Gothic 1 Speedrun (No Major Glitches) in 19:54

I had to grind this category for about 6 months (including small breaks) to reach this time. There were so many emotional ups and downs. Among other things, there were runs months ago that were at 19:40 pace and failed shortly before the end. During some grind periods I ran so much that I developed tendonitis in my thumb and forearm from pressing ALT all the time... It wasn't until I started taking it less seriously about 2 weeks ago and ran significantly less and on some days not at all that I was finally granted this final run. I don't expect I'll ever have to do the run again, but since my hatred for the category has mostly faded recently, whatever happens, I'm relaxed about the future. My WR timeline (not everything uploaded) 20:36 04.06. 20:30 12.06. 20:27 13.09. 20:21 17.09. 20:18 23.09. 20:08 01.10. 20:03 02.10. 19:56 14.10. (End time displayed incorrectly by pressing “new game”) 19:57 03.11. (1 second slower than PB and with cutscene bug) 19:54 18.11. (this run) 11:33 ???? This never happened before.
