My first play through was on Normal, and I did not skip the dialogue, I did not read every Codex entry since most of them have no real purpose to the quest of the game. That said, I did not do EVERY side quest, I did however complete most of them since I know what they all are, and my character finished at level 23 and I did this in 31 hours. So how some of you get over 100 hours, I just don't see possible. Even putting it on Nightmare only added around 2 hours more to my next game play. My "completionist" character which I used on my 4th or 5th game I used the PRIMA Guide to do all possible side quests and that game only topped out at about 44ish. So someone please tell me how you're getting 100 hours out of this. Are you people just really slow readers when you read the Codex? I can't imagine that the 360 version (which I have) and the PC is that drastically different play through wise.
lol. Either people are just REALLY bad at games or I'm just that good. And I'm not about toting my own ego here, but seriously, how can you people take so long for this?
I never said I zipped through the dialogue, I read all the dialogue, otherwise I wouldn't know what decisions I wanted to make. My 31 hour play through I didn't read ALL the codex entries I discovered, I only read the ones I felt had a baring on the immediate storyline. Regardless, the 31 hour character had completed almost every side quest as well, so that still doesn't add up to how I'm somehow missing 70 hours in comparison to some of you. Because I know it doesn't take 70 hours to read all the Codex in the entire game. My character with all side quests completed and 100% of the world discovered has barely under 50. So really the math doesn't add up to me on how you people take so long. Maybe it's your battle tactics. Do you people actually use the traps and create different items to use in battle such as acid flasks etc? I don't use any of that. My team consists of 2 Warriors 1 Rogue 1 Mage and I play take no prisoner all out attack. I whip through battles, perhaps this is it. But idk. I guess you people are slow or something idk.
Like I said before, I used the PRIMA Guide on one of my play throughs, my "completionist". I completed every side quest, collected every Codex entry, and got every unique piece of equipment. All in under 50 hours. And I'll go out on a limb here and state confidently enough that I DOUBT if I read every Codex entry it's going to take another 50 hours. But regardless, we can debate this until doomsday, obviously you people are doing something WAAAAAY different than I am, and that's fine, but when it comes to an estimate of 15-20 hours I just question whether that is 15-20 of you kind of people's hours, or mine. Cause if it's you guys, I'd be concerned that I would whip through Awakening in 5 hours. Which isn't worth my money. I don't buy a lot of games, but when I do, I look to see how much time I will actually get out of the game. If it seems like a generous amount of time, then I buy it, if not, then it's just not worth the time. And we can gripe about how some game like say Assassin's Creed 2 people say they took like 5-10 hours on. Well hense the reason I didn't buy that. I don't go and buy these shooter games that people whip through in 4-5 hours, I get games that will actually keep me entertained for a long time. And it also has to have that redraw ability. Something that I could pick up 3 or 4 years later and be able to play through again. I recently just started playing Final Fantasy X again. I already have 30 hours in that and I have just gotten to Macalenia Temple. Games like that are worth my $60, not something that will not even pass 30 hours.
Here are the replies I had on this thread until you started to put in your nickel and dime Ranger. Please point out to me where I personally ran you into the ground about being such a lousy gamer, then ran off with your wife while your slow ass was playing DA:O because I beat it 5000 hours before you. Thanks.
