you can't even do two of the orb quest until after you get the magic key, so I think it's your estimate that is off base
Eh, those don't really take more than 3~4 hours. That's pretty much all that remains. If you're on Stronger Monsters, it helps to clear out pretty much everything you can do before that difficult boss. For me it was at around ~30 hours, when I finished Act 1 somewhere between 34 and 35 hours.
Saying that where he's at is on pace for a 60-hour Act 1 is wildly, vastly off base.
