Dragon Age 3: Inquisition May Be Over 80 Hours, Solas Romance Options Revealed

Bioware writer Patrick Weekes gave fans a ballpark figure to figure out how long they would be playing Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.

And that's one playthrough done, start to finish, full game, no cheats. About 80 hours and by NO MEANS completionist.

He finished one playthrough of the game himself. Without cheating or trying to complete everything, it took him 80 hours to finish the game.

Will note: people who prefer shorter games could do less than I did. NOT 80 hrs minimum. Still, LOT of game to play if you want. 🙂

Patrick did add that gamers who do not have the luxury of time could finish the game under that time, although he did not share another number.  Based on his statements, 80 hours may be the amount of time most players can expect to finish the game.

Bioware’s Dragon Age executive producer shared another, less thrilling, piece of information regarding Inquisition. The solemn elven apostate Solas will be a romance option, but only if you are a female elf. Mark describes this as a trait that will make a lot of sense in light of the story.

Solas is the first character in the series to exclusively be an elf romance option. He is also one of two romance options with a race limitation.

Bioware has proven themselves to be LGBTQ friendly, so it should be interesting to find out how they went about writing these race exclusive characters.

Dragon Age: Inquisition will be released on October 7th for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
