not be purchasing Mass Effect 3, and I know MANY other people will not be either.

It's amazing really. I never even thought about not buying ME3. But all this Origin nonsense and the vendetta with Steam as well as the ultimate arrogance from EA to blatantly tell us it's for the best of us really has me thinking.
Unfortunately there probably won't be enough players for EA to feel what they are doing to their customers but every small step counts.
I'm still not finally there to cancel my pre-order but it doesn't take a lot anymore. We'll see. I'm profoundly disappointed in BioWare that they succombed to these  business conducts of EA and are not able to stand up. If not for themselves, then for their loyal fanbase.

I wonder if BioWare realizes how much trust they have lost over the last two years...

Same as all the other games in the last five years I would think, only on one. That's what CD keys and online activation is FOR.

If it's that simple why can they just say that instead of all this I need to gather info and get answers.

They're hunkered down in their bunker trying to weather the storm. And they sure aren't going to willingly say you have to have Origin on constantly, given the reaction here.

Well then don't make a thread that says ask your questions here.

Please use this thread to continue to ask your questions about Mass Effect 3 and Origin.

Please remember:
Mass Effect 3 WILL require Origin for all PC editions, both physical and digital. This will not change[/list:o]

Then EA and Bioware want to remember that forcing their customers to use a digital client they do not want will mean a lot of those customers will not buy your product oh and that won't change either.

Origin has no limitations on number of installation except that you can install the game no more than five times per day, which is more than you'll need. You can install it on any PC you want and any amount of PCs at the same time.

That's... not even a limitation. I will only ever need 2 installations, or maybe even only one if my laptop does not prove adequate, however...

I did not order through Origin, but through GameStation - does that make a difference, or am I missing something in this equation of game distribution?

Thanks for FTL - Speed reply, by the way

No, where you order from makes no difference. The only place you cannot order from is Steam but that is not a problem for you as you never ordered from there to begin with. All versions of ME3 come with Origin client think of it as content in the package, it is the same as when buy a copy or Skyrim on the PC in that no matter where you buy it; it comes with Steam client.

It does not matter. As they have stated, the installation of the beloved Origin client is mandatory. Same goes for their EULA, TOS and privacy policy.

Guys, Chris isn't the enemy here. He's only trying to help, and it wasn't his decision to make. If you need someone to rant at, target EA themselves. They're the ones forcing Origin.

Will a Origin acount be required by console versions of ME3, in a similar fashion that EA games need Ea acounts.

Is there a customer complaints email for EA?

tried that with bf3. Seriously useless people work at ea. Your email will most likely be read by a first line person who can really do nothing. Its useless. There is only one thing a customer can do and that is NOT to buy ea stuff. In this way turnover will become smaller and smaller, and THEN you got them by the balls, but only then!

Your EA account is your Origin account. Yes: even if you never install the Origin client, it's still called an Origin account.

Your EA account is now called your Origin account it is the same thing. On console you still need your EA account you just won't need the client.

I don't think a company as big as EA give a damn about emails and complaints. Losing thousands of customers would certainly be considered negligible, because their goals are counted in millions of units sold.

I think it's better to complain to Bioware, personally. XD

Same here. ME3 was among the most certain "must buys" of my gaming history. There were a lot of things I was sceptical or not too happy about, but there was never a doubt about my preorder. It is gone now.

Ok, let me ask you (Bioware) a question. Are you really willing to lose customers (and fans) so you can compel the rest of them to install crap software that nobody wants/needs ?

Ask EA, BW has nothing to do with this.

It has been said before in the other thread, but Bioware has everything to do with this in the sense that Bioware IS EA.

He is certainly not the enemy, but he is our interface to EA and BioWare as these are their forums. He is the one who can really experience the emotions of the users and delegate them to the people that matter.
That's the theory at least. Not that said people would even remotely care as long as they get their paycheck...
