Sharkey says: For anyone that's been holding out, congrats -- you just saved a ton of money. And if you're diving into Dragon Age for the first time, be prepared to set aside a good week of your life. The core game alone, with all of its side quests included, can take up to 50 hours. Add in all the content packs and the expansion, and your loved ones might end up filing a missing persons complaint. And I mean that as a compliment.
