Beat ME1 in 18 hours, majority of citadel quests completed, got wrex's armor, tali's geth info, garrus' personal quest completed, no other side quests completed, no planets explored. Was at level 40 by the end. Basically, it was the fastest run-through I could manage while completing all the character quests.
