That was great! I was going to incorporate sujamma in my own run but I forgot the main trader in Seyda Neen sells some. Thank you for taking the time to route out these runs! I often feel bad that my speedruns are just jokes and don't reflect the time and effort that actual runners put into the game. Good work as always!
Two question dear sir - how long did it take you to be able to do the 40 min all factions speedrun and what is the process? Do you just break pieces down and do them over and over and while you learn new parts you just do the old ones like once every few days to not forget them? I can understand how people learn to do super mario speed runs or stuff like system shock 2, but your morrowind all factions is absurd.
Hey I believe it took me a few weeks to learn, from scratch to first attempt. The main thing is that I had something to go off of, which was the proof of concept run by the user known as Mildbyte. Mildbyte figured out the routing for the quests using complex math/computer science techniques, which was outlined in a 3 part article. You can read about the process here (scroll down for the rest of the parts): www.kimonote.com/@mildbyte/travelling-murderer-problem-planning-a-morrowind-all-faction-speedrun-with-simulated-annealing-part-1-41079/ Not too long after he came out with part 3, he did a proof of concept run. I basically just watched his run very slowly and took detailed notes, step by step for each split. To make things easier, I copied the split names he used. I also used a program called TextSplit that basically serves as a little window with notes, one slide of notes for each split. I was able to set it up so that when I split, the notes would advance as well. I did the run on my own very slowly without timing it, and made sure I was doing the correct steps in order. I made a lot of saves throughout the run so I could return to any segments that I thought were difficult, which is extremely helpful. I think my first "run through" took over 2 hours, and my first timed run was like an hour and 47 minutes or so. Throughout the course of many attempts and split practice sessions, I became more and more comfortable with memorizing each split. I got to a point where I was able to remember almost everything, except for just a handful of parts in the run later on in the run. I definitely have all of the dialogue remembered. I still have trouble memorizing a few of the later sections in the game, but all I need is a very brief glance at my notes during those few sections and I can stay on a fast pace without having to stop at all. I am looking back at some of the old videos and it seems like my splits had gotten reset for the category at some point, for one reason or another. I really have at least over 150 attempts in the category, so I likely have at least 125 hours of time spent learning, practicing and doing runs.
@@volvulusx5043 Thanks for answering! That was very insightful and surprising. I memorized a few thousand combinations of colored numbers but i can't spit out the sequence like you can move through. the game. I'm wondering if it's a different process of learning... Clearly your memory is very good, but do you consider it to be freaky level good? Or is it something let's say 2-5% or people could learn to a lesser degree? I'm asking because you speedrunners (of some games) are a mystery to me. You look like you might as well be working at NASA or something.
@@geraltofrivia2570 I don't think I have above average memory, as I really did have to rely heavily on my notes earlier on in the whole process. I mainly just have good game sense with Morrowind, having played it a lot casually and with speedruns. I'm very comfortable with controlling the fast movement speed and making sure I'm always navigating each section correctly. I actually think the run is a lot more taxing physically than mentally, as you're constantly having to do a ton of inputs just to control yourself, and you need to point and click like mad. Thankfully, when you play like that often, you can build more and more stamina. But yeah, ultimately I would say that the All Factions run is a very extreme and demanding run. So far it's the most rigorous Morrowind run out there!
@@volvulusx5043 Yes, it does seem like it's a mental marathon. A young man's game! Well thanks for revealing all your magician's secrets to me. A bit of the magic is gone but the technique remains just as impressive. Good luck in your future endeavours!
@@volvulusx5043 That is one of the most fascinating articles I have ever read. Back before Ocarina of Time speedruns went bonkers, I had toyed around with creating something like that for it. It's really cool to see the Morrowind speedrun community has already done something like that.

A true Micky D fan, teasing us with the limeware platter only to leave it in the dust
Wait no I do get it in this run!
What's it like, being an actual god?
can't be killed, get to tell the DB assassins their innocence is grand and intoxicating, what's better?
"What a grand and intoxicating innooooooh shit it's Volv AGAIN just go hit the heart already I'm done"
- Dagoth Ur, definitely
These need adding to the speedrun page
Doom percent!
Couldn't you have spared ajira 😢
FWIW, in khajit heaven nobody steals your reports.
just incredible
LOL *opens door*
*shank*
Godlike

Who did I miss then...
@@volvulusx5043 none of em, just some loser tryna get attention by saying you missed one
