For instance, I just looked up Skyrim's main quest, Bing says it takes "about 30 hours." How do they figure this out? Do a bunch of devs and/or game testers do some speed runs, only focusing on the Main Quest?

That's a good way to figure, ghast, assuming you only focus on the Main Quest. My problem is I'm always straying!
But yeah, I guess "speed run" is a bad couple of words to use, because I've seen accounts in which gamers boast they've "beat" the Main Quest in Three hours or whatever. I am guessing that 30 hours includes a more relaxed pace, maybe some light use of fast-traveling via the carriage system, rather than FTing Oblivion-style. -------------------- |
