You think you are at the right place to ask for something long and hard?

It depends.

if you have the compulsive need to loot everything, it will take you a bit over 200 hours to complete it
Haven't played much since Starfield came out, but my SP save is around 58-60 hours played and I'm still in Act 1

If you're doing all the quests + playing on Tactician then this game will easily go above&beyond 120 hours

Difficulty is questionable, really depends on how you play and how much experience you have: I find the game easy, but other people find the game quite hard.

From 12 to 120 hours, with 60 on average in co-op.
The difficulty depends on how much certain elements, such as dual-wielding hand crossbows, are used. It might be challenging if you are not familiar with D&D 5e and Larian combat design (it is probably an ambush).

Long and hard, just how we like it.

Its a decent amount of time, I'd say about 60 hours on average if you're going at a decent pace? It's very replayable too, able to find new things just by doing something slightly different. Had an entirely new interaction in act 2 just by killing something else

Game is easily 80+ hours unless you're speed-running or skipping huge chunks of exploration and story. It's a long game by any measure, anyone that claims otherwise is lying.

Difficulty is subjective, how familiar to Crpgs and D&D are you? If this is your first, will probably be difficult even on Balanced. Veterans and min-maxers around here tend to complain that Tactician's way too easy.

Tactician , all quests , read every book , mid act2 , 50hrs. So I think 120 is a little bit of a stretch. Maybe if you just run around enjoying architecture or whatever.

If you are thinking of playing MP with your friend, play for the fun. To play as a serious game, create your own campaign to play solo.

It's absolutely long enough but whether it's hard enough depends on how experienced you are with D&D 5e.

I single handily stomped every boss encounter on tactician like bugs.

If you know how to make a build you are in God Mode , else you may struggle

You should consider EVE Online which surely fulfill your demands in being long and hard...

average is about 60-90 hours for one playthrough, single player, depends on difficulty level and number of side quests you do

co-op is hard to estimate, it depends on your interaction with buddy, but it would certainly be longer

you get 3 levels of difficulty to pick from, the options are good despite some vocal minorities complaining, especially on first playthrough (you can also change it in game any time)
