Glitchless Speedrun of Fallout 4 (Heavy Commentary)...
Wanted to have a change of pace for how I presented this new world record, seeing as doing heavy commentary in my usual format for this run would be almost two hours long. The run itself was pretty decent, not perfect and definitely improvable. Not too sure I want to grind this category though, will probably only improve upon this run if new strats are found or my run is contested.

do you like this format for long runs? or do you want me to do heavy commentary over a full two hour run? lmk and also follow me on twitter @tomatoanus

I really love heavy commentary speedruns, and you're among the best out there in my opinion. This was a great video, and if it's easier to do your commentary this way I'm all for it, but personally I prefer seeing the full run. Either way, you make a commentary and I'll happily watch it!

[@IAmThatDrone]

"We use a Big Gun skill check to force him to hand over his cybernetic enhancement" *just shoots him with a nuke*

If every speedrunner did explanations like this detailing why and how skips are done the speedrunning community would be so much better for it. This is a fantastic video, thank you.

[@notahazard]

I love your heavy commentary runs, I always learn a lot about speedrunning, and wish more people did this. Also, I really liked this format for your long runs, keep at it!

Not gonna lie, the sight of you sprinting up the stairs to see your dying son, just to immediately unload your pistol into his chest was funnier than I expected.

2:32 "You have to draw the line in the Sand somewhere. You gotta make a statement. You gotta wake up and ask yourself, what is glitchless willing to put up with today? Not this."

[@isntyournamebacon]

This video is old but. At 15:50 talking about the noise Nick was making. Its a bug that is triggered by fast traveling when your companion is doing a animation that has a sound attached to it. It can happen to any NPC but is worse with companion's as they stay with you for some time. Happens most often with the armor workbench. It can even have sounds stuck to things near the NPC that was making the noise. The rusted car shell between red rocket and sanctuary in my last play had a gun reload noise stuck on it. You can prevent it from happening to companions by raising and lowering your gun right before fast traveling. Also related is the companion stuck smoking a cigarette bug. Fast traveling when a npc is doing a animation bugs the game out alot apparently. If a companion is stuck smoking a cigarette, take them to pipers house and let them sandbox around. let them finish the smoke, and they get the animation unstuck.

I did really enjoy how you presented this run, spliting it down into interesting parts, but conversely I wouldn't mind a longer video as I've been using your comentated speedruns as a sort of background noise to tune out of everything else and focus, so far I've really loved your runs and I love your tone of voice the whole way through. Thank you for making these amazing videos and keep on getting better!

[@alexwade9888]

Great vid. Well explained with occasional humour. A like from me.

[@ChubbsRN]

Really enjoyed this video format. For those of us that watch but dont do speedruns, explanations on the whats and whys of actions taken are essential to enjoying the experience. Grats on a great run.

[@FrostedFlakes1800]

[@masterp443]

A noob run of f4 would be days long

[@TERMINATOR3900]

Daved Thompson The way FriendlyBaron does it, he only shows the missions and moving from one mission to another, not including sidequests or anything, and speeding up the gameplay for either speedrun or casual to keep them in roughly the same areas to make it easier to compare.

[@supersandfish1999]

I really enjoy long-form content, having someone go into depth on how they do something adds another dimension to the game play i'm watching. They try to do this in things like AGDQ and such but to varying degrees of success, because its on the spot with speedrunners as the commentators they may not be used to public speaking leading to awkward and ultimately boring commentary. While this is the exact opposite, not sure if it was scripted but the articulacy and constant commentary on what you were doing was entertaining and interesting. Very nice video and well earned sub.

[@jamietaylor8663]

"Notice the timer is paused when it's loading" I'd the speed running equivalent of "I move away from the mic to break in"

[@Asterix9469]

The shortened "highlighted" version is great for people that have maybe seen the run before but giving them the option to see the full run is great as well. The best of both worlds.

[@chi0town0king]

I wouldn't consider the quick save/load to avoid fall damage in FO3/NV a Glitch, I would consider it an Exploit. In my book a Glitch is breaking the mechanics of the game and an Exploit is using existing mechanics in unintended ways.

[@NiSiSuinegEht]

I really enjoyed this format, and think it gives you the opportunity to lay out your thoughts and strategies in a clearer manner than you could during the run itself. Also, having the condensed version of the run lets you strip out the more tedious sections, which makes for a more entertaining viewing experience.

[@hastisc]

I really like this form of video, but I also enjoy the idea of you going over the whole speedrun with commentary. However, that's more because I find you entertaining, and is not as much driven by the amount of infomation gained as it is about personal entertainment.

[@hastisc]

This highly edited format seems to have a lot more information compressed into a smaller period of time, making it more readily approachable by those that are just beginning to view your channel.

[@chester__83]

absolutely impressive video, thanks for showing the possibilities! I loved fallout 4, played it through twice with ~200h of gameplay each time. so, clearly the direct opposite of what you did. but you showed some kind of deep knowledge about this game and thought out everything. that's a real speedrun! not these other videos I saw, bugging through walls and sh*t like that. you made it very far and thanks a lot for showing "the other way" to play this great game.
