Skyrim Main Quest speed run?

2013-07-29 11:32:57 pm

Never did a speed run before!

not sure if this has been done but I loved skyrim and I spent many many hours playing this game. I was wondering if it would be a fun speed run for my first one to try and if anyone else has done it yet how long it might take. I wont be able to record it if I try since I only own it on ps3.

The above video is actually old. New record is about a minute faster. He's back and looking to improve.

I think without oob and actually doing the whole quest line 3 hours is a good estimate for a good run. (I did 3:30 with a ton of other restrictions and little planning last month)

With bowling about an hour.

Speedrunning Skyrim is much better now than it was when I started because of newer esbern and clipping strats but running the game on the PS3 would be rough. AFAIK no one has attempted a PS3 run and it would be in the same category as XB360 (would probably need to remove loadscreens). I would guess a good point to aim for is sub 1:40 with PS3 loadscreens, but it may be even higher than that.

My most recent any% guide is available at http://bombch.us/BS_, the leaderboard at http://bombch.us/BZv and the most recent world record video is below. If you have any further questions feel free to PM me on twitch, ask in the forum post for Skyrim that was linked above, or come into SRL IRC #Skyrim!
