Really? I've been playing for 19 hours and I'm still on Act 1. My max playthrough of Origins took 70 hours.

[IcedCube]

Someone I know got 16 hours full playthrough (except the Scroll demon) and didn't rush, I got 23 hours and finished everything, without rushing and with a few hours of just enjoying my characters talk to each other.

So yes, elitist pricks, it was short.

That's on Normal difficulty, not Hard. And it was a pain. The combat in DA2 is worse than an MMO grind. Since I play Rift, and have played Mu Online, I know what grinding feels like. This felt worse.

Lastly, if you rushed the main quest you'd end up with less than 3 hours. That would be skipping everything in speedrunning fashion. So I believe OP, mostly because I don't have any game development team to unnecessarily and urneasonably praise.

Im at 50 hours on Act 3. This is a big game. If your only getting 16 hours out of it, your just rushing through the main quest, and arent even remotely seeing and doing everything. Your loss I say.

[MJF JD]

took me 36 hours to beat origins with ostagar/wardens keep dlc, i am at 30 hours in DA2 at the start of act 3.

It is NOT possible ! GTFO Troll !

Oh, it will be possible (isn't it possible to complete BG2 in 45 minutes or something?) but he won't have read any of the codex entries, done the minimum number of quests and (probably) played at casual. Which is akin to saying "I finished War and Peace in half an hour but I skipped most of the pages."

The point, though is that you couldn't have "finished everything" if you didn't skip cutscenes and didn't rush. I don't assume people are lying (no need to be so hostile), but you must have missed some quests somewhere. Tons of us were only either finishing up Act I or starting Act II by the time you're suggesting, even those of us also playing normal and not reading the codex entries etc.

[marshalleck]

Hmm. I had 18 hours played when I launched the expedition, and I'm definitely guilty of not reading every single codex entry, and occasionally reading the conversation subtitles faster than the characters speak them and advancing the conversations that way. Game doesn't feel short to me.

It took me 16 hours also...to beat the first act. Might have actually took a little longer.

I beat the game twice, on casual, doing every side quest that was offered to each of my characters. Each playthrough had about 17 hours on it. I played origins, on casual, over 6 characters + Awakenings = roughly 300 hours. That is an average of 50 hours. This. Is. A. Short. Game.

[astrallite]

People who have played this game for 50+ hours most likely have 1/2 of the gameplay hours explained by the game idling in the background while they are doing other things.

[EclipticOlive54]

Woah 16 hours? I just reached act 3 and with 22 hours on my clock.

I think a lot of you are forgetting that quality > quantity.

That still doesn't work towards DA2's advantage though, 30-40 hours of Kirkwall is not more fun than 30-40 hours of exploring Ferelden

I didn't idle at all, unless it counts pause. In which case, I did. :B

[Wolfva2]

I gotta love people who claim they didn't miss anything, yet finished the game quickly. Ummmm....just HOW would you know if you've missed anything? If you missed it, you probably weren't aware of it in the first place. Logic dictates when other people are taking on average about 2, 3X as long as you to finish a game then you just may have missed something.

Come to think of it, I think I missed at least one quest; a couple of NPCs told me I should talk to my miners about a pest problem. It never showed up as a quest so I put it out of mind and am now at the end of act2. But I bet if I DID talk to them, then I would have gotten another quest. Probably to kill spiders or giant cockroaches or something, but I digress. Good thing I'm not rushing...otherwise I may have written a post about how I sped through the game without missing anything whilst, unbeknown to me, I did. Whew! Dodged that bullet!

I did *ALL AVAILABLE QUESTS*. That means everythig that showed up as an active quest, and everything that showed in my codex when I was looking at it. Granted, playing evil cut off a lot of options as I killed people and asked questions later, but I made up for that in my second playthrough. SHORT. GAME.

[Wolfva2]

So, you admit you took a path which eliminated a load of gameplay options. How, exactly, is that the fault of Bioware? By the way, just how do you know what ALL the quests are? Are you privy to a list showing every possible quest in the game? Or are you simply assuming?

