So I've just finished playing DA - Origins, and the game stats tell me it took somewhere around 154 hours to complete. My sense is this is pretty long compared to many gamers (I'm amazed when I read that some players have been through the game 3 or 4 times already!), but I tend to take things slow and to be thorough. (I received the accomplishment, "easily sidetracked," for completing at least 75% of all sidequests, I think it was.) But then again that's how I read a good book: I'm in no hurry to finish it; I enjoy savoring every moment.

Also, I find myself wondering whether the "game timer" counts only "real-time" action in the game world (when characters are free to move around), or also time spent while in "pause" mode. I do tend to hit the "pause" button quite a lot, to look around the environment before plunging in.

So how long did it take you to finish the game? (Operational definition of 'finishing': defeating the archdemon and completing the short 'epilogue.')

To do everything (optional and required) I average around 50-68 hours.



* point of note, I probably average 10 hours just at Warden's Keep and Camp standing there customizing.

From what I remember, some here have finished as quick as 40 - 50 hrs. I actually haven't finished myself yet. I am at the point where I have gathered everyone for the Landsmeet and I have already spent 78 hrs in the game. I am not sure how much more is left but I imagine I have like 25% of the game left and that would put me at an estimated 100+ hrs of gameplay.

Careful, this topic has engendered flamebait. Some people will attack your intelligence or ability to play a game because you took so much longer than they did.

I took 123.6 hours the first time. I've never taken under 70 hours. I don't play in a hurry either. I've seen people with times posted around 175 hrs. I've seen people claim they played it in 25. This is, IMHO, the ultimate YMMV stat. But lots of people will say "their" way to play the game must be the right way.

My first playthrough was 43 hours or so. About the same for the next one as well. I know I'm missing a lot of stuff, and am finding more each time I play through it.

[Eurypterid]

First run: 87 hours

Second run: 78 hours

Third and Fourth runs: pending.

[hexaligned]

First run was a little over 50 hours, all side quests done except the prison escape, I didn't realize giving up on the Cauthorn battle was a legitimate option, just kept at it till I killed her. Second and third were around 40ish skipping large chunks of the dialogue.

Edit:  To the OP, yeah it counts time you were paused too, subtract 4 or 5 hours from each of my times prob considering I would often leave the game paused while cooking/on the phone/whatever

Exactly the same as mine.  87 hours for the first run, though I did back up and replay two sections, probably shaving several hours off the playtime.  Just in the origin alone I saved an hour in the replay, and in the Deep Roads I might have saved 10 (I had to back up to a save 25 hours earlier).

[k9medusa]

About 45 hours and only 25% -30% done... lol .. Yes, I do play it slow also. I only pause the game for 8 eights with out playing it -- rest of the time, either I am controlling my char(s) or looking at the stats, char sheet, etc I am doing everything that I can, next time, I will choose a completely different class, race and back ground and try again

[warden guru]

what the hell are you guys doing all my playthroughs are only like 35 hours.

[Fishy]

I average 40 hours per playthrough .. I do many playthrough because well . I tryed every damn origins(Just not the dalish one) .. Most classes .. and i also start using different mod that add a LOT to the game and also some fan made campaign that are very good..



Yet i have completed about 85% of the game.I think i just tend to miss a lot of tertiary quest (Like giving trap to a npc in lothering that i never did .. Plus you will always miss some quest depending of the path you choose and i always tend to pick the good path ) ..



If you intend to do another playthrough you should really add some mod.The mod i added just recently add so much more to the game it's unbelievable what the fan can create .. Which in many case surpass the original work .. Because they care much more to the *little detail*



Go ahead and download some of them imo.

[DargonBlak]

my first complete playthrough, after goofing through all the origin stories, was 100+ hours (maybe even 120+) ... but without any DLC

i've been tempted to see how quickly i could run the gauntlet, but then i'd have to be willing to skip all the side quests... and since i only play them for the XP (and certainly not the rewards), i wonder how my level would look...

i suppose it doesn't matter that my final level would be reduced since we all know by now that the game difficulty scales with level...LOL

60-65 hours for the first run.

50 hours for that run replayed after I knew more about the game.

50 hours for that same run replayed AGAIN.

30 hours for a recent playthrough where I didn't read codexes and skipped dialogs/cutscenes.



And uh, probably about 100 hours scattered through other playthroughs that have gone as far as the landsmeet and been deleted because I decided the character wasn't for me.

[ArtRogue]

My first playthrough was about 125 hours including all DLC

Heh, this is the same thing I ask when people say they do it in the 30 to 40 hour range. My first run (87 hours), I didn't even fully read the Codex entries (I just skimmed them and closed them right away). I didn't skip any dialog though, and I did as many quests as I could. But I didn't backtrack/replay any sections either.

I honestly don't know how some of you guys are finishing in the 30 to 40 hour range, even if you're skipping dialogs.

[Claude_Speed]

first playthrough was about 55 hours.



I recently started my second campaign and I'm planning on being more thorough this time...I hope I'll be finished by the time 'Awakening' comes around. (so that I can continue with my second char and not the 1st)

Well, when I did it I skipped dialogs, cutscenes, and I make a conscious effort to be as efficient as possible with my time. I gathered and completed quests in a way that I wouldn't have to enter an area more times than I absolutely had to. And I built my group to be pretty darn powerful.

[Challseus]

I did most sidequests, and didn't skip through any dialogue, and it took me 64 hours.

[Trooper Guy1]

 I don't really see this even matters. Should enjoy the game and every aspect instead of trying to complete it very fast. I don't think anyone cares that you completed it in 30 hours, or 40 hours, etc.

[VaeVictus X]

First playthrough took me 94 hours. I'm on my second playthrough now and I expect it to take about as long.

Roleplaying.  Making thoughtful decisions takes time.

Plus I have the plot helpers disabled, so I often have to search for things rather than just follow map markers.  And I don't know who offers quests, so I have to talk to everyone.  Everyone.

And then there's going back through areas to open chests I couldn't open the first time I found them.

And on that 87 hour playthrough, I didn't even do Sten's companion quest because I didn't get to know him well enough for him to tell me about it.

[I Valente I]

My first time through was 68 hours. I only did a few companion quests, some side quests, and the Stone Prisoner DLC. Oddly enough I had 96% world explored but only 60% game completed. I never did find out how to travel to Redcliffe dungeons. My second time around will probably be around the same, but with everything done.



As far as how I play. I usually try to walk in towns(unless I'm impatiend....or my party members playing red light-green light behind my back finally gets to me) Read most of the codexes before a quest, search for gear, spend time equipping and re-equipping party members, setting up tactics etc..

[Red Frostraven]

First time through, 90% of all the quests finished, Return to Ostagar and whatever DLC shale came with -- just under 60 hours.
