That was just overkill for a casual gamer like me. I normally only try to play for a few minutes at a time and a maximum of 1 hour when there's a story to get through. Four hours is excessive and exhausting.
And it might have been ok if the story was good. Some people binge watch the Lord of Rings and that's extremely long. But the lore of this game just isn't what it used to be. In this section, the king of Khaenri'ah is revealed to be tyrannical and is actively hunting down members of the previous dynasty. Previously we had information about how well-respected this king was and that his people went so far as to carry around idols of him to use as inspiration and give them hope after their nation was destroyed. We also knew that this king fell ill and had to rely on his regents to run the nation but in this new story, the regents were not mentioned even once.
I really hope this is the only time they pull this stunt. I don't want to play for this long ever again.
