Have they mentioned the length or scale? I found that to be one of the most surprising aspects of the outer worlds. That was a relatively small and short game for genre. Is this similarly short? Looks like a great game nonetheless
IIRC, main+extras means the main story plus some sidequests, a more accurate metric to the content of the whole game would be completionist, which calculates aroud 39 hours
They've said before it's a fairly short and more focused RPG, I think someone from Obsidian last year said 12-14 hours if you rush through the story, but there are things to explore and side quests. And since then, they've now said "this is a large world" so that could have changed in the past year and a half of development.
Do a lot of people really rush through stories in RPGs like this though? I don't go completionist but I DO always try to do as much of the content as I can.
Not sure statistically but I know several people personally who just go straight through the main quest line, I don't think it's that unheard of but it is an odd way to play RPGs imo. I also know people who refuse to play without a guide that automates their experience to min-max their playthrough so thoroughly that they're practically not even playing the game, they do it so they can beat the game most efficiently in the least amount of time. Reviewers also tend to primarily go quickly though the main story.
