MY GOAT

Man, I Love Fauna.

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. ;)

Thanks Mae! Really appreciate it and hope to see you at another event as well!

@maeeeeeee and @ChronosReturns both of you do very fun runs! Good job! Thanks for the work!

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 Is using dash twice before a fight an intended mechanic?

@@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)

For real I'm at 204 and just hit act 3. Clearly, I need to jump more.

It's a twitch thing.

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

There's definitely some spoilers don't watch a playthrough of a game if you care about spoilers

maybe don't watch someone play a game if you don't want to know what happens in the game

@@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.
