I think the above poster maybe getting a little mixed up 🙂 We are talking Dragon Age Inquisition and not DA-O. I think you probably would be best posting in the forums related to DA-O.

I'm actually able to play the game now. Let's see how it turns out.
Since my version was downloaded 2 days ago, it already came with patch and hotfix. So I unistalled it and downloaded from an "alternate" source. No piracy, no cracks, nothing. Just a plain untouched ISO of the release version.
I installed it and ran it with origin offline, so that it wouldn't update, but I still had to input my credentials. It works.
Am I ashamed of doing it this way? Hell no! I installed a clean and untampered copy of a game I legitimately bought. I just didn't download it through Origin.
No, I'm not in the wrong section. It's related to the app issues as mentioned in the OP. I'm also not the only one that has run into this on the BioWare forums as well. There have been others that have all these problems with Inquisition and also had an auto-forced Origin update kill DAO.
I think I left the post too vague. The stuttering, the high CPU percentage, all of it was only while playing Inquisition. I also mentioned a paging problem. I suppose I should have mentioned that I played Inquisition 4 hours beforehand, and it never completely stopped paging. Which is the reason why I couldn't turn off my computer without forcing a power off.
I haven't played DAO since April, and I mentioned this in my previous post. I am a little skeptical of the OP, since we only have their word to take for it. Otherwise, I'm reading like a classic textbook case of the draw distance problem, if the OP is telling the truth.
