Some ideas on how to advance speedruns
Advancing speedrunns
I think speedruns are an Interesting way of keeping a game like Dishonored interesting. The question is what kind of rules you use.
This Guide isn´t here just to teach you how to get the fastest possibel playthrough, but rather to give you some ideas on the different kinds of speedruns you could attempt.
The most simple way is deffinetly starting a new game, and then look at how long it took you to the end. That is the most obvious and in my opinoin the least intersting one.
Another way would be mission specific. In other words you look at how much time you need to complete one single mission. That would also allow for some interesting play with void powers, because you can give someone the maximum number of runes that could be reached up until this point. You might want to ban bone charms though, since those are randomly generated which would make luck a factor, also you might want to norm the chaos level. The more simple speedrun is definetly better then that on a tournament level, but this formula might make quite an interesting evening with some friends.
Aside from that you can always advcance your speedrun with more rules, be carful though if your rules eliminate too many choices the speedrun might get dull realy quick. Something like a pacifist rule can make for some interesting playthroughs none the less.
If you have any ideas I forgot here please comment them so I may add them.
Have fun running
