Supposedly, "The Witcher" had like 70+ actual hours of gameplay, but I heard it got mixed reviews. You're right though, most games now are being slimmed down to 10 hours at most because of development costs. It's really sad, because I remember playing Fallout 2 for 2 weeks before I even got out of The Den, and even then, I didn't finish all the quests there because I didn't have the firepower to take out the slavers.
For any game nowadays to have any more than 3 endings is a real feat though, since most of the time you end up with the good ending, bad ending, and hidden ending.
If you haven't played it, you may want to pick up S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. It was fantastic. It's set in Chernobyl and the surrounding area, and it's one hell of a game. If Fallout 3 ends up being anywhere near the quality that Stalker was, then it will be a classic. Stalker has like 8 endings, and they're all good.
