I disagree that length is irrelevant, however for a middle game in a trilogy (or series) I would be more than happy with 40 hours, assuming they can knock out the next in the series quickly enough.
Regarding word count, I would expect there's far less need to have all the texts on background lore that the first game had - that was introducing the setting after all.
I do agree however that my objections to DA2 remain in place regardless of these figures.
Actually, a substantial savings on word count comes from the lack of multiple origin / race based dialog conditionals.
I haven't played the demo but from videos my heart has sunk a bit due to DA:O being a favorite RPG in recent memory. Still, I agree, 40 hours isn't bad. It just makes the Mass Effect comparisons feel more solid (though, in fairness, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 were fun rides.. just paltry RPGs).
