---------------
A saveless UV pistol start playthrough, outside of a couple maps it went surprisingly smooth. I knew the finale would be awful, but overall it was quicker than expected, my estimate was way off. Added chapters for each level, separating the failed runs from the successful ones and specifying if I missed items.
I didn't 100% every level due to not wanting to go hunting stray armor/health bonuses at the end of a level, and the very last one is too frustrating to do a "max" run on; the one time I've done it is enough.
E1M2 was kinda embarrassing, I get jittery at the start of every stream and start making rookie mistakes, I really shouldn't have run back into the horde after getting out into the open. E2M3 is always a pain because of the timed spawns at the beginning. E2M0 has a bad habit of softlocking after the blood maze, but I lucked out and had it trigger properly on the first go. I'm amazed I did E2M6 in a single go, usually the damn Mindweavers get me at least once. E2M7 is just tedious due to how horrible the final encounter is. Everything else leading up to that point can be dealt with fairly reliably, but the very last fight is just a mess of spam and luck.
The only reason I think E2M6 is an excellent level despite all the spammy encounters is that there's a trick to just about every encounter, leading to a surprisingly open level. Whether or not all of them are intentional, I really hope they don't patch any out as it would greatly reduce the freedom you have now.

Stream Description: "Saveless pistol start playthrough of both episodes of the recent DOOM + DOOM II Legacy of Rust expansion on Ultra-Violence. Deaths will happen, I'm not good enough to one-shot this. Aiming for 100% Kills/Secrets on all levels (except maybe E2M7). If I've missed items by the time I reach the exit I won't waste time hunting for them unless I know where they are. Might take a short break between episodes. Estimating around 8-9 hours if levels don't stretch out too much. If E2M7 takes too long, I might resort to just playing a run I pre-recorded for that purpose. The final encounter is too annoying to devote hours into."
