How long is the MSQ if I just beeline that? I really don't have time to dink about in this game any more than necessary.

Welcome to the madhouse!

Did a rare main quest mission last night , one place invaded another and I was in charge of .....standing up flags? The cannons were a blast though!

So I take it this game isn't something one just runs the MSQ in, and I should just kick back and enjoy the game.

I mainly want to run around RKOing people.

If only there was an entire thread of people saying the MSQ sucks and sandbox exploration is the entire appeal of the game you could have avoided this.

Or extensive YouTube coverage of omg 50 hours in and haven't left a mile outside of starting town

I just hit 139 hours, and barely just left Pailune (2nd zone). I still have a lot to do in the first 2 zones but not sure what unlocks the remaining side quests. Still have a bit of the map to explore too in Pailune.

I am still enjoying the game, just wish I had more time to play (playoff hockey taking some time from gaming).

I can't wait for the next patch to come out, looks pretty nice.

139 hours, goddamn. I'll give it a try for a couple days but there are a lot of other things I need to get to on my vacation week and it sounds like it'd be better left for later when I have less going on.

Going straight for the wrestling moves of course.

I put a little over 50 hours in and am shelving it for now because I don’t have time for it right now. I really really want to go full degenerate and lose myself in the game. Alas life is a mother fucker, cancer in particular can go fuck itself.

Lightweight. Power through it!

Just kidding. Good luck and best wishes.

Figured out how to rephrase my question and maybe not have anybody jump down my throat this time!

What is the rough minimum runtime of this game, if I were to generally go briskly through it and not go out of my way too much to do all the extra stuff, just doing the fun stuff / things that are absolutely worth doing? How much time would it take to just get a solid experience out of it without sticking around too long or doing everything? Just a minimum playthrough while doing everything that's must-see. We talking 40 hours? 70 hours? 100 hours?

On the Pro, I'm finding Quality to maintain a pretty decent framerate if 120 Hz is turned on. The sharpness (from PSSR) is very nice too. I might actually be able to play this on Quality as a result. The framerate drawback in Quality isn't as noticeable as it'd be in a 30 FPS game (I think it's probably around 45, if I had to guess), while the quality drawback in Performance is more noticeable. Both are good in different ways, mostly leaving it on Quality though.

I wish more Pro games would just give us one omni-setting that has the best of everything to max out the Pro. I think Stellar Blade and Hogwarts Legacy both have one. Most of the time it's still a choice, unfortunately.

Now I haven’t finished the game yet, so take this for what it’s worth, but I would estimate that you’re looking to around 60 to 100 hours or so. The range is large because some optional content can be time consuming like taking care of the camp, or the witches quest chains…while optional both provide significant power boost and features.
