On: Planning a Morrowind all-faction speedrun with simulated annealing, part 3

[misnome]

I fuzzily remember a scroll near the start that let you jump over about 1/3 of the map, which you could survive with timed use of even a 1/2 second levitate.

Would this help any of the longer walks? Or does speed+levitation mostly beat it anyway?

It was a quest called "A Falling Wizard"; the scroll was the "Scroll of Icarian Flight". I spent wayyyyy too many hours of my childhood playing Morrowing. There's a human speed run that relies on it for a blazing fast ~3min completion of the main quest: https://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/04/this-morrowind-speed-run-t...

I also type Morrowing instead of Morrowind nine times out of ten.

I remember that too. It was near the beginning of the game. You see a guy fall out of the sky and die because he used the scroll.

Speed + levitation was more controllable in my experience.
