Okay, that makes a lot of sense! I didn't realise it was tied specifically to the expansions. That makes more sense. Ta for the info! Was very confused at that point in your run. Skipping Kogoruhn saves on tonnes of travelling too.

I was messing round with some Orc strategies with the Daedric Battle Axe you can get from Dram Bero, but seeing as the magic resist shenanigans are allowed with the Boots, that's going to be way faster. Should be able to reduce my time massively!

I noticed also that that NMG Any% run of yours isn't listed under the category in the leaderboards. Is it due to the difficulty being at lowest?

Jelly: Sorry, poor wording there! Meant the Steam version, given how it can basically never compete with the 1.0 in any category (save DLC ones I suppose) thanks to a few key changes. But it looks like some stuff is possible in GOTY regardless. Just sad more of this absurdly broken game never gets showed off.

Volvulus: Thanks for the info. Might have to give that run a go. Will check out the discord tomorrow.

Also, I had a question about your All Main Quest - No Major Glitches. How are you able to sequence break to the Cavern of Incarnate early? I thought this was impossible on GOTY? Is there something I missed?

Hello fine folks. Been dabbling with Any% on the GOTY version on and off for the past year and have routed something fairly speedy together, obviously a hell of a lot slower than the 1.0 patch version.

Given the relative difficulty of acquiring a patchless copy of the game, is there (or is there any interest in) a separate category for the GOTY addition with all patches?

Been dabbling in the All Main Quests No Major Glitches rout too, only to just find my time woefully inadequate when compared to Volvulus' stellar run.
