Yah, I know people that completed TW1 in under 30 hours...it took like 3x + longer for me because I like reading, exploring and doing all the side quests.McGregg said:And BTW do you think that reviewers read items descriptions, books, look closely at them, enjoy landscapes etc ?I really doubt it. So looks like for me it will be at least +60hThe first play-through is always the longest.. so maybe the 10th playthrough will be like 24h for me Oh and if you skip dialogs and all QTEs, and sex scenes you can reduce the time to 10h :sarcasm mode:
That was a good post. Really had me for a second, and it made the impact all the stronger.All you panicky people, listen to this lady.DelightfulMcCoy said:Okay, I just spoke with Tom on the phone; he told me they actually got ideas from the speculative threads on the forum and implemented a lot of the suggestions last minute. They cut out half of the main story to be able to dazzle the players a week after release with the new content and it will only cost like $25. They can use the additional income for the console versions then. Those will even be split in three pieces each. And of course, to justify the stuff they cut out, they coughed up a big bunch of repetitive fed-ex quests, which they originally didn't want to use anymore, but they got the impression, that people weren't gonna be happy without them.Additionally, 15 of the 16 endings will presuppose the purchase of a little DLC, only a little file, manageable for any slow internet connection. This also means, that for your first playthrough, you will not have the option to make choices, but will run through a predefined path through the game. For this new feature, they managed to implement the Awesome Button(tm), so if you're feeling lazy, you can just mash that one to pieces and be done with the game in 15-17 hours, nice and easy.They did a bunch of other last minute changes, but they asked me not to reveal too much, because people might cancel their orders, if they knew every little detail in advance.Yeah.Oooor......we could just be so optimistic and believe, what the actual senior producer told us about the game. Your choice.
40 hours is what the developers original said, actually.Daymiena said:I'm gonna go ahead and say it will probably be around 40 hours to do everything. Developers tend to exaggerate.
