First PT was 90 hours to 80% completion.
Second is 45 hours so far to 40% completion.

Around 120 hrs first playthrough, shorter for the others, completed most of my crucial stuff except the really crappy unmarked quest without map markers. Took a lot of time scanning planets and at that time before the patch you cannot skip the animation thus took a long time, should be shorter now. Approx level 60 upon completion.

I'm not big on side quests so my first playthrough was 57 hours and after they're shorter.
There is a point to it though because at some point I will do the side quests and then I'll have content I've never done before 🙂
Still, most RPGs I've played in recent years don't even get close to that many hours for me in a playthrough so that by itself was a nice surprise.

I had about 55 hours on my first playthrough, with about half of the optional content done. I pretty much skipped most of Elaaden and H047, but I was pretty thorough for Eos to Kadara.
I'd estimate the critical main-story-only path to be 25-30 hours, with 40-60 hours of additional content, going by how I usually play.
However of course the difficulty and your personal playstyle is going to have a huge impact. If you play on Casual and with a focused style you'll tear through the combat encounters like a freight train. On the other hand a max-difficulty run with certain builds would take much longer.Some people will want every detail of every random NPC's story, others will spam past spoken content while skimming the subtitles.
