The main story runs about 2,020 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 5,075 hrs, roughly 2.5 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel i3 4170 @ 3.7 GHz or AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 270. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 100GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive.
