We should have a No Major Glitches category, with separate runs for shorter segments of the game, such as for the from Prologue to saving Hans, etc. Such new categories with a lower skill floor could breathe new life into this game's speedrunning community.

I for myself am very interested to do a full run of the game under such conditions. It would show a lot more of what the game is about, and should be a more enjoyable viewing experience.

Segments would bring down the time of a single run, and would be great for practice. What do people think?

I've been thinking of making a glitchless category. Not too convinced about segmented runs though since it's an RPG after all. It'd only really work from the start of the game, else you'd have to supply a save file and then it would be very arbitrary what that file should have. Also, the early game is mostly very dull to speedrun and I highly doubt it would gain traction.

The DLCs however could make for interesting short categories, but I haven't had the time and motivation to see how they would play out.
