We hope that there are enough dragons roaming the wilderness in Dragon Age: Inquisition, because we think that you'll be killing plenty of them if you're to spend over 200 hours with the upcoming RPG.
Speaking with IGN, producer Cameron Lee reckons that "a completist playthrough takes more than 200 hours," which no doubt includes tackling every sidequest, seeing every location, and nabbing absolutely every piece of loot that you come across in your adventure. As fans will know, this is the first time in the series that developer BioWare will be unleashing you and your party into a vast, open world, so we suppose that ridiculously long playthroughs could certainly be possible, especially if you're keen on taking in all of the pretty sights.
Focus purely on the main story quests, however, and Lee estimates that it'll take you around 20 to 30 hours to reach a conclusion, but in a BioWare game, we'd be a bit scared that if we missed out on some character specific missions, most of our party would end up dead and buried by the time that the credits rolled. How long do you usually spend in your favourite RPGs? Are you a perfectionist, or do you tend to stride through each playthrough? Sit and grow a beard with us in the comments section below.

I used to enjoy nothing more than sitting down and exploring the game to its full potential. Games like ff7 through 12, skyrim and fallout have take hundreds if not thousands of hours of my life. Problem I have now is I do not get the time to do this as I now have a family and kids. My gaming hits have to be in short bursts these days, I can no longer lose my self in a game to explore every nook and cranny 😔
My name is Splat and I have an addiction to sidequests.
I've put 255 hrs into Skyrim so far and I still haven't finished it yet lol. I've also put around 250 hrs into Fallout 3 but thats multiple play throughs on XBOX 360 and I have the GOTY Edition on my PS3. My next beg one is going to be The Witcher 3 and I can't wait! Also put atleast a 100 hrs into Minecraft if that counts lol.
I totally am a side quest guy. Love getting as much done as possible before going to far into the main story. I'm really excited for dragon age! I thought they said 120 hours though for the full play through.. wow 200 is quite a bit more.
I have yet to play the Dragon Age games. Yea, I am aware of how stupid that is. Lol. But I am looking forward to playing the original, this game, & maybe even the much ridiculed sequel.
And I tend to be a completionist whore when it comes to my RPG's. It's, mostly, the only games where I have a chance to get a platinum trophy (usually no multiplayer or beat the game 5 times on different difficulty trophies), so maybe that has something to do with it.
Customisation baby.
I played the first one and I liked it up until the end which made the entire game for me seem really bad.. they actually half-arsed the ending on the first game and while there were multiple endings there were things I wanted to be done in the story that they never put in, which they should have (I won't get into that, but just saying) so mmmmmmyeah.
I love RPG'S & open-world game's in general, I've also have spent hundreds of hours in these type of game's. Doing everything the game has to offer, while also platinum it. DA:Inquisition will be no different, also looking forwards to Lords Of The Fallen.
I find 200+ hours to be quite off-putting tbh!
I will be playing a Qinari
Sounds about right. I dropped over 300 in Skyrim to max every stat and obtain every piece of maxed enchanted, crafted gear. Hell, in my younger days I played phantasy star online so much that the ticker on your save file that told how many hours you had with that one character hit 999hours and I was still playing with him. And that was only ONE of the maxed out characters I made. The sole reason I purchased my ps4 was to relish in the next gen open world epic rpgs. With the new hardware developers have a chance to truly create fully fleshed out worlds. One game Dragon Age can literally last me months. Much better bang for your buck and much better type of game to slow roll through and enjoy it all.
