This is my first recorded run for SDA and I'm very proud to present it. My thanks goes to Radix, Nathan Jahnke, and the rest of SDA for creating such a hardcore speed running site. And, of course, thanks to SDA for hosting my pleasantly annoying rendition of Fable speed running at its most moderate greatness *cough*. I would also like to thank Christian Haralter for getting the ball rolling on this Fable running thing. If it wasn't for his run, I wouldn't have known how to abuse Enflame to its fullest (kidding and serious) and have actual video guidance for my own run. A few boasts and boo's below.

Good points about my run. It's all from memory and notes only:
-I've found that rolling is faster than walking. How fast, sayeth ye? Rolling across the bridge towards Bowerstone beats running by .4 seconds on average. Also, the higher the Speed attribute is, the faster you can roll.
-Pressing the A (talk) button farther away (I estimate around 10 ft is the farthest) from your target almost always contributes in saving time.
-If you hold the control stick in the direction you want to run as soon as cutscenes finish you can save some time over just waiting until the screen comes back.
-Shooting the Guild Master during the timed Archery and Lightning tests saves a combined total of 1min 20sec on average.
-Killing the small bugs after hurting the Wasp Queen speeds up the murder. She'll spawn more small wasps quicker and therefore be able to die quicker.
-Holding down on the D-Pad as soon as the screen goes black after an Auto Save speeds up the warping process.
-You can save a few screens of time by getting Wellow's Pickhammer as soon as you finish the Orchard Farm quest and then warping to and from the Hero's Guild afterward.
-Sneaking around during the 'Bandit Seeress' quest helps as they don't hear you when you do it. Running has the opposite effect.
-During the White Balverine quest, after the first White Balverine encounter, running around the southern part of the map's circle spawns the Balverine much quicker than waiting.
-During the 'Save the Archaeologist' quest, sometimes you can kill only three Minions near the Archaeologist and the quest will finish. It only seems to be by chance occurence as I've only made it happen two out of four runs through that mission.

On to the boo's:
-Farting has no meaningful value other than to reduce my own stress levels while speed running. Sorry if you've been offended by the exessive flatulance... not really, though.
-I block and sideroll (slower) quite a bit during my run making it seem like rolling isn't that great. I think that it really depends on how skilled you can make yourself at rolling and then deciding whether or not it should be used in your run. I was doing pretty good for most of my other failed runs so I decided to keep with it no matter what.
-I also roll into a fair amount of archway supports and people and whatnot. This also being uncharacteristic of my average run, but I actually finished this run without any major foul-ups so it had to stay in.
-Some of my fights are slower than normal. Most of this pertains to chance so it really couldn't be helped no matter what day I was having (i.e. fighging Whisper in training grounds, I think).
-I'm not completely sure but it might actually be faster to get Wellow's Pickhammer before Orchard Farm... eh, probably not.
-You could also skip grabbing Wellow's Pickhammer altogether and go for grabbing the Cutlass Bluetane (with time freeze glitch) or even Skorm's Bow (for distance fighting over close range fighting). I haven't timed any of these other methods so feel free to find out for yourselves.
-My endgame fights were also pretty slow. This, on the other hand, was my own fault as I had forgotten where I had to go next and the end result was poor play. I plan to do my run over in a month and hopefully improve to a sub 1hr 48minutes time *fingers will be crossed*.
-Also, some of the leveling I did in this run could be reduced or even omitted altogether. In all honesty, I believe I went a little overkill on my leveling and that's another thing I'd like to improve in future runs of this game.
-One more improvement would have to be my end potion count. Also overkill on that one. I'm sure I could have skipped a few merchants and gotten a better time, but I'll again have to leave that to future runs. That's about all I've found so I'm done with it all for now. Enjoy my run.
