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

I'm not downplaying speedruns here, but I will downplay the "World Record" and "Speedrun" part of this post.

Speedruns, as has been pointed out by a few, utilize glitches and tricks to get past things that you as a player were not meant to. Be that killing things way above your level with loads of barrels/enviromentals, or however you achieve this.

Running as fast as you can to tap a flag? I would not consider that a speed run. You haven't beaten anything. You ran through a zone and hit the edge of said zone. The important quest chain doesn't even properly resolve in EA as far as I know.

I didn't watch the video, but got enough in context clues of what is happening, and that is not even an any% speedrun.

You set your own goal, and then met that goal. Congratulations. You set a World Record for a goal you made up
