[edit] Speed run...

The article states "On the opposite extreme, the open design of the game permits one to complete it in under fifteen minutes," with [1] as its source. This is very misleading - many games have exploits that allows such speed runs to be made; it has little to do with Morrowind's "open design." I think this should just be removed. Many games can be similarly sped through, and unless the speed run is notable somehow, I see no need to mention it, especially like this. -Elmer Clark (talk) 01:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Many games require you to play through the whole game to get ti the final boss. In Morrowind, if you are skilled or lucky enough, you can skip straight to the final boss and kill him. Flamingtorch372 (talk) 21:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
So does Morrowind (the whole main quest at least). However, you can get around it (like this guy does) with exploits. Lots of games can be sped through with exploits. It's just a dumb speed run; similar tricks are out there for dozens of games. You cannot "complete the game in under fifteen minutes" due to the "open design of the game." It's just due to a certain combination of exploits. That's just plain false. -Elmer Clark (talk) 12:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I think in order to beat this game, you need to do EVERYTHING available to your character, which will no doubt take over fifteen minutes. Exploiting is the blood of speed runs in morrowind. Besides, I don't think speed runs belong in this article. Ledgo (talk) 12:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The player->coc console cheat springs to mind. It allows teleportation. Digifiend (talk) 13:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

So are there no objections to removing this then? -Elmer Clark (talk) 20:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
