i just beat fallout 3 this weekend, in 8 freaking hours! i didnt do any sidequests, i was wondering how long it takes to finnish them all, or how long has anybody completed the game in, i also beat mass effect 2 in 14 hours, i always hear these games are supposed to last like hundreds of hours, but i always finnish them at this speed and i swear im not just plowing through them to get them over with XP

If you're not doing side quests, then you are essentially plowing through the game.  There's another thread here on how long it took people just to finally get to The Strip.  Some people, including myself, were in excess of 30 hours into the game when they finally got there.  Side quests are a LARGE part of these types of games.

are they really? im gonna go back and do them anyways, but 30 hours, people must do tons of side quests then
