@CozyKode lol just came from there. I've actually played DnD and other tabletop rpgs but I've never played BG before so I don't need to learn about attributes I need the mechanics of this game lol
100 hours later, I had to come back and give you proper thanks. Without you and this video, I wouldn't have been able to give this game a proper chance, but I'm loving every minute.
Yeah, this game can probably be overwhelming to beginners and thats kinda sad, because Im sure, there will be people who give up because on that on a game they would otherwise enjoy
I dont like to look up tutorials usually . But i feel like i have to . I figured out how to move and stuff but . What are saving rolls ? How to get an advantage ? Why do i miss alot . I need to understand the rolls . Im about to find out !
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a TH-cam video before but this legitimately might be the most helpful video I’ve ever seen. Incredible work, now back to passive viewing for another 15 years.
I just wanted to let you know, that thanks to your explanation of "High Ground" i now understand why Obi-Wan was able to beat Anakin. That sir, makes everything clear now.
“Stop Anakin! I have advantage on you!! You’ll be forced to roll 2 dice and take the lower value!!” “You underestimate my power!!!” “No seriously, you have a 25% chance to hit me, you should try to re-evaluate and use the surroundings to your advantage!”
I was extremely intimidated and confused when I opened the game. Honestly I thought about giving up. I’ve never played anything like d&d and I don’t have much experience with rpg’s but I really wanted to have a go at this game. Thank you so much for the tutorial it really helped break everything down and made so much sense of everything!!
I really really really really really really wanted to like this game but I just don't understand why anyone would. It's so poorly designed. Horrid combat system horrid controls. It makes fallout look unbugged. At about 10 hours. I just finally said enough is enough. Six crashes in 1 hour is way too many and I moved on
I was very discouraged playing this game a few days ago to the point i just quit. After watching only 45 min of this video i feel 110% more confident and am actually enjoying this game so much more. Cant explain how much i appreciate the time this took!
@@LuckyGhostman, I straight up refunded the game when it came out, not because it was bad, but overwhelming. Giving it another chance today, your video helps 10 fold🙏
Amazing beginner's guide, thank you so much. As a complete noob to D&D I watched so many beginners videos but they were all about character building and/or how to add up the values of the dice, it meant absolutely nothing to me because I am a complete beginner and know nothing about this game. This is the first beginners guide that actually introduces you into every aspect of the game and tells you about the things that really matter to a beginner extremely well. I realize how much work it is to make such a video so liked and subscribed, it's the least I can do.
EXACTLY what just happened to me, watched two noob vids and was even worse off than when I started!!! Was close to saying, 'ok, there is no way I'm gonna be able to play this thing, I dont' know RPG nor D&D stuff. screwed.' but then I found this vid, instantly I felt calm and excited, and educated!! wow!
Thank you posting it's spoiler free! The last two I watched didn't even give a spoiler warning when giving away major plot points. Now I can just hit play and enjoy
I know a lot of comments say this and it’s a year later but this really is an incredible video. The attention you put towards every detail is insane. You should be really proud of this work.
Agreed! Very well done! Earned a new sub here! Very few can articulate what they are playing as well as this guy does! Can think of 3 or 4 others I can sit through a whole video of and come out feeling wiser and more prepared on the other end!
33:50 small correction regarding stealth. Full sun means you cannot make a stealth check, it you are seen you will be removed from hide. Half sun means you need to make a stealth check to maintain your stealth and no sun means no check is necessary (unless your opponent has dark sight).
@@socratese5 because there are things in a beginners guide that I might not know. What I talked about regarding the stealth checks is something you would only know if you opened the games extensive tutorial section about stealth and read the entire seven paragraph explanation on the mechanics, which I did after failing a stealth check and not understanding why. I figured I'd mention it here because who else wants to do that? Some information that I think may be considered critical is often buried in hard to read encyclopedias.
@@rolux4853 its very similar yes but the tabletop version is alot more hands on, and some bookstores that carry the dnd books host games or know where does check it out
I tried to go into BG3 blind after hearing great things about it. I never played a DND RPG before and really struggled even on easy mode. I am sure experienced players love that the game doesn't hold your hand while playing, but with my lack of knowledge, I really struggled. This tutorial was so helpful, thanks so much!
As avid DnD player, and LONG LONG time Mass Effect gamer (somehow they feel simular to me dont at me ok) I could figure it out on my own pretty well. But sometimes, even "experienced" gamers still want their hand held while exploring. Thank you for holdin this gamerdude's hand mate 😂❤
I tried getting into BG3 two times and failed both times as the game was way to complicated for me. I came across this detailed guide, watched it and decided to give BG3 another try. Currently I have 60 hours on the game and I am in ACT 3. Just about to arrive at Baldur's Gate. Thank you so so much for making this detailed guide that allowed players like me to get into this beautiful world! :)
Ive probably watched like 15 hours of guides for this game trying to get prepared as a first time player. This one video cleared up alot of things i was still confused on! Thanks for explaining things clearly and zooming in on the actual things, and demonstrating everything out!
