Depends on your exploring of the world and doing side-quests. A speed run would probably take 5-7 hours. If you really open every chest, talk to every NPC it will take about 20-25 hours.

Description
Darkness.
Cold wet stone.
The taste of blood... My blood.
What happened?
Where am I?
And... Who am I?
This is the story of a man who finds himself alone in the dark, trapped in a cell, struggling to regain his memories and freedom.
But while escape proves rather easy, coming to terms with his life lost proves a far more challenging task.
Especially in a world that is swiftly spinning out of control.
Will he regain his identity, remember his family, his friends and his wife?
And by what dark events was he cast into this personal hell in the first place?
This is for adults only! Contains graphical and verbal nudity, explicit content, rude language and forms of violence. You have been warned.
A Dance With Spies is a fan mod to Valine's A Dance With Rogues (ADWR) series.
It revolves around the main ADWR story, but introduces its own story line as well.
As the main plot unfolds, it offers a different perspective on some of the key events and characters from ADWR.
However, A Dance With Spies and the story elements suggested in it are not officially accredited by Valine.
Prerequisites:
* This module requires NWN v1.69 with both expansions (SoU & HotU) installed.
* You need to play a male human character or otherwise the story wouldn't make sense.
* Level in Rogue Class or equivalent, since gameplay emphasizes use of rogue skills.
* Single player only.
Installation:
Download the <module>.zip and the required hakpacks from below.
Extract and distribute the contained files into your NWN installation folder as follows:
* The hak files go into the hak subfolder,
* the mod file goes into the modules subfolder and
* the tlk file goes into the tlk subfolder.
* In case you want to used the predefined player profile provided below put the bic file into the localvault subfolder.
Useful Hints:
* There is a new feat called eavesdropping. It allows a player to eavesdrop on bystanding NPCs. This feat is available via the ring menu under Special Abilities > Rogue > Eavesdrop. (Note: eavesdrop can be placed on the quickbar for faster access.) In order for your rogue to have this feat available from start on he has to be created using "Create new character" when loading the module.
* Do not break dialogs by hitting the ESC button. Do not run around while in a conversation. Do not click away those little action icons in e.g. a cutscene. All this may result in uncontrolled behavior and may ruin the game experience.
* Try to be sneaky and roguish, rather than blunt. You will probably earn more experience this way. After all, this is a rogue-based, role-playing mod.
* Again, this mod emphasizes role-playing/story, not fighting. You have been warned.
* There is always more than one way to solve a given quest.
* A lot of missions are triggered by or depend on events that happen at home. So, like in real life, when you are stuck after a day of heavy adventuring go home and take a nap.
Acknowledgments:
I want to specially thank Z. for doing the testing and quality assurance, and Lexor for his various contributions.
And of course I want to explicitly express my thanks to Valine, whose marvelous A Dance With Rogues series has in fact encouraged me to get this thing going.
Since this module blatantly uses several parts of the original ADWR story and setting, I hope Valine is OK with me using it. (Unfortunately she didn't answer my request messages.)
Also, I reused story elements, scenes, character features and quotations heavily inspired by other games, modules or films that I really adore.
I want to express my thanks to those originators too.
Imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery.
