87 hours and 95%, and i think i missed a lot of things

I have to agree with you....slow down enjoy and explore and also read....just my 2 silvers and a copper ..lol

I've barely begun -- just got through the Korcari Wilds -- but fully expect it will take me 100+ hours to finish.

I'm really taking my time: Exploring everything I find; poking my nose into every corner of a map; reading all documents & Codex entries; having repeated (and sometimes redundant) conversations with everyone. Heck, I think I spent a half hour at the Quartermaster in Ostagar, just checking out the stuff for sale.

Some of this is due to a learning curve, and maybe that will change as I progress -- but I'm having a blast so far!

I am at 58 hours and just completed my 4th treaty. I agree, you should take your time with this game. I explore every tiny bit of the world, read every codex entry and try to finish all the sidequests but that is because I never play a game (rpgs at least) a second time as soon as I am done. I will probably not touch it for at least 6 months or more. Even if I had the time to spare I probably would not.

I can not understand how some people are already on their 4th playthrough, I mean even though you can take different party members along, play the "evil route" in the game or explore different outcome of quests it will still be 90%and more the exact same game with a few tweaks.

People are bored, I guess



Once there is more DLC content and fan based mods out there I will definately give it another playthrough though.

Fantastic! Reading the forums as my game downloads... finally a game with a decent amount of playtime.

Ponx.... your in for a hell of a long ride if you take it SLooow...... ENJOY it BRothaaaaaa!!! Worth EVERY PENNY!!

my endtime on the first run was about 130 hours. do (nearly) all the quests you come across, look for every last clue and last but not least: play without a tank in a questionable party setup without a clue where or when to stock up on potions so you have to pause and reload a lot and you'll get that kind of mileage

[Laudze]

Nice nice nice

[Deathstyk85]

on my first run through, i finished it in about 67 hours. then i made a few other characters. on the one im playing most of the time right now(city elf female warrior) i have about 80 hours so far, because ive been running around doing EVERYTHING imaginable. i had all of my followers completely loving me before i got my first treaty done >.>

appearantly i missed alot on my first character

also im trying to spread out my time between my other characters, because i dont want to finish before the new dlc comes out. id like to get any gear there, and it still be usefull, instead of looking pretty in an epilogue save

i plan on having a save about 70% through, and use that one to play the new dlc with XD

Percentage % of completion in char scree is not related to one playthrough being very complete.

It took me over 100 hours to complete my first, I had absolutely nothing else to do or explore at that point but to go to the ending and it still said 50% completed. I think it is related to all possible origins and paths one can choose during many playthoughs.

Perhaps it's Achievement related? I'm still on the fourth treaty, and I'm at 50%, with 45/87 Achievements.

101 hours in and it says 34% complete. I do, more or less, have all the treaties complete - I'm at the "questing for Arl Eamon's health" stage / exploring Denerim.



I have limited myself - I haven't read all the codexes, though most of them (sometimes I'm not in the mood for the history ones or the chants, for example), and I have as much as possible limited my party selection and dialog in camp to Morrigan, Alistair and Dog. I have had many of the conversations with the bard (I can never spell L's name right) and Wynne just because I couldn't help myself.



But I'm purposefully leaving things for future play throughs (anything related to the other party members as much as possible at the very least.)



I'm not sure I could snag this in under 40 hours without trying, using previous gameplays or a walkthrough, and skipping over so much that I'd be feeling bad about it.



I know it's pretty much an established way to play games now, but as much as I can help it I avoid reading ANYTHING that tells me what the best abilities, powers, items, etc, are until at least one playthrough is completed if not multiple ones. It feels too much like cheating, mostly cheating myself of the joy of discovering these things on my own!

[stevej713]

On my playthrough, I regrettably did not do any sidequests and finished the game at approximately 30 hours. On my next playthrough, I will do more quests.

There are 2 different entries I think are being confused here.

With that char I have 105 hrs, 61% Amount of Dragon Age Origins complete and 95% World Explored... right before starting the last fight. I had no DLC then, now I do and I don't know it those areas might account for the missing 5% exploration. I'm pretty sure to have done some 98% of the side quests and explored the world throughoutly.

I have 54/87 achievements but I'm replaying the very same char, whom I deeply care about, strong personality, ethics and a good hearted Hero, in Nightmare diff. (Plus, I have a thingie for 2 handed swords... I just love them too much)

Other classes / races would certainly give more achievement points.

[Shinji Ex]

40-45 hours tops just like KOTOR :happy: 

[Shinji Ex]

I'd be surprised if were 60 or more hours sense the game somewhat liner with no level grinding.

[Darpaek]

My first playthru was 117 hours - and I missed a lot (as I discovered in my second playthru).

