The writers for the story of Bg3 packed as much story into the game wherever they could. The writers and developers have stated there are about 17,000 ending variations based on play style and choices. According to howlongtobeat.com the average playthrough of bg3 focusing on the story is 63 hours long however a 100% completion run would be around 153 hours. It's impossible to experience the entire game in one playthrough due to choice story diversion. The more you play the more you make choices affecting the world around you. You can replay the entire game multiple times and have a unique experience each time granted you make different choices than your previous playthrough. If you take the time to experience the game each playthrough and have fun you'll absolutely make the purchase worth it. I personally have completed two different playthroughs totaling me at 173 hours of playtime. Granted I did not reach 100% completion on either run yet the game and still totaled that much.

So don't watch a movie, become your own main character.
