Fallout 3 - Interview #2 @ CVG

The second part of CVG's interview with Pete Hines on Fallout 3 is now up, mostly covering existing territory.  Here's a bit on the size:

How many hours will Fallout 3 take to finish in the first play through?

Pete Hines: That's a play-style thing. It's probably about 20 good hours for the main quest and all of the side quest stuff is probably at least another 20 hours. Then there's all the miscellaneous freeform stuff, the exploring.

And how big is the game world?

Hines: Downtown DC is about a quarter of the world. The other three quarters are wasteland, little settlements... Megaton is one of the bigger cities or locations that you'll come to but there's lots of little towns and settlements out in the world. Three quarters of the world is that wasteland area.
