 "It's still an RPG epic, it still takes upwards of 50 hours to complete"
-PC Gamer.


So there for those saying the game will be short.

[SG60]

Time taken to complete the game is purely subjective. Some people take a very long time while others will breeze through it.

[ManiacalEvil]

That's a given, but it still gives us a idea of the game's lenght. The reviewer said 50 but I know I am a fast gamer so I will probably take a little less, while some will take a little longer, but it still will be around that lenght.

[kjdhgfiliuhwe]

Time is totally subjective. Some people took 100+ hours to beat Origins. Others took 20. All we know for sure is that DA:2 is shorter than Origins. So, take the time it took you to beat Orgins, and expect a shorter time than that.



For me, it was 26 hours for Origins, so I'm assuming 20 hours for DA:2. On the flip side, if you somehow took 100 hours for Origins, maybe you'll find 80 hours this time.

Did you do.. like.. anything concerning reading or listening?  I mean, the combat alone takes longer than that unless your on casual..

I just don't know how people can beat that game in the time frames they talk about..

I still can't fathom how anyone finishes origin in 20 hours unless they're skipping vast amounts of dialogue and only doing the plot-related quests... I've replayed DAO numerous times and even knowing everything, it still takes me 35 hours minimum to finish the game... that's without skipping any quests or dialogue. My first playthrough took around 85 hours to finish (and I later found out I missed a few things on that original playthrough).

Although I've never played on anything other than nightmare... so perhaps playing on normal drastically shortens the gameplay as well?

Please do not take this off-topic. Thread is about DA2 length not Origins.

[IndelibleJester]

First time playing Origins I took about 70 hours. Afterwards, it takes me about 30 hours, including completing all of the board quests.

But hey, I learned how to memorize where every single static lootable is, and where all the traps are, thanks to my childhood with BG2.

As for DA2, if they say it'll take 50, it'll probably take most about that time the first playthrough... but some people may take longer or slower.

I skipped all dialogue and cutscenes, and I play casual.

Origins takes 20-25 hours doing just the required quests on Normal. DA2 is supposed to be shorter than that, so probably about 15 hours just doing required quests.

I think after the first hour I just ESC keyed through all the conversation and read the subtitles instead. So, yea, I've never heard every line fully voiced. Not even the first playthrough. 

I played on hard, so no. Combat does not take as much time as you say. Recently, I saw someone near the end on Nightmare in 15 hours. Now that....is something to be amazed at.

While you may find it hard to believe, I personally find it difficult to believe anyone could take 100 hours to play (I have several friends who claim this). Even when I did a "full" run-through in an attempt to find every side-quest (disclosure: didn't find them all, but got the 75% side mission achievment well before the end of the game),  that still only took me 30 some hours. *shrug*

Then again, people are dying to the ogre in this demo, so there's obviously a huge range in player skill (ok, I hate to use the word skill, but there it is  ).

[Chadthesad]

Fifty hours of gameplay is way too short. I want one hundred hours tops! Way to go Bioware, where's all the fluff and filler?! I'm being repressed!



All seriousness, yeah that amount of time for a video game is quite fine. Mean's we probably wont have to run about and do constant side questing for loot. I'm okay with that.

[neubourn]

if its as long as ME2, ill be happy with that.

I suppose I find myself gawking and pausing and deciding a bunch.. My first playthrough was 83 hours.. my last was 54..

I hate relying on tactics as well and normally issue almost every single action in the game (what can I say, I'm a control freak) so that may be why it takes me longer.. I play on nightmare exclusively anymore as well..

I just find 26 hours to be crazy short.. minimalist vs completionist is what it comes down to I suppose

it was said for DA:O to take 100 hours.....
it took me at most on a playthrough where i took my time 34 hours.
Cut that in half so DA2 should take me 17 hours if i take my time.

[JamesMoriarty123]

I for one have no idea how people spent 100 hours on Origins, hell even 60 is pushing it. I think 47 was my first playthrough and 42 my second. In my first run I read every codex entry I found, listened to all dialogue without skipping and got the Traveller achievement for exploring "every area of the game". I did all the sidequests too.

For people who are at it for 100 hours either you have the reading age of 5, cannot play games properly or stood and contemplated EVERY texture in the game for at least 20 seconds each. Seriously, 100 hours....you gotta be joking.

So yeah, 50 hours seems about right but IMO the people at PC Gamer are actually crap at games, they can write sure, but can they balls play games, so I'm gonna say 35 hours is probably the actually time it will take.

skipping a ton of dialogue got me about 13-16 hour play through for origins.
Cut that in half and i should be able to speed through DA2 assuming i know what i am doing multiple times in a day/.
Of course this was for xbox and i am good with the simple controller.
I have yet to finish a playthrough for PC lol.Played it so much on xbox the PC version even with as many mods as i could muster still feels boring.

[HolyAvenger]

It took me about 110 or so hours to complete DAO the first time. I used every dialogue option and read every codex entry and did just about every quest, and I'm a combat-pauser.



I except DA2 to take me 70-80 hrs based on what I'm hearing about game length.

[JamesMoriarty123]

Lol, DA:O for XBox sucked man, no tactical combat...good luck playing on Hard. It looks as though Bioware have done some serious kowtowing to you console types with DA2 though, well done, you bastards.

You're getting this from that article in that magazine.



I read that article and honestly, a whole lot of it sounded like good ol' PR 101. So I'll take what it says with a huge dose of salt.



I know that I probably won't have many play throughs; the characters and story are great and all, but they're not my story. It's like watching a film really vs. the huge book that was Origins. I already found myself skipping a lot of the conversation in the demo on subsequent play throughs and that isn't something I did on MY Origins' reruns usually.

[SG60]

Personally I always do all the side quests in every single run, because I'm a loot addict. I NEED my shiny objects. As long as it's a good 30 hours at least I'll be satisfied, though it would be nice if it takes me longer.

[HolyJellyfish]

In my opinion DA:O was unnecessarily long. All the hours spent going aimlessly through the fade, the deep roads, and trying to gather enough store bought items from the stores interspersed throughout the world was grating on my patience.

[Kail Ashton]

i'm gonna bet the average length for most people is 40+ hours



Just a hunch.

I sped through it very very fast.

This I agree with...the fade was pretty quick once you knew what you were doing, but the deep roads really got old pretty fast. The concept for the roads is fine and all, but without very much scenery and enemy variety it just didn't cut it for me. Not that there's much scenery in caves, but whatever
