I would only ask because I can't find any reviews at the moment and I don't have a ton of time to play this game in the next couple of weeks. I'm planning on picking it up tomorrow if I can burn through the story in 10-15 hours and do side missions later.

From what I've heard it's around 60 - 80 hours, but I'm not sure. If you speed through it I'm sure it's less though.

I read somewhere that the fastest any of the playtesters got through the game was around twelve hours and that was skipping every cutscene, unnecessary dialogue, side mission, and with every cheat the developers could put in on. So, most likely for us normal players the story will easily be 20+ hours long.

Bioware is off to a good start with the DLC with the Warden's Keep coming out immediately at launch. I can only hope that things go better this time around than with the "ongoing support" for Mass Effect.

Dave said he skipped like every single sidequest there was, and it still took him around 50 hours to beat one playthrough. So, actually doing sidequests like most people do as well, Id imagine 60-80 hours give or take some. Depending on how much you pause and use dialogue will matter a lot for that timing as well.

Ouch. I might have to hold off for a while. Thanks everybody.

about 50 hours for main story and no side quest but you can easily get around 80 hours + from the game.

" @bofooq: Agreed, completely.  With RPGs, I'm a perfectionist, so I'll be tackling the 70+ hour campaign multiple times as different races and classes.  But yeah, hopefully there is no level cap.  Or, if there is, it's extremely high. "
