The record for the Skyrim speedrun - 2 hours 16 minutes 30 seconds - was in fact best by a QA staff member who shaved off 20 seconds in their sprint.
The amazing Olympic hurdle through Skyrim’s whopping world stuffed full of dragons was accomplished the fastest by Jeff Browne, but quality assurance man Sam Bernstein took another route and ended his adventuring 20 seconds earlier.
”The speedrun is my World Cup or Olympics, it’s my favorite event that comes every three or four years,” said Todd Howard. Check out the Bethesda Blog coverage.
Bethesda reveals the winning speedrun is actually an hour longer than it took for Oblivion and Fallout 3. The Elder Scrolls V releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC November 11th.
