Skyrim Beaten In Just Over Two Hours

[Azmael Silverlance]

So knowing tricks to speed past quests in ok. but that means also the difficulty is also messed up i dont know finishing a game in 2 hour that took months and months to make....meh
I usually always spend extra time finishing games compared to my friends Because i take in the game world as much as possible.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Not that I would even attempt to try something like that, but that's impressive. Still, I can't help but feel that a speed-run through a game like Skyrim is 'doing it wrong'. Games like that are meant for you to take your time in and explore. I mean, he probably missed a substantial amount of content by doing that.

And somebody seems to be interesting in marrying an argonian...

Eh, someone finished Morrowind in 15 minutes once. Windwalker scrolls do that. In other news, they'd better bring levitation back.

I don't understand how it's a good thing that he beat the game so fast. It's like someone getting an award for breaking a matress in two days. Sure, he was probably having sex with an elephant on it, but why would you buy a matress if you know it can get worn out in just two days?

I know, right? What good did they think it would be to let everyone know ahead of the launch that it's possible to finish the game that fast? Haven't we already got enough games that can be blazed through in a handful of hours?

Probably the dumbest bit of pre-launch marketing I've seen in a long, long time.

Ok that's impressive and all, but why would you want to finish a game like Skyrim or Fallout 3 that quickly? I mean you can't really enjoy it if you're speeding through it.

How did he beat Skyrim in 2 hours? And how did he beat Fallout 3 in 75 Minutes? It takes me that long to walk from one town to the next! Bloody hell....

 

[Bealzibob]

I have put a couple of hundred hours into Oblivion and I've never seen the ending to it, I havn't even got half way through the main quest. Several characters over multiple years and I never thought of bothering with it. Same with Morriwind now that I think about it.

So this doesn't really affect me but it is comforting reading the comparison to FO3's time. Sounds like I'll have alot to look forward to if I ever bother with the main quest line xD

 

[WeAreStevo]

Wow, that is really a fast time. I'm guessing it's because he....

wait....

Dynasty of Lizard children?!?

I'm going to pre-order this right now

OT: for serious though, that's lightning fast. I am positive he only got the score because he knew the exact path to and from each location etc.

I'm looking forward to this more and more

 

[Oly J]

wow, that's impressive by any standard, but I intend to take my time with Skyrim and enjoy every minute of it

 

[AngryFrenchCanadian]

Am I supposed to be impressed? I'm more worried that the game will be terrible. I still play oblivion occasionally, will I be able to play this that long? probably not. Oblivion's story was longer. I've played through more than enough times.

But... But... Speedrun!

central story in RPGs is always a breeze to go through. I'm sure you could beat Fallout 3s story even quicker if you know where to look for your dad right off the bat.

 

[Zhukov]

So, all that hype and it turns out to be even shorter than your average Call of Duty campaign?

Fuck that.

Pardon me folks, I need to cancel my pre-order.

[The_root_of_all_evil]

MMmmmmm...pie.

Sorry, was there something else I missed?

 

[Blind Sight]

So if I beat this guy's speedrun, will Todd Howard mail me a pie?

 

[DanielBrown]

Pretty sad actually. I had hoped they put a bit more effort into the main story...
Oh well, the game will last me for a long while in either case.

remember its a speedrun, read the article

 

[Hamish Durie]

The best speed run ever still has to be the seven minute Morrowind Run.

ninja's grrrrrr

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

I haven't played any Elder Scrolls games (Please don't hate me) and this kinda worries me. I couldn't finish Fallout 3 because I was bored to death of looking at the dead-brown-green landscape, and the quests (Main and secondary) weren't enough to keep me going. Do you think Skyrim will be anything like Fallout 3 :/

This. I have over 300 hours played in Oblivion and I've never finished the main quest

Yeah, I read it(sort of), but I don't think it makes that much of a difference.

Do you think Skyrim will be anything like Fallout 3 :/

No, Skyrim will be mainly forests and mountains. The Elder Scrolls series are fantasy RPGs in a medieval setting, so it won't have much in common with Fallout 3 as far as looks go.
