Just saw this and was wondering how long it would take to get posted.I don't think I could ever beat the Main Quest that fast.

You can finish the game at level 4?

:facepalm:

Yeah, I was hoping you'd have to be a really high level to beat the ultimate mega boss at least. I mean did you guys slay dragons at level 1? No chance of a sudden last minute level scaling system alteration is there?

Great, the main quest is obviously really short and you don't even need to be good to complete it considering you only need to be level 4.

Aahaha, awesome

People always judge by time and forget THAT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ITS A SPEED RUN THEY TOOK NOTES AND FIND IT INSTANTLY OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE FAST.

I'm more concerned about the levels they completed it at. It tells me the scaling might be a little overdone, at least for the main quest, which I find displeasing.

it was a matter of time before the

"THEY BEAT THE GAME AT LEVEL 4 *RAAAAAAAAGE* *FACEPALM* *RAAAAAAAAAAAGE*"

crowd came

they did the same in fallout 3

there's a guy that beat morrowind in 12 minutes

and another who beats baldurs gate 2 in 5

these are not your average people, they know the game inside and out, especially on how to bypass the rules

It didn't occur to you that they obviously "ran" through the game? .-

You haven't seen the Morrowind speedrun have you? Or the Oblivion one? Probably not Fallout 3's either? Morrowind speedrun is 5 minutes.

^ exactly at the very least this thread will be funny to read but again ........pointless

One was a QA and the other a dev. They've played through the game like 50 times.

Skip all dialog, fast travel, zip through dungeons avoiding fights as much as possible picking up only what you know you absolutely need to win... Yeah, two hours sounds... quite long actually.

(im sure Pete would love to comment)
The guys doing this stuff pretty much have the main quest nailed down and know how to do it. Not really sure how they did in Fallout or Oblivion, but I would figure it would be roughly the same results (low level, few hours)

it's a speed run! They have planned it out, they skip all dialogue, they don't stop to look at the view, they don't talk to npcs... Essentially they don't play the huge majority of the game! Don't get worried

skyrim will fill your lifes, not 2hours!
