I'm going to wait and hear from the Devs,
I've played both DAO and DAII without internet on and with DLC, on my X-box 360, I imagine this is some sort of misunderstanding, I'm sure the Dev's will clarify.
Sadly, given past history, this clarification is needed.
My internet connection has been going crazy for weeks now,logging me out every few minutes...I don't want to be the 'preorder cancelled' person and I'd really like to have the game but a required permanent internet connection renders the game virtually unplayable for me
Hope we get some clarification soon.
::in the voice of Leonard McCoy::
"What does a single player game need with an Internet connection?"
edit: bah, it was Kirk who said that, not McCoy.
Quote still applies though
They both said it. 
People, just hit the bioware tab. Stop posting when someone from bioware posts, it will show up and you can see it.
How dare you bring logic and rationality into this thread?! Get outta here with your pesky common sense!
Origins will never challenge Steam.
I don't think anyone expects it will.
Some time ago I was without phone for 2 days, and whenever I tried to use mass effect 3 it would not recognize all the DLCs I had installed. It was a nightmare. Will this ever be patched, or my DLCs instead of buys are merely extended loans that will last only until the me3 servers close down?
If I take my laptop with me for vacation in a remote mountain I will probably not be able to play it.
The strange thing is: Origin does a system and online check whenever it opens or I start the game. It usually takes 15-20 seconds for the process to complete. Are they really paranoid that I may be a thief who pirates their products that I still need to be screened, even though they confirmed it the other 600 times?
Is this really the way to combat piracy? Not only it did not prevent ME3 from going to illegal torrent sites, but it only created hassles and concerns for people who actually supported the company and bought the product.
I can certainly understand the concept of an initial validation, even a monthly validation for the first 3 years. But to require a check whenever the game is loaded is simply asinine. No wonder EA was elected worst company in America for 2 years in a row.
I wanted to play sim city. Based on what I saw, it´s a very good title, But the drm policy left such a bad taste in my mouth that I decided to boycott it... Permanently.Even if they fixed the issue, I think a lesson must be taught, a message must be sent, with our wallets. And I´m a guy who owns nearly 40 games on origin. I love EA games. I love their franchises, their development teams... But I can´t stand their policies.
While i was not pleased with the graphics (set by the lowest common denominator of the consoles), I was intrigued by DAI story and gameplay. I was going to pre-order it next week (the expanded version), but now I´ll need clarification. Online checks for playing online, or to upload info to the cloud profile, or save backup? Sure! Great! But in order to start the game every time? Never again! Not in this life.
The only thing EA did was to leave me, an honest client, curious about the current state of pc piracy. If it´s faithful, if there are losses, . I like to pay for what I use, I proud myself in being honest, but I have to wonder if in 5 or 10 years I´ll still be able to play me2 or 3 on PCor if the server shutdown will mean death to these titles. Should they die, and considering that I paid for them, I would consider piracy as a means to extend the use of the product. Way to go, EA!
I have been wondering that, too. The moment when anti-piracy tactics starts to actively harm the people actually buying your product, you know you done goofed and gone too far. If EA keeps it up, even people who have legally bought their games may decide to torrent them in order to have a backup game whose playability is not dependent on Origin's longevity or EA's caprice.
So. Its been Monday for a while now. I'm hoping someone who knows the answer to this will take 5 minutes and give it to Allan soon....
Again a friendly reminder.
Last month EA/Maxis patched an Offline-mode into SimCity because of the backlash against the "Always online" requirement.
Do you really think EA wants a repeat-performance?
Hm... while I don't expect to have problems with internet access, I really would rather not cooperate just on principle... well, let's hope this is just a rumor, because I don't want to have to skip DA:I, and possibly all future EA titles if this becomes the norm. Man... I never in my life expected I'd have to log onto the internet to play a game by myself... Then again, this is Dragon Age, so I might just make this one exception if the game is really good.
i'd prefer it not to have to connect every time i play the game, and i would prefer it to not be an always on connection. However my internet has like a 99.9% up time, so i wouldn't be heavily affected by an always on connection, but the drawbacks of the always on connection are not lost on me, hence preferring it to not a requirement.
I'm no fan of this "always online" crap that has got going lately but if you think it will stop me from playing this game, you're wrong. It's still a dumb move though, since I got a signal enhancer, my connection has been fine, but those who are less fortunate than me, can't say they will be pleased about this.
Guys, i've brought the torches and pitchforks just in case. I won't be handing them out before any dev confirmation due to a prior incident in which some people out of boredom had injured themselves trying to replicate Darth Maul's duel. m'kay.
I of course will be handing out lightsabers.
and quit freaking out people
Any word on this yet, then?
My internet connection (on account of living in New Zealand) is not only crap, but it has a DATA CAP. That means I can only use so much of it before it's "used up." 
I know, it's a bizarre concept, but there ya have it.
Just another example of why this would be very bad for a lot of people.
Me freaking people out? Oh no. I'm only a legitimate businessman who runs a legitimate business. (FYI provided pitchforks and torches for Gaston's mob.)I of course will be handing out lightsabers.

But lightsabers eh? I definitely can't see anything going wrong.
I probably shouldn't say the guy I had make em was wearing all black and laughing while shooting lightning at random people

Excellent news. Maybe the OP could change the title of the thread??
Wow! This thread went nuts. I'm glad all your fears were sated. Personally I figured it wasn't true, since gamefly was the only site that said it.
