Everything you need to know about how long it takes to beat Dragon Age: The Veilguard, including average story completion time, and more.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard takes around 30 to 40 hours to complete. This completion time includes everything the main story has to offer, as well as a fair bit of side content. However, as is the case with most action RPGs akin to Dragon Age, the completion time can wildly vary among players, depending on various key factors.
The primary factors that affect a game’s run-time are – difficulty preset, side-quests, and main story choices. For instance, Dragon’s Dogma 2, another action RPG, can take about 35 hours to complete. However, if you go for the Platinum trophy and aim to complete everything the game has to offer, it can take you well beyond 100 hours.
Given the wealth of content Dragon Age: The Veilguard has to offer, it can also take quite a lot of time, especially for a completionist playthrough. Here’s everything you need to know about Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s completion time.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Completion Time
For an average playthrough, Dragon Age: The Veilguard takes about 30-40 hours. This isn’t surprising considering The Veilguard isn’t an open-world akin to Dragon Age: Inquisition. Instead, it’s much more linear, with a few open-ended areas, akin to God of War (2018) and Ragnarok. Furthermore, The Veilguard highly encourages replayability, both via its choice-and-consequences-based story and also the Class-based gameplay system.
On top of that, there are plenty of companion and general side quests across the world of Thedas. As such, even if you’re playing the game at a brisk pace, you will have spent at least 30-35 hours in the game before you’re greeted with the credits.
As for the players who plan to go for the completionist route, they’re looking at 60-80 hours of playtime. Additionally, if you plan to grab all the achievements or trophies in the game, that will add 20-30 more hours. While a good majority of the trophies are unlocked in a single playthrough, some do require multiple playthroughs. As such, that coveted Platinum trophy is going to require quite a lot of time investment.
How Many Trophies/ Achievements Are There in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a total of 54 trophies/achievements. Most of the achievements are related to the main story, with a few being tied to companion questlines. However, certain trophies necessitate completing specific milestones, like upgrading a weapon to its maximum proficiency or unlocking a certain amount of skills for the Rook.
