Neverwinter Nights any% speedrun in

[@senji8583]

Um, exactly who were competing, and for what particular record book? Also, who was the judge that was making sure you didn't use any cheats? Let me get this straight, you played through most boring dnd campaign ever created for about 50 times, because no one would care to compete for this campaign, just so you would have an unproven world record? I mean, dude, if you are really that fast, kudos, but play official cybersport. It's not rpg, but more interesting than playing though the same crappy campaign for 50 times.

[@sylinashi8761]

Ever notice how supremely angee manchildren do their best to *come off as* sassy, assertive, and condescending in hopes of baiting you into ignoring the fact that they're pounding their fists and filling their diaper on the inside? GJ on the record, man.

[@Davideixon3000]

Senji, stop crying if you can't finish the prelude.

[@justinwilliams3324]

and i guarantee it's not even on D&D rules, probably easy difficulty

[@somervillettv2272]

BAHAHAHAHA you actually commented this nonsense in the hopes of somebody taking it seriously? HAHAHAAH

[@joakorn]

woosh

[@АнтонВеретельников]

spent hundreds of hours on this game. This is one of the best childhood memories. The video is very cool, thanks

[@desther7975]

The speed at which you navigate the menus is positively inhuman.

[@Oppurtunafish]

dude I haven't seen this game being played for over 18 years, had the sudden urge to watch some, and here I am being absolutely blasted by nostalgia, the menus icons sfx music... so crazy! Amazing speedrun too X _ X

So weird, I was only just rewatching your old speedruns, then you uploaded a new one! Keep it up!

[@droumerda]

I just played this game for the first time in over 15 years. It tool me 52 hours to complete! You could finish the game 100 times in the time it took me to finish it once!

[@DeepeyeLV]

Wow unbelievable!! Would have never imagined this fantastic RPG to be this goodwilled towards speedrunning :) Awesome job!

[@mayrarapacossio4163]

This is one of my absolute favorite videogames! Thank you for sharing this speed run, it looks so funny how you ignore everybody 🙈♥️

[@hitlord]

Me searching for a speedrun for NWN: "must be at least 1 hour, maybe even 2, no way" This for a result. Good god. By the time you're done with the game, I'd dare say I'm barely out of the tutorial.

[@DavianLicanius]

Love it man, I couldn't even get a creature part in 31 minutes let alone beat the game lol

[@m0nky89]

I thought at around 18:00 the game is going to crash. Thank you for moving the cursor :D

[@gordonbman2911]

1 of my alltime favourtie games, i remember playing probably 100hours on my 1st playthrough :D great run :)

[@ByalGamer]

very good man it took me months to get to the last chapter! I love this game

[@errant_axolotl]

Would love to see your commentary run!

[@KurtvonLaven0]

Yes, seconded! I get the gist of making rampant use of clipping through doors, sequence breaks, and duplicating quest items, but some parts went way over my head. It was an impressive thing to behold in any case!

[@reifukaiyukikaze]

My favorite childhood....didn't know there was a speed run for this 😅

[@mochammadiqbalruhiat4239]

31 minutes I even can't finish on character creation. nice stuff!

[@indorilnerevar8716]

Would like to see commentary 👍

[@Wourghk]

You absolutely destroyed this game. Very impressive to see it broken with dupes and other sequence breaks, very nice menuing too.

Olen katsonut tämän runin ainakin kolme kertaa ja joka kerta se räjäyttää tajunnan. Elämästäni valui ainakin 3 vuotta tähän peliin 13-16 vuoden ikäisenä.

[@Deathwatch05]

This is a great run and very interesting to watch! I love the Meldanen skip in Blacklake especially. Do you stream on Twitch at all? I'd love to watch you practice or do runs on there. :)

[@mejcel]

My twitch username is the same as KZbin but I haven't streamed for 4 years now :) my upload speed isn't good enough unfortunately

[@ena2642]

nice run ! do you know if every tricks also work on enhanced edition?

[@mejcel]

I haven't tested it but from what I know yes, Enhanced Edition does mostly just cosmetic/UI changes.

[@bigmak7759]

Very cool!!!

[@roansythen]

Do you have a video or something discussing the choices you make and routes you take? I love NWN, but never considered a speed run and am curious about the ideas behind stuff.

[@faina_yevheniia]

Threre are a walk through doors, which are closed untill getting the key in a fight, a doubling of quest items and resting during save-loading, which are not so bad as previous points are. It is almost cheating.

