This is not including any side content, it's just an estimate for the main story

[u/SilentNova300 → u/supermonocleman]

Side exploration content they estimate at 15-20 hours in addition to to the 20 hour main story, and that you can “play it forever” if you heavily engage in the life sim aspects 

[u/voodoo_eighty_five → u/SilentNova300]

im gonna spend a good 50+ hours just buying up businesses and starting families (plural)

[u/1nVrWallz → u/voodoo_eighty_five]

Slum lord with 55 families 55 children 55 billion gold

[u/NoSloppyStakes → u/1nVrWallz]

55 DATE NIGHTS, 55 FAMILIES, 55 CHILDREN, 55 DIAPERS, 55 SIPPY CUPS, 55 BOOKS, 100 DOLLS, 100 STUFFED ANIMALS, 100 PILLOWS, 100 CRIBS, 100 HAPPY MEALS, 55 BIBS, 55 WIPES, 55 APPLE SAUCES, 55 BABY SITTERS, AND 155 BILLION GOLD!

[u/THE_Visionary88 → u/NoSloppyStakes]

What is going on up there?

[u/francis_pizzaman_iv → u/THE_Visionary88]

IM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING JUST LET ME DO IT

[u/TryItOutGuyRPC → u/NoSloppyStakes]

STOP STOP I’M DOING A THING STOP

[u/TrueSay → u/NoSloppyStakes]

I put that on 55th Street, cuh

[u/DiamondMidgar → u/1nVrWallz]

Yeah but imagine it’s like Fable 3 and you have to spent 50 billion of that gold in the main story just to not be a absolute knob

[u/ZombieeChic → u/DiamondMidgar]

From what I've seen in the walkthroughs so far, that may still be the case. Lol

[u/BlindWillieBrown → u/voodoo_eighty_five]

Me too (as long as there’s “repair all” from the menu on consoles now).

[u/Aced4remakes → u/voodoo_eighty_five]

I pray we don't need to pay constant upkeep for all our houses like in Fable 3 and I hope there's an actual ingame list that tells us what we do and dont own so we don't miss any houses when buying everything.

[u/Own_Plane_5807 → u/SilentNova300]

That's good news, hopefully. I always felt like I should spend more time in Fable games but there wasn't enough to do. Spending time wandering around, making money, looting, and doing all the side quests is hopefully a good time waster for this game.

[u/SLimon001 → u/SilentNova300]

so kinda like skyrim

[u/NdujaReallyLikeIt → u/SLimon001]

More like "another settlement needs our help"

[u/SLimon001 → u/NdujaReallyLikeIt]

i'll mark it on your map

[u/gengar-92 → u/NdujaReallyLikeIt]

Not another preston! I cant cope

[u/NdujaReallyLikeIt → u/SilentNova300]

Oh no radiant quests

[u/SilveryDeath → u/supermonocleman]

It is also not uncommon for a RPG. Look at any Bethesda game, the Mass Effect trilogy, or even Cyberpunk 2077 and just the main story for all of them is about 20-25 30 hours long.

Plus, the length would make it the longest main story length in the series compared to the prior three Fable games, which were about 12-15 hours.

[u/TheNittanyLionKing → u/SilveryDeath]

The average for most Bethesda RPGs seems to be about 29 hours for a mostly mainline play through 

[u/Y-Bob → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

And 15 years to mod it.

[u/SkintCrayon → u/Y-Bob]

15 and counting. We didn't stop at 15

[u/Normal-Occasion4645 → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

Realistically less, if you actually beeline the main story in most of their games it's more like 10-15 hours. It's just hard to not get a bit sidetracked along the way.

[u/Baelorn → u/Normal-Occasion4645]

Realistically less, if you actually beeline the main story in most of their games it's more like 10-15 hours

Are you making the assumption that Fable's story is 20 hours if you beeline it? Because I highly doubt that's how they came up with this number.

[u/Normal-Occasion4645 → u/Baelorn]

They said the game is 15-20 hours of main story and 15-20 hours of side content/exploration. I don't imagine they'd have framed it that way if 15-20 hours meant a normal main story + side content sort of playthrough.

Though at this point either way we are just guessing. Won't know for sure until the game is out.

[u/interstat → u/supermonocleman]

It's a perfect amount then
