Listening to the bombcast and Vinny said he is 30 hrs in and just finished Act 1. Of course we all know Vinny takes his time and reads everything. I beat the game (PC) in about 25 hrs , and I did 90%+ of the side quests but I went through it pretty quick. Started on hard but switched to normal half way through. I couldn't stand the enemies warping into combat any longer. Anyways, just curious how long did it take you guys?
Dragon Age II
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Mar 08, 2011
This sequel to Dragon Age: Origins features faster combat, a new art style, and a brand new, fully voiced main character named Hawke.
Dragon Age 2, how long did it take you to finish it?
I did every side quests I came across, explored everything I could, read about 75% of the codex, and I clocked around 38 hours by the end.
I probably wont finish it anytime soon (since I stopped playing it). But I'm in the beginning of act 2 and I've spent about 20 hours playing it.
33h on 360 doing most of the side quests and I was taking my time exploring and such. It really could have needed one more act. I have so many things to bash about, but I'm currently on my third play through so I guess it's still a great game. First time I was good, second evil and now I'm choosing the funny response every time. It's quite funny.
" 54 hours on Hard. Missed a few minor things here and there but generally tried to do every mission I could find. Missed out on a bunch of Fenris stuff because I never brought him anywhere and more or less forgot about him. "That's how I treated him during my first playthrough. Really got a bad first impression with his silver hair, stupid lines of dialogue involving his soul, and just his overall melancholy look with his silver hair. During my 2nd playthrough I had him stuck to my femhawke like glue, and while he didn't quite reach the top of the ladder out of the party members, he definitely surprised me and made for a funny, interesting dood.
For my first playthru on normal, I did every quest that I could find on my own. I finished the game at 26 hours.
My second playthru on easy, I did a few quest chains for the achievements and just spammed the skip button during talking. I finished the game at 8h30m.
I believe if I had done those quest chains in my first playthru, I would've clocked in at 30 hours.
I dunno how people could claim this game is short. I beat in about 35 hours on Hard mode. Maybe it's short compared to the 50 hours I spent playing Dragon Age Origins, but the first Dragon Age was more grind than anything. And yeah, the game would be like 10 hours if you just did the main quest (provided you can get enough gear from just the main quests to be ABLE to beat the game). Oblivion was the same way.
Also, if anyone could beat the High Dragon with a 2h warrior tank on Hard mode or above, you accomplished what I could not :-(
