Yeah, I've honestly never gotten that whole length criticism and comparison to previous DLCs.  Awakening is easily done in 10-12 hours.  Hell, Awakening, Ostagar, Stone Prisoner, Witch Hunt, Warden's Keep, and Golems, combined, can easily be done in less time than it took me to do Jaws of Hakkon.

 

lol mate. Sure.

BTW you missed Leliana's Song and that play as Darkspawn DLC in that list.

Also I wonder how you 'did' Stone Prisoner so quickly seeing as it was actually an extra companion that had interactions and dialogue pretty much throughout the game

[Beomer]

It took me 10 hours to do everything in Hakkon with nightmare difficulty. You're just not that good.

 

Actually considering all the DAO DLCs he's claiming to have completed in a shorter time that JoH, he's either very good or just blowing hot air.

[robertthebard]

I've played Awakening twice on normal difficulty, first time was 13hours and the second was about 18hrs doing everything. Doing everything in Hakkon on nightmare difficulty added up to 10hrs, doing everything in Descent on nightmare added up to 8hrs. Awakening was twice as long as both dlcs combined. No more shilling ok:)

Math is hard, eh?

According to you:

JoH on Nightmare was 10 hours, Descent on Nightmare was 8 hours, and Awakening clocking in at 18 hours was twice as long as the other two combined. 10 + 8 = 18. 18 == 18 18 * 2 = 36. Get a calculator and check my work. Or, maybe you've just heard the "longer than both combined" somewhere else, and don't know what "combined" means?

I didn't "miss" them, I simply didn't include them because you don't play them as your warden.  As far as Stone Prisoner, I was counting the time it takes to complete the mission in Honnleath.  I suppose, based on your reasoning, I should include virtually the entire length of play of Origins as the time it takes to finish Warden's Keep since I arm Sten with the ancient warden crossbow as soon as I get it and he carries it for the entire game.

 

As for the "lol mate.  Sure." retort, you can believe me or not as you wish.  I simply stated a fact and if you don't want to believe it, that's entirely up to you.  Finishing JoH (and by finish, that clearly means doing every shard, reading every note, doing every side quest as I don't consider it finished until then) takes as long or longer than all those other DLC I mentioned combined.  Not doing everything in the DLC means you haven't finished the DLC yet.  Ditto Inquisition itself.  Just doing the "main quest" is not finishing the game.  IMHO.

[Beren Von Ostwick]

By the way, I just want to point out that I am not being critical of those DAO DLCs by mentioning how quickly they can be done.  They were still great DLCs and I thoroughly enjoy doing them with every playthrough.  It's just that I never understood the criticism leveled at JoH being "so expensive" blah blah when it is chock full of great lore, fun combat, exploration, AND takes longer to do than all those others, even an "expansion."

I would rather have quality over quantity... Hakkon was even more inflated with trash content than the main game.  

[kingjezza]

People have completed Origins in less than an hour, there's a difference between content and length.

 

Not played JOH but if it's anything like the base game it's filled with large empty areas to get about and endless xp bloated enemies.

[Wulfram]

I hope if it'll be short it'll also be light on filler like "exploration"

[Catche Jagger]

Why would it be that long? It's not considered an expansion. It's doubtful we'll get something as long as Awakening, though we could still get a good deal of content, depending on how things go.

[Reznore57]

It probably won't be 20 hours , some part of the DLC may require a bit too much content.

You have the different Divines, the different status of companions etc...Companions voice acting can also be expensive so yeah.

And Mike Laidlaw said in an interview the DLC was quite linear .

JoH wasn't , it took me aound 11 hours , the Descent was linear 5 hours (maybe 2/3 if you just do the main quest)

This DLC will probably be between 5/8 hours.

Seems like you didn't read my post. 18 hours doing everything on Normal, if it was on nightmare the playtime would increase since DAo is a harder game than Inquisition. So yes Awakening is longer than both Hakkon and Descent. Keep shilling.

Good try? I did Awakening in about 10 hours, on Nightmare. In fact, I don't recall ever playing Origins on anything but Nightmare. It's nice to see that instead of "oops, I messed up", you resort to "Keep shilling". Sorry that your skill level is so low that you couldn't play Awakening on Nightmare, but those of us that did know better. That does, however, bring your claim of "I played Inquisition's DLC on Nightmare". You struggle with math, I can't help but think you struggle with integrity.

[Zatche]

Yeah, Awakening threw all of DAO's difficulty out the window.

[katerinafm]

It certainly looks lengthy and sounds lengthy from the trailer, but for the price tag and compared to the amount of content we got before with that price, I doubt it'll be that long. We can hope though.
 

[MaxQuartiroli]

I'd say between 5 n 8 hours, mostly dependant on the actual player him/herself

 

Well.. 5-8 hours story driven DLC with almost no filler content would be quite satisfying!

[Catche Jagger]

Why do people keep comparing the DLC in the Dragon Age games to Awakening?? Awakening was an expansion, implying content far greater than any regular DLC. I'm fairly certain that it was stated that there would not be any Awakening-type expansions for DAI, so why does everyone keep expecting the DLCs to be at that level? The DLC that we are getting for DAI is more along the lines of what we got for DA2, and there's nothing wrong with that.

[Fearsome1]

If you were doing just the main questline, I guess it was less than 20 hours. For those of us that did all the sidequests as well, however, it was a good bit more than 20 hours (at least the first time through, which is what I personally base how long content is).

 

Did you just pick random dialogue options and only play the main quests in Awakening?

 

 

Yes, Awakening could easily have lasted over the 20 hr mark for those wanting to do everything within (which was often how I played it).

[Fearsome1]

Well .... when you put it that way, I suppose that 24-25 hours (or so) of total post-game dlc content overall isn't too shabby!

[Jester]

Yeah. But Awakening was priced at $30-40 at launch (I don't exactly remember) not $15. 

So I don't expect Trespasser to last 20 hours. However, 8-10 hours of focused story would be more than enough. 

[Heimdall]

I'm thinking five hours at max, I got the sense there aren't any huge exploration areas.

[NoRmAnDy-SR2]

3 hours of heavy story content for me is much better than 10 hours of running around silently.

[Lord Gunsmith 90]

I think it will be somewhere between 5 and 10 hours in length.  But I think it will be all story content and not much exploration.

[Zatche]

Yep. Awakening was $40

Yep. From the GameInformer interview with Laidlaw.

 

"...Hakkon was a chance to refine some of what we learned about exploration, and The Descent was an opportunity for us to work more closely with the Austin team to make more of a dungeon crawl. This one is the more narrative heavy of the three."

[Scofield]

So like the previous DLCs? Hopefully there is more dialogue, cutscenes this time around instead of fetch quests and boring exploration because that inflated the playtime of Hakkon and Descent.

I think this be cutscene heavy tbh, think going into  DA:I an doing absolutely nothing but the main quest

 

Doing that for 5 - 8 hours epilogue? yes sir thank you very much
