Can't help you on the character class, as I don't own an XBOX so don't know what class is best suited to the controls (I like Rogues though), but my first run through the game took about 87 hours. Second run was over 70 hours.

Well, some people who don't do the sidequests or read any dialgue are doing the game in like 25-30 hours -apparently-.





The general consensus is that first-time playthroughs run somewhere between 45-60 hours while being what appears to be thorough...then when you are done you realize you missed a bunch of stuff. Extremely cautious people who also read every codex entry as they go are capping 100-120+ hours easily.





The easiest character to control is the fighter. Walk up and hit crap, no thinking. They are also the weakest class, IMHO. Rogues are the next more complex, requiring flanking and more use of 'special abilities' to survive, but doing more damage. they are also the second most effective class. Mages are the most diverse and difficult to master class (a t of people on consoles complain about AOE spells, although I have never had an issue) but played right they are also by far the most powerful class.





Hope that helps.

Average user - 70-80 hours +

Non average - 20 hours.

70-80 hours for an average user? I dont think so... 

I think more along the lines of around 50 hours for the average user.

To be fair mages arent particularly hard to master, just learn a couple of overpowered key spells such as ice cone, crushing prison and mana clash and your good to go.

On the console you aim with your clunky controller, and it is a lot less imprecise than on PC which is why people seem to have difficulties with it.

Well I am just saying based on a huge majority of people have 70+ hours.

I for one beat it in 11 hours with all quests, so to each his own. (skipped dialogue)

Yea, probably for people who frequent this site 70+ hours, but i dont think people who post on here are average users. Just to be annoyingly pedantic

Oh, sorry, i understand you now.

It took me about 60 hours the first time around.

I did most of the quests and visited all areas.

As for the class:

I can't tell you how the controls are since i'm on a PC, but i have played through DA:O 4 times, three of those were as a Rogue

[.Raven.rpg]

It took me 76 hours to complete game first time

I am on PC

[JMoMo]

wow...i guess this is kinda becoming a big thread but yeah...you see i wanna be a mage and ive heard it's hard to actually use a mage on the consles..is that true or is it that some people cant seem to figure a good way of using one?

Took me 81 hours first time through as a female noble rogue on pc. Finished at lvl 21. Although I apparently missed some quests and only have 92% world explored

[OH-UP-THIS!]

11 hours? uh yeah OK.

powergame much? for the Eyes of Andraste, could ya at least try to encourage new people to actually "play" the game, instead of missing it?



Personally, first time 87 hours.....second 78 hours, third unfinished(wrong class for my taste),fourth still playing beyond 100!

[Wompoo]

First time around 54 hours only, I hate codex and loath achievements. Every other play through around 43 to 47 hrs. I play the main story and a little rp only and certainly do not bother with the pointless quest dispensers at the chantry, free lance mages and fighter type guilds loitering around in back allies and pubs. By the varied play times shown here, there is something in the game for everyone, but a lot of it is still just padding.

[Sarielle]

Out of curiosity, where do you even see this stat?

It might have been 100% after i played through the other Origins now that i think of it, so add approx. 3-4 more hours on that.

These are also the people who complain that the DLC is too short because they did it in 20 minutes.

On the subject... Rogues are a lot of fun to play if you like going in sneak mode to scout ahead and plan better strategies. Mages can really turn the tide in a battle and Fighter are pretty much basic vanilla like in other RPGs.

If you are more in the story, you should pick more according to your origin than class, that's where the fun is for us old school story RPG guys.

On one playthrough I'm actually letting the computer level up my companions automatically, I am now using many skills that I would never have picked and that is fun too as it is forcing me to develop new strategies or strategeries as one would say.
