The whole romp/quest/epic thing is just ridiculous and doesn't provide much clarification. What we really should have is an approximate completion time in 30 minute intervals up till a certain point. At that point it becomes anything greater than that.

romp/quest/epic can either be used to describe length or genre. It can't be both.

If an epic is determined by length i.e. "as long as the original game or longer" Malachi can be qualified.

However if an epic is determined by genre, Malachi doesn't really feel like an epic.

As magicman said in chat 25 minutes ago as of this post, "what is the classification supposed to mean, and how do we classify?"
