Here is a quote from Feargus Urquhart from a mini interview in a german games magazine about NWN2:
(I retlanslated it into english)
Well NWN 2 is gonna suck anyway, but its sad to see that the game lenght of 20h which would have been the minimum limit for FPS a few years ago is now applied to RPGs.
Not to mention the fact that by "youll play 20 hours for sure" he propably means rather "the game will take you 15 hours to complete max, if you 'enjoy' the game and dont rush trough it - whatever that means- it will take you 1 or 2 hours longer"
And the logic behind making a game shorter to ensure that more ADD kiddies actually complete it is beyond me.

Q: How long will it take to beat NWN 2?
A: Its difficult to estimate it exactly, but you'll play 20 hours for sure. We want to ensure that a maximum number of players completes the game, and there are only few who play longer then 20 hours.
