Does Dragon Age Origins Require Internet?

Does Dragon Age ORigins require internet to INSTALL if you buy the CDs? My computers internet driver is F***** and i cant connect to the internet, but would like to buy this game.Does Dragon Age Origins Require Internet?
More and more games are requiring some kind of online activation in order to install or play a game.



The short answer is that you can install the base game.



The long answer is that if you attempt to use any of the official DLC add ons, including any bonus item codes that are available, sometimes in the retail packaging, then the game will constantly "phone home" to the EA Games Dragon Age servers.



This made me nuts. Not because the internet was not working on my system, but because the EA Dragon Age servers were having communication problems. It coughed out an error every 3 -5 minutes of game play which I had to click on to acknowlege... in the middle of a fight, when I was exploring, when I exited the inventory.... all the time.



This might happen if you install patches as well - not sure about that.



My recommendation is to buy the game - it is an excellent game and I believe that the developers have a gem here but for EA's game breaking DRM policy - but install a cracked .exe to run it.



This is what I did after EA support could not help me fix the connection errors and I've not had a problem with the game since. But then the cracked .exe file prevents it from phoning home.Does Dragon Age Origins Require Internet?
I don't think so. BTW I play this on my bro's ps3 and it's SOOO FUN!!
