    Just to let you guys know that I just finished a speedrun after my SOA one 2 years ago. (http://speeddemosarchive.com/BaldursGate2.html)

    A very good watch.

    I don't have enough time to watch the whole thing right now, so I just watched the first one. 'Twas alright, you were fairly speedy, but there were several points where you hesitated for a bit (eg finding the right spell and when you pointlessly ran out of Gromnir's castle to go to the Pocket Plane). Overall not bad, but not exceptional either.

    Nice job :thumb:

    Are you going to try to improve your time ?
    As Decados said I think that some parts can be done even faster.


    That's because you can't use the Pocket Plane ability when enemies are within your visual range ;)

    I dont believe I was looking for any spells heading out. Considering I use shortcuts.

    I am not going to improve my time and the reason for that is that I just finished doing it this morning.

    Also considerer that everything I do have a purpose.

    That's pretty... insane. Impressive, but insane.

    ...all I've got to say about that.

    *smacks forehead*

    Of course. It gets easy to forget, as I rarely ever summon up the enthusiasm to make it through ToB anymore.

    That's neat! I can not believe you are soo damn fast even without Robe of Vecna! Good usage of Wishes and Chain Contingencies later on too! :thumb: You my friend, are a true master of magecraft, I will learn a few tricks from you! :)

    Great job, though I couldn't watch the whole thing, too painfull to see those chunks of XP just left alive :evil: . They want to be killed, why else would they have rolled such bad stats!

    A great job!
    However, I wish someone could make a one segment run and without using pause. That would be a moive.

    Here is another great speed run of an action game.

    This guy(gal) is crazy and respectable.

    Out of curiosity, have you ever reloaded, have you ever died, or this is also a 'no-reload' game?

    All I have to say is WOW. This is, if possible, more impressive than your SoA run.The planning gone into this must have been incredible. As in SoA, you make things I found near impossible look ridiculously easy. Especially the final battles with Melissan. I guess I am gonna have to copy some of your techniques. Hehe.

    Pretty neat, I guess. Not what I'd set out to do. I enjoy playing the game, or any game for that matter as long as possible.

    Now what I'd really like to see would be a speed-run on Ascension, with insane difficulty. That'd be wicked. :evil:

    Then I'd go "That's just wrong! You can't do that!" :jawdrop:
