i don't know about dragon age, but i have borderlands and it has taken a lot of my time. i didn't even stop to train or anything and i just started playthrough 2, but i have died so much from being underleveled that it's taken me forever to beat. something nice to consider is the fact that borderlands is hackable. for example, my brother creates custom insanely strong guns using his computer, then brings them to the game. the only bad thing i've seen about hacking is that if you do it too much, your game might get corrupted (it's never happened to me). so if your a total h4x0r, get borderlands.
