I still would've liked it if it was a longer game(not sure if the witcher 1 is longer if you take away all fetch quests honestly...) But a closed narrative with a few open world elements doesn't lend itself for a grandious 100 hour playtime such as Fallout(which like oblivion suffers from the copy desease)
But some kind of difficult dungeon at act 3 would've been very nice....(a crypt of sort with some very strong monsters ,unique of course)
I think I ended around (well lets see)
Roughly I played
Tuesday 6 hours
Weds 13 hours
Thursday 13 hours
Friday 12 hours
Saturday 8 hours
(this would be low end Im guessing)
so thats roughly 52 hours from start to finish, skipping job postings in Chapters 2 and 3. (and playing prologe and chapter 1 entirely and portion of 2 on easy).
I can say I have started a new game on normal (I dont see how you get through prologe on hard yet, maybe next game) and switched to hard after I escaped and im already taking even longer as combat are longer to complete.
hmmm maybe I should keep a accurate count of time this time! :)
heh and yeah, I went Vernon game one, this game I freed Aryan and going to side with scoitel and see how that plays out and maybe make some different choices with Hemselt, Dethmold, and King Rav, we will see :).
