too damn short... and ideas on future games

i really enjoyed jade empire... i found it to be one of the greatest rpgs around. it and the kotor series are amazing.

the problem i have with jade empire and a lot of games is that they're too damn short. i can understand in halo or something when you have online multiplayer that can sustain your amusement for years you dont need a lond single player storyline.

but in jade empire, the environments are:

little start out camp
crappy little first village and forest
imperial city
castle
dead place
dead place (but alive!)
and castle again

so really... you have five environments... i wish they eventually made a huge rpg thats really open ended and takes like 150+ hours to beat. that would be worth buying. i hate this 8 hour to 20 hour games that you feel were a waste of money.
