Tomorrow at 930am Central Time, IGN is premiering a YouTube video of the developers reacting to the 6 minute Baldur's Gate 3 EA Any% speedrun as part of their "devs react to speedruns" series!

You can see it on their YouTube channel here :

the any% speedrun is laughable. could easily be fixed by larian with a few invisible walls and things like that tho ;)

its been done in under 5 minutes with featherfall and jump spell, old news.

the speedrun was avoiding every possible quest, run away from encounters and the goal of it was to reach the boat. someone else posted video of every quest completed under 3hr, that in my opinion was more impressive

Yeah that was also me. 2:24:10

Unfortunately, not true. 5 minutes is currently not possible unless we don't count the load screen after the Transponder.

I have the fastest time for the speedrun currently. The developers are reacting to my old fastest time of 5:58

Here is the current fastest time for Any% (5:52) :

I spoke with Larian about this, too. They said they will not put invisible walls anywhere because they don't agree with them. Hopefully I can continue to do super fast runs when the full game is out. Can't wait to try!

To react to a BG speedrun you have to have a BG game to watch. In this case they do not.

Adding invisible walls just to own speedrunners sounds like cancer.

Isn't this act getting a little old?

Morrowind final release speedrun is 3mn, and what? It's not what's make it a bad RPG.

Eh, they really didn't have anything interesting to say.

It's bugs exploit in core system and jump, what you want they say?

Idk, maybe talk about how they're going to fix some of these things?

What? It's just dev bug fix, there's nothing to say more.

I don't remind all, but quoted:
- They removed a height limit for jump because they hadn't yet the routine to manage it properly, this allow huge skip jumping to an area above they didn't thoought accessible but is with max zoom out.
- They removed fall damages I don't think they quoted why but obviously it will be fixed.
- Jump are a lot too long, I don't see them not fix it.
- Such series of jump gives character advantage in combats spawned allowing quickly escape, eventually this won't change as other fixes wont make it so easy.
- There's an exploit through clicking very fast, but I didn't catch the comment on it.
- They said clearly it's bugs that will be fixed that allowed this speedrun.

[professorpalmer9]

Yeah, I expected that. I use a single glitch in the beginning and then we jump over everything.

I wish I could show them my All Quests% Speedrun world record but it's 2 hours and 24 minutes.
There's a TON of really interesting tricks and stuff I use in it that I'm sure they'd humored by.

Anyways, very exciting to see the developers notice the run especially after the mob of forum dwellers who were so hateful lol

Have a great day everyone!
