Is GWEN really as short as it looks on Wiki?

By the looks of it you could do it in a day (without the stress of getting masters or exploration done)...

There are no master rewards. Just completing all primary quests. If you focus only on the primary quests then yes, gwen can be short. But if you only do the primary quests you have done like only 1 out of the 18 dungeons, you have none on the title skills, haven't tried any of the minigames and so on ...

Yes, well I would be fully completing it. I was just surprised at how short it looked. However, I am enjoying it a lot.

to get from the begining to the end can be done in a day without much of a problem.

but there is a lot more to it than getting from start to finish, unless you hate titles/farming.

Doing everything in Gwen made it feel almost as long as the original game. As stated the main story is only about 1/5 of the whole. There is a wealth of excellent side quests and mini games to undertake. Some not without there challanges. Polymock could have been a game in it's own right. While I'm talking of Polymock can we play against other player?

Let's put it this way: what you HAVE to do to get through the story is short. However, there's a lot more to do, it just isn't required by the storyline.

I bought GWEN in September and finished it today(all dungeons done and areas vanquished) There is really a lot of things to do in it, when you start doing it.

It's the optional areas and dungeons that make GWEN a good expansion - if you skip those, then yes, it is short. But.... it's not a full campaign, it's an expansion, so I expected it to be shorter.
