Hey man, I spent 116 hours. Took my time in some areas, and others I rushed a bit more. I spent time collecting shards because I felt they were significant, and that can take a while but it wasn't tedious. I didn't read all the lore/codexes of course, and some conversations I knew where it was headed I skipped, for example when I read subs faster than the dialogue was spoken by the actors.
I feel it was good value (Mexico store) compared to other games I've bought recently. Its like you do want to play it again sometime, which for me was the same with Orignis (I played Origins back to back 3 times, the third on Nightmare).
I think some of those hours are multiplayer, though not many.
Remember it also depends on what difficulty level you are on, and which areas you go to first, because some areas are naturally harder simply because you might be under-leveled. You can try them, because the loot is also around the level of the enemies there, but often it is better to go somewhere where combat is more managable and you fight faster/gain more xp quicker, and then return to the areas you found higher level mobs.
Advice: If you like a better progression of story, don't focus on doing main story stuff, you get a bit more context and better pacing if you do side-content. If I had rushed through the story I think it would have been a fair bit shorter and less enjoyable. The story will not progress unless you want it to, which I liked. So you can do whatever, and then go do the main missions when you feel like progressing it aka. tired of doing side content hehe.
Some of the side-content can be interesting though not always very rewarding.

Yes, the quest you are thinking of is in the Hinterlands.

Given that Inquisition is a direct sequel to DA2 in both plot and gameplay, I'm not sure how that works. It really has very little in common with Origins in either aspect.

I finished it yesterday. Took me 109 hours to do pretty much everything: main quest, kill all the dragons, do all the War Table missions, explore all the areas, although there were still a couple of side-quests unfinished (collect mosaic pieces and the like).

It is more of a sequel than DA2 was is my meaning, in that it manages to deliver a game that isn't cringe (hence I did not romance anyone in my playthrough) and full of carbon copied content like the dungeons. Yes, there are Dragon Age 2 references, and yes there are Dragon Age 2 lore and characters, but it doesn't define the game. These parts, the plot and everything could have been integrated as lore through just writers adding backstory and premise and that it was not established through DA2.
If you know nothing about DA2, it still isn't tough to go with the flow and still be fine. You get a lot of information by talking to NPCs and just playing.
If you know nothing about Dragon Age there will be quite a bit you miss out on in terms of jokes and references.
Some aspects though are just very basic medieval fantasy renamed for the universe which is easy to get.

It was my first attempt so I didn't know the area and while I was looking for a nice spot I got burned a lot After that it required only patience and the oldest trick in the book- abusing terrain

How important are the shards? I haven't been hunting for them since it seems something like feathers in AC. Do they add anything to story?

You need shards to open doors Spoiler: | at the Forbidden oasis.

There is a secret, with doors. And you need the shards to open the door. Many.. Many of them  |

Anyone found all 12 mosaic pieces in the Hinterlands? My OCD is killing me, i've scoured google, but it seems that no one can get past 10 pieces.

On shards:
Spoiler: | Note: On higher difficulties anything to add resistances versus various elements is welcome.
You don't need them all to get the first tier of character stat bonuses and resistance gear, I'd at least recommend that people get those for the higher difficulty playthroughs. Getting them all is a long haul gathering effort and you might be near the end of a big portion of the game's content before being able to collect all the bonuses these shards can provide. |

Thanks, but I've already checked it. From what little comparison of ingame locations I did and the research on the forums, the consensus is that the guide map doesn't list all of the pieces, and the ones that it does list are a bit off.

You are very naive. |
they already responded to accusations in FAQ. what else can they reveal? whatever they say people like you claim it's not true anyway. so it's kinda pointless.
