It's short but the main story isn't even why I love the game so much. All of the side missions and new weapons keep me entertained. Although I haven't watched it, apparently some guy beat the game in like 35 minutes.

The main story is short, but i spent about 150 hours playing the game overall and this is without the expansions. So i would say that the game is far from short.

The main story can be beaten in like 20 hours, but if do you all the side quests it can take you over 100 hours to do.

The main story is quite short, but it was still a solid storyline. If they just fleshed it out a little more (without having to rely on DLC) then the game would have been that much better. It's still an awesome game and the side quests were hella fun, but I think the main story should take the majority of the game.

Definitely one of my favorites from last year, but I just wish it would have lasted a bit longer. The DLC is nice (I have the 360 version), but they add up and can cost a fortune.

Hot yes, short? Nooo, heh. You dont really buy an rpg solely for the main story (imo), but for the (hopefully) great sidequests. Im just now approaching the 120 hour mark, and still have quite a few things left to do.

The game took me ages (90 hours). I made sure I didn't do all the main missions but got up my level and skills first

You getting the GoTY Edition? I kind of want it just for the DLC (already bought one of them on Xbox Live), so I was going to sell my copy now before its value decreases anymore. Rather get like 20-30 bucks for the game on Ebay and then pay the remainder for the GoTY one. Probably save me some as opposed to buying the DLC individually. Is that what you're doing too if you're getting it?

the game main highlight is not acctuay the main story quests, I just ****ed around for over 40 or so hours before i even tried finishing the remaining last quests. Its just like Oblivion, the storyline takes like 10 or so hours to beat but so many people have put in hundreds of hours in the game

Yeah, I beat the Main story in about 11 hours first play. But I've in total sunk close to 600 hours into the game and still haven't been everywhere in it. It will end up being my most played game ever.

the regular game took me more than 50 hours , without exploring everything and doing all side quest so it definitely not short
