I can tell you that there are people who claim to have finished in 30+ hours. I don't know how much they skipped doing that however and I find it hard to believe anyone could do the game justice in 30+ hours on their first play thru.

I think most say something like 60-80 hours. I think my first play thru was around 120. I am a completionist and I do crafting and stuff like that.

I think I clocked in 50-60 hours my first playthrough. Though, I went in as blind as possible and did ♥♥♥♥ for myself. It’s a big game with a lot to do, you’ll get your money’s worth amigo :praisesun:

First playthrough was 132 hours, and I missed sooooo damn much while thinking i was being thorough

Second playthrough was around 110 and I think i did 95% of the quests, i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the hugging ladies quest just before the end (on purpose, her speech was scaring me) and didnt do the Dung Eaters quest (again, his weird ass speech when you meet him scared me so i killed him there and then)

How long to beat listed main story at 58H
Then again it's probably if you don't suck too much like me. I found my first murkwater cave at 24h because i suck xD
So for me after I finally resorted to keep a walkthrough handy I can estimate additional 100h or so

i did ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING on my 1st playthrough and took around 150-160 hours, but then again if u know where to go and rush everything u can get it done in about 50hs i guess

1st playthrough was around 120+ hours (with all major bosses), went in blind doing stuff mostly solo and missed some content aswell
in ng+ i used some guides to see missed content which was around 20 hours of stuff to get.

Depends on which level you attempt to complete the game I was going for pretty much 100% of all dungeons and content I could get and I didn't use guides till I felt I had gone through them, I looked to see what I might have missed, took me about 200 hours.
Probably cut that down a lot if you don't do that but I like to keep it fairly spoiler free till I feel I'm done, or if I am struggling to find something I feel I should have lol the 1 thing I remember looking up earlier was where to get +1 and +2 upgrade unlocks cuz I had 3-6 available at the merchant but never found 1 and 2 xD

I think I was about 120 hours with my first character before I got my first ending, but I explored almost everything except one of the main underground areas and did every optional dungeon I could find

Easily 100+ if you explore a lot. My first playthrough was +-180 hours.

Depends on how you play the game, if you explore a LOT then you can easily get 100+ hours. It took 80-90 hours for me to beat the game in my first run

It depends how thorough you wish to be. It took me +300 hours but that was including killing all bosses/mini-bosses, doing all storylines to be able to view all endings and obtaining every single piece of gear you can get except ones that are mutually exclusive during a single playthrough.
Also I tend to use the "slow and steady wins the race" approach when I play games for the first time.

My first play thru I played blind until I left an area. Then I would check a wiki and discover how much stuff I had missed. I would then either go back and do those things or make a mental note (I'm pretty mental) to go back later.

The game is huge. There are caves and catecombs and dungeons everywhere.

90 hours for my first playthrough, which was blind.

200-300 hours for my first playthrough. I did every boss and collected every item except for some quest reward ones that I accidentally locked myself out of. I was also pretty bad at souls games when I started. I did it half blind. Explored pretty much everything, then looked up what I missed and got it before NG+.

You can probably finish the game in 10s of hours if you do only the required bosses, but you can easily spend over 200 hours on a completionist run.
