Just finished off the Arishok on my Normal difficulty warrior run. Reaching this point took me around 80 hours on nightmare, and I'm a bit more than 40 hours ahead of that pace right now. I'm also nearly a full level higher, so the +3% xp from the ring and shield have made a noticable difference. I guess that means I should finish up somewhere around level 27.
I've seen people talking about how that they finished it in 20 hours or under, supposedly doing 'everything' and not skipping cutscenes, and I still don't see how in the world that's possible. I'm not sure I'm going to break 50 hours playing on Normal, and I have been skipping dialogue.
I learned something this morning: at least one of the vendors has random loot. The guy who sells armor in Hightown was missing an item I'd seen on him a few minutes earlier. After experimenting with him, it turns out he can have a variety of gear qualities, including (rarely) some gold-tier armor (the kind with the highest armor value as well as 3 additional stats). I don't know why it took me until the end of the 2nd act my 2nd time through the game to figure it out. I guess I was just operating under the assumption that the vendor's inventory was static. I'll experiment with some of the other ones in act 3, see if they can change during the course of the act, or if the items they carry are locked the first time you open them up.
