I agree here. Shep mentions that it's only been a few months since he left Earth upon his return before the final attack. However, the micro-management in this game makes it significantly longer than previous two. I personally spent full three days to complete all side stuff and making sure I haven't missed out on anything. I also like that you had more chatting with the crew which gave you the extra abilities. A loyalty trips while galaxy is harvested would have been ridiculous. It was a great game all around, let down greatly by the endings, but that's another story entirely.
