Dragon Age Inquisition Lasts More Than 100 Hours

While Executive Producer Mark Darrah clarified that there aren’t really 40 endings in Dragon Age Inquisition( as previously reported) but rather a few completely unique ones with further variations based on player choices, the third game in the fantasy RPG series developed by Bioware will still be absolutely massive. During a video interview recorded with Angry Joe at E3 2014, Producer Cameron Lee explained that players can expect to get more than 100 hours out of the game when considering the optional sidequests and collectibles, while 40-50 of them will be devoted to the storyline. This sounds about the same as The Witcher 3, in terms of longevity.

For the open world stuff, just getting lost in the world, [you can expect] a hundred hours, easily. In addition to that, there’s the Bioware storytelling; that’s like you know, 40-50 hours of narrative, meaty kind of stuff. There’s surely enough content to get lost and explore much. The narrative is in addition to that, so that’s a big, big game, it took us years to make it. I’ve had a ball making it!

Lee also gave specifics in regards to how many dragons will show in Dragon Age Inquisition (the first game in the series to actually allow players to target individual limbs of the mythical beasts for strategic purposes): around twenty.

I think we’ve got around twenty at the moment in the game. There could be more or less, that may change you know, but right now it’s about twenty and for the first time, you can actually target individual limbs of the dragons - you can knock down its legs and the dragon will fall over and clash

Dragon Age Inquisition is currently scheduled to release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360 on October 7th, the same day as Alien: Isolation, Driveclub, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and NBa2K15. Let’s hope that someone of these publishers delays its game for a few weeks, otherwise it’s going to be a bloodshed on the shelves, both real and virtual.
