Easily. Probably longer if you're determined to do all, or nearly all, of the sidequests. There goes two full weeks of my life :D

We are happy to announce that BioWare will be releasing the Character Creator from Dragon Age: Origins on the 13th of October. This will give you 3 weeks to play around and get your Player Character just right before launch of the game on November 3rd – 6th.
What we have managed to do is get the awesome BioWare dev dudes/dudettes to break off the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator from the main game so you can download it as a separate application to your PC. Once you have downloaded and installed the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator you will be able to “pre-create” characters for use in the PC version at launch.
The Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator will allow you to create numerous different characters before launch and experiment with the different classes, races, and create multiple faces for the 6 Origin stories and save them to your hard drive for safe keeping until the game is released.
As you may be aware we are extending the BioWare community with a new social community site for Dragon Age: Origins. The great news is when we launch the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator we will also be launching an open beta of the new social community site. You will be able to log into the new Social community site with your existing BioWare forums account name and password, and update it to the new social site account. Characters created with the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator can also be uploaded to your account from within the Character creator. Once logged in to the social site, one of the first things you will be able to do is use one of your uploaded characters as your social website avatar for your profile on the new social website forums (yes we got that in!!), exciting stuff! Stay tuned for more information on the social website from now through launch.

Rushed through 2 assignments I had due on monday and tuesday and managed to get to rage and played DAO. Game is great. Only played for 15/20 minutes. I love the mabari war hound, has great personality. I played the rogue and human noble. For talents/skills I picked poison making, dual wield specialization and dirty fighting. Kick some rat ass for some fun.
Only thing which I struggled a bit with was position the camera. Couldn't remember the controls of how to position it and didn't have time to check all options. I felt the game played better in the bg style view, didn't like the up close wasd controls and preferred the bg click and move style.
A complaint of mine was the wiring of the mouse at the convention by too tight not allow you to freely move the mouse, this impeded gameplay for me.
Definitely going to be playing a spoiled brat noble on 6 November. Can't wait.
lol I could not make it to rage lucky man lol.
Did not go to Rage, but from the demo there my friends were thoroughly unimpressed with Dragon Age.
I do not think this game is going to be anything like a revival of the Baldur's Gate era in CRPG's, more like a continual rehash of the Neverwinter Nights type feel / system. Which is okay I guess, but not what I was necessarily expecting myself.
Maybe the demo on display just sucked.
Will a demo be available before the games release?
What did they particularly dislike?? Felt much like BG than nwn for me. It has a lot more of those crucial bg elements like the party banter(nwn has very little of this).
BioWare doesn't really do demo's. Last one they put out was for BG 2 and that was months after the game. Developers have said no demo, they rather spend those resources on the game. The character creator is the closest to a demo you will get.
