Anyone saying DA:O took them 50+ hours to finish is either flat out lieing or spent a lot of time not really doing much of anything. My first playthrough (this always takes the longest) doing just about everything took 40 hours at the most.
See, that's what I'm talking about. "Flat out lying"? "Spent a lot of time not really doing much of anything"?
What if I had said that "All players finishing the game in 40 hours or less are lame noobs that are not up to the challenge of playing in difficulties higher than Easy or Normal and cannot reach max level 25 at the end"?
That's not what I think, really, but someone who cannot finish Origins with a character higher than level 21 like you, Spin****e, (at last someone who has data uploaded so it can be confronted with what they say) in whatever difficulty you are playing really should not try to judge what other people who cannot finisht it UNDER level 25 say.
I understand that console versions may be slightly easier than the PC version, that not all players have all DLC's that extend the main game, that they do not take their time to acquire all top elite items, from stores or loot rewards, and mount a party camp with extreme powerful members, even if they're not to accompany them into battle, that do not take the time to prepare for battles so that they suffer no injury at all, including backtracking in some area to have main PC advancing solo because otherwise it will be an automatic injury due to the area script that will make him sleep and be dead when only 1 party member wakes up, that they do not keep randomly travelling around the map to see if there is any more "random" encounter that they may have not triggered yet, that they do not go for all the companions' personal quests.
But that hardly makes one less of a rp'er than the other.
And then they go comment on my videos, "What place is that?" "I've finished many times and never saw that" "How do you get there?" "What items are those?" "How do you get them"?. I kindly answer each and everyone of them. there are of course many different types of comments and my videos are mostly about the funny stuff in the game, like the prison break combos which put some of us to stitches or the faces of the militia when Bella keeps kissing all and any heros of Redcliffe, which some point out as the best scene of the game and show how amazing a Bioware game can be.
See, the time stamp in the story of the uploaded chars can show you that we're not lying and we hardly spent the extra time doing nothing. Just like yours show that you don't have a char who finished Origins over level 21 and 31 in Awakening, which shows, at the very least, that you rushed through the game and missed a bunch of scenes, places, interactions, quests and possibly some fun too. It's there for any who bother to check it out.

@the guy who has played 1,900 hours of Dragon Age.
Seriously, mate? That's 80 days. That's ridiculous. You could have accomplished so much more in that time. I honestly can't believe you.
Yep, that's about 75 days alright, in a game I play since day 1 and I'm still finding new stuff, different ways to run through it. Note that it was just and estimation someone did when I said I have over 20 full runs with the game at an average 90 hours each.
And as for what I do with my time, well, the rest of it when I'm not playing games or what I have accomplished, you have no idea.
To keep it with games only, have you evern reached level 50 in Diablo 1, legitimately with no dupped items? (heck, me neither, Reached level 47 and it would take me another 2 years to reach 50 with the exponential increase in level gap), Have you ever been #1 Hardcore Ladder Diablo2 in any of the battle.net server, Have you got a record of over 1000 matches in Starcraft/Brood War or Warcraft 3? Have you got a pair of character with over 500 hours each in Oblivion or Morrowind? have you played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to exhaustion with many different chars/classes/races? Have you played NWN for some 5 years online putting a lot of hours into it everyday, enough to learn a bit of another language that you actually have no use for it besides gaming perhaps, like Sindarin Elvish?
And you want to judge me because I say I did all that? I guaranteed you that I've also have done many other things not related to gaming during all that, and accomplished many things not related to gaming either. But at least I can claim that
I know about the games I play very well, well enough to be critic about changes in a company's philosophy like Bioware.
Oh, and I do have a life with real friends, perhaps not as many as I have in the record here at BSN, but why people saying all that b/s to me, every one of them, have zero friends here being registered for so long? Or 1-3 at the most? Go get some and spare me the who cares b/s. If you don't, don't bother reading. If you did, thanks for your patience.
