13 hours is still 5 times as long as Call of Duty single player

But CoD has multiplayer. DAA doesn't soo....the point is?

i agree it costs too much but if you finished in 10 hours you went way too fast. I am at eight hours and have finished one of the main story quests and the two side quests you get at the start.

Prostitutes have replay value?

Of course.


I am at 6 hours and I finished Velanna's quest and several sidequests at Amaranthine city. I think it will reach 10-12+ hours when I finish. I think it's reasonable.
And I am planing on making 4 or 5 playthroughs in the immediate future. Which would amount to 50 hours. Perfectly resonable imo.

I did it in 12 hours and change, with the only 'remaining quests' being ones that were bugged due to abrupt cutscenes interrupting the completion trigger or my choices contradicting quests. I had no idea I was even close to the ending until the final scene played out. All achievements except 1 attained on the first play through, with no strategy guide and no website 'help'. Apparently I also attainted all companions and completed their individual quests. It's a very straightforward story this time.

 It was an enjoyable if abrupt romp, and I look forward to the next playthrough to get whatever that missing trophy is, and to see if anything new opens up from bugged quests I didn't get through the first time around. But there's no way this thing was going to take me 30-40 hours to complete considering how straightforward and compact everything is. The price was a bit steep for play time,but not enjoyment. Besides, I have FF13 to grind endlessly on.

One Night? A night seems an awful short time to finish it in but nevertheless you could always play again with a new char and go into the game with a different set of mind, in Origins in my second play i discovered and played through much much more, just choose different convo options and try to be evil or something, it will work itself out

[The Dhaise]

If people liked DA:O enough to play through it multiple times, I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that the expansion would be devoured upon arrival.

My main complaint is the beginning. What was the point of making all those different choices if SOMEONE who didn't end my story as Queen suddenly shows up proclaiming her love for someone she didn't marry- particularly since my Warden was 'dead' and I thought I'd get to play the orlesian instead. Way too much handwaving which led to a rocky start.

Isn't Mass effect 2 around 15 hours long, give and take?

[MelodicCure]

1 night? Must have not slept at all and played 15 hours straight? I got 5 hours on it so far and just getting out of Vigil's keep. I think you people might be playing on way to easy of a difficulty. The point of bio-ware games is a challenge as well. I have no remorse on these douche bags on the console who play on easy and think they are the shiz nits. If you play on easy and storm through the game in 5 minutes that isn't my or biowares problem.

Uhhh....try 43.7 hours for me and that isn't completely being precise with all missions.  ME1 was 15-20 hours long.

I did spend like 5 hours on mining planets for nothing though in ME2.  Worst part of the game.  I hope that doesn't return in ME3.

People will probably be whining for Bioware to upgrade their professional sex workers now.

Not a bad game over all, could have been much better...my only real complaint is spending 43$ for a game I cleared in one night.

Think of the game as a cheap prostitute.

(without the STDs)

Speaking of prostitutes...now that I've decided against buying awakening I wonder what I should spend that 40$ on...

Broken MP.  The point is the single player content of DA A is like 5x as long as COD4 and cost less...

[Haexpane]

Morrowind GOTY was like 200 hours long

[Haexpane]

God of War 3 is like 9 hours

9/10 would read again.

[Leon Elsa]

And thats why you wait for the price to drop. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same thing they did with DA:O back when it came out.

[Kileyan]

I could MAYBE see it being worth 45 bucks if the new class specializations worked with the original game once they were unlocked. That would give me many levels and battles to play around with the new stuff, once I was done with a short expansion.

I honestly cannot figure out where Bioware is going with this. New "classes" should be available across all content releases. Locking certain classes and/or skills to their own little expansions seems to be missing a great opportunity to make the entire game much bigger and more diverse. I'm not talking the higher level "epic" skills, I just mean the standard 4 power class specs and such.

Honestly this is my only issue with it.  I liked playing the BG series and being able to go back to the original after the expansion with the new level cap and items.

Some people say it took them 10 hours and some say it took them 35. Depends on how your characters are built, how many side-quests you do, how much you explore, if you mess around with merchants/economy, if you do crafting, if you respec to make new builds, all sorts of things like that. I'm sure you can power through Awakening in 10 hours, but you can also get through Origins in 20 hours easily, if not faster. I know from experience that a lot of my time was spent talking to party members in camp, reloading saves over and over to get the "right" conversation options and quest outcomes, etc. If I spent 60 hours but my game time counter only reads 30 because of my obsessive quicksaving and reloading, can I factor that into the game's "actual length"?

Doing ONLY the main quests that progress the story Origins can be completed in 10 hours (less if you're using console commands) awakening in 4. This of course if you know what to do and dont have to read crap. If however you want to do a completionist run of either ...you have a good amount of work in to store.

Jeez people, I'm not saying we should all agree with the OP but we dont need to flame them either. The OP felt like it was over-priced, that's a totally fair comment, some who have played it felt it was well worth the money spent and thats also fair.

Let's try to be a little more courteous on the boards here, I see post after post where the OP says something not "popular" and get's ripped a new one because of it, kinda ridiculous.

A certain amount of common sense is expected. The OP speedran the game and then complains it isn't long enough.

It's no different to complaining that your flight was delayed because you barricaded yourself in the cockpit. It's complete nonsense. What did he expect?

[bungo44]

im 7 hours in and haven't even touched the main storyline and ive still got loads of quest's to do for me £25 is well worth it , i bought bioshock 2 on release and go throught that in 9 hours so this is much better value for money in my opinion

Yeah you guys are getting ripped off. In the UK it retails for £15 for PC which equates to around $22. Much more reasonable.

the dragon age origins awakening retail dvd on UK is US$ 22???
in my country.............US$ 25...................
