Mass Effect [ Edited ]

[MarieJanesy]

Hi, sorry to be bothering you, my dad adquired Mass Effect Andromeda, and he submited the code to his own account on his computer, now I would like to play too, but to make sure his game is safe I would like to play it on the same computer but on my account...is there a way that is possible to do? Is there a family sharing way I could enjoy the game?
Thank you in advanced for your time

That is prehaps one of the biggest failings of Origin to my mind, the lack of family sharing among games and accounts like you can do with Steam.

At this time, until EA decides to allow families to share games, the only way you can play the game is on his account, meaning he can't play the game while you do.  It shouldn't cause an issue on single player as you can easily switch between characters and saves thereby having no issue in that regard.  On multiplayer it would be a shared group of characters if you care about that, but otherwise you would have to purchase the game for your account to play.
