As for the loot being crap, that's not a big deal to me. I've never liked the idea of finding uber-gear just laying around. Since Fable doesn't really have a "drop" system where you can get loot off of stuff you kill, I like the idea of accumulating wealth so that you can just buy uber-gear. Plus, I think it fits better with the motif of the game - it's a pre-industrial setting with guns and such, so it's not pure magical fantasy. (On a side note, I find the setting VERY refreshing. The combination of gunpowder and magic is very cool.)
Also, in terms of game length, how much did you concentrate on the main quest vs. doing side stuff? That will DEFINITELY have an effect on the length of the game. Yesterday morning I spent TWO HOURS alternating between smithing and doing community service because of all the burglary and breaking/entering charges I had against me.

I completed every quest and did almost all the achievements in the game within 25 hours. I even got all of the silver keys and gargoyles. I did have the advantage of starting with tons of money from the pub games exploit though.
But I can see how playing through the game at a different pace would change how long it felt. I pretty much zipped through the game in a few days back in October.