Anyways, I guess I must be doing something wrong. I've played well over 25 hours and am still in the second act. OH ALAS! If only I was as uber as some others who can finish in 15 hours! Then I, to, could be whining about how little content there is as I skip over content willy nilly!

What some of ya'll REALLY need to do is understand it's the JOURNEY that counts, not getting to the destination in record time. You also have to stop being so defensive when other people point out it's taking them 3 times as long to finish the game as it took you. Same content, after all. Perhaps they're doing something you didn't? Well, one thing is for sure....they're getting more enjoyment out of the game then you did. Maybe instead of trying to fight them, you should try to learn from them?

[SharlenaSharlena]

The game did have a Fable 3 feel in terms of time span and game speed. A little to fast. Definitely beatable under 20 hours.

Took me 56 hours, did every quest i could possibly find, very little idling. My origins playthrough was actually shorter, clocked in at 44 hours longest playthrough for me.

Well I guess it's your loss. You rushed through the game. And don't tell me you didn't. "Bull****, that's not what happened!"

Well I must admit there were a few side-quests I skipped in act 3, but other than that, no dialouge skipped, and every other thing done.

I'm with that guy OP. you rushed through the game. Give us a screenshot of your saves, inventory, quests completed, codex entries and achievements as proof that you didn't.

I myself spent 10 hours just thinking of a fitting name for my Hawke. 54 hours in now, barely made the 50g for the expedition.

Like myself and others, you like to savor the game, not rush through it like drinking a Yoo-hoo.

I'm the type that ignores the "It'll take 40 to 60 hours to beat the game" and I'll try and do absolutely everything. It even bothers mewhen i get "either/or" type quests which means I can only take one instead of both,lol. As it is for most games, beating the "final boss" isn't the achievement. Beating extra bosses, finding as many items as possible, actually shopping and taking time to consider the best weapon for your style, and exploring until your eyes bleed is the achievement.

On the other hand, I'm disabled and have a LOT of time on my hands.

To the OP, you owe it to YOURSELF to play the game for all it's worth, squeezing every bit of content you can. You spent  $60+ on it. If you don't, you're cheating yourself.

For the rush forward crowd, here's the quick version of Snow White.

Snow white was good, her evil stepmother bad. Snow White flees and finds dwarves who will put her up til she gets back on her feet. The evil stepmother finds out, and tricks Snow into eating a poisoned apple. Snow falls asleep until a Prince comes and kisses her, dispelling the poison. They live happily ever after.

The End.

When I get either/or type quests I like to go through with the "mind set" of my current character, save it, then reload a previous save a do a couple of what if scenarios.

Then a few months after I've finished the game. I go back and do my completely satisfied by my choices playthrough. I was really happy with my Origins and all it's DLC final run.

Anyway, I'm at almost 30 hours in and I'm still in Act 2. 

I think a lot of people aren't visiting all the places during the day and night. It also pays to go to places even if you don't have an icon showing a quest because you can usually pick up a quest or two there.

You can also check the boards like in Origins.

[IrishSpectre257]

Finished in 53 hours, which is actually longer than any Origins playthrough of mine.

[Chromie]

I'm 67 hours in and just reached Act III soo0o0oo0 Idk. My longest Origins playthrough was around 73 hours so I'm ok with DA 2 length and Awakening took me around 32 hours.

[Byth]

Wow! With me it took 40 or less hours with DA:O playthroughs, and a little under 30 hours for my DA2 playthrough.

I've read that you can play DA:O for 100+ hours but my playthroughs say different.

[Radwar]

It took me 60 hours.

I'll say it one more time. I did ALL AVAILABLE QUESTS--the ones that showed up in my codex, Companions, main Quest, secondary. I purposely went out of my way to NOT do the main quest, and did everything I could until only the main quest was left, when I would procede. It was not my intention to do it as fast as I could. I simply played the game for many hours and did everything that was open to me.

As for the path that cut off options, Hey, it was evil. I *did another playthrough and did a bunch more quests that were cut off from the first playthrough.* 

So there you go. I did everything the game said was available, and I beat each play in around 17 hours. Excluding glitched out quests, which ARE bIoware's fault.
