Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Baldur's Gate III Speedrun World Record

I didn't watch the video but on speed runs in gerneral, or attempting to speed run, these are very valuable to developers.
Just look at the reaction from the ID devs to the Doom Eternal speed run, its gold. Yes that utilzes glitches and shows how to break the physics, but for an RPG game it shows how easily the game can be marginalise, stripped down to its basics and helps the devs make informed decisions on whether they want to ammend their desig, or just laugh the speedrun off.

I see no need for anyone in this thread to downplay this form of gaming. I mean I one for one really dislike speed running games. I always enjoy taking much longer, becasue the game for me is not about completing, but enjoying the experience, each time I play. Yes Speed runners have usually looked in every nook and cranny, experienced every chat looking for quicker options etc... so they have played a lot(!), but still, it's not for me and that's cool, I still applaud those who can do these things. If I don't want to watch their efforts, I spimply choose not to click on the content.
