1. Load removing IMO, the vast majority of PC games should have their load times removed in order to even the playing field. Currently, loads are not removed in Lucius because there is no automatic way to do it and it would be a pain to do by hand. However, I just want it to be known that if anyone gets a comparable time to my own (ie. no crashes, and pretty good clips) then we will remove loads from that point on (PS. if someone could make a load remover that would be nice :D). I dunno if that will happen ever, but we will see.

2. The Holy Grail At this point, the game is pretty much done and dusted for time saves as far as I can tell. There is however one potential way to speed the game up considerably that I would like to let everyone else know about in case anyone wants to try and find a way (im pretty sure its impossible, but there is always hope). Basically, you would need to get the gun on the first level (before you lock the maid in the freezer). The gun should then be saved so that after the tutorial so that you can kill cancel the second half of level one (where you take the padlock off of the door). While this would cost a lot of time on level one, its saves a bunch in the rest of the run for a number of reasons: -You could potentially kill cancel on levels 2 & 3, something which wasn't possible before -It may allow for kill canceling on levels 6, 7, 10, 11, and the last few levels -the kill is faster to perform than killing Jed -The kill has no cutscene (unlike the majority of other kills) I have already found a way to get OOB from the kitchen () but I cant find a way to get to the top floor and to the gun.

It should be noted that it will also be worth it if we can only find a way to get the gun on level one after the tutorial, since it has all the same advantages except you will have to do level two intended in order to regrab the gun and save it for the rest of the kill cancels (this should still save time).

Also note that even if we can get the gun, there is no guarantee that everything I have discussed will work (it may just crash the game completely, or you may not be able to repeat the padlock kill).

Extension of the OOB:

pretty convinced that there is no way to get the gun at this point

Yo bitch boy.. Guess what? I'ma prove you wrong, as soon as I finish chopping a tiny segment out of my recording.
