New category idea from an aspiring speedrunner
1 year ago

I'm VERY new to speed running, and I figured to start out with the first game I ever truly loved. But from my limited knowledge of speed runs, I think it's a big missed opportunity for a run to complete any romance quest as fast as possible. Similar concept is the GetLaid% in Breath of The Wild, or the Marriage category in Skyrim. I'm thinking of calling it Bard% I've never tried getting multiple romance quests completed in a single save file, but if it's possible then maybe an all romance quests run called Harem% or something along those lines might be a neat additional category

I've already messed around a bit with routing romance%, the fastest one to Romance is Solas, everyone else requires you to go through the first few main quests to progress them. I haven't been able to romance multiple people in the same playthrough (without reverting to an early save ofc), although if you do find a way to do that let us know! That would apply to Max Quests as well. Here's the route I have for Romance% right now if that's something you're interested in running: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-H_uUrr31N45XOyDKEIwArd2ZmObNmxQTtYFEp5Z0Qw/edit?usp=sharing

Perhaps instead of a Harem%, a "sleeping around" category would be a suitable replacement. I believe that despite only being allowed to have 1 relationship at a time, you can still break it off to lock it off and be able to start a new relationship. Working title: Heartbreaker%, where you complete all romance quests and have to break up with everyone.

I have ran such a category in Dragon Age Origins in the past. The reason we do not have it as an official category is that its a 'just for fun' category. Only when multiple people are interested in speedrunning it does Dragon Age Origins add a category. idk what the rules are for DA:I. But I assume Romance% is the most you might get here as well. I've still had a ton of fun running All Romances in DA:O, just have fun with it, too :) Not everything is needed to be recorded for posterity
