You know it's a good speedrun when you can understand absolutely nothing that is happening

[@bobbobert9379]

When you're aware of how some of the tricks work, even just a few, it becomes much more logical all the sudden. The 2 main things are that there's a horse dismount glitch that gives a lot of speed to the charater. Additionally you can transfer speed through saves with some quicksaving/quickloading tricks. So he does that to move around fast. Which is why he keeps loading the save with the horse and then back the the save he was at.

[@bobbobert9379]

@@LilChaosSapphire That horse dismount gives the actor a shit ton of speed, he then uses load warping and other menu related glitches to transfer that speed to an actor at a different location/on a different save. If you mean when he goes to Bleak falls barrow I think that was to get things to sell for the 250 gold to Raven Rock? Dunno how he was casting firebolt without losing magika tho maybe he got a scroll and I didn't notice lol

[@ZeroTheHunter]

I like how the dragonborn achieves CHIM the moment he step outside of the horse. This is lore accurate.

[@magentazero266]

Kinda wanna ask, what's the most difficult speedrun you've had to do in terms of pure timing? I'd imagine most of these glitches and exploits require incredibly precise timing to get them correct. Which one took you the most tries to get the record?

[@Yoshi23ii]

I think he has the unpatch version

[@Waz]

I'd say All Guilds was probably the most difficult overall, it has so many different precise tricks and glitches and requires a ton of game knowledge. Second would be Main Quest, it has the most difficult more condensed sections, like the first 7 minutes in particular. The one that took the most tries I've done would be Oblivion Any%, not because it's hard but because it's RNG hell.

[@magentazero266]

@@Waz That's really interesting! I think that watching you break down your world record main quest video was really cool because you do a lot of things, like you mentioned, that aren't clear what the purpose is. Horse-tilting for example you use a lot and you can see it's for velocity, but something like grabbing a bowl in the Helgen dungeon is strange to me because it's not clear why. Your videos are really fascinating to watch though, awesome job.

[@qwopiretyu]

@@magentazero266 bowls and buckets can be used to clip through geometry, combine that with horse tilt for stored velocity and you got Skyrim equivalent to BLJ

[@ASKaaron32]

this was so fast, i didnt get the part where he suddenly became able to shoot unlimited super strong fireballs with dual casting, all the other "moves" i remember from the "can you beat skyrim without walking" that one was hilarious and it explained every freaking trick in skyrim existence, subjectively ... were the fireballs just some scroll duplication and putting them on hotkey?

[@BlastedUniqueIdentifiers]

Late to the party. But there's an inventory glitch where you trick the game into thinking the chest's inventory is your inventory, similar to the vendor glitch. That way you can equip the scrolls while they are still in the chest. This lets you use the scroll without actually possessing it, which breaks the check for whether to unequip it after use.
