Yeah fatigue is pretty annoying. It works in more subtle ways too, which many people don't notice. As you become fatigued, your chance of scoring a critical miss increases, so even if you have a bitchin' THAC0 that can overcome the THAC0 penalties associated with fatigue, your swings are forced to miss. There is also an "anti-KAI" ability that starts to kick in, where each successful attack deals minimum damage!
As for game days for me, I tend to do all the quests too, including completing the stronghold quests. This can be mighty annoying if you're a fighter-type, since I usually end up spending weeks on end in the keep waiting for the next quest!!
I think 60-80 game days is a fair average to get to the end of hell, although my personal best was 30-something days, where I stormed through only doing the quests that were absolutely necessary.
