How in the ... oh, right. I knew The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was a glitchy game, but hot damn, this is insane.
Almost every speedrun out there involves some sort of exploit in order to shave off precious seconds of game time (or in this case, hours), and the Oblivion speedrun located above is no exception.
By falling through the map, the speedrunner is able to initiate the game's final quest, completely skipping all of those pesky fetch missions.
While the video has no sound due to its creator being cheap and using demo software, it's still one to sit through.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Want to see a really fucking impressive speed run? Half-Life 1 in 30 minutes.
And, it has sound:

Grim, I want to buy your wheel
But not Oblivion.
@KorJax: you people do as he says and watch that half life run.
Yeah, I hear ya about being overwhelmed with Oblivion. I felt the same way, so I had to limit myself to just doing the guild quests and a few of the cooler looking other quests (The two guys trapped in the dream world and in the painting). I just don't have the time to do EVERYTHING.
I'm like 3/4 through the game, it seems, but I'll have to put that on hold for a bit because of Soulcalibur IV and some other stuff.
It took a lot of restraint on my part to not watch the very end of that speed run. I really want to know how this game ends.
I guess the right question to ask, is how the hell did people find that glitch? fair enough i understand getting into the building to be a glitch but for it to initiate the end sequence?
Damn you Destructoid, now I want to play it again!
lol Yeah, seeing it mentioned on Dtoid like 8 times last week gave me a serious craving for some Oblivion. I spent quite a few hours this past weekend immersed in that game. It's crazy how much I lose track of time in the real world while playing this.
