Correction: The game is 100 hours long if you plan on doing all the quests, not "everything". There is a huge fucking world filled with things to do other than completing quests.
And on how good and motivating it will turn out! I call myself a completionist myself as well - but only if the game motivates me enough, even after dozens of hours. And I obviously don't only mean the main story and major side quests but also the door opening and chest looting...What you get out of it depends on what you want to do with what we've put into it.
It will likely take me around 200+ hours for my first complete playthrough.
People ask me at events how long the game is and I always say "Well, what are you going to do?" Different people play at different speeds. Some people do the basic critical path (the core storyline) and finish and are done. Some people do a few of the side quests as well. Some people don't want to miss a thing and do every side quest they can. Some people listen to the VO and move on. Some people take more time and read things as well. Some people barely use the in game systems (crafting, inventory, journal, etc) other people micromanage and spend a lot of time. Some people (like me) play the game on "easy" difficulty because they care about the story more than combat, so spend less time in fights than someone on a higher difficulty.
For me, I am what is considered a completionist. If there is a door to be opened, a chest to be looted, a side quest to do, reagents to collect, ect I'se gots to does it. I expect to spend about 200 hours (give or take a few depending on how much playtime I get on it before we launch). Otehr people will spend less, sme will spend more.

This. I'm a completionist myself (most of the time), so it's bad news for me I guess...although the amount of time I'll spend with the game also depends on how good it will actually be, of course. Somehow I always have this feeling that the monster hunts might get little boring after a while.With all due respect, this seems like a ridiculous amount of time to spend with a game in one run. (...) I'm not saying I don't believe there's that much content in the game, but that there's a point of fatigue experienced by every gamer, and if you can spend that much time in one game without the compulsion of finishing it....holy shit.
