The hero of a speedrun would be completely terrifying. They fly through wall, instantly kill people with lockpicks, and seem to be able to predict the future. What's really scary is that they'll do *whatever* will accomplish their goals the quickest, murdering people they could easily persuade in the name of expediency. They will throw their allies down mountain. They have godlike power but lack any sense of morality.
A casual, completionist gamer playing an epic RPG: Peasant: OH MY GOSH, THE GIANT EVIL DEATH RAY IS GOING TO WIPE OUT THE PLANET, WHY AREN"T YOU HEROES DOING ANYTHING!? Hero: Shut up, peasant, I'm breeding chickens, this is very important business. Then I have to finish collecting shiny rocks and cook the perfect meal for that darn noble. A speedrunner playing an epic RPG: King: You slaughtered 3 towns, left an entire country to die, stole all the ancient relics from the Elves, lied your way through 3 cities and let the dragon eat my daughter. What do you have to say for yourself!? Hero: I saved the world, didn't I? And I did it before lunch.
I've seen this game run at least 10 times by now and even with mostly understanding how the tricks work, seeing it with the stat menu makes it so much clearer what's happening when. That was an amazing idea and probably helped a ton of new people not get lost.
Elder Scrolls speedruns are easily some of the best. While other games have you styling on bosses and sprinting like mad with the occasional sequence break, Elder Scrolls is just constant game abuse and I love it.
I absolutely love the fact that Bethesda games are held together with duct tape. During normal play, you might experience a bug or two, but usually nothing worse than a game crash. If you want to, though, you can absolutely abuse the hell out of these games. I think it's charming, and allows for some really interesting (if unintended) gameplay. Also, the modding scene is second to none (except maybe minecraft), because of how open the game engine is.
Kassandra M it was run at 5 AM. Its sad but unavoidable in a 24 hour marathon that there are periods with little audience. Luckily even at its lowest the stream had at least 90k viewers.
good commentary. i miss systems and design like this in games, i think they could be so much more if they weren't dumbed down (not the same thing as accessible) by shareholders and publishers
Will you break the time continuum for a few points of speed, kill random people to make stuff go faster and just break the laws of reality in general? The choice is yours
considering how much stuff is in this game, and how old it is it looks stunning... and if you have the skill for it you can make it look even better with mods (sadly i lack those skills)
good times.. i used to play this all the time as a kid.. only made it to a few towns but still loved acting like i lived in the world and killing someone to live in there home in the first city and put my things on the tables.. good times
i recall an old 7 minute speed run of this game. was that TAS? i dont recall it being marked as such, unless it WAS and i just didnt know what TAS was yet.
If you do the stat glitch he did near the start, you can just get keening and sunder (with Lockpick if you want) and just kill dagoth ur and beat the game right after making your character.

Well, the hero does have a terrible personality: 43 at the end speaks by itself
Doesn't it sound very fair lore-wise though? Aren't early Daedric princes and Tribunal Gods did pretty much the same throughout the history?
The Nerevarie truly is a terrifying god
Judge, jury, and executioner. Just not in that order.

I thought this was supposed to be a speedrun but this is just normal morrowind gameplay.

This guy beats the game in 28:59 whilst I'd be still in the character select screen trying to justify not playing a dark elf for the 100th time
why would you do that? Dark elfs for life
they still call you outsider even if you're a dark elf. there's your justification lol
Search for the Morrowind 4 minute run.
@@EminAnimE1 it's all quest, not any%
That Hodd Toward fellow seems like a trustworthy and respectable follow.
Buy it
You'd be wrong, you'd be terribly wrong.
Why, I'd consider selling him my potion for -1000 gold
You can’t trust him. Daggerfall Covenant peasent...

