100 hours?! I think I just died and went to Gamer Heaven!!!!!

[Beerfish]

Maria is a speed Griffon.

Presumably those numbers are estimates they've made about the 'average player' and the telemetry they've collected from the previous DA titles.  Speed gamers will not doubt press through a lot faster.

 

I remember on 12 March 2011 someone on the old forums posted they'd finished DA2 and it had taken them four hours.  That seems ridiculous to me (and we've no way of verifying it) but there will always be people that play these things at breakneck speed because they can/like to do so.

 

I'll be taking my time and smelling the roses (and the corpses of my victims!)

Man, this game sure as hell will negatively affect my weight lifting / exercise schedule...but in the most pleasant way.

 

Exercising vicariously through a video game character exercises your own body too... I mean Quizzy is going to be doing a LOT of running and fighting...

 

That's how reality works. Don't question it. Belieeeeeve in it.

[Hydromatic]

I am sure someone else will get 120 hours out of it.

Not much for side quests?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I'm going to need to take a lot of sick days.

[Need for Sleep]

Well, considering I HAVE to do as many complete playthroughs with various classes in Bioware games... I better tell my family and friends they won't be seeing much of me. I should also ask them if they'd be willing to leave provisions at my door step while I'm at it.

....

 

Approximately 70-100 hours for the first game.

 

Around 60-90 for consequent playthroughs.

 

I plan to try out at least 6 different characters.

 

So I'll be spending .... a fuckton of time on DAI in October/November.

 

Dear Lord.

700 divided by 24 is 29.167 days.

It is very exciting. This makes me happy. Ofc, I'll prolly be the 120 hour player. lol. But I do enjoy taking my time w/a good game.

[jtav]

I hope it's actually nowhere near that long because that longer a game is the more it tends to bloat, with sidequests that are completely pointless except for giving cash and XP. I'd be a very happy gamer if they just dropped the job board quests and random encounters in DAO and the nightime thugs in DA2. Even if it was 100 hours of actual meaty content, I'd be ambivalent because it makes it that much more likely I'm not going to play the game a lot.

I will do every side quest offered to me.

Alright. Guess I'm gonna have to space them out over 4 months instead xD

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Obviously I need to get my hands on the game but when it comes to RPGs that are this beefy, it often has way too much filler content and really bad pacing. I much prefer a smaller more compact experience that's quality throughout than something that throws 400 fed-ex quests at me without much meaning. I'm just going to guess but if this game is over 100 hours, prepare for a lot of bad side-quests. Perhaps one of the biggest flaws of open world games for me is lack of fulfilling content filled into the world.

 

As for the story being 40-50 hours, that's probably close to what DAO was. That game is amazing but perhaps the biggest flaw of the story was the pacing. They had too many parts that really didn't feel necessary. Hope it's not like that. This all assuming what you're saying is true. No offense but I really don't trust that source.

 

They have some games I can think of with this much content that was great throughout but they're very rare. Seeing as this is Bioware's first attempt at a grand open SP RPG like this, I'm expecting the flaws to show somewhere. They've done Mass Effect 1 a bit open but the side-quests in that game were really bad as was exploring. Maybe an unfair comparison because they're much bigger now. Baldur's Gate 2 was probably open also but it's a totally different beast when you fund a project this big I'd imagine.

[SerCambria358]

Definitely worth the $60. Take that 100+ hours and multiply it by the races, genders, and classes we get to be.....oh and dont forget the different character attitudes we can create.

DA:I is not open world.

[Welsh Inferno]

Probably 60-70 hours then.

[deuce985]

DA:I is not open world.

 

Yes it is. They're marketing it as such. Sandbox is not entirely the same thing as being an open game. The environments are vastly bigger than anything they've done before and still probably has plenty of artificial boundaries. That doesn't make it any less "open" though. A game has to have boundaries somewhere. If it was not open then they would not be marketing the exploration and size of the maps like they're doing now. They've made it pretty clear the entire experience is open even down to the choices you make.

[Bond]

Long games bore me tbh. they usually become drawn out and tedious in the middle

Yes, because the only 100h games i can think of are Skyrim and other RPG's in similar fashion. Free roam sand box. Now imagine 100 hours of exciting quests and plot. Now that  would be something else.

[SerCambria358]

Probably 60-70 hours then.

Im sure the word of someone who hasn't played the game carries much more legitimacy than a developer 

[AlanC9]

This is more hours than I actually want. I'd like to finish a single playthrough in less than two months of RT.

[myahele]

That's great news! I put in about 84 hrs on my 1st playthrough of dao. And thats without playing the dlcs.

The meaning of "open-world" is that you can go anywhere anytime, you can not do that in DA:I

 

The devs have even mentioned several times that it's not open world.

 

I believe they call it semi-open world.

 

 

Are the areas huge? Yes. But all of the areas in the game are not accesible anytime you want. That makes it not an open world.

[JakeLeTDK]

I think its actually depends on how the players play the game. Many people took 60 - 80 hours to finidh DA:O. I myself finished it in 40 - 50 hours so yeah. Still, if DA:I turn out as awesome as I've seen so far, I'm sure I won't mind throwing 100+ hours into it
