| 1 | Q: What is the goal of this speedrun? | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | A: To achieve 98% completion according to the in-game completion meter. | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | Q: Why not just go for the full 100? | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | A: Due to a programming oversight, the percentage added to the completion meter for obtaining in-game recipes is miscalculated. That is, while the other objectives account for 90%, and 1% is added for every 8 recipes obtained, there are only 64 recipes to be collected in the game, making for only an additional 8%, not 10%. As such, 98% completion in BtN is the functional equivalent of a 100% category, but as the game's own meter still only reads 98%, that's what I've decided to call it. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Q: What is the world record for this category? | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | A: Currently none, as I am the only runner who has attempted to route it or run it. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Q: What is your goal time? | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | A: As a first run, I'd like to see somewhere around 10 hours. However, as time goes on, I believe sub-9 is easily possible, and sub-8 would be preferable. Anything below that is pure speculation. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Q: What counts towards the completion percentage? | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | A: The breakdown of the completion percentage is as follows: | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | 10% for Power Berries (1% x 10 berries) | |
| 22 | 10% dog's hearts (1% x 10 hearts) | |
| 23 | 10% horse's hearts (1% x 10 hearts) | |
| 24 | 10% house expansions (2% x 5 expansions) | |
| 25 | 10% chickens owned (1% x 10 chickens) | |
| 26 | 20% cows/sheep owned (2% x 10 animals) | |
| 27 | 10% wife's hearts (1% x 10 hearts) | |
| 28 | 10% baby's hearts (1% x 10 hearts) | |
| 29 | 8% recipes (1/8% x 64 recipes) | |
| 30 | ------------------------------------------ | |
| 31 | = 98% | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | Q: My copy only counts up to 88%! What gives? | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | A: Certain copies of the game have an additional programming error that causes the game to fail to count power berries towards the completion meter, resulting in an additional 10% deficit. I am playing on a 98% copy of the game. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Q: Who do you marry? | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | A: I will be marrying Popuri, as she can be found within the shortest distance of the farm with the most reliability and likes gifts that are readily available. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Q: Why did you skip [festival]? | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | A: In general I will be skipping every single festival that I can, except where my attendance is required to fulfill some other objective. |
