Want to try before I buy - can buy goodies later?

@sc_goomba 

You can't install Swtor over Origin, but it is essential an free to play Game with an Subscription Option.

Care to try again? - also telling me its a free game is stating the obvious.

So ill ask again.

Can I try this game over origin - then if i like it - buy the deluxe edition after the fact?

@sc_goomba 

yes , however the deluxe can only be bought once every 6 months 

alternatively just down load the launcher from https://swtor-a.akamaihd.net/installer/SWTOR_setup.exe  and play free until you decide to want to buy gametime which can be also from https://www.swtor.com/buy or from steam (both swtor and steam more options to purchase then origin)

Finally...someone who understands what I'm asking.

Thanks.

If you could confirm for me  - If I used the Origin client - I can still buy the deluxe set later after test driving with the free version?

Steam will very likely have Origin "Thin" Client - which is a utter piece of trash.

The standalone game you pointed too - I'd be surprised if there was no "Client" to speak of - does it?

Went through this with Mass Effect Legendary (Steam) and I don't care to deal with it right now.

Steam may have better options - but I'd rather not have them anywhere near a "Subscription" type setup of any kind - too many horror stories from FFXIV players over the years.

Steams a great platform for games - but subscription games tend to be a problem at times from what I've heard.

Once again - Thanks. 🙂

Much obliged.

What your confirming is the thin client is still there which is the same base platform of the main Origin client - so its a matter of preference at that point.

Might as well use Origin's full client so I can change options and tell it to "be quiet" where thin client requires intentionally damaging certain dll's to stop "toast" from popping over steam achievements like Mass Effect Legendary did. ME Andromeda was just as bad too.

Thanks for your patience and time in answering my questions.

I'll give it a test drive and see If I like it or not. 🙂