I watched a ton of videos before getting the game yesterday. It helped me get going and after about 5-6 hours I went back and re-watched the videos and NOW all of this info makes A LOT more sense, being able to apply it to what I've learned so far. I can't wait to get back into it today, I feel much more ready and capable 👍😀
On this subject, does anyone know if I want an item that is with a character that is not in my party, i have to take one out then party up the chacracter holding the item, picking it up the undo this whole process?
Appreciate the effort you put into this mate. Learnt more from this video than the other 20 I've watched combined. A true gift to those of us who are new to the genre and DnD
I LOVE this guy!! My brother just had me start playing this game... I've never done this kind of game NOR D&D, so I'm totally lost!!! I just tried to watch two beginner's guides... what a joke they were!! Made me even more confused than when I started! Jumping into the game talking about needing to do this, needing to do that, but I have no idea what those things are! Then I just found this vid, wow, what a difference. So much better organized, so much better in portraying the info, so much more clarity and just so much better in every way! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you sooo much for making this video! I am new to D&D games and I have been struggling for hours/days, and googling "what does this mean/do", "why can't I do this and that" didn't help🥲 But this video is the Chef's Kiss of BG3 Beginner's Guide🤌 I went through a couple of ones and remained as confused as ever. But with this, this MASTERPIECE of a video guide every other minute I was "Aaaaaa so this is what I need to do","Ooooooo so this is how this works". Again THANK YOU for doing this and for all of the hard work you put into making this video
/Edit/ For anyone lurking and wondering, "Do I really want to spend 1.5hr on a video to play a game better?" For me, 100+ hours in now and almost done, it made a huge difference and allowed me to understand game mechanics that individually aren't complicated, but as a whole are then incredibly complicated. This game, it's depth and how well written it is, deserves to be experienced entirely and this video allowed me to do that. /Edit/ That was gruesome but absolutely necessary. You clearly made it as painless as possible while still covering everything that matters. 90m across four days well spent in my opinion, so thank you very much. I'm ready to start over after a few hours and play for real now
I'm about 60 hours into the game and am learning things from this video I didn't even know I could do. Trying to convince my sister to try the game out and definitely sending this to her. Thank you for putting such a good guide together!
@@LuckyGhost Fantastic guide! I am 12.5 hours in. I'm watching this because playing with a controller, the menu are not as organize, so I don't have everything at my fingertip. My vision is the reason I can't play with mouse and keyboard.
I'm a total newbie to Baldur's Gate and D&D in general but this guide really helped me understand how to play the game and made me feel more at ease and comfortable in diving into the game. This is definitely THE best beginner's guide, hands down. You made this video very informative yet super easy to understand without making an hours' long guide and making the viewer feel overwhelmed with information overload. I say this video is 100% efficient and effective in teaching newbies into the game. Great job on this, Lucky Ghost! You earned yourself a subscriber. Thank you so much for making this wonderful, easy-to-follow guide!
This is by far the best BG3 beginners guide video I have seen. Super helpful that you indexed and timestamped each topic. Your explanations were very clear.
Wow! Finally someone that actually explains the game for beginners. It has such a learning no curve and you helped tremendously! I might actually pick up the game again now that I understand it better. GREAT video!
I made it to the end, & have to say it’s one of the best game guides I’ve ever seen! No piaffing, straight to the point, but lots of personality and tips without spoilers, never played the game before & about to jump in, now feeling much more prepared having watched this, thanks, this must have taken ages to do!! A pro TH-camr !!
A couple of impotant points: Holding alt does not show most lootable containers. So you still need to be at the lookout. Another point is that you can fast travel whenever you want from the map. You do not have to actually be near one of the way things. Press M, press where you want to go, and vola, there you are. Edit: Even though you can see your bonuses and proficiencies when you choose a dialog option, you do NOT know if it is the easiest one to pass. One check, where you have 0 bonuses, can require you to roll a 5. Another one where you have 5 bonus points can require you to roll a 15. The first one will be a lot easier, but you have no way of telling, except for intuition about what the character you are interacting with is likely to believe and want to hear. When it comes to karmic dice rolls, it removes that you can do a lot of high rolls in a row as well as low, if I understand it correctly. It also does the same for your enemies. So it does not tip anything in your favor, except for both you and your enemy not rolling 1s and 20s as many times in a row. That being said, it is probably a boost in conversations, since if you have like a bonus 10 total, then you do not care about what it is beyond 1, as long as it isn't 1, in any interaction that requires a 10.
@@condorX2 i finished act 1 on a coop save and a single player save before I found out about quick travel from anywhere, so there are probably a lot of people who do not know about it
IM PLAYING ON MY STEAMDECK AND ITS AMAZING I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE ON THE GAME ON YT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT TELLING YOU HOW TO PLAY JUST EXPLAINING WHAT EVERYTHING ON SCREEN MEANS AND DOES NOONE ELSE TALKS ABOUT THAT STUFF SO BRAVO ILL BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR PLAYTHRU SOON ❤❤
@@Demosthenes84 I love mine. I use it way more than I thought I would. Especially for emulation. But being able to play stuff like bg3 and elden ring while laying on the couch or on a trip, or on the TV with a dock makes not super versatile. Love it
@@leftovernoise ya I'm gonna get one soon. I originally wanted a nice gaming laptop for being on the go. But I have my powerful desktop. A steamdeck will serve me better.
