This isn’t a character action game
11 hours is pathetic
Any other company drop a 11hrs RPG and they would have their ass set on fire, CDPR does it and it’s A-ok. An 11hrs main quest for an RPG should never be deemed acceptable and this isn’t what they stated, this is a significant cut compared to the Witcher 3 as opposed to the slightly less they touted.
You could beat the main quest line of Skyrim in less than 10 hours, much less if you put effort into it but most people put hundreds of hours into the game. Most open world games if you focus on the main quest only can be completed in around the same time so i am not seeing the problem. If you think this game will only be 11 hours long i am not sure this is the right game for you.
