Went through about 70% with a party, around the same with a solo character. Its was meh. Back before white march expansions, so don't know about them (although I do own them). It isn't currently on the to play again list, which is dwarfed by the still to play list by several parsecs, but maybe I should give it another go if so many think its such a good game.

Wait until the mood strikes you. My reaction to PoE was pretty much the same as yours, although I only played through it once. I've not played the White March expansions yet, and right now the thought of slogging through the game again isn't all that appealing, so I'm waiting until some point in the future where I'll get the urge to try it again. May not be anytime soon, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen eventually. Perhaps I'll look into mods to see if that makes it more appealing to me...

I really like the look of Ghost of a Tale, but, when it comes to new games, I have to stick to my No Tux, No Bucks rule.

Does it get that much longer with the expansions? O_o
Main game doing everything took 37 hours.

The White March is pretty much the only thing worth playing in PoE in my opinion. So I'd say, if you've played through the entire thing, give it a chance, as it might redeem a bit the whole experience of playing the main game (I'd also agree that's really dull and underwhelming).

Nah, I'm just dramatic. :p

Doing everything? Main game with WM 1+2 doing everything, reading everything and stuff: ~150 h - one playthrough. I'm a slow player exploring every nook and cranny - but 37h vs. 150h seems a bit strange, WM 1+2 are not that long.

Idunno, I usually seem to have a faster playtime with RPGs despite not skipping stuff or whatever. xd
Seems like it's usually 36.5 for main story and 58 for that plus sidestuff. According to How Long To Beat at least.

When I look at HL2B... I usually double the time for myself ;-)

NIMH is the whole reason I even went on this game's page.
