The Gamer's Hell has kicked up an interview with Arkane Studios' Raphael Colantonio regarding their upcoming RPG, Arx Fatalis. They chat about everything from development hurdles to a possible sequel. Snip:

Just roughly - how many quests and side quests are there and how long will the average player need to finish it the first time? And how many individual NPCs are there in the game (a.k.a. excluding foot men and "normal" critters)?
Time required to finish the game depends on players, but I'd say that it would take at least 50 hours for a fast experienced player to finish the game, considering that he won't have done all the sub-quests and found all secrets. There are around 50 original NPCs which have been characterized, meaning that we've given them some specific dialogs, a specific face, a story, etc...
