How can I tell how long (more or less) it will take me to complete a game?
How long does it take for an average player to finish all acts in Normal Mode?
Only a reference from Blizzard or another strong reference could answer this, please note that I'm not asking to post an opinion.
I'm considering buying it to my wife but I know she's not a big fan of Diablo's endless "replayability", so I'm trying to know if it is worthy.

This question is pretty subjective and there's no real "best" answer, but since I am in a similar situation I figured I'd share.
My wife is a casual gamer. She likes to take frequent breaks, reads everything thoroughly, explores the entire map, and spends a fair amount of time weighing gear and skill decisions to get the playstyle feeling right.
At that pace, it took us about 20 hours to beat normal the first time through. I'd guess that maybe 2 of those hours were spent AFK doing one thing or another, though.
On my solo character I finished Act IV in 10 hours. I still explored a lot, but skipped all of the cinematics.
