Wait, to make things more general that should be

 

Game length = r * (N - Y)

 

where N is what they were originally aiming for in hours. N>0. In general I think r>0 and Y could be positive or negative.

 

Oh yeah, I should probably add that Y<N.

Thanks. I've updated it.

 

Keep the data coming. As for the bell curve, not really I guess. The end points are skewed, but I guess they're "binned" unfairly.

I voted 35-40, by the way. I figured that it would be around 40, but I opted to err on the side of caution.

The only "anamoly" is the 0-10. Any "+" scores are ignored, since their range is infinite.

 

Regardless, it's a very good bell curve, particularly for how small the sample size is.

And I 35-40.

20-25. I have a feeling you'll get more hours out of replaying with different characters and companions, rather than going through the main quest.
