I don't mean Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom style "this game kind of asks to be broken and have its puzzles circumvented as a feature" stories, but more stuff like:

  • playing GTA while obeying all the traffic rules

  • playing Fortnite as a pacifist like in that one John Green youtube series on Hank Green's gaming channel

  • a group inventing its own rules within a multiplayer game

  • driving around the race track backwards

  • collecting all the cabbages in skyrim and storing them in your house and having that be the only goal you care about

  • playing single player games as multiplayer ones

  • playing games that aren't in a language you speak, and trying to understand it and its story and mechanics

  • playing a game with a wacky or unintended controls setup

  • self-assigning extra goals, like achievement hunting in ye olden days before achievements/trophies in the modern sense were a thing

And anything else along those lines.

Or your own personal speedrunning stories, too, especially if they're funny, even though speedrunning has become its own big meta-game thing at this point, so most speedrunning is speedrunning done correctly/as intended in a way. Have any of you done speedrunning "incorrectly" somehow?

I've done a no fast travel run in oblivion a while ago, it was a lot more fun than I was expecting and helps a ton with immersion. You get a much better feel for how all the cities connect together and eventually you find yourself relying on the map a lot less,plus the roads are much better designed than I thought they would be. One minor problem though, the second you go off road the experiance becomes a lot less... Polished and kind of feels like a cheap survival crafting game.
