Yeah, when I played DAI on release almost 10 years ago I was a bit disappointed. Felt MMO-like, lots of fetch quests, gathering of crafting materials, and mob killing. It just felt overly long and bloated. But I want to replay it ahead of Veilguard's release for story reasons, after 10 years I don't remember much of what happened in Inquisition, and I didn't play it's DLC packs the first time around, so I will be playing them for the first time now.
I've already found some good mods which will improve upon some of DAI's weak points and cut down on the grind, so I'm hoping for a faster and more enjoyable playthrough than my original 112 hour one this time around. Looking at How Long to Beat my original 112 hour playthrough was actually faster than the average player, the average completionist run for base game DAI is apparently 129 hours, the fact that I managed a completionist run in 112 hours on Nightmare difficulty is pretty cool. I don't know if I will even bother with Nightmare difficulty this time around, I only did it the first time for the Xbox achievement, and since I'm playing the Epic Store version this time and don't really care about Epic Store achievements, I'm not sure if it's worth adding to my playtime by going with Nightmare again.

People on How Long to Beat are slow as fuck.
I'm always significantly under the average. Completed DAI (got all achievements except the difficulty related ones since I played on normal difficulty) and all the DLCs in sub 100 hours.
Doesn't mean you were slow though.

I'm always above the average, mainly on RPG's. I just can't help myself, I have to search everything, loot everything, read everything, slowly take in each environment, train myself in different loadouts to where it is all muscle memory(in the early stages of my playthrough), and a full deep-dive in menu navigation (I hate it when I find out there was something I could do and wasn't doing it the whole time until the end of the game).
I treat almost every RPG as I would a fine steak, I take small bites, chew slowly and get every bit flavor, and at the end I sop up all the juices and spices still on the plate with my bread roll.
