The game definitely seems to take a healthy amount of hours to beat, even if you’re just going for the mainline quests. Like we said, up to an estimated 40 hours to enjoy. Even if you are, you’re likely to be side-tracked and taken on a whimsical quest elsewhere to aid you in your progress. We’ve found that it’s easy to get taken away with the sheer amount of content and interactivity in this open world.

Discovering new spells, looting new gear – you name it. The amount of customization on display as well is definitely worth investing additional time into. We’re thinking about wand handles and brooms here!
