Dragon Age Play Time

So I've never played Dragon Age, but am a huge RPG fan. With the new Ultimate Edition getting ready to come out, I definitely thought about picking it up since it includes all of the DLC with it.

BUT my question is, how long did it take you to complete the ORIGINAL story line without any of the DLC? I'm just trying to figure out whether or not to buy the Ultimate Edition, or to buy the original for a discounted price and then pick up the DLC as the need arises. If it's gonna take me 30 hours of gameplay before I even get to DLC content, I may just wait. So what did you find to be your average time to beat the main storyline?

If your playing on normal and do a good bit of side quests then i would say 50 hours at least without any DLC. Its pretty beefy game.

depends on how fast you progress skip all the sidequests my neighbor did it sub 30 hours

i dont understand though do you want to play just the dlc? since you said if it takes longer than 30 to get it i can only assume

Sorry if I was confusing. What I was trying to say was that if the original story line would take me 30+ hours, then I would wait to get the DLC until later, after I completed the main line. However, if it was like a 15 hour play through, I would go ahead and pick up the Ultimate to have the DLC ready when I want it. Does that make sense now? I feel like it doesn't but I don't know :?

at least 45 hours

I haven't heard about this edition with all the DLC packs, I'm getting it.

Took me 40 hours (no DLC)

It is a very long game, no dlc included but tbh you should really get the ultimate edition, it will save you money in the long run :)
