is ME1 long?
" @marlow83 said:Some of the side quest stuff carries over though which is really cool. Just making you aware you might be missing out some little things." Well, if you ignore the side-stuff completely, you can finish the core game in about 8 hours "alright thanks, I shouldn't do much side stuff because I want to go play ME2 asap "
There's not much to be gained by playing ME1 as quickly as possible before playing ME2. The main story decisions are satisfactorily predetermined for you in ME2 if you haven't played ME1. If you take your time with ME1 (20 plus hours) and do a lot, there are a ton of little nods for you to enjoy in ME2 in addition to the main story stuff.
" It took me around 50 hours on my first playthrough. "Were you just standing around jerking off to Tali? It took me 28 hours to finish with all the side quest finished except the Paragon one.
@discost3w:
If you just go through the main story quest and not do much of the side quest or just farting around and play it on Normal or Easy then you can easily finish the game in about 10-12. hours.
As people have said, you can finish it in under 10 hours if you power through but spending 15-20 will get you most of the neat stuff.
" @blaze503 said:I thought it was all awesome as well and quite franky, I also had a better time with ME1 than with ME2." yes but it is all awesome. And you could skip all the side stuff and critical path it but you will get a reduced experience so i don't advise it. "All the side stuff is pretty boring, to be honest, they have about three maps for the side quests and just re-use them for every one. Play anything but an infiltrator, and you'll complete it in no time; on my second playthrough I played a vanguard and completed the main quest plus every side quest in just over 20 hours. "
