Well, to be fair gebx, BioWare used to be a PC RPG developer, and PC RPGs are really fucking long. I'd say Baldur's Gate II was easily 70 hours in it's main game, though it's hard to tell, since you do need to do side quests to be powerful enough to beat it... And "side quests" are vital to said games. Thinking of them as asides is like thinking of the World of Ruin in Final Fantasy VI/III as a series of side quests, rather than an area of non-linear gameplay. I'm not sure how thoroughly BioWare has followed through on this since they started doing 3D games, I've only watched people play them, not played them myself.
Dragon Quest/Warrior VII was bigger than 70 hours as well.
Anyways, games of that length do exist. I'm not sure it's fair to expect games to be that long.
