The Technomancer’s basic plot takes quite a while to get going, with the opening occurring within a single town as the player acts as an obvious tool in the machinations of more important characters.

The main quest line can be burned through in about two hours or so, with the side quests bringing the total playtime of the DLC to around eight hours.
