Possible to Install and Play Without Internet?

For the next couple of weeks I will be completely without internet in my apartment. Will i be able to buy a physical copy of the game, install it on my computer which does not have Origin installed yet and actually play it? I can use a hotspot from my phone for some very light verification and stuff, but no actual downloading of game files or patches.

Is the game playable without any of the fixes released that address bugs in the game?

I wouldn't recommend it but it's possible. The bugs are pretty severe and can permanently fuck up your save game.

@corevi: Rorie has mentioned a few times on the podcast that he never experienced any bugs so I was thinking about taking my chances. If you are sure the physical copy doesn´t need any online connection to work, I think I will go for it.

@management: It does need an initial connection to do verification but that should work over your phone hotspot.
