Well, I don't know about the Swedish version, but the rating was 95% in PC Gamer France.
That was the best I've seen in years too.
Their conclusion was, to translate roughly: "Old-school gameplay with a fast rythm and a foregrounding of the story, this title mixes together the best of what Bioware has done in the last few years. The intensity of a Baldur's Gate and the depth of a good book series, what more could you ask for?" Sounds promising, right?

I don't think this has been posted yet. I got my subscription copy of PC Gamer this morning and it has a cover story and review of DA:O in it:
'Verdict
A truly astonishing game. Vast, vivid and microscopically detailed. Dragon Age is the RPG of the decade
94%'

It's got me pretty excited all over again!

The only quote I could find about the length:
'But coming out the other end of an epic 80 hours first playthrough, I leave with memories that feel like more than simple events in a game.'
Even longer than what we've heard before.
The main negative they mention is the difficulty levels. The reviewer says he had to play through some parts on easy and even then there were some incredibly tough battles.
6 November can't get here fast enough.
'But coming out the other end of an epic 80 hours first playthrough, I leave with memories that feel like more than simple events in a game.'
I could honestly not agree more.
80 hours is not nearly enoughBut that description makes my little heart skip beats in pure joy

Yeah but remember the reviewer probably had a deadline so didn't do all the quests and exploration.
*nod* I'm still holding DA to that 110-hour mark at the very least![]()
I wish I could describe how excited I am for this game. It's like the Holy Grail of gaming. It's like... civilisation reaching the stars...
To say something which could easily be misconstrued and interpreted in the wrong way, the wait is like... sadistic foreplay when making loveIt's being so close, and yet so far. It's begging for the climax which is moments away, but too far to grasp. It's the purest, most divine sense of love
It's ecstasy

LOL, I can see you enjoying many hours of DA themed roleplay...i bet you've got a bunch of "characters" generated already! My girlfriend is overseas for 2months so i guess this is just going to have to be my replacement! :-D
So far no news about it being delayed that would be terrible.

Then there's the unprecedented two-year plan for DLC releases which will extend Origins' lifespan (and, no doubt, help pay for its epic development).
