  • Teh first ever sub 2:30 in any%!!!! I've narrowed it down to just one major mistake: looting the Icarian Flight scrolls from Tarhiel was pretty scuffed. Also, the Census Office segment could have been a bit faster. Other than that, everything was really solid!

    As someone that has played over 6000 hours of Morrowind, this is really impressive. I only understand what's happening because I'm so familiar with the game, but it's absolutely mad how you can pull it off. Well done.

    • @volvulusx5043
      @volvulusx5043  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Well, thanks! Honestly, the any% run is pretty uninteresting when you really break it down, I mean there's only a little over 2 minutes worth of gameplay involved.
      While the route has actually gone through some changes recently (skipping the potion shop), which was discovered/workshopped pretty close to the time of posting of this video, there just really isn't much to it in terms of a cool or interesting route, I think. It's really easy to learn how to complete an any% run, after just a bit of information on a few tricky parts and not even an hour's worth of practice.
      This is of course made up for by having very optimized execution in all facets, with maybe only about 3 seconds left of timesave that I could see someone out there achieving. This is until some small optimization or maybe even something more significant is discovered, but who knows when that will happen? People have been doing this run on and off for a bit over a decade now, it feels pretty unlikely something will be found to help save more time after that potion shop trip was cut out.
      I think the longer runs are more interesting, including the all main quests run, the all factions run, and even the DLC. I even did one of a pretty long mod called Sotha Sil Expanded.
      These runs show off a lot more of the game. While not having as perfect execution as any%, there is still of course a lot of drive to do everything as quickly as possible. It's like, in this run only the last 30 seconds are truly the super speedy parts. However in the all main quests run, you get basically another 10 minutes of very fast gameplay at this high speed. I just think the ratio is much better.

      @@volvulusx5043 While I respect the hell out of speedrunners, that level of commitment that leads you to playing the same thing thousands of times to find new ways to shave a tenth of a second off of a run, it's not for me. I play games to explore, to discover. I'm actually working on a mod for Morrowind that adds a ton of new spells and magic items - weapons, armor, clothing, potions, scrolls, and so on - and puts them all around the game world. I've noticed in my own playthroughs of the game that I sort of learn to recognize the different caves, and I know "oh, only a few bandits in here, no good loot". My mod is designed to bring back that sense of exploration and wonder by giving players a reason to investigate all the little caves and shrines and tombs around the game world, poke into all the hidden alcoves and dark corners, and hopefully reinvigorate and restore that sense of wonder that I felt when I first played Morrowind.
      I'm by no means an expert, there are no new models or anything, just new content built on existing assets, and I'm not the BEST at scripting, but I've worked in a bunch. One thing I did was use the script on the book that teaches the spell to summon a dwarven sphere and tweak it so that the new spells I made can be learned from books that I place in the world, rather than have to stick an NPC in random locations.

      The last one is actually way more true for Oblivion than it is Morrowind, we almost never use Skooma in any runs. There's like one Morrowind category that I can think of that uses it, but it's just one Skooma in the entire run. Unfortunate but it is what it is

    How did you survive your fall damage at 2:34? Did you cast another icarian flight scroll there and just have enough stats from adrenaline rush? Or is it landing in that exact spot in the wall? And is this something that is fixed in GOTY

    • @volvulusx5043
      @volvulusx5043  ปีที่แล้ว +12

      The way Acrobatics works is that it increases your jump height and decreases fall damage. So if you are under the effect of an Icarian Flight Scroll while you land, you won't take any damage. So, this is an intended mechanic in the game.

    You also had slight boosts before and even more boosts with Sunder later.

    • @volvulusx5043
      @volvulusx5043  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In the 1.0 version of the game, rapidly between Keening and another weapon maintains the stat buffs that Keening provides. There is no limit to the amount of times you can do this. I also had adrenaline rush still active from when I casted it in the beginning as I'm talking to Sellus Gracious. Sunder provides other stat bonuses while you have it equipped. You can also gain it's stats infinitely/permanently with the same method but it's not helpful for saving time in this run.
