Congrats on the 1hr27m! Really swell considering you had to load a few times and also had to wait for the character to swirl around with janky movements. And I completely agree on what you said about owlcat hiding items on the walls that you can't even see unless you press the highlight interactable button. Literally the game sucks because you can't even rotate the camera though you seem to be a god even without it. Congrats again, I hope you can get a 1.26 soon.
Great job, man! First time seeing someone speed run this game, and It's pretty crazy! Didn't even think there was any leasable way to speedrun it, haha!
20:24 Hm... by my calculations Riverbed Nightmares is gauranteed to happen on 10th day after start of the game. Your playthrough started on Gozran 14th, so that would be a proc on 9th day. Maybe it have a chance to proc by just resting? Needs more testing. 33:55 They turn off in Personal Chest area, namely OTP and Throne Room. 39:04 Perhaps it's working as intended, or immunity only for Barbarians, my Tristian got no extra benefit from it, got tired traveling as usuall. 39:22 Like Spinebreaker greatclub. Probably the biggest "doing not what intended" case. 48:16 Oleg's event affects region upgrade for Outskirts. And second event will happen regardless of your choices 30 days later. So for a speedrun it's indeed doesn't matter what you choose. 1:10:38 +2 Perception, +2 Intimidate, +1 AC vs Animals and Magical Beasts Woldn't kicking out Harrim and Ekundayo via dialogue save time during throne room events as you won't get their quest events?
thanks for all the info! and in regards to Harrim/Ekundayo, taking the time to go and talk to them would cost more time than it saves, they both only have 2 throne room cutscenes associated with them, and those scenes are roughly the same time as the dialogues to get rid of them. Ekundayo is a more tempting option since he is already in the throne room and is not really out of the way at all, but Harrim is all the way up in the top of the capital, well out of the way of anything else we do there.
@01:20:00 muscle cramps at night can be cause by dehydration and lack of magnesium. Try eating more bread or taking a magnesium supplement. And drink more water. There's no reason you should suffer.
Yeah I've been doing both those things actually, I cut out most drinks except for my coffee during the streams and water for the rest of the day, and I haven't had that issue in quite a while now. But that kind of thing sticks in your mind lol
Just focusing on beating the game as fast as possible, no specific ending required. I would like to try to route out specific endings eventually, but I've only heard rumors of that fabled "free time" concept lmao
it's been a while but... you can not get fatigued from the rest event, if you pick the right option. pretty sure on that one. you do rest when that happens, the main character gets fatigued as a result of the dialog choices. interesting psudo-combat trick and use of fog clipping on encounters. What was that act 1 pathing, pretty sure i timed the pathing to be faster on the right and north? does PK not work on the owlbear? Time Losses: A0- misses with amiri. A1-staglord saved against PK. overall - some interesting developments since i've been away, good to see Whotavia and Whatevergar aren't a thing anymore.
The new pathing is because of the time skips to avoid chapter 6, it balances the time skipped and the time lost due to extra overworld movement the best.
As of right now there is not, but it is something that I want to do soon™. The level 15 thing is pretty easy though. To get past the fog encounter you just need to bring up the rest menu with R, the hit escape to close it, then spacebar to continue moving after you get the encounter popup. As long as you get to an intersection on the map you will not be sent back by the encounter. Then you just go over to Varnhold to pick up the heart of Ira and head back to the lonely barrow. The timing of getting through everything there at lvl 3 with just vanish is pretty tight, but you can also wait until lvl 4 and use invisibility instead, which is much safer. Once you get to the lich's room you need to clip through the wall like I do in my run (very hard to describe how in text, but if you do the same thing I do in my video it should work every time).when inside the room, make sure you are still invisible when the lich initiates the dialogue, then stay at max range for Ira to damage him and turn it on. You can then just wait for him to die and TADAAAA you are now lvl 14! (Make sure you have "Only active companions receive experience" turned on. BONUS: you can then turn that option off, and every brand new party member you recruit will be set to match your MC's experience! So Octavia, regongar, Tristian Ekun, the twins and Jubilost can all start at lvl 14 as well! (Sadly no one that has joined the party already, even if they are not in it at the moment, will benefit from this.)
@@pondoorwastaken So I got all the way to varnhold, and got the neckalce, on my way out I got the fog encounter and it keeps happening over and over. Ive tried different exit points but the game wont let me leave the fog area, even after reloads. Any advice?

I need that Terry Crews portrait!!!
i believe that i found it in the kingmaker section on nexusmods
Haven’t watched yet, but curious if there is an ending you go for on the speed run? Or do you just focus on beating the game?

is there a written guide somewhere? I don't want to speedrun per say but I would like to try and go fast and do the level 15 trick.

@@pondoorwastaken heeeeeey thanks for the response! Appreciate the advice.

nevermind, it glitched out but the r esc space trick worked
this is pretty tiresome. Ive failed all of these perception checks like 50 times it seems. even country road per the original video I cant find
