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.

Topic reopened. I split the ADD discussion from it, which can now be found in WoT.

You forgot to close your tags :(

That's a nice little bell-curve you guys have going.

Fixed!

I voted 30-35 if your collecting data.

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

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.

I'll update my Excel sheet.

Thanks.  I've updated it.

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.

I voted 196+

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.

Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story.
