Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Completed in Seven Minutes
It would seem like Baldur's Gate III would be quite a challenge for speedrunners. As it turns out, however, the Early Access version of the game available on Steam can be completed in just over seven minutes.
The team at Larian is convinced that the Early Access version of Baldur's Gate III, which has been released in Steam's early access on October 6, offers about 25 hours of gameplay. However, speedrunner known as Professor Palmer proves that this time can be significantly reduced. By how much? Well, by applying a few "simple" tricks, such as skipping absolutely all quests, fights and opportunities to gain experience points, as well as jumping across maps, he managed to complete the game in... just over seven minutes. It is worth noting that achieving such a result required some two hundred attempts, which he revealed in an interview with the editors of Kotaku, so in the end he spent much more time on the game.
As the full version of Baldur's Gate 3 is said to offer 40 hours of content (without any side tasks and activities, of course), it is possible to assume that when the title will be available for sale, Professor Palmer or another speedrunner will be able to handle it in some ten minutes... Provided that the developers do not implement solutions aimed at ending this type of runs.
