So it's that time again where I stick on walk through walls for a new DLC and see what is possible. I feel optimistic for this DLC. I'll need to do this a few times as I forget most of it when watching Magnum's stream.
......................
So about 1:30 later I can say.... my optimism was wrong. I've tested pretty much all of Chapter 3 and I can say that it's really bad.
The opening area in the save room is close but nope. You can go into the "TV" room, get cutscene but the resulting door just puts you into a void. I was however able to work out the fastest speedrun route.
1. Head out and turn left to nurse. The door opening is actually the trigger to load everything outside.
2. Go to light woman with save cat and skip dialog.
3. Go to the left door with red circle and get that dialog then exit via the iron bar door.
4. Do all 3 doors on the other side in order top left, top right, then bottom left (bottom left being Ruvik talking to Seb incase you are confused).
The generator room skip that Derrick nearly got doesn't work because the door leading into the Ruvik and Jimenez scene is a void (the second hand print door). The trigger for this part loading is unfortunately hitting the lever to restore power. I even tried reloading with save cat and it doesn't do anything.
Not much more stands out at me. I can say that the part with the big lock and dual combinations on the wall is RNG. Not sure how many combinations there will be but that will suck for running.
The action scene in Chapter 11 (referring to main game area) has a "skip" but you couldn't do it normally. You just get the gun and then no clip into the long corridor. It doesn't check for anything else. However, you must get the checkpoint after seeing Sebastian or you will load into a void. I can also confirm that Sebastian just stands in that building when not in sight.
The light woman fight is gonna end so many runs, BabyRage etc. It's stupidly difficult. The best part though? You no clip past the barrier stopping you and even that doesn't work. You get put into an invisible cube shape with Sebastian when you open the door.
The only "skip" I found to be even close to feasible/legitimate is that star sculpture room. You can just noclip past the door into the elevator and the game progresses as normal.
Hopefully Chapter 4 is more forgiving.
