Fallout 4 Glitchless Speedrun in 1:36:52 (World Record)...
Alright run, can definitely be improved by about another couple minutes, but want to focus on other categories right now. Glitchless is a pretty fun category, but much easier than Any%, so the grind isn't as fun.
Q. Q: Why? This doesn’t look fun.
A: The same reason people play racing games and MOBAs. Because it is fun to do and to also see a quantitative value (i.e. time) tied to your skill in a game, and it’s cool to see your skill improve. I’ve already put thousands of hours into the Fallout games outside of speedrunning, so this is another way I can play the game to have fun since I don’t find them fun normally anymore.
Q: Why does your timer stop between runs and during load screens?
A: The Fallout speedrun community (and almost every other PC speedrunning community) times our games in what’s called In-Game Time. This is the time that you’re actually playing your game, without load screens. This is because better PCs give faster loading screens, so it would be unfair to people who can’t afford really good PCs to include load screens in our time. The timer we use (LiveSplit) has a built-in feature where it reads the games’ files while they’re running, and is able to detect markers that indicate the game is loading. When the timer reads one of these markers, the timer automatically pauses.
Q: What difficulty is this run done on?
A: Very easy.
Q. What mods do you have installed?
A. None, this run was performed without mods.
Q: What’s the world record for this run? Is this still the record?
A: You can find the leaderboard for Fallout 4 here: speedrun.com/Fallout_4
Q: What is this raffle you did mid-run?
A: It’s a fun little game I play on stream with Twitch chat called the Culling. When we get to a cutoff point in a run (in glitchless, this is when we enter the Institute for the first time), we do a raffle where the winner is what’s called the Vessel. The Vessel is responsible for all things that happen in the run, good or bad. If we do a trick successfully, it’s because of the Vessel. If something goes terribly wrong, it’s because of the Vessel. If the run dies, the Vessel gets banned from chat for however long the run lasted. If the run ends up being a record, the Vessel gets a free sub to my Twitch channel.
Q. What're your thoughts on Fallout 76 and are you going to speedrun it?
A. I'm excited for it, seems like it'll be a fun game to relax in and play with friends. I will speedrun it if it has a storyline to speedrun.
Q: What language is it in? Why?
A: Fallout 4 is played in French because it is roughly 11 seconds faster than English. The time difference in languages comes from the unskippable Vault 111 cutscene and the unskippable Memory Sequence.
Q: What patch is this on?
A: We play Fallout 4 on patch 1.1.30.0.0.
Q: Why is your framerate capped at 60?
A: The physics in Fallout 4 are tied to your framerate, so if you have a super expensive computer that can run the game at 300 frames, you’re naturally going to be able to beat the game much faster. To combat this, all runs are done at 60 FPS, so that everyone is on an even playing field, despite computer strength.
Q: Why do you make those characters so ugly?
A: Because it's funny to see an ugly Shaun.