[@yukas1ngas]

I have a friend who almost every game played till they broke. It was typical for him during play in economic simulator to achieve negative prices and negative quantities. So after sell of goods you have more and buying gives you more money. It's not cheating - some are wired this way ;)

[@Shelyshocker]

just started playing this game like 2 days ago and spent 22hrs just to finish the mission where u need to kill that desthy something i forgot the traitor name and get the cure and continue getting in the cave for some side quest for finding gorel wife now i think. thing is, its just my habit of hoarding stuff finding and looting till inventory full or encumbered so u just walk slowly and wont even mind it till u arrived at merchant or some place to sell it. just like i do in skyrim or fallout game~

[@suprbeat]

Mmm, Axe! I like the changes :D (yes, I ddin't watched previous run, sorry! ):

[@VerdictRequired]

Ah lol they got you right in the end

[@Cba409]

Dude make more

[@okcomputer9117]

Good run! Do you plan to make another HotU run in future?

[@mejcel]

Not at the moment as I'm once again too busy with real life, but somewhere in the future for sure... :)

[@okcomputer9117]

@@mejcel Thanks for answer! I will look forward to it

[@junkolover9518]

I wonder if it's possible to do a coop run of the first chapter, and switch to single at the end of it, continuing your solo play as usual after getting the cure, so that you'll be able to do the exp glitch? This will allow you to save a lot of time by splitting to peninsula/nest/blacklake/docks. All the exp loss will be compensated by the glitch, of course.

[@mejcel]

This is actually a really great idea. Correct me if I'm wrong but NWN doesn't have a "You must gather your party before venturing forth..." mechanic. Instead you're freely able to go as you like. That means it would be totally possible to do a coop run, and it would be useful even after the exp glitch as there's plenty of backtracking in the later chapters as well. Also, coop 100% could be even more fun. There's not even any solo 100% runs that have been attempted yet. So, if anyone is willing to do one, get in touch ;)

[@Sajiki]

@@mejcel yo i was actually thinking about doing co-op runs of this but didnt have anybody to do it with and also kind of shied away from the routing. but i spent some time thinking about it 2 years ago and thought it might not be that bad. no there is no mechanic from preventing you to do whatever you want which is the reason i thought it m ight be interesting

[@Firewolf_430]

I wonder how to perform the door passing glitch?

[@mejcel]

This game has two movement mechanics, keyboard (WASD) and mouse. To my best knowledge you're able to fool the collision detection mechanic of the game if you just try to use both movement mechanics simultaneously. It helps if you have lots of speed and your starting distance from the door is far enough. Basically click behind door, at some point start holding W, and then hope you get halfway inside the door. While inside the door click once more behind the door or press W again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnzVfnehod92bpo Here's an age old video back from when I explored this glitch for the first time. In all of these videos I'm starting way too close to the door than I would nowadays, but you can roughly see what inputs I perform.

[@Gregeruno]

this game is pretty damn hard still, don't know how i could complete it with poor english skills

[@WA-xx5ie]

How is this possible :O

[@VITAS874]

I can't figure out how to run as fast in the game 22:04

[@ronron9019]

[19:40] Is this a glitch? Or does this event really give that much xp?

[@rader354]

It's infinite XP loop. You can watch his explanatory video.

[@peterscott2662]

Doesn't invisibility get cancelled if you cast spells. It looks like you are cast Exp. Retreat after invisibility but it doesn't cancel invis.

[@mejcel]

Not in Neverwinter Nights. Only offensive spells dispel invisibility.

[@drPiotrNapierala]

is there a category without exp exploits?

[@rafaeldolfe]

Mejcel can you please let us know the length and girth of your great member. This run speaks volumes.

[@mihaillaga]

На последних секундах моб подошел убил XD

[@RickBomhof]

7:07 what is going on here? are you scumsaving? looks like cheating to me

[@macross3730]

This would have been a cool run, but you cant be lvl 20 in act 1. Thus you cheated lvls. Do vanilla speedrun instead..that would atlest tell how powerful your build is actually.. this is just stupid..why not just lvl999 at beginning..

[@rader354]

He's not cheating. He glitched the dialogue in the Helm's Hold.

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

Honestly pinning that other comment, pretty pathetic. At least the run was good

[@drake4884]

i dont get he get's to walk throw closed doors how is that possiable, and even if it is a glitch, its not like he are playing the game he is cheating to get from a to b using glitches of the game i dont see how that makes him good at the game for if the glitch is fixed with the doors then what ???

[@Deathwatch05]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedrun "Glitches and sequence breaks were historically not allowed within speedruns, such as in Twin Galaxies,[18] but more recently they have fallen into common use,[12] with runs without glitches either being performed in separate "glitchless" categories.[18][19] Some glitches, however, are still not allowed even in glitched categories." Glitches are common in speedruns and are often quite difficult to do even though they seem to present a significant advantage. :) What you seem to want is a glitchless speedrun, which is fair enough, but please don't try to denigrate speedrunners who use glitches as untalented.

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

Its any%. Its all about getting to the credit screen asap. I promise this guy is amazing at this game. He'd walk through the game with a regular build.

[@PsyMOONze]

How did you open the doors without clicking on them?
