Just got my first PB in a run, a 1:11:26 in Thieves Guild (with horrible load times and unskipable cutscenes), it's one of the most consistent runs on console so far. It's exciting, although sad that I didn't record it (soon, hopefully). Will update on other runs as I try them out. XD It also includes a weird glitch, useless but fun. When you talk to Karliah after Mercer kills you, the blurry effect continues because of the Sanctum Skip. If you wait a bit after talking to Enthir, the effect wears off, but I was going fast and didn't wait, so I traveled to the stables to go to Markarth. The blur effect continued, and it skipped the getting on the carriage animation, which seemed weird. It got worse. When I get to Markarth stables, the camera is locked in third person but looking downwards, forced, and I can't run forward (because it's forced at an angle towards the floor). I couldn't get to the Keep. Had to load autosave (safety strat, plus console freezes are still a thing)... Had a good laugh.
Hello everyone, a speedrunning noob here hoping the console (Xbox 360) community is alive and active. Noticed that the only category with actual records is any%, which motivates me even more to participate. Got lots of questions, but would appreciate tips, suggestions and any type of input first. FYI, only tried any% glitchless legendary (so much work left to do) and thieves guild (which I was able to complete without timing, no idea how to do splits without a pc or laptop, which I don't have... IGT was 1h31mins though). Hoping to read your comments soon. XD
