This is probably a really dumb question but would reloading checkpoints to skip cutscenes or whatever be allowed in a glitchless run? Like I know it's not really a glitch as such but I just wondered.

If it's a game's standard feature, I see no problem doing it in a glitchless run.

Awesome, just wanted to make sure that's all, didn't want to start a riot ;)

Video example would be best, though :)

I'll cook something up soon and post it here, spent the last 5 hours learning Rise of the Tomb Raider xD

I'd say it's fine. there's a handful of useful spots, so a good chunk of seconds could be saved.

Yeah, just trying to optimize some places here and there that's all.

Personally I think it shouldn't be allowed. That's just my 2 cents. Because the word "glitchless" I take that serious to the "T" I think their should be no exploits or anything the dev's did not attend the game to be played like. Also if this comes off like I'm pissed.. I am 100% not and totally happy :D

I think I agree with you there, I will no longer be doing it <3 Also, welcome to the community, I'm so glad more people are running this category now :D
