I don't really have an opinion on it since I never use the thing. Last time I had used it was when I still played Battlefield 3 and that's been quite some time ago.

Not a huge fan of Origin. It's content is limited, the sale are less frequent and usually not that impressive (This one's not bad, but seeing as the DLCs aren't on sale as hard as the main games, it feels more like bait then anything else), and the client itself offers no benefit over Steam, which is a superior client in every way.
Random question, by the way... Who in the hell is buying The Witcher Series on Origin?

The highest praise I can give Origin is that at least it isn't as bad as steam.
Still a piece of software that exists largely to provide drm and inconvenience legitimate customers.
Until people stop worshipping steam and telling distributors that they love unnecessary drm, that's what we're going to be stuck with, unfortunately.

hmm lets see.. its just there in the background and is an extra program i dont really need but its not as annoying as it once was.
the on the house program is brilliant, and i never thought i would ever say it but ive always had very plesant expreiences with EA's customer service

There is no direct save transfer to Inquisition. You use the Dragon Age Keep website to set up your world state, which you then import into the game. You can select the event from Origins and DA2, even if you haven't played the games. There are some videos on YouTube that go through the story choices and what they mean if you're not sure.Samtemdo8 said:
Indifferent. I've only used it for Mass Effect 3 and aside from that, it pretty much just exists on my hard drive. Part of the problem is that there are very few EA games that I really want to play. Bioware hasn't put out much I care about since all their games became Origin Exclusives so yeah.
Origin is an inconvenience, not because of the quality of the service, which is okay, but because it is really annoying to have my games split up between multiple services.
Like pretty much everyone else, I use Steam primarily, but then I also have Origin, uPlay, Battle.net, and GoG Galaxy to split all of my games up, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed by this.
I get that these services exist because they are annoyed by Valve's cut every time a game is sold on Steam, but they just cant compete, and they end up just seeming pointless because of it.

The only problem I have with Origin is the same one as I have with Steam. Why after buying the game do I need to keep the client running in the background. Why do I as the person who has bought the game need to go through DRM checks but the person who pirates it does not.
Which is why even though I own both seasons of Telltale's The Walking Dead on Steam, I bought them on GoG when they became available.

I get the impression at times that Bioware are embarrassed about Dragon Age: Origins, that they wish that it didn't exist. The following games and spin-off media make no attempt to let the original remain part of the franchise.
The Origin is not bad... but what it is these days might be worse, which is "irrelevant". They tried to make it a Steam alternative but their client sucked HARD at launch - and don't you fucking dare tell me that "STEAM SUCKED AT LAUNCH TOO" - of course it did, but you know what's the difference between Steam client sucking on launch and Origin sucking on launch? Seven years and one client already going through the sucking phase, that's what the difference is, EA should have launched Origin with AT LEAST as many features as Steam at the time. But they didn't and it sucked. And then they decided not to make deals with all the other publishers to have their games on Origin, so it's pretty much seen by everyone as "EA-only". They have SOME non-EA games on it, but each time people see those they are surprised to see them.
Well that's completely understandable, it sucked.votemarvel said:
