KotOR is short, actually... just 40-something hours. I know Bioware agrees with you -- they have said multiple times "we will not be doing another Baldur's Gate II" -- but I don't like it. Sure, it takes a long time to get through a BGII. But it's so much fun, and it's so worth it... I spent 100 hours to beat BGII (not including expansion, I've been doing that quite slowly and am maybe 60% of the way through at somewhere between 30 and 50 hours) and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in years... KotOR? It's a bit short, but long enough that it's not a big problem. It's not a 25-hour game, after all. But this one... 22 hours? Now THAT is short for an RPG. Sure, some RPGs are that short, and they definitely still can be great games well worth getting within that time limit (and if it's a very repetitive game, you might be welcoming the end by 20 hours)... but for a big, epic RPG, 20-something hours is short. Of course, if the game is great that can be less of an issue, but it's worth mentioning.
