I always thought the term “speed run” could have done without the “speed” bit — tautology and all that. Calling yourself a “runner” though just sounds like you’re preparing to star in a Paul Michael Glaser film. Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yes, check out this 3:22 run of Bethesda’s Morrowind.
A Twitch user by the username “Fatalis_” is responsible for this blindingly-fast completion time of the developer’s expansive RPG. It involves reliving a certain wizard of his scrolls of Icarian Flight, before abusing the heck out of a glitch I believe is called the “Sunder/Keening” bug, which allows one to receive stratospheric attributes and skill levels.
From there it’s a matter of beating the turd out of Dagoth Ur, after which, hooray! Not as fun as playing the game for 100 hours and doing it the long-long-long way, but hey, whatever floats your silt strider.
