I'm new to this community, although I've been a viewer of speedrun content for a long time.

I love Skyrim, and I've fallen in love with playing on Survival mode thanks to the Anniversary Edition upgrade to Skyrim SE. I started streaming a challenging speedrun, to complete ALL named quests in the entire game (any that appear with the STARTED: ... text at the top of the screen) on survival mode and expert difficulty. I'm doing this primarily to challenge myself and grow personally, and also because it is really fun for me, to develop strategies to go fast under these constraints.

I'm going to try adding my second, more optimized attempt onto the leaderboards, following the glitchless speedrun rules, but even if that doesn't happen, I'll be making a video recording the challenge and my thoughts behind it.

Currently more than 100 hours into the first attempt, at 88% completion. I expect the second attempt to total about 75 hours. Maybe less. I've learned so much already, things that I would never have thought of if I wasn't doing this absurd challenge.
