Playing Origin Games on PC?

Hi! Everyone!  I'm not sure this is the place for this question. I'm not a gamer but I try to build gaming quality systems.Anyway my questions is: Can Origin games be played with a remote (hand) gaming controller?? either usb or wireless? My reason for asking is I'm 62 years old I just don't have the gift of playing computer games with a keyboard for me it's extremely differcult, but I have grandchildren and children that play very well! But the grands don't they're slower. This why I asked if they can be played by a hand controller????? System in question: AsRock FM2A85X Extreme 4 (MB),AMD A10-6800K APU,Thermaltake NIC F4 cpu cooler,16GBs @1866Mhz DDr3 G.Skill ram, Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GBDDR5,Plextor 256GB M5P SSD, (4) 1TB HHDs,⚽ 3TB HHD+⚽ 2TB Ext. HHD, Rosewwill Hive 750W Modular PSU, AZZA Genesis 9000W fulltower case running Win.7 Pro 64bit,w/ Seiki UltraHDTV.

  • I take it that this is a general question, and not Dragon Age specific? To answer your question, it depends on the game. Dragon Age: Inquisition supports Xbox 360 and Xbox One pads, and some would say it plays better with a pad. 

    You can check the Origin store page, the requirements page should indicate whether pad support is present or not.  A soft rule is that if the game is available on console too, it'll have pad support, but this isn't 100% correct all the time. For example Mass Effect 3 PC has no native pad support.
