BioWare has estimated the Critical Path should take approximately 15-20 hours to complete, whereas the rest of the content in the game can require up to 100 hours. How long do you believe it will take for you to complete the game, whether you happen to be a completionist or selectively choose which content you'd like to finish?
Considering I tend to take my time with these kinds of games, I'm expecting I'll easily go over 100+ hours as I intend to find and complete everything on my first playthrough.

Probably 40 - 60 hours first time through. I think i landed on 50 with Inquisition, and i skipped a lot of side content late in the game. A full run through Inquisition now with DLC is usually around 80 hours on Nightmare.

A full run through Inquisition now with DLC is usually around 80 hours on Nightmare. I must be slow. I finished everything in DAI after about 120 hours with just the base game. It probably took me around the same amount of time to complete it on my second playthrough with DLC included, as I knew where everything was. |

No option for play for two hours, get bored, and go out for a run?
In all seriousness, will be looking at something close to a 100 hours. Will be doing every single effing sidequest I can find.

40-60 hours. It took me about 25 hours to do everything in each game in the original trilogy when I played through again over the holidays, so I'm thinking it'll take me about double that for Andromeda (based on all the comments about how it's "the largest ME game we've ever made"), + 20% for a first playthrough.
Sinking 100+ hours into a single playthrough of any game, regardless of it's size, would frustrate me to no end. The only time I've ever come close to that was a heavily modded Skyrim playthrough, and at the 72 hour mark I decided I'd had enough.

When I'm done, there won't be a stone left unturned. So, 100+. Oh Andromeda, what mysteries do you have for us?  |

Skipping non-critical stuff makes each game considerably shorter. I'm pretty certain people have completed speed runs of ME1 within 10 hours or so. |

I usually don't 100% on the first run but I do spend considerable time in each zone until I start to get bored of the environment. I love to explore all the nooks though, as well as talking to everyone I can possibly talk to, completing as many quests that interest me. I think I'll get roughly 60-90 hours out of my first run.

Do you have a source because the last time I checked BioWare was doing everything in their power to not give a time estimate on the game? Anyways I suspect it will take at least 100 hours for me on my first PT. |

Well over 100 hours for me.
I always seem to vastly exceed the largest estimates game developers put out for how long they think it will take people to finish their content. I see no reason to believe MEA will be any different.

I love to play every quest on first playthrought BUT since I always play by myself (except some info about my romance) I can miss some content. So maybe 80 hours.

Some side missions can take over an hour by themselves, because even if you tried to bee-line everything, traveling with the Mako eats up a lot of time already. Then there's delving through the entire dialogue which trigger yet more side missions, collection quests etc.. |

Or maybe im just better than you Or you're lying/not talking about a true 100% run. Some of the quickest 100% runs of ME1 clock in at like 20~ something hours. So you're telling me you completed 16 Main Quest lines and 42 Side Quest lines (including the 15 Matriarch writings, 17 Turian Emblems, 23 rare earth/10 gases/ 25 heavy metals and 22 light metals, 10 medallions, 3 ID tags and 10 Prothean discs) in 11 hours when several of the main quests alone take roughly an hour in just travel time. Yeah no... |
