Expect 20-30 hours for your first playthrough. Way shorter than Origins but not too short according to the review.

Does the combat work the same in DA:O as in DA 2?

Yes, apparently we can side with the Qunari.

The only thing they really commented on was the lack of an isometric camera and that was one brief paragraph. They focused more or less exclusively on the story.Vrex_12 wrote...

As said, they didn't go too deep into gameplay. They did however seem very pleased with the story telling. Pleased enough to compare it to Planescape: Torment's. Most of their issues lied with the plot itself. Apparently the game lacks a major antagonist until the very end. They said that most of the game was spent in Kirkwall running errands for the three factions. Qunari, Circle and Chantry. Yes, apparently we can side with the Qunari.

It depends on the player... Mike Laidlaw said it's longer than ME2(35hours) but shorter than DA:O(75hours) so I expect 40-50 hours to finish.

The same cave? That's not recycling.
Can you just create a thread and label it SPOILERS, DO NOT ENTER, and then talk a bit about the grisly sub plot?. That sounds intriguing.Marionetten wrote...
There's some huge spoilers involving a highly grisly subplot too. Sufficient to say, it sounds way darker than anything in Origins. I'd say more but I skipped over most of it as I didn't want the conclusion spoiled. Varric also has a Scarface moment somewhere in the game. Yep, that earned him a permanent spot in my party.

Those numbers are why I ask what Swedish PC Gamer's playthrough times were in Origins. I personally can't fathom getting 75 hours out of a DA:O playthrough. My ME1-2 games ran roughly 30-40 hours, and my DAO games ran roughtly 40-50 hours, a far smaller difference than is sometimes reported on these forums and in magazines, so I'm interested in seeing how they compared.

Yeah, there's some pretty massive spoilers in there involving some major characters and a deranged serial killer. For my own enjoyment I skipped it over. That said, your choices during that quest will come with some major ramifications from what I did read.MortalEngines wrote...

I believe he skipped through it to avoid spoiling the game for himself.

I'm not sure it would matter much knowing that, cause it isn't the same guy reviewing DAO who reviewed DA2.

I know both reviewers personally and I feel it is a bit worrying that Jakob (that's the reviwer for DA2) had problems with the plot. I value his opinion and if he has problems with the plot, chances are quite large that I will too.

Man, I can't wait to see what's so recycled about the areas. Also I don't want to insult anyone but I don't trust the european press even though I'M for Europe. I will be able to buy the game on the 14th so there will at least 50 reviews by then so...

The same cave, or three caves that look the same? I'm only asking because I'd like to know if they made it clear, and the former wouldn't bug me - personally - as much as the latter.

And it's reasonable for you to do so. Not so much for me, because I don't know the guy or know if his opinions and mine are often in agreement on such things.
