NG+ Any% Video Tutorial (In Progress)

A video tutorial where I go over the current route for NG+ Any% w/ DLC. This is a work in progress, and the full guide which will be more tightly edited and include guides on setting up the game for speedrunning, tech, etc. will be out Soon™.

Rebinding text skipping to mouse

Rebinding text skipping to mouse is not that simple, so here's an explanation.

¤ You will want to have rebound previous/next weapon prior to doing this (the default mousewheel binds) if you haven't already, and make sure all your other keybindings are set up properly as well. 

¤ Download coalesced.ini editor from http://social.bioware.com/project/1854/#details  (this just makes it easier to find the specific bindings and such rather than having to pore through a notepad file).

¤ Open Editor, go to BioInput->SFXGame.SFXGameModeCinematic and change either of the two bindings  (or both) to MouseScrollDown or MouseScrollUp (this allows cutscene skipping to be rebound)

¤ Go to BioInput->SFXGame.SFXModeConversation and change the first option (PCConvSkip) to MouseScrollDown or MouseScrollUp

¤ Press F5 with editor open to save the changes.

Routes

This is a route that works for either NG+ or NG, presuming you have the optimal DLCs:

Lazarus Station
Freedom's Progress
(On Omega, Recruit Zaeed)
Omega: Recruit Mordin
Omega: Recruit Garrus
Prison Ship Purgatory: Recruit Jack
Korlus: Acquire Grunt
Horizon
(When back on ship: talk to Jacob to acquire loyalty mission, go down to engine room to release Grunt)
Tali's Recruitment Mission
Rosetta Nebula-mass relay sytem-3rd planet from sun (Joab) N7 Mission
Eagle Nebula-Amun System-4th planet from sun (Neith) N7 Mission
Hourglass Nebula-Ploitari System-2nd planet from sun (Zanethu) N7 Mission
Hourglass Nebula-Faryar System-2nd planet from sun (Daratar) N7 Mission
Collector Ship Mission (If NG, acquire assualt rifle training here)
Derelict Reaper Mission
Caleston Rift-Solveig System-moon N7 Mission
Omega Nebula-Fathar System-1st planet from sun N7 Mission
Travel to Omega 4 Relay, attempt to enter (triggers Joker sequence)
Enter Omega 4 Relay
(Endgame)

In no DLC runs, everything is the same except for the stretch between Horizon and Collector Ship missions. Instead, do this

(When back on ship talk to Jacob + release grunt, but no need to travel to Citadel)
Tali's Recruitment Mission
Rosetta Nebula-mass relay sytem-3rd planet from sun (Joab) N7 Mission
Samara's Recruitment Mission
Eagle Nebula-Amun System-4th planet from sun (Neith) N7 Mission
Hourglass Nebula-Faryar System-2nd planet from sun (Daratar) N7 Mission

Also, you will want to pick up a few additional upgrades on the NG+ no DLC route: Across from Mordin's room in the clinic on Omega is one medi-gel upgrade. A second can be purchased on Illium just outside Liara's room. Finally, after acquiring these two, purchase the "Trauma Module" upgrade from the research terminal on your ship. This allows you to do a small trick on the bubble part of the final mission (see Tentaclepie's run for an example).
