15 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Fallout

6. Fallout 3 Can Be Beaten In Under 20 Minutes

The fun of the Fallout series lies in its exploration, whether every nook and cranny has something to offer and everywhere is worth a look at least. It swallows you up as you emerge hours later, blinking and wondering where the sun has gone. But you have to give credit to the speed running community who completely destroyed Fallout 3 and found a way to beat it in sub-20 minutes. That's an insane effort and the current world record belongs to Rydou who completes the main quest line in a grand total of 18 minutes and 59 seconds. Fair play to him; watching speed runners at work is an art form but it's frustrating to watch him pass this immaculate world and leave it pretty much untouched. Still, give speed runners a look; they're absolutely incredible and it applies to any game where there's an end goal because where there's a finish, there's someone who wants to get there as quickly as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT4t9EHIneo
