Dragon Age: Origins will be roughly 120 hours long

August 25, 2009 in News comments 10

BioWare's Ray Muzyka played through the company's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins, and according to the statistics, it took him about 120 hours to get through 90% of the campaign.

If you were hoping for a hefty package with this one, you may get even more than you bargained for...

Ray Muzyka: If you’re going to say Dragon Age is one of the best games you’ve ever played… I’ve finished Dragon Age. I’ve played it extensively on PC and console. I can really stand behind it. I’ve played it a lot. On one of the play-throughs I spent 120 hours. Two hours a day for 60 days, 90 percent of the game, according to the telemetry. And I loved it. Every minute of it. I couldn’t wait to come home. After about ten hours of gameplay, every day I was talking about coming home and I played it for two or three hours, or whatever time I had free, and play it to the early hours. Luckily I don’t sleep as much as my wife. I’d stay up till after midnight and play it after she was asleep.

    ONLY 120 hrs? Pff. Guess it's a no-buy for me.

    I get more and more cautious of things like these. I'm worried it's going to be like The Witcher was advertised as, but then reportedly turned into - the same quest, over and over.

    There cannot be 120 hours of varied enough gameplay in one game. Maybe about 60 or so, but even then it get's repetitive.

      Depends on what you find fun, I suppose -- I put 118 hours into Final Fantasy X and still wanted more. Comparable numbers for VII and VIII, and also Ogre Battle 64. I suppose from that list it's been awhile since I've found a game like that..

    Them boys from Bioware must be pornstars, cause that is one hell of a package!

    note: Yes, I don't have my own ideas.

    i'm not saying this game won't be lengthy.

    however, mass effect was nowhere near as long as they claimed it was.

    As long as it's longer than 10-12 hours, I'd say BioWare is doing SOMETHING right. That seems to be standard campaign length for games these days.
