I did it in Morrowind to try out the glitch, but in general I don't see a point in a speed run, though I understand why others are interested in them.
I used to speedrun Mirror's Edge quite often back in the day. The fastest I got up to was 58mins. If I posted my times I would be in the top 100 actually.

I've never done a speedrun, I guess it's cool to know how fast you can finish a game but I like to take my time so I can appreciate everything.

I like to take my time enjoying the game
I've loved this game ever since its release in 2002, both the single-player and the multi-player versions. Although I pretty much stopped playing single-player after I completed it the first few times and then switched to the very brilliant and addictive multi-player game, I revisited the single-player version again in recent time – this time as a quite experienced strafe jumper and Jedi slayer thanks to extensive multi-player adventures. I believe it was in April 2012 that I first started looking for shortcuts and tricks for completing the levels faster. The first one I found was the canyon jump in kejim_post which shortened the level by a huge factor. I started becoming curious about how fast this game could be completed, and I suddenly came to think of some of the impressive speedruns I had seen previously, especially runs of Half-Life. I wondered if a run of JK2 had been made, and to my excitement a search quickly led to LLCoolDave's Padawan run on SDA from 2005.[...]Thanks also to IsraeliRD for timing the run. Last but not least, thanks to LucasArts and Raven Software for creating the best pc game I've ever played.
I don't attempt speedruns, but I like watching the weirder ones.YouTubeQuote from: Big Boss on March 25, 2015, 10:14:40 AMI like to take my time enjoying the gameI've never understood this irrational objection to speedrunning.Chances are they've already done that... a lot of times. A lot of times. You see stuff like the video above? He's literally memorized the entire game. Here's an excerpt from his comments on the run:QuoteI've loved this game ever since its release in 2002, both the single-player and the multi-player versions.

That's just silly. It's probably not even worthwhile to do that because incorporating the best routes and pickups into a run takes a lot of practice and a lot of patience, and beating the game hundreds if not thousands of time.
ah
Did I fly off the handle?
