I spent twice that in the Divide....
Lonesome Road ftw.

I can believe it, but I also can believe I probably wouldn't.
I found one Let's play where some dude spent like 3 hours just staring at the scenery in the Soul Cairn. Literally staring at the tombstones and checking EVERYTHING to make sure it wasn't an alchemy ingredient. I shut it off out of sheer boredom and found someone more my playstyle: who focuses on the story and isn't so interested in scenery. The story-guy clocked in, sure enough, 5 hours. Given that he was probably focusing solely on the task at hand for the Let's Play (was done pretty formal) and he didn't stray to do side-quests, I'd say 8-10 under a more relaxed playthrough that's NOT being uploaded to youtube is a fair estimate for someone like myself.



HOW?

Lonesome Road was awesome in all sorts of ways, but length? It was intended to be mostly linear and might've been the shortest NV DLC.
Unless you're counting multiple playthroughs for the story, in which case you can multiply the length by 4.

Nope. I don't believe in replayablity. One character. I just loved the ambience. That being said, I spent maybe a quarter that in all the other areas, save for Old World Blues. While my least favorite DLC, it has the most to do and explore. I think I spent 20ish hours in that. Lemme just tell you - If you run the divide enough times, you can do it backwards and blindfolded.

Okay yeah lonesome road was pretty awesome...However I prefer Honest hearts

I ran it twice, second time to pick up unique items I missed the first go.
The second time I even discovered that yes, my Dead-is-dead character CAN survive a hit from a Divide Deathclaw on Very hard difficulty if I have Med-X on.
I have never been more mad as I was then. I just thought "you [censored] you scared the [censored] outta me" and downed every drug I had and proceeded to kill him. It even spawned at a point where Marked Men would usually spawn....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......... That svcks dude.

Nah I lived, but like I said...

I mean I had -JUST- completed Lonesome Road, the final DLC with my dead-is-dead character.
Had I died because I was greedy enough to walk it a second time? I'm pretty sure I would've thrown my computer off my balcony.
But yeah I was still pissed simply because it was VERY close (had like 10% HP left) and it scared me. I knew I'd survive though because LIKE A BOSS, my initial reaction wasn't "OH CRAP I'M GONNA DIE" but "YOU SON OF A [censored] I'M GONNA RIP YOU A NEW [censored] AND FEED IT TO YOU." I think if a Deathclaw that should oneshot me under normal circumstances only evokes THAT reaction from me, then I have reason to feel safe that I would survive.

Haha. This is off-topic, but first emerging from Vault 101 I went up to the house above the Vault and came across the wounded Deathclaw random encounter. Barely managed to take it down and discovered the schematics for the Deathclaw Gauntlet. Very happy.

On topic though, it's disappointing to hear that this is essentially second verse same as the verse. I still think the having a third faction in the other vampires would have been great for this DLC. Change things up a bit.

The ORIGINAL point I was trying to get across was that while I really enjoyed the content and the DLC as a whole, I felt it would have been nice to see more unique quests for the factions that lead up to the initial finale and not a cheap way like the Civil War quest line did. That and have pretty much the same ending for both factions regardless of if your evil or not. Very linear but Definately an awesome experience and a lot of great content provided. Worth my $20 for sure. Just had a little issue with how only the radiant story quests were the only faction oriented quests that were provided instead of giving a unique story that different for both sides so it feels like your getting two factions instead of two factions with different skins.

I would have atleast like to see the dawngaurd be more of a major enemy to overcome for the vampires. I feel really bad for that faction on the flip side of things. When you were the dawngaurd you had this sense of having an overwhelming enemy onslaught who challenged you at every turn! With the vampires they were a mere nuisance and you were just fighting your own team prittymuch. Changing certain elements like having the Dawngaurd protect the moth priest rather finding him in that cave would have been nice. And then in that cave Harkon could have come and tried seducing the moth priest and you fought of enemies trying to invade during the ritual. The vampire side just feels somewhat lacking storywise.