I don't know what it is about that name, but it just works.
Starting the main quest with Keening and Sunder already in your possession is hilarious to me

*enters prison*
oh, they're going to kill me
*runs a million miles an hour to the end*
*completely deadpan* well, they tried
so sad to see this amazing speedrun had such little public...
5am central time it was ran so yeah.
And nearly always 100k watching.
This game is done every year also
@@ryansrandomvids Ya that always happens with early morning runs. No matter how awesome they are.
Thanks for the explanation. I did not know this. Webcam audiences are needed! @@ryansrandomvids
LEGALIZE SKOOMA
STOP RIGHT THERE YOU N'WAH
It's the story of a Redguard that went so fast he *ASCENDED* thru time and space.
CHIM and dragonbreaks, so this speedrun is lore-friendly.
He still has the best Redguard voice, too.
I love how as GDQ has gone on, more and more quotes pop up that are hilarious without context.

That was great. Good commentary and a funny runner and couch.
*The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind III*
Morrowind has speedrunning? My horizons are broadened again by the brave recordrunners who elevate video gaming to sport.
Yeah, Morrowind speedruns have been around for like 15 years. I remember reading about how to beat it in just a few minutes waaay back.
You can beat the game in literally 5 mins.
Hodd Toward
aah yes my favorite game, awesome run!
7:27 "I like how that guy said why walk when you can run." *facepalm* Way to butcher it
Always a wonderful run :D
This truly was bethesda's prime..... good run
This run is godly
Lots of information now thank you gdq :)
What. A. God.
Gotta give this game credit, any game made today abused this hard would crash immediately and repeatedly
his character walks like Mr. Krabs from spongebob
CavemanDCJ on the couch!!!
Love this game! Awesome!
Rare footage of Shaggy unleashing 1% of his full power.
That was an awesome run, i love Morrowind
Love this game. Never finished it or done half the quests even xD
it’s a shame the crowd was empty
It was 5am. Everyone was sleeping.
But there was always at least 80,000 people watching on Twitch.

Archariat and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
TIL: a lock pick is the ultimate weapon, after a couple of buffs.
Love Morrowind runs!!

Outlander!
Outlander!
Outlander!
Why walk when you can ride?
Outlander!
8 year old me watched my character run across the plains in 3rd person mode in AWE of the graphics, thinking, "it doesn't get any better than this!"

top notch couch
14:22 And the world was never the same again
I didn't know there was a bow in this game! At least I don't remember, it was 27 years ago 😭
Why do i hear The dovahkin song at about 20 minute Mark in The run?🤔
Have you ever played any Elder Scrolls game besides Skyrim?
@@Cinemaphile7783 Probably trolling

I know it's played out but in all honesty doesn't the water in this game look slightly better at times than fallout 76
It does look better.
considering how much stuff is in this game, and how old it is it looks stunning... and if you have the skill for it you can make it look even better with mods (sadly i lack those skills)
I remember playing it for the first time and remarking how awesome the water looked. Honestly, it held up pretty well for years.
good times.. i used to play this all the time as a kid.. only made it to a few towns but still loved acting like i lived in the world and killing someone to live in there home in the first city and put my things on the tables.. good times
Gotta go fast!
awww ye, speeeeeeeeeediboi!!!!
59 seconds sound nice
Wait, it's a speedrun? You mean it's not how you normally play the game?
Interesting theory...
i recall an old 7 minute speed run of this game. was that TAS? i dont recall it being marked as such, unless it WAS and i just didnt know what TAS was yet.
That was an any% run. This is all mainline quests.
It may have been an any % run. This was an 'all main quests' run, so there's lots more to do.
This here is a speedrun in the category all main quests completed, while faster speedruns are just killing the end boss.
AAAHHHH yes!
Watched the older videos, one of em included old Newgrounds memes.
Several years ago i saw a speedrun of morrowind in only 7min. Was it a TAS or something got patched since ?
That is any%, this is all main quests
If you do the stat glitch he did near the start, you can just get keening and sunder (with Lockpick if you want) and just kill dagoth ur and beat the game right after making your character.
fuck yes
that capacity crowd tho
The room is soooo empty lol
speedrun petscop2
WoW, the place is packed. Did anyone ever do a Jackass the game speedrun?
Should have named him usain bolt
👍
they actually said it lol the gift that keeps on given lol
wuuaaaaaaat ? 🥴
Reguard runs slightly faster.... Trihard
