Hey Waz, you inspired me to do my first speedrun today. I challenged myself to beat skyrim before the new decade at 7:33, and it took me 3:10:27, lol. But that was glitch less, and with your commentated main quest run, I think I can bring it down significantly. I also really love how you reply to comments. I’ve commented before, and I found it really touching that you took the time to respond. Keep being awesome, dude!
I surprised myself when I did it years ago but I did the skip at 6:00 on my own without knowing what it would do bc I wanted to see what happen lol, I ended up skipping like most of the questline
failing to attend your own wedding gives you control during cutscenes. that's how he just wanders around in the past on the main questline speedrun during the reading of the elder scroll. and here he walks around while being paralyzed by karliah's poison.
It's oddly the fastest way to skip through the mini cutscene / dialogue of them opening the vault to find mercer has ransacked it. Entering/exiting an area tends to advance dialogue about 3/4 lines and move NPCs about.
There are games that look fun to speedrun such as those Mario and Zelda games. But watching this is painful to watch and I can’t understand why anyone would want to speedrun Skyrim
well that’s why commentating is important. I knew this person who would tell the most mundane and average stories but she would tell them in such a over exaggerated and comic way it would always intrigue me and burst me into laughter. I have seen a lot of good speed runners who explain what’s going on and make some funny jokes but the vast majority either don’t commentate or are just the most boring people ever without explaining anything. I think a speedrun can be interesting even with a game like Skyrim but if there’s no commentary it sucks balls. Plus I find glitchless stupid as they still use glitches
I've ran Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 (considered to be the best speedgame there is) and I've found Skyrim to be the most fun of everything I've ran. Maybe it's not noticeable for viewers but almost everything about Skyrim is execution based, aka skill, right down to the smallest of details which makes it an incredibly engaging and interesting speedrun to do. It's also crazy fast paced with cool glitches everywhere and the perfect balance of difficulty, easy to learn but hard to master. But in general certain types of games/gaming are always more fun for some than others. Battle royales like Fortnite are hugely popular but I find them unbearably boring.
