Bethesda game director Todd Howard has previously spoken about the company’s internal speedrun competitions it holds for each of its titles. With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim rapidly approaching, the company has revealed a new champion: Sam Bernstein from QA.
He critical pathed his way to a main quest completion time of 2:16:10, followed ever so closely by Jeff Browne of Bethesda Game Studios with a time of 2:16:30. As impressive as that is, I’m sure someone from the general public will have an even crazier run shortly after Skyrim‘s release.
For this achievement, Bernstein was rewarded with a trophy and will be getting a pumpkin pie from Howard. Reminds me of the competitions we used to have here. Our doctors tell us never to do those again.
