Skyrim legendary difficulty glitchless 1:28:08 World record speedrun

Single-segment speedrun of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim played on the hardest difficulty on 26.10.2015 by quho aka knifechamber. Timing starts when you gain control of character and ends when Alduin is defeated in Sovngarde. Finally a run I'm totally happy with. Only real mistake was not leveling up at Thalmor Embassy due to being greedy (wanted to save the level up for stamina at Riften). But oh well. Also I have never gotten shot by the Falmer archer in a run before (only in practice, that's why quick save), but now I got shot twice :/. And lastly, Thugs appeared at the first Alduin fight, which made me lose loads of time. Other than that, I'm very happy with the run. You can't really do much about hired thugs appearing or not, rng is rng. For now I think I'm going to keep a little pause from speedrunning this game :) Glitchless means to complete the game without using any glitches. This is (to list some): -No OOB and any kind of clipping -No object jumping (bucket jump, yolo bucket) -No use of quicksave/quickload for skipping dialogs -No use of unlimited stamina (torch/qs&ql glitch) For this reason for example I didn't get Throat of the world waypoint early on horse as it is quite impossible to get up there without clipping. Q:Shoudn't enemies disable wait & fast travel? A:I run out of enemies' sight before wait or fast travel. At some points the line between being able to fast travel or not is very close. Q:What's with all that quicksaving? A:I'd rather quicksave 100 times than lose a great run like this ;). Being 4:30 mins ahead is super. Q:Why pause on loading screens? A:I use program called Livesplit for timing, it has an extension which pauses automatically during loadscreens. You have to do that, or else people with bad computer and thus long loading screens could never compete with rich people who have fast computers. In sportslike competing, skill is the thing, not money. I use OBS for streaming at Twitch and Livesplit for splits. Game was played on the latest Steam version 1.9.32.0.8 and no mods, cheats or console was used (aka Vanilla gameplay). tags: any% wr walkthrough playthrough guide speed run HD no mod glitch exploit

1. The very first time I played this, while it took knife 1:28:08 to complete the game, it took me about that long to FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BLOODY MAP WAS! I was so confused because I couldn't fdigure out where it was. After ages of playing using the Paper map in the box, I realized, when I opened my inventory to level up...Oh look! There's the FUCKING MAP!
2. What is that glowing bow he got at the beginning
3. Just.... wow. the speedrun you did is the time i do to get into ustengrav.... wow
4. This dude bunny hops like its csgo wtf
5. I really love the "timeline":
   Helgen -> Windhelm -> Bound bow -> Bleak falls -> 1st Dragon - Ustengrav -> 2nd Dragon -> ALDUIN DEAD
6. it was beat in 38:04 by someone so fuck iff
7. Skyrim + Edge of Tomorrow
   XD
8. 42:18 that's you call a sick dodge
   also the hired thugs approching the dovahkiin during the battle against Alduin and talking about teaching a lesson xDDD
9. Faendal: "I never signed up for this shit"
10. Wow. Aaaaaaaaaalmost everythinghere was perfect. Well done
11. 1:04:16, those thugs are the really badass'es of the entire game, they get to the throat of the world because someone paid them ''hardly 500 gold'' they see the dragon ignore it, and keep walking
12. most boring speed run ever lol
13. 1:04:13 moments like these are why I love the Elder Scrolls series. "I don't care that you're in the middle of a ferocious fight with the World Eater but some dude paid us 200 gold to kill you"
14. Incrível como uma pessoa já sabe boa parte desse jogo gigantesco ;-; parabéns!
    Congratulations!
    ^^
15. 1:04:23 thugs claiming bounty in the middle of a battle with an ancient god dragon
16. Should have just got a mod that allowed unlimited sprint since that's basically what you did.
17. gg bro
18. Glitchless but you walked on top of the dragon at 0:10, went through the wall to Helgen Keep. What IS considered a glitch in speedruns? Because in the first 10 seconds it seems contradictory.
19. how does he play without the game constantly glitching out. On mine i keep getting like this non existent water every where bug.
20. 20:36 how is this glitchless?
    you're not supposed to fast travel while inside caves, right?
