How long is it taking people to finish DL?

[razmanaz]

I'm about to play it the second time around but want to know from the people who have played it multiple times, how much quicker was the game the second time around.
I suppose I blew through 60 hours or so I would say as a rough estimate.

Lemme know

Ask GeorgeKeith. He's played it through 6 times already...or so he says.

[razmanaz]

I'm asking anyone and everyone ;)

[Shock]

Well, don't ask me. I stopped playing at Fargrove until it's fixed. I'm still not sure I want to continue playing it until they fix the spells. There are many that still don't work, which is ridiculous.

[razmanaz]

Haven't you finished the game yet at least once??

[Shock]

Hel l no. I'm not playing this broken piece of c r a p all the way through until the bugs and missing content is ironed out.

Very enjoyable game even before the 1.3 patch. It took me awhile to play through the game. I can't estimate time but I would say a bit longer than an "average" crpg but not super long like Baldur's Gate 2.

Well, I'm only just starting my 2nd (and possibly last) time through, but I'd say it took about 70-80 hours or so my first time. Of course, I took my time and really built up my character. I was level 61 when I finished.

So far in my second game, I've got about 6 hours into it and should be ready to enter Fargrove's Sewers in about another hour. I'm level 5 atm and need another 21,000 ADV points to get the stats where I want them before I go in.

Well since I have tested and played the game multiple times, here is my records: 1st time took me a full week, 2nd time about 5 days, 3rd time and on about 3.5 days but my record is 17 hours, last week. Everytime it gets shorter because you know what to do and were to go, only the characters realy change not the main quests.

Sheeeeeeot! All you people are crazy! :) How do you do it?

I bought the game the first day it came out and, bugs and all, I'm still playing -- and I'm just now fighting the boss "Nausoleum" (sp?)! Thing is, I would never have gotten this far without major help from the walk-thru.

Some of the puzzles in the Shadow Ruins were hard (to me), and Ulm was a beatch. And I'm having some troubles with the boss "Nausoleum", but oh well -- fight on.

Anyway, hats off to those who finished (and finished without the walk-thru)! :)

First time took about a week. Now it takes 2 to 3 days, of course what else does a retiree have to do?
