I didn't conradict myself once. Stop putting words in my mouth. Throughout this conversation I've said you need to look at the D-Mod as a whole to categorize it. This has nothing to do with the fact that I think additional content shouldn't be included in the counted length of the D-Mod.

First of all, the statement "no one plays RPGs just to play the main story" isn't true. And even if it was, this still doesn't change the fact that the additional content should be just that: additional. Which means that in an Epic D-Mod, it should only work as an addition to an already Epic game.

You do realize that there can be a Romp with extra content, a Quest with extra content, and an Epic with extra content? You can add as much side-stuff to a Romp as you wish, but that won't change the fact that it's still a Romp. This is what separates an Epic from other D-Mods. It's already a long D-Mod on its own, without the need to add a ton of content to prolong the gaming experience.
