Necroing this thread again cos I was bored and decided to play it again:

I almost always get Speech, Survival, and Melee Weapons by picking the first answers, but occasionally I'll get Barter and/or Energy Weapons and have to switch them out. It doesn't seem like I accidentally hit any other answers, so does this just happen sometimes to everyone? I'm not a fast enough runner that a few seconds switching my tag skills is the end of the world, but it's definitely annoying. Is there any way to ensure it doesn't occur?

I know this post is two years old, but I thought this seemed like a really fun idea, and honestly this is probably the only "world record" I will ever be able to claim to hold (there don't seem to be any runs other than the one posted here, but I may have been searching for the wrong things, so if you know of any others please link them), so here's my attempt at the run. I actually just re-read the original post while uploading the video, and realised I was also meant to do the Atomic Wrangler, so it technically can't be considered the world record anyway. I will probably follow up with another run which includes the last casino, but for now this is it. The video has no audio because I was watching a stream the whole time and couldn't be bothered to commentate or set up OBS to only get New Vegas' audio, although maybe I'll do that before I add in the Atomic Wrangler for next time.

I already tried to post it once, but forgot that the video wasn't done processing, so I was planning to delete and repost it, but it's taking incredibly long to process, so I'm just going to edit this post with the link when it processes, and maybe I'll also have the full run done by then.

Edit: Here's the link:

Edit 2: The second run including the Atomic Wrangler is finished, with a time of 44:04.35, most of the reason it was only 2 minutes longer, despite adding an entire casino, I think is down to me knowing where to go this time around, but I definitely could've saved more time, and I'm definitely not going to be the person best equipped for this if it takes off. That being said, the link is here for as soon as it is done processing:
