No spoilers please. I am considering going against my original plan of waiting for the eventual price drop and getting this tomorrow since a friend just gave me a $20 best buy gift card for no reason. Before I do buy it instead of Brutal Legend, though, I need to know how long it is really? I am not talking a straight go playthrough either. I already know you can probably breeze through it in 12 hours. I need to know how long a thorough semi-completionists playthrough takes. No loitering for no reason but still searching every area completely and talking to every individual till conversations are all repeats. If it still doesn't crawl above 18 hours I'll probably just get Brutal Legend. If a solid complete playthrough can go over 25 hours without loitering then I'll go ahead and get Awakenings now instead of waiting. If it matters, I am playing it on the 360.

I completed everything I could find and finished it in 10 hours, I would say its probably going to talk you about a quarter of the time it took to finish origins.

Dude you're so full of crap. Count on spending at least 20 hours on a casual walkthrough, the guy that wrothe that crap doesnt know what hes talking about. I finished the game in just over 20 without completing everything.

I'm at the 5 hour marks and just starting the 2nd of 3 main plot quests. Skipped most of the side quests thus far so I'd guess around 10-20 hours of gameplay depending on how much time to take to do side quests and explore.

[Jenocide]

6 or so hour's in and im hardly at the section plot point,

i'm slow and read all the codex pages ;D

I'm a semi-completionist who took her time in places to compare skills, weapons and armor etc and it took me 16 hours. The pieces that I left out would likely add another hour.

Note, though that I plyed on normal, and switched the endfight to casual. Which meant all my fights were a hack/slash breeze. If you bump up the difficulty, it should take you much longer to get through all the fights.

Depends on the player..some breeze through it..I am currently 12 hours in..and still have alot of quests I haven't even looked at yet.

As one of the Devs stated...your mileage may vary.

I am a completionist..so it may take me longer than the quoted 15 hours..originally guessed at.

[BanksHector]

I am just finish the third main plot quest and I have about 11 hours into it. I only read about 10-20 codex and I done all the side quests I have access to atm. I would have more time in but I screwed up on a couple parts and restarted on last save before that, so I rushed pasted a few parts to get back to where I was. If i would of just played it normal instead of rushing I would have about 15 hours in so far.

As a completionist it took me 12 hours on my first playthrough(optional boss and all side quests completed). 10 hours sounds about right. I'm sure the average player could complete this game around 15 hours.

[Atmosfear3]

15 hours for $40 dollars...



Forget /facepalm. I think /facedesk is more appropriate for this expansion.

[Seanylegit]

I did everything minus reading codexes and Oghren's companion quest and I clocked about 13 or 14 hours.

[Axekix]

14hrs even, first play through. No real desire to replay atm...

[Spyndel]

I know a guy who beat it in one night, but he was trying to beat it in one night.



Took me about 15 hours on Nightmare doing all meaningful quests I could find, not counting the time I spent on the forums trying to find out how to work around a pretty severe bug.



20 hours is kind of pushing it, I think.

[Merci357]

I took my time looking around, read every codex, did every quest, even spend time wandering around looking for dialogue triggers, and finished after 18 hours.

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

I don't know how much time I have on my mage, and I'm getting towards the end I think. if you got that gift card, and therefore could get the expansion for like $25 at most, then I'd say just get it. assuming you're a DA fan and mostly just want more play time in said universe.

haven't played or seen Brutal Legend, but it seems like a slightly more RPG-ish guitar hero. just my opinion, obviously.

EDIT: and OP avoided the trap! the OP in the link in my sig explains this edit nicely.

It took me 17 hours with all sidequests completed (barring two bugged companion quests). That 17 hours includes 1-2 hours of mulling about how to equip my team and whether to buy new gear, and getting familiar with the new maps, quests and bugs. There are not many choices that matter in the game, so replay value is much less than DA:O.

[imprecis]

This game took me 25h, because after playing 10 h without manualy saving I had a big bug (with empty inventory) and play again. From the beginning to ending it took me 15h with compliting everything except 1 little quest. This game is too short for me, especially for $30 (in Poland 89 złotych ) when DA:Origin costs $40...

[Haexpane]

29 hours, on hard, almost every side quest completed. Could not activate 2 of the random battles



3-4 respecs, and 2-3 sessions of rune crafting.

[Noilly Prat]

I agree that around one fourth the time you took to finish Origins seems like a probable completion time.

I'm a slow player and serious completionist (I talk to everyone multiple times, backtrack to make sure I'm not missing anything, waste time in item crafting and tactics, etc.), and I took almost thirty hours.  I think I did everything except for half of the companion quests (Oghren didn't like me enough, and bugs prevented me from accessing two others).  I took well over a hundred hours to finish DA:O.

Also, Brutal Legend is a great game.  It's not an RPG, and it has next to nothing in common with Guitar Hero.  It's more of an open world, hack-and-slash action-adventure game with battle scenes that mix real-time strategy and action.  It's pretty short too, though.

[Drag0n-RD]

Took me 18 hours (doing about 50% of the side quests) on Nightmare. It was a fun blast through but unbelievably easy. My main character dropped twice on a dragon and the final boss.

[dan107]

I played on Nightmare, did every quest, read every codex entry, and listened to every line of dialogue. Took me 32 hours, as compared to 168 for Origins.



However, I do recommend that you wait for a patch though. Right now it's quite buggy, to the point of not being able to complete certain companion subplots unless you go out of your way to do quests in a particular order.

Weird. I took about 120 hours to finish my first Origins playthrough, but only 18 to finish Awakening. I did all side quests except Velanna and Sigrun's quests, and the Wade quest line. From what I gather, though, those things would maybe add another hour, at best. Yes, 10-20 hours seems to be right.

[Ravenfeeder]

20hrs vs 70hrs for DAO. I know I missed some bits, but then I did on the first run-through of DAO as well.

[Noilly Prat]

I'm having to kind of guess about my playtime, also, as I tend to leave the game running while I go make food and allow myself to be distracted by other things. It might have been closer to 25, I don't know. (My actual number in the end was a little over 30 hours.)



I do think it's a lot easier to drag out the Origins experience than Awakening. More characters, more dialogue, more locations and quests and everything... I think Awakening has a solid number of side quests for its length, but some of them were a lot shorter than I had expected them to be.

[surfgirlusa_2006]

I'm currently about 9.5 hours into it, and I still need to finish 1.5 of the main quests, and a lot of little sidequests. So like a lot of other people, I'll probably end up clocking between 10-20 hours altogether.