[W1slicer_carolina]

I still don't see how you can do over 60 hours, are you seriously just standing around without the game paused for hours on end? I do everything, listen to everything, and I've only done 49 hours in a play through. Maybe some of you are doing a ton of back tracking?

I've played 20 hours in 3 days and the game says I have only completed 8% of the game... I'll get 200 hours out of this title because I search every nook and cranny and also do almost all side quests, just spent 2 hours at Wardens Keep this afternoon and still not finished with that DLC.

Thank you Bioware for a mind blowing experience slash addiction!! 

Indeed, it was worth every penny, and in truth it has more gameplay value than the first 120 hours you put into the main game+side quests.  Nearly every action in the game could be handled differently from what perspective you want your char to be.

First playthrough I was a Gentleman Rogue true to my Noble origin, now I am a mage who is abit of a smartass in regards to talking to others.

[Tonya777]

Really its more than you think



Playing through the game as different race/gender/class/specializations adds an insane ammount of replay value



It takes like 50 hours minimum to beat the game and then if you play the game like 10 diff characters then thats like 500 hours right there

[Darpaek]

That's funny because ignoring side-quests, reading nothing, and escaping thru dialogue I still can't see how you'd finish this game in under 60 hours - particularly since ignoring sidequests you're going to be broke, under-equipped, and under-leveled and therefore making the fights take longer. Maybe your saved game says 60 hours - but you've actually played for more from your reloads.

[Tonya777]

Here are some ideas so you can play through the game a zillion times and make the play time value ridiculously high
Warrior playthroughs :
Paladin (Templar/Champion) Sword/Shield (Tank)
Dark Knight (Reaver/Berserker) 2 handed swords (Damage dealer)
Warrior (Berserker/Champion) Dual wield Axes/swords (Damage dealer)
Mage playthroughs :
Mage (Spirit healer/Blood mage) (Damage dealer)
Arcane warrior (Arcane warrior/Spirit healer or blood mage) (Invincible freak character)
Druid (Spirit healer/Shapeshifter) (Healer/Pointless animal forms for your amusement)
Rogue playthroughs :
Assassin (Assassin/Anything) (Damage dealer)
Hunter (Ranger/Bard) Bow/Crossbow (Damage dealer)

Then considering the fact you will probably screw most of those characters up a bit the 1st time through , you can do them all a 2nd time and try to make your characters perfect the 2nd time which expands it even further

Mix up the race/gender/looks on all of the different playthroughs and it becomes even more interesting

I personally have 5 saves right now and 3 of them are beaten with each basic class represented at least once

You probably missing a lot of stuff, side quests, codex entries triggered quests and items. Did you get the sidetracked achievement? (75% sidequests completed). Did you save the child and the mother in Redcliffe or just went for the easier faster solution? Did you talk to everyone you met and checked if they had anything other than ballon text dialogues?

[feroxthegreywarden]

I got 50 hours of gameplay and so far have the tower and the elves on my side, starting the deep roads in dwarf area and currently up in the mountains to get the ashes. I haven't really done much of any of the quests in denerim and have no clue what other 10 mile long dungeons with a pack of creatures in every room I will have to traverse before the end..


P.S I have no idea how you've played Warden's keep for 2 hours and aren't done, I'm by far no power gamer and I play on normal and i'm a very thorough person when it comes to trying every room etc.. and it was sure as hell no 2 hours.

How the hell can you guys spend that many hours on a a single play through? My first playthrough took 42 hours and I did every sidequest that I could find (which was close to if not all of them, I was very thorough).

I'm not even trying to brag. I just don't see how it is possible.

The only way you did that is if you didn't read any of the journal entry's.  You certainly didn't do all of the side quests that are possible through exploration or just plain in sight ones.  You definetly had the game on Easy mode, which is just kinda dumb IMO.  You looked online for the answer to everythign that you got stuck on.

I played the first half of the game on normal and the later parts on hard. I didn't read any of the codexs, but I ended the game with the total completion at about 85%, 97% of the world explored (got the traveler achievement right before the final fight I'm playing on a 360)

I don't understand why you are doubting this. Where could I have gotten stuck? The game is very straightforward.


EDIT: I just went back and checked my % complete. It says 100% now. I guess that's because I did all the origin stories....so I either did all the sidequests on my first playthrough (don't remember) or I did all of them throughout all my guys (probably)

I like to play every side quest and therefore it takes me a while to play, as many of you have also pointed out. I make a run throught the quest and before I move on, I pop open the CE game guide (Awesome in it's own right) and doble check everything to make sure I didn't miss something. Which I might add, I always seem to miss 1 or 2 quest. But that's what I bought the CE game guide for (Plus a lot more. The CE game guide is so detailed, I don;t think I have ever used a game guide that is this quality. I am talking in a world all of its own, Just like DAO)!

Have I mention how awesome this game is!
