How long ( in hours) is the main story in Dragon Age: Origins? What about Mass Effect?

I'm planing on getting them but I dont wanna spend a lot of money on a friggin 10 hour game with no multiplayer -cough- Alan Wake -cough-, so i just wanted to know.How long ( in hours) is the main story in Dragon Age: Origins? What about Mass Effect?
I've never played Dragon Age, I managed to get 35 hours out of Mass Effect 1 and 43 hours out of Mass Effect 2. I'm playing it all over again as a bad guy instead of a good guy, which will change up the story. Then I'm going to play it a third time as a chick and that will change it up even more. So you will get about 75 hours If you play both games of Mass Effect in a row. And 225 hours if you play it three times though. Also look into Fallout 3. Managed to get 250 hours of of that in one play through. Thing is about Fallout 3 is that it has choice. You be good or evil, and it will have large effects on the game play. For example, There's a city that has a nuke in it. You can choose to save the town, or rig the bomb to explode killing everybody. You could also get Oblivion. Got about 125 hours out of that game completing everything. So If you want a long game with an ok story get Fallout 3. If you want a shorter game with an amazing freaking story that completely changes the game depending on what you choose go with Mass Effect. Also the choices you make in the first game will carry into the second game, and the choices you make in the first and second game will carry into the third game which will have multiple ending depending on the choices you made in the first and second game.How long ( in hours) is the main story in Dragon Age: Origins?

Dragon Age Origins is a pretty long game, even longer with Awakening. I personally played it twice, just because the story was long and interesting with many story-altering decisions.



I've personally gotten about 200+ hours from it. Also, Ive played the games Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, both are exceptional games with a strong, long, and immersive story. You can also wait for another month and get Fallout New Vegas. All of these games are well worth the money and have plenty of expansions added to them a while after their release.



From IGN: "The plot of Dragon Age is extremely rich with details that unfold over dozens of hours of play."How long ( in hours) is the main story in Dragon Age: Origins? What about Mass Effect?
Dragon age is 40+ hours long. It depends on how much time you put in to doing side quests, talking to NPCs, and your party. It can easily take you 60 hours or more if you are thorough. There's also a lot of replayability because you can make so many different choices in the game and there are six different starting origins. I've played through about 3 times now and discover new things each time.



I have never played mass effect, I do know it is shorter than dragon age because it has more cinematics.
