Actually, it may have been 3 hours. Wasn't my PC, and it was late at night after a LAN session .. everyone was asleep but me
Personally, I like Morrowind + 50 Plugins more than G/G2 - I'm an avid table-but-no-paper-n-dice roleplayer, so I simply make the missing NPC "life" up in my head, and act accordingly. After all, comp AI doesn't get it right anyway.
What puts me off from G/G2 is mostly the tight correlation between story progress and map location - most times you simply cannot deviate from the given path. This is especially obvious if you play the very first part several times in a row to try out different starting possibilities.
I must admit, I only played up to the point where you decide about what "main path" you put character on, but from having a look at some walkthrough in a game mag I found my suspicion confirmed - once on a "path", it's basically the same again.
On the other hand, athmospere is very "tight", dialogues are quite well done etc.,so I think it's a matter of personal preference and taste.
And it should be easy to get a used copy on ebay .. so financial risk should be rather small
