I read in the pc gamer Preview. i dont know if thats the main quest or everything included how ever...
Not very long considering the price, compared to the orginal... oh well

And its actualy answered with a Q&A with Fernado Melo.. so from the horse mouth if you will.

vs sitting in camp with that character doing nada that takes 20 seconds. I'll take the 20 hours x replayability on different characters. The sequel I would expect to be game-length, and expansion, well....probably varies. I think 15-20 hours is fine.

[Fates end]

sounds fine in length.

[Grimgor79]

If it's really 20-30 hours for completionists (read SLOW players) like me then that is well worth it.



Replay value and such should be very high as well.

[Alandros]

Sounds about right, the base game can be played through pretty quick if you rush through it, though the re-playability adds quite a bit of time.



I'm sure others plan the same as me, loading every favored character into this new setting to see the different level of reactivity. That alone promises quite a bit of time of entertainment, not including all of the brand new content on it's own (and it's own re-playability).

[Wishpig]

Mah, that sucks. I was worried it was gonna be below 10 though... so I guess I'm not totally upset.



For me it will be the replayibility factor though.If two run through feel radically different, then I have no complaints.



But what else did the review say? Did it get a good score?

[failsafeignition]

Sounds about right? What?



12-15 hours of what is essentially an official mod for $40?



I don't see why anyone would replay the expansion more than twice. Once as an old, main story warden and once as a new orlesian warden. This game seems to be very detached from the old storyline...I don't see more than a handful of casual references to the player's choice in the main game occurring.



Sounds about ten to fifteen bucks too pricey to me.

Agreed, chop ten dollars off, and I wouldn't complain one bit. I'm more worried about the expense hurting the franchise rather then my pocket though.

That said, it doesn't seem detached at all. Actually it sounds like more will transfer over then in ME2.

[Cutlass Jack]

Does seem a bit short for the pricetag.



If some of the new features were usable in Origins too, that would be different. But by all accounts that doesn't seem to be the case.

Maybe you can share you magic crystal ball in which you can see or not see anything with any level of accuracy.

If you want to bring the value to hour comparisson many games $40+ are that long or less, so sorry but that comparison simply fails.  Just because the base game was an amazing value for the cost it doesn't mean that this value -> time cost is not still quite good.

I can see three playthroughs for myself. Two with Origins-imported Wardens... Each with opposite choices in all of the main quests, including one with Loghain Joined and Anora on the throne, the other with Loghain dead and Alistair on the throne. The third with the Olesian Warden.

If I can keep myself entertained for a whole weekend, it's worth $40 for me. If I get more out of it than that, which I'm sure I will, that's just gravy on top.

[Harelda]

$40?! Seriously? Amazon.co.uk has it for £15 preorder on the PC, which I guess is about $25...

That seems like a massive variation in price...Ooh, I can get free shipping too

Edit: Fine, content. I'm still replaying the original game. I can't imagine I'll not be playing Origins occasionally a few months after release.

I'm not terribly good at english, but i don't want to sound rude when asking this -- where have you seen info that more stuff will tranfer over than ME2? From what I can tell, you will meet some old companions and they will say hi and might mention "hey remember that time we killed all those darkspawn?" and there will be references to the current king/queen and how the archdemon was killed, but, beyond that, what else? 

With a whole new set of companions and the game taking place far away from the location of the main game, it doesn't seem like there will be much else (unless its been reported somewhere that this is not true...which may be. i've been away from the internet for a couple months and haven't been keeping up

there's no magic in this crystal ball. just common sense.

Of course being queen, king, old romances, your end game descion will all come into play. But the devs have also said, the origin's you picked will also be represented, you will meet old faces (not limited to companions), the world will recognize you as a hero, and while not related to the story your stats and everything but DLC items will transfer over (and that may be fixed in a future patch.)

And thats only the stuff they told us about... their not gonna tell us every little thing that transfers over.

PS- You didn't sound roud don't worry.

I don't care what anyone says. I will be surprised if I take fewer than thirty hours to finish it. I'm a completionist, and a slow player besides. I took around 120 hours getting through DA:O. Hell, I took over 60 on my first ME2 playthrough.



I have learned over the years how to read a playthrough time estimate for a game and convert it to "me hours." It usually comes to much more than the estimate.

But very long compared to other titles, even full games.

Yes, it's less value for money than the original, but still way more value for money than most titles out there on the market.

Me too. I finished DA:O at 123 hours. And I don't get how anyone could've played it first time in under 70 like some claim. At least not on the PC. *shrugs* It sounds like the standard hours estimate for an expansion, which I have always come in at least 50% higher than.

[Zabaniya]

This definitely contradicts what other sites have said it being at least over 20 hours... but whatever. I still have it on pre-order.

[NightmarezAbound]

yeah sounds about right figure that is about the game time length of an Uncharted 2. which would cost $20 more. so cannot complain on price really.

and who knows, maybe further dlc will be just for Awakenings?

[goofygoff]

My first DA:O playthrough clocked in at about 25 hours.



12-15 hours for an expansion would be just fine with me.

Fair enough for you to say, though I would rather argue common sense would suggest one make no assumptions about something that has such little details surrounding it.

Sick of these comprisons to games like Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted... THEY HAVE MULTIPLAYER. It's a diffrent story.

Now, Awakening's replayibilty may counter the shorter length, but comparing it to uncharted 2 isn't quite fair.

[Tsuga C]

You're paying for new spells, classes, etc., not just a new, somewhat brief story with the same engine.

[Ser Jory-]

Sounds good to me. It's pretty much what I expected, After all this is an expansion and not a full game.
