I would only ask because I can't find any reviews at the moment and I don't have a ton of time to play this game in the next couple of weeks. I'm planning on picking it up tomorrow if I can burn through the story in 10-15 hours and do side missions later.
Dragon Age: Origins
Game » consists of 20 releases. Released Nov 03, 2009
Dragon Age: Origins is an epic fantasy role-playing game featuring a rich story, personality-driven characters, and tactical, bloody combat. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series.
How long is this game?
I hear it's long. there are a few reviews out there and most say basic story a little longer closer to 20+ hrs. but if you do all the side mission and DLC supposedly the game is closer to 80. personally I'm a packrat so I figure it's going to take me weeks to get through this, I have only 10-15 hrs a week to give to games.
Hopefully DLC keeps coming, to me the big question is level cap? Fucking Fallout 3
Fallout, which I enjoyed but didn't play till it was out for awhile drove me crazy. I wasn;t even 1/4 of the way through story when I hit level 20. If yop want me to do side quest and play a game for 80 hrs I better keep getting levels. if there are only 20 levels than it better be a pain in the ass to get each level.
I actually think that's why I sold the game, having, like, six max-level dudes and all. God, I hope Dragon Age doesn't have a low level cap like that (or one at all)
I read somewhere that the fastest any of the playtesters got through the game was around twelve hours and that was skipping every cutscene, unnecessary dialogue, side mission, and with every cheat the developers could put in on. So, most likely for us normal players the story will easily be 20+ hours long.
oh yeah what were we talking about. DLC is great, I'm getting DO:A for my ps3 but i hear there is going to be DLC ongoing which is a great thing, but that level cap question comes into play again. or is it just a matter of getting the best possible shit and making enemies increasingly harder.
ever play baulder's gate? there was stuff you could cheat and spawn into game that couldn't be found anywhere.
Bioware is off to a good start with the DLC with the Warden's Keep coming out immediately at launch. I can only hope that things go better this time around than with the "ongoing support" for Mass Effect.
Dave said he skipped like every single sidequest there was, and it still took him around 50 hours to beat one playthrough. So, actually doing sidequests like most people do as well, Id imagine 60-80 hours give or take some. Depending on how much you pause and use dialogue will matter a lot for that timing as well.
" @bofooq: Agreed, completely. With RPGs, I'm a perfectionist, so I'll be tackling the 70+ hour campaign multiple times as different races and classes. But yeah, hopefully there is no level cap. Or, if there is, it's extremely high. "You will definitely get your money's worth :)
