Playing Inquisition in India (Help)

Hi,
So I understand that Dragon Age: Inquisition will not be releasing in my country (India) due to violation of content laws.

By this I understand they EA will not be Selling the game India. 

[RIDICULOUS - DA1 and 2 still on sale on steam. And PS4 and Xbox  physical copies available all over, including shopping websites - amazon, ebay, flipkart]

However, If I request my friend in the United States to purchase the game and mail me the Key as a gift.

Will I be able to activate the game using that key?

(in this way EA/Bioware has not violated any unheard of local content laws since they have not made the sale to me. I will simply be consuming foreign content that has been purchased for me by a friend. Equivalent to being gifted the DVD of a film that has not released in my country)

Please advise. 

Thank you.

  • Potential problems may be language options (if you're fine with English audio and subtitles, I guess that won't matter), and, more importantly, connecting to the servers.
    It is necessary to connect to the servers to use a custom world state uploaded from the Keep, to authorise any DLC (including the free Black Emporium). If the game isn't available in your country, I suspect it might be difficult to contact the servers (I could be wrong, I don't know where servers are located around the world, it's just a suspicion. Doesn't make sense to have them somewhere where the game isn't available).

    Good luck. 🙂
