That avatar was ridiculous. Good job. I think funny looking avatars are great for speedrunning, since immersion was never even on the table. Just cut loose and enjoy! And I did enjoy this. ;)
I already spent about a thousand hours in this game why not spend another watching Chronos dominate this game again. I friggin love this game and the speed runs go crazy for this game for how fast it got busted open
This was so fun to watch live! Chronos is really good at explaining everything as he goes. I found him through his bg3 speedrun tutorials, learned this exact run to get the honor mode achievement. Both a great runner and teacher!
It sums up what it intends in a single word, so it gets the job done. You aren’t gonna see Skyrim-esque running through the skybox, and see something closer to a “real” playthrough of just trying to play the game really fast
speedrunning is almost always an unintended solution in itself. there aren't that many games where the dev's goal is for you to beat it as fast as possible, so you're always going to need to do unconventional things to achieve that goal. the arbitrariness is going to seem doubly true for a game based around the story, making the speedrun look nothing like a casual playthrough. glitchless just means there are no glitches, which is accurate here. for example using "enhance leap" in conjunction with "feather fall" is an intended mechanic, not a glitch, the runners have just figured out a way to use it incredibly efficiently if well practiced. plus, if a community gets too granular with their category naming they can end up with an unorganized mess
@@GeoffRamler Isn't using the bombs in the way they did to kill Ketheric a glitch? I didn't think they were supposed to explode like that when thrown in a stack. (I generally prefer glitch allowed categories so this doesn't bother me, it just seemed inconsistent)
Good lord the screen tearing is terrible, assuming it's not just an upload issue big kudos to the runner for dealing with that and providing an otherwise entertaining run!
the weird thing about the gortash situation is that in my honor mode run finished last week i used a lot of chronos strats towards the end of act 2 and onwards, from the orin fight up to the upper city portion i mostly did what he did however when i went to speak with gortash, after the first set of dialog(coronation) instead of talking to me about the alliance he just left(i had the stone) and then i went upstairs exactly like chronos did in gdq but when i entered the room he just talked to me normally and we did the alliance 🤔
He killed Orin before the coronation, so Gortash expected him to have the Netherstone. Not having it means he thinks you didn't accept the alliance, so he attacks.
@@martinhendry2683 Sorry you are wrong, otherwise backup save would not have worked Reason why gorthash attacked is his main character hasn't the nether stone in his inventory and Jaheira, who has, was not present on the rooftop Hence he got hostil e
@@KaitouKaijuIt’s a fair question for a speedrun. Tons of runs end with a warp to the credits without even seeing the final boss. It’s silly to pretend a speedrun is exactly the same thing as a full playthrough.
@@RealLockheedMartin This is a 1h speedrun of a game that can take 100h in a casual first time playthrough. Their question is a legit question. They could be skipping 99% of act 3 and since this guy probably doesn't know act 3 they wouldn't know what about the 1% left is a spoiler or just random stuff.
