Figure about 20 to 40 hours to finish the game depending upon how much you reload. The game can be done in much less time if you know exactly what you are doing and avoid encounters.

Most of the side quests lead to treasure or equipment that you can use. It will mean about half of your experience. You might as well explore.

I think I had 60 or more hours in my first play through, but I did every quest I could find.

I'm on my eighth time through and my best time doing all quests is around 12 hrs. Once you know where things are you can fly! Oh I definitly save and reload to get the best items from chests , barrels, and dropped sacks !! It would be wrong to open a chest to find a dead fish! instead of a mithral sword etc.

The first time I finished the game in about 12 hours. I reckon you can finish the game in 2-3 hours, but you'd need to know where the stuff lies etc. I have a lot of RPG history though... Ultima / Arena Chronicles ( great game ) and Eye of the Beholder ( even greater game, perhaps the greatest RPG ever )
