I found this solution, which sets the affinity to start the game, to work for me.
1. Edit Dragon Age Inquisition desktop icon properties
2. Change "Target:" to
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C START DragonAgeInquisition /high /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\DragonAgeInquisition.exe"
3. click Ok
Now try running the game. The game will start with affinity set to 1 cpu, but will change to all cpu cores after it launches. I was able to get past the "Click to Continue", when no other solution I've tried worked.
Here's a reference for the solution: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/37272/set-a-programs-affinity-in-windows-7-for-better-performance/
