I recently had my hard drive melt and I began the painful process of reinstalling all of my programs and games. Unfortunately, the ISP I have to use gives me a service that limits me to 90Gb of bandwidth per month before I have to pay through the nose for each additional Mb used. While this was not an issue when I reinstalled DAO and DA2, it occurred to me that it may be a big problem for DAI in the future if I am forced to download the game through Origin.

 

Does anyone know if we will be given the option to install directly from the disc instead of downloading through Origin?

If you purchase a PC disc copy of the game then the game installs from the disc.

 

Had the same with Mass Effect 3.Bought a physical copy of the game but I still had to download the full game through origin.The disc was a complete waste.

I am not sure what happened there, but that was not the design, nor have I ever heard that reported as a bug. This could certainly happen if you ran the Origin client and simply redeemed your game code from the PC box in the client instead of running the game installer from the disc directly.

Hope this is the case. I believe ME3, XCOM, and even Skyrim all were turned into DL, though someone on the forums here posted a walkaround for the latter one. And having to wait hrs while the disks are in hand is rather annoying.

I don't know what "turned into DL" means. As I said above, ME3 and DA Inquisition PC installation treat the discs as local copies of the digital download. If you run the setup from disc, you install from disc. Anything else is a bug and should be reported, if it can be duplicated.
 

 

All I want to know is if they'll add extra DRM to the disc version because if they don't, I'm going with the disc because I prefer to have physical media in my hands. If it's going to drop all kinds of extra disc check DRMs or something like that then I'll just dled it on Origin.

Our last 2 PC games (ME3 and DA2) both used the same EA activation system that is being used for DA Inquisition. There is no difference between the disc and the downloaded versions.
