It's unreal how much time you can save in The Witcher 3, when you chose to ignore Gwent!

Hey guys! It's the runner here I hope you've enjoyed the run :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here, I'll try my best to answer ;) Also, posting my usual FAQ about this run: 1. Speedrunning the game feels wrong/ you shouldn't do it/ etc. Speedruns of this game are actually lore correct - when Geralt hears that Ciri is in danger, what should he do: try to get to her asap or play Gwent with every single person in the world? Ha, gotcha! :D Jokes aside, I've played through the game multiple times and spent hundreds of hours in it casually. It's one of my favourite ones and that's why I like to have fun with it by combining it with my hobby - speedrunning :) 2. How is Geralt so fast? I'm using a crossbow glitch that only works with version 1.06 or lower - when you zoom in while aiming with crossbow, the whole world slows down except Geralt, because you have to move te cursor smoothly in order to make a proper shot. If you are in this mode during an autosave, the game will store that state and afterwards when you pull out your crossbow and cancel it, the game still keeps that speed difference. And because the world is moving with normal speed now, you are going superfast. 3. How do you skip dialogues so quickly? Normally the only way to skip dialogues is mashing space and right click as fast as you can. The thing is, if you do it for 2-3 hours straight, it may heavily impact your hands and cause physical pain after completing a run. That's why as a community of Witcher 3 runners we've agreed on using AHK script that allows you to hold a button of your choice and the game registers it as clicking right mouse button once every 10ms. We can do it only in cutscenes (indicated by the green "AUTO" text on the video), so we don't abuse it anywhere else in the run - it's just a thing allowing us to be more comfortable and keep having fun while playing the game quickly ;)

Most impressively, Kaadzik managed to cover more dialogue IRL than there is in the entire game. Great run!

Took the term speed running fairly literally I see.

This actually what real geralt would do to find ciri

I'm sad that no one ever called this "The Glitcher".

This guy is amazing, great commentary. Talking about what going on with the story of the game isn't something allot of other speedrunners do. Really interesting.

"And that brings our Sonic block to an end" Well played announcer

Hundreds of hours in this game, not once did it ever occur to me that it could be shredded through like a sonic game. Really great run, awesome runner and a great addition to SGDQ. Cheers! (^_^)

I've never seen a Witcher 3 Speedrun before, and hot damn, it's amazing...

"Silver is for monsters and steel is for.. convincing people."

I couldn't watch the whole run during GDQ but judging from what I could watch this is one of the most entertaining and enjoybale speedrun commentaries I've seen. It really tells you something that I was eager to keep watching as much as I could while I don't like anything about Witcher in general.

About 20 minutes in I had to check if I had accidentally increased the playback speed, not because of Geralt’s supersonic running but because of how fast Kaadzik is talking. Impressive run!

I love when runners give every little detail on time saves, especially those micro time saves

Watched this live, and I just want to say that this was so exciting to see live and Kaadzik did wonderfully.

Dude you were such an amazing runner to watch! Hell of a run and thank you for being you!!! Such positive vibes

Already saw this run live. Just came here to say that i laughed so hard during all of this. Really, really great run Kaadzik, keep up the good work!

This might be the coolest polish person I've ever met! And I've both used to play on a EU World of Warcraft server that slowly became overwhelmingly polish / cz-sk (probably more latter though) and on a polish TBC private server. This sort of changes my mind about what kind of people might have been there on the other side of the monitor.

I found something to do speedrun faster: When you examine something punch to skip the examining part where he looks at footprints objects etc.

Geralt the Hedgehog, Corgi horses, teleporting people and all of that commented by fire spitting rapgod - pretty amazing, thank you very much!

Love the positive attitude and explaining the story.

Would love to see a trilogy speed-run one day ! Absolutely phenomenal session

Kaadzik is such a great runner, loved this commentary

The time it took you to kill the griffin is the time it took me to get to the first inn 😂😂 Enjoying the speed run, but will not see it to the end (yet). I started the game in June and with a baby I haven’t finished it yet 😉 impressed by how fast you apparently finish the game.

I missed this live, glad it was uploaded so quickly, amazing run!

You know this dude have 1000+ hrs in-game when he can speedrun it while explaining the dialogues and whats happening.

always wanted to see a witcher3 speedrun, im glad i waited to watch this guy cuz he is exceptional at doing this and is genuinely funny.

"If someone meets with Dandelion, that means trouble" yeah that's Jaskier for you

silver sword is for monsters, steel swords is for.. erm.. convincing people 😁

Excellent commentary through the whole run, the best speedrun this year so far. Great work Kaadzik!

