how many hours is this?

[willakadirk1]

never played this. love old school rpgs

[Queegon]

If you read everything and scour the world, easily 50+

[Yemeth]

Depends.20--50 depending on how much content you explore and really depends on your reading skills :p

[Yemeth]

A high wisdom playthrough with in-depth digestion of the story can easy go above 50 hrs

Aye.Your stats mainly Wisom,intelligence and Charisma influences how much more dialogue you get and xp bonuses and stuff

[Ray tracing is faster]

It's always between 40 and 50 hours for me.

You can play as a Fighter, Thief, or Mage. You start as a Fighter, you have to learn Thief or Mage skills later on from special characters. There is not much variation for each of those three classes however. Like Yemeth said, INT, WIS, and CHA greatly impact dialogue, although you cannot play as a lackwit (can't reduce any attribute score below 9).

You can switch between classes during the course of the game but for first time playthrough,going single class is better

Many hours. I'm already 40 deep and it seems I'm nowhere near the end.

[Jedi21x]

Took months for me to finish it.. Then reading a guide made me realize there was still a lot more! Huge, fantastic game and easily deserves its fame as top RPG ever.

[Battlekruse]

Its took many months for me too and I think I spent over 100+ hours.

[Stoibs]

My math might be a little off, but didn't this release about 72hrs ago?
The idea of someone here having already put 40hrs in frightens me a little, and makes me wish I had this much free time to tackle my ever increasing backlogs with :O

[GAME GOD FLUENT]

@Stoibs, I've been playing for over a week. I received an early copy. That is why I already have 40 hours with it. :D

[Stoibs]

Ah, fair enough.
Was envisioning a red eyed, sleep and fluid deprived addict for a second there :P

[GAME GOD FLUENT]

Well, I make sure to stay well-hydrated for longer sessions, and suggest you all do the same, too! Don't forget to eat as well. :P

And as for tackling the backlog, I can relate. But I implore you to move this to about spot #1 ASAP! It's a fantastic game with a very interesting world to explore. Loving it so far! :)
