How many hours did it take you to ...

[Nico Snow]

How long did it take you to finish the game? I did it in 230 hours the first time and just under 200 hours the second. I really like BG3 and will run it again when the mod world improves.
I see guys saying they completed it in 50 hours and I"m like "Riiiight" there is no possible way you could truly play the game AND finish it in that short of a time.
MAYBE if you skip all the side quests and run right through to the end but even then I think you would be too low of a level to win the big bad fights.
So honestly ... how long did the run last for you?

200 hours? I finished a pretty complete playthrough in just under 110. I can see doing 50 hours easily if you stick to the story quests.

I'm at 695 hours, and I haven't reached the Underdark yet in the release version.

Again ... if you pass up all the content don"t you think your level would inhibit winning the fights? I am assuming balanced difficulty.

I think the speedrun record is under 3:00 at this point.

I didn't pass up most of the content, I completed most of the content. From what I can find there's only a handful of quests I missed, certainly not 90+ hours worth.

First full playthrough with 2 friends, barely any NPC companion questlines, took us 130ish hours. We explored and did whatever we could find, read notes and journals, etc, but still missed plenty. No guides or walkthroughs, just a natural playthrough where we tried to do everything we could.

That said, I'm also playing with 3 different friends in a different playthrough, and we are blazing through it compared to my first group. No one wants to read notes, we are skipping areas and our group is just more combat focused and powerful. Heck, we keep splitting up and exploring different sections of the city, even. Definitely well under 100 hours though and we are easily ready for the finale.

140 ish

i am recuperating my lost time by having it run 24/7 and periodically reload to allow for patches and changes. im early act three, but have sunk over 700 hours, simply because i wanted my clock to recognise how much time i would have given it if i had jumped into early access.

still need multiple play throughs, once i know what steps i need to do for certain things.

200 hours, but mostly because I change characcters often after reaching act 3 so I never finish the game. I only finish the run after my 4th character. Originally plan to finish my oathbreaker arthas, but jaheira quest is bugged on that one so I scrapped that campaign.

If I actually finish my first character should be around 80 hours.

>.<

Counting up the total time played between multiple campaigns is not the same as the time needed to complete a single campaign. If you do that then yeah I'm at almost 300 hours played between five campaigns.

I just soloed the game on tactition as a lone wolf murder hobo bard and it took me maybe 60-70hrs but it’s my 6th playthrough so I knew exactly what to do .

The first time maybe 150 or so

[Råb!d]

...decide that I no longer want to play this game, or any other game from Larian? About 50.

[Cthulhu]

300 hours, 60% act 2, balanced first play first tb game, it is becoming too easy but i really like tha care on details, not only graphical, btw 30% of that time, well, so around 100 hours was me pickpocketing npcs loll hahahahahaha