One of the best runs I've ever seen!

his commentary is insightfull and hilarious, I love it!!!

a flying corgi horse, Witcher 3 really had everything huh

“Sorry for everything, but please be aware that I’m trying to do my best right now” MOOD

Skipping through Priscilla's song made it sound like a country western track. 10/10

Runner: "Stay for the first 10 minutes and hopefully you enjoy it" Also Runner: "This is Roach. We hate Roach" I almost rage quit the video LOL

Geralt can cook minute rice in 55 seconds

yes! Witcher 3 at GDQ finally!

oh boy that went fast. He did everything I achieved in the first 15 hours playing this game in like less than 10 minutes. DAMN

What an amazing speedrun! If there ever is another run of this at GDQ we definitely need a bid war beforehand what hair Geralt receives.

"This is roach, we hate roach" [Everyone disliked that] Jk his rng is really bad

He wasn't kidding about the first 10 minutes. 10/10 Griffin fight.

Amazing and fun run man. Didnt expect the supersonic speed at the beginning lol

This is something I wanted but never really needed and i happy to have a witcher 3 speedrun

Loved the commentary on this run. Really explained things well, despite trying to juggle the run without having couch members to help. Nice

2 hours is pretty fast, but talking constantly for 2 hours like that I wonder how you're breathing, it's a constant non stop information bomb

Damn... intense commentary - and very interesting and entertaining. 😊

This is my favorite game of all time

Nice run. Laughed at "DJ Skra" :) Useless fact: Dijkstra, in the game they pronounce it as "Deekstrah", but it's actually Dutch (as in, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱) in origin, pronounced something like "Daikstra".

Wow when I heard the theme music at 0:15 I was immediatly flooded with emotions

"I will Polish this statue because I am polish" and I sir am dead

He is talking very fast 🤣

Hey GDQ, i follow you for a while. It's awesome what you guys do, espacially with the foundations. Lost my Father back in 2009 because of lung cancer. I hope the whole epidemic is soon over, so you can do the big events with the audience which puts so much life in these events. Also the comentators are essencial and pretty nice to have, because you get an explanation of the stuff the runner does. But i have a suggestion for you. How is the idea that you switch the estimate time from time to time to show the current world record time of the category? I think this could show, what is actually possible or the watchers see on first sight if a runner brake the WR.

At last you uploaded it)) I waited for it. Great run, great commentary, amazing beautiful mistakes))

Awesome speedrun and very informative commentary -- thank you!

Looking forward to a 100 percent run :P

2 hours? I think I spent over 100 on my first playthrough....I'm already at 18 hours on ng+dm.

8 min in and he already got to the point in the game where I gave up

Amazing commentary

i’m on my third 50+ hour play through 🤣 it’s dope to see a speed run of this game

so no gwent?

Exchanging handshakes love that

Such a great commentary! Extremely entertaining, thanks a lot

Speed running indeed.

Wonder how many times he's played the game. Really cool run btw! And great commentary.

Messed up how someone can do something in 30 mins that took me half a week Seriously though, speedruns never cease to amaze me, especially when it's games I have played myself

Cool video very informative also in the speedrunning techniques

Lore-accurate Geralt fighting speed

Is there a reason for doing all the Novigrad quests, and not going to Skellige dirrectly ?

What's the rules in this speedrun? 🤔

He even speedruns conversations.

1:32:25 He has to reequip the swords, because earlier he gave them up to the Trolls.

I love it this speedrun

Nice speedrun

Amazing speedrun! Completely butchers the entire RPG experience this whole game is all about, yet - amazing skill in it own right! :-)

He gets level 24 with only the main quests. I did almost all side quests and only got level 30. Damn.

This games been out for 6 years and change and I’m still 10% in , this guy finished it in a hour . I should retire from gaming

Very enjoyable run also nice to listen to the runner

bruh it took me 18 hours to do this game with just under half of the side quests done hot damn

I see the game is not only about literal speedrunning, but also speedtalking.

Can you use the speed glitch on console? Anybody know?

We are Sonic right now 🤣

I'm a Witcher.

Really cool run by a really cool guy

Amazing run

Why the clock is not counting faster when your gameplay is made faster?

I've only played the games but I'm team Yennefir... because in this game they do a good job of establishing all the stuff from the books. If you played Witcher 1 and 2 then I get it but it's so clear in #3 what their history is.

Well this is different

I didn't know Ciri has Mikasa's Voice Actor

I'm waiting to see some tactics to use in my noob single player campaign :D

In Blindingly Obvious...how did you get out of combat mode to jump over the gap in the stairs? I can't get Geralt to come out of combat mode meaning I can't complete the mission and therefore can't complete the game. Haven't played it in a while because of this frustrating part!! Any help greatly appreciated!

Noooooooo why did you skipp priscilla performance it was so touching............

OMG I got that Caranthir glitch on my casual playthrough lol

I Played like 30 Hours and im at the Same Point he is at 1 Hour 😂

Gotta be honest, as cool as this run is, it's making me nauseous

B- b- but... I just bought this game today? I really want to watch and learn but I don’t want spoilers... 😭

How to skip a dialogue that fast?

Don't have the time to see the full run so I skipped in to see Geralt making the Olympics look pathetic

With the crossbow speed glitch, wouldn't it be faster to travel with the horse than on foot?
