Questions About Origin Program

1) is it necessary that its running all the time?

2) is there no data transfer to origin acc with out it, i mean achievements & saves?

3) do i half to be logged in Origin Program when i play DAI? & does it log in Origin automatically once i open/start the game?

My personal opinion is that programs like Origin & U Play what Far Cry 3 had are unnecessary, DAO did fine with out it & so Did DA2, in DA2 in game Menu u had Logi in Origin option, well first when it came out i think it was just Bioware Acc where user could log in, but still there was no program, u logged in from inside the game, even with out origin program if user has pirate game Servers will detect pirate game & block its access (so no need for Origin), alternative is that origin starts when u open the game & stops running when u close the game, it it wont be running all the time, & when u log in origin from inside the game it logs in origin program to

what do u think will happens if i have meany games with programs like Origin & U Play? so meany background processes that games start to lag at one point, also when new game comes out that has higher system requirements game starts to lag cause to meany unnecessary background processes are running, & its pain in the... to open & close them manually all the time

    1. Not all the time, but it needs to be running when you're playing. 

    2. Saves are made locally, but there is also cloud save support. Regardless, Origin will be running while you play. 

    3. Origin can automatically log in when you start your machine, but it's optional. 

    Note that "Logged In" in this case doesn't have to mean "online". Origin needs to be online for the initial activation of the game, at which point you can set it to Offline and forget about it, at least until some updates come out. 

    As for performance, from a personal perspective I don't find it to be an issue. Considering the relative power needed for modern games, I've found the impact of multiple game launchers to be negligible. I can only speak for myself though. 

    It's curious that you mention DA II, this was integrated into Origin in much the same way as Inquisition is.

    when i played DA2 then Origin was not needed, maybe Origind did not even exist back then, also it was not my game so i did not have DAO & DA2 saves to import i made my own save in Keep

    1 question, if servers go offline it dose not effect gameplay? & i can play?

    if u ask why i did not buy, i W8 for when they make DVD where is game + all DLC, i want to buy full back, both games + all DLC (well don't care so much about item backs 😃 but they would not make half if they would have made that kind of game DVD with all DLC'S), cause they did not make that type of a DVD to DA2 i did not buy, also not gonna grind points to get all DLC for DA2

    DAI i bought, it surpasses DAO & its worth it, well DAO is to, but i explained why i did not buy DAO, cause i wanted to buy both games DVD with all DLC from store
