It's nice to actually play a long game every once in a while. I certainly dislike the idea of spending 60 bucks on a game, only to have an eight hour story line to finish and nothing to do on the side.
The main quest line itself isn't that long, I ran through it with a second character and ended up with just under 23 and a half hours of game play. My main file had much more time invested in it, but if you skip all the side quests and DLC, you can finish the game in a single day, with 30 minutes left for eating and using the bathroom and such.
I'll be sure to watch out. I ran into a red-headed doctor not to long ago, maybe I should drag her along for use as a distraction.
