Book II will be longer than Book I in terms of more quests and areas to explore. But like Book I, Book II's length is largely going to be determined by how much extra stuff you do. It would be impossible to say how much time will be required since everyone plays at different speeds, but we would like to provide a 40-hour experience for the average player. In comparison, Book I was a 20-25 hour game for most people.

I know the quote is nearly two years old, but I hope that answers your question booboo.

Well, seriously it is like this, you download the "shareware" version which is the demo... and after that if you want to go on playing.... just buy the code.

Excellent. I can see many beautiful spring days when I should be outside with me hunched over the computer addicted to this instead. Great news.

I wonder if I could get mine early if I just drove to Indianapolis? It's just 4 hours away. I think DTE practically lives in the Wrangler's back yard....

That sounds really great for an Indie title - I'm even more enthusiastic now!

Side question - can one get back problems from being hunched over the computer for too long. Mine's been bugging me. It's probably DTE's fault. ;)
