So I wanted to replay Origins, Awakening, and Witch Hunt so I could have a good save to carry over to 2 and Inquisition. Problem is, after installing it on my current machine (Win 10, i7-6700k, GTX 980 Ti, 16 GB RAM), it would invariably crash the moment I tried to do anything. I finally found a solution on the Steam Community for the game. The crashes are apparently due to trying to run the game on a multicore system, and to solve it you have to start the game with the Windows console and force its affinity to a single core. The command is:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 DAOrigins.exe
My question is, is there any way to do a similar trick using command line arguments in the Origin client?

I'm having a similar issue - thought my DAO Ultimate edition is stored on my "D" drive not my "C".
The current command line loos like this:
"D:\Games\Dragon Age Origins - Ultimate Edition\Dragon Age Origins\bin_ship\DAOrigins.exe"
Do you know how I would alter it to correct the random shut down error?
Thanks for your time.

Well, the solution I posted in the OP does work, my only objection is it bypasses Origin's functionality (which I can mostly take or leave, but the cloud save is useful). Here's how to do it without manually opening the command line every time:
