Problems with loading times on new game DA:I

Hi

Just installed and wanted to play DA: I on my PC, but when i start a new game and have made the character it just keep staying on the loading screen for quite a long time. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes now. Just wondering if this might be related some of these other posts on here?

Trying changing it to fullscreen windowed mode aswell, but all that happens is the icon in the lower right hand corner just sits there and pulsates without anything else. Making me wish there was a loading bar of some sort to judge if there was a progress on the loading.

Hope someone can help or maybe let me know what this can be related to.
