Yeah I will if kb+m is as bad as people claim. But I prefer using controllers for action-adventure type games more than RPGs.
I'm 10 hours in, have barely put a dent in the game's content, and personally controls are the only negative thing I can say about the game. They are not horrible, but they could be a lot better. Rebinding does help to an extent.
I too would simply play with a controller, but for some reason it won't work properly with my Logitech controller.
EA's stance on the issue. It is not their fault. India's government restricts them from relasing it without getting rid of content.
If anything I'm glad EA chose not to release a censored version of the product, whatever their motivation was for the decision. I hate censorship of that kind and I rather companies not give into these BS content restriction laws. People are able to import or grab it online from other countries so it's not so terrible, just very inconvenient for some people with a poor internet and/or no CC. Unless they choose to block these copies based on IP of course, but honestly why should they? EA has done it's part by ensuring they don't breach local laws...beyond that since it's not an official ban, they can't forbid people from owning a copy bought outside India. I'm okay with that cos a ban would be worse.

I've read a lot of people complaining about the poor tactics system which has me pretty concerned. I like to avoid too much micromanagement and I like to have a tactical system that responds well. How has your experience been so far with that?

Exactly!
In the end when you think about it, it no different that the hundreds of other products that never release in India. Unless owning the product itself is illegal, there I nothing stopping you from getting it wherever it is sold and using it in India. This situation is only complicated by the online activation requirements of the DRM.
This is no longer a local story though, Ars has covered it, Kotaku has covered it, IGN, Gamespot and numerous other websites have covered it. The Ars article even goes so far as to recommend using VPN.
At this point if the game actually gets blocked by EA, they will have to deal with global backlash, even from those whom this issue does not affect.
Can anyone tell me if there is another way to pay for this since i dont have a credit card?
You can try to buy a pre-paid credit card and/or a generic Visa gift card. That should help you work around a lack of a credit card.

I have just barely reached level 6 so the encounters till now have been comparatively easy, and I could do them in 'action' mode. The tactical system is good, but it doesn't pull back as far as it should, so it's hard to get an overview if the party is spread out. You can still scroll though. There was one encounter that kept defeating me, and I think that one will be perfect for using the tactical mode.
The not pulling back far enough thing seems fixable with a patch, unless it causes problems in closed places I guess.
Honestly though, it just seems like this is one of the flaws of the game that most people will have to make peace with :-( It's a brilliant game otherwise, and for me the awkwardness of the controls doesn't even come close to tarnishing the rest of the experience.

There are some websites that accept a debit card, do you have one of those? My debit card works on www.greenmangaming.com, and www.gamersgate.com.
You will still need to use a VPN though.

That's re-assuring. I'm not that easily disappointed by stuff like this and can usually make peace with many flaws in games given time to get used to them. I guess I'll have to see for myself if this will be one of them.
My debit card is having issues. will try the pre paid card route

Maybe you could buy from Amazon US since they likely accept more varieties of cards? They sell digital standard edition. I've bought from Amazon US before with a debit card and never faced issues.

Some banks give you the option of generating single-use virtual credit cards. The problem is they wont work with Origin, since they like to make a verification charge before the actual charge, but they might work on some of the other websites that offer the game.
I tried the virtual card route on origin. did not try third party sites though. will try again. Thanks for the tip
Have g2a or cdkeys sent the keys to anyone who bought it from there?
Edit: spelling error
A couple of people have reported on this thread that cdkeys worked for them. No idea about g2a.
Thats why I'm using 3 years old HDDs instead futuristic crap lol. They still perfectly working
Also keep that in mind SSDs is really fast but they are more vulnerable to shock/shake effects during PC on.
I doubt it ll be doing so many writes to make an ssd go kaput,thats simply far fetched.
First Impressions
Almost 12 hours in and having an absolute blast of this game. The first hour was spent tweaking my character. A couple of hours were spent around Haven and the rest are in The Hinterlands. Only issue i had,well initially,was the controls. They seem different and took a while to getting used to but later they felt fine. Tac Cam could use a little more draw distance and mouse scroll to the edge of the screen would be great addition, instead of dragging your mouse every time. I have encountered at most two or three bugs/glitches in my 12 hour play through and so no worries in that department.
The story is pretty decent till now. Din't go too deep into it. There are tons of side quests,several of them fetch quests while the rest play a little differently. There is a backtracking involved in certain side quests but nothing annoying. The character animations and conversations are very well done. The combat is easy and fun at the same time. Ferelden looks freaking beautiful. Frostbite is one kick ass engine i should say. The forests,water,lakes,birds,animals and locations are stunning. There are more locations to unlock and explore.

I agree, Frostbite 3 is a great engine (better than CryEngine in my opinion, since that engine requires NASA Computer)
I didnt played DAI yet because its comes here at 21 November, I have middle class PC but I'm hoping I can run it because
I want to romance with Josephine badly. (Americans always getting everything first 
)
I cant even watch gameplay vids on youtube because I want to experience with myself
I agree, I much prefer using a kb+m and I'm disappointed the controls are not polished for the PC. Can you not rebind the keys to be more in line with previous games? I heard about the lack of auto attack...that is concerning, but possibly something that might be patched I'm hoping.
Yup..everything is remappable...
and it gets comfortable to hold the mouse button for attack as you keep playing...it is a little disorienting in the beginning.
Holding down the right mouse button to look around kind of sucks. Also would be easier if objects/ actions at distance can be clicked from afar rather than going up close to it to get the action done. Looting becomes tedious otherwise. The tactical cam needs to zoom out more, as of now its wasted.

Yes, this is one of my pain points as well. Rather than use the tactical cam, I find myself just pausing in normal mode.
i don't find myself pausing, i find myself jumping more as i'm used to pressing space bar to pause 
Mid battle i'm jumping like a mad man.

Rebind your keys?
I might later. Looking into if i do need to use jump more than pause.
