We know that certain games are big, like BG3 or Persona 5. But recently games like FF7 rebirth and Indiana Jones just kept going on and on past "Act 3". Also Rise of the Golden Idol seemed a little short to me

Are developers getting more efficient with generating content?

That Pathfinder Kingmaker was long as hell. Not sure i want to start the sequel until I'm good and ready for another pleasant slog.

Pleasant slog should be the tagline on every owlcat game.

Love them but they definitely love a long game and a fuck you puzzle here and there.

I just finished it recently as well and also need an break until I start WotR.

I still think owlcat is nuts for adapting not one, but two full APs to video game form. Those are each six books worth of TTRPG adventure and those can take years to complete