I bought this game a year ago, and after 2 hours I got a refund because it was so unbelievably complicated (for someone that’s never played anything like it before). I decided to give it another try yesterday and my god thank you for this guide. I’d never have been able to stick it out without it.
I'm completely new to this genre of game so I've felt quite out of my depth with it. Your video has really helped me to understand the game better. Think I might restart so I can take full advantage of my newfound knowledge. Thank you so much, this has been immensely helpful!
Thank you so much for this. As someone who is not familiar with anything DnD but who really wants to play this awesome looking game, this was just what I needed. I really appreciate all the work and effort you put into this and it makes the game so much easier to understand from a beginner's perspective. You're an absolute legend. 😊
Made it to the end. I started playing this game yesterday, and felt very overwhelmed. Now I feel totally empowered to go have a good time. Thank you very much!
Just installed the game but haven't started playing yet and to be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about it, it just looked so complicated. After watching your video, I now can't wait to get into it. Excellent in-depth explanations, never assuming that the viewer already knows something. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Amazing! I saw the 1.5 hour length and went ugh, but wow did you do a stellar job. You went over everything but didn’t dwell to long on anything. I have a MUCH better understanding of the game now and will enjoy it a LOT more than if I had gone in blind. Thank you so very much! ❤
Thank you SO much for this. For someone who has never played similar turn based RPG games, this was a tremendous help! I can now enjoy playing the game without losing every fight because I wasn't utilising 75% of the actions :D
This is by far the best guide I've seen. A thorough and easy to understand breakdown on the termilogy and DND mechanics that is much needed to survive in this game. Would love to see a shorter guide for PS5 and controller nuances if possible. Thanks for the great content!
As a complete noob in this genre, and after not finishing the game last year due to lack of time, I came to youtube looking for a beginners guide to start a new play-through. To my surprise, I found out that I watched this ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES long video before. 'No way I'm spending 90 minutes watching a youtube guide' I thought. But then, if I've watched the entire guide back then, it must have been worth it, so here I am again :D
I've watched several hours of guides and tips while trying to avoid spoilers. I truly learned so much from this video that I'm considering starting back over in my current game. And while I know the basics of D&D already, I'm likely to recommend this for new players looking to join my campaigns because you give great basic overall discussions on classes, how combat works, and much more that is the same in table top play.
Man, you went into huge detail! As soon as I noticed how meticulous you were with making sure your guide was complete, I just had to follow and hit the bell. Seriously, I appreciate the hours and work you've put into this!
I was looking for something which simply explained what each class, starting abilities, and actions in the hotbar does. This guide does that, and beyond. Massive work, thanks!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. This was the only video that didn't leave me feeling uninformed, or worse, completely overwhelmed. I've been trying to make a decision if I'm gonna get it when it comes out on PS5 because I love RPGs and the idea of a truly free RPG experience is enticing. But all of the things I've seen and read about it didnt really touch on the mechanics in detail. You managed to do this without inundating my brain by prioritizing the key components and staying out of the weeds. You've convinced me I'm absolutely buying this game. Immediate subscribe!
Dude, I usually don't comment on videos but I had to give you props on this one. Very good and informative. I knew most of the stuff in here but It's still worth the watch for the few things I missed on my own. You got a great talent for explaining things and not make them boring.
I dove into BG3 last night basically blind and had a great time, but I'm definitely a little lost with some of the mechanics (especially combat). This is a very helpful video, thank you for taking the time to put it together!
Coming from playing Fallout 4 the first time I saw the screen on this game I almost stopped right there. It just seems so overwhelming! Thank you for all of your direction and guidance.
I was always too scared to play these types of games because of how complicated it looks, but this was a fantastic video and it’s encouraged me to give it a go. Thanks for making it so detailed.
@@panamike6178 Baldur's Gate is vastly different from any of FF's installments. It's much more strategic, much more expansive, much more profound in terms of lore, character interactions and choice consequences, and overall much more mature and complex in tone and execution. I personally don't have any experience with DnD or this type of gameplay, but I've still been enjoying it quite a lot as a complete noob to the genre, though it can feel overwhelming at first.
The best Beginners guide on TH-cam. It saved me from giving up on the game after 3 hours of getting slaughtered because I picked the wrong class for my Drow. Its now the best RPG I have ever played in 30 years. Thanks Lucky Ghost, I name checked you on my Steam review. Love the follow up videos as well, hope you make many more.
Thank you so much! I was so confused and overwhelmed and didn’t even bother playing it anymore because I kept dying at the beginning, but now I am super confident and can’t wait to play 😁
Very good tutorial. I really appreciate you taking the time to produce some really good content for new players. I played the original Baldur's Gate 25 years ago and enjoyed it. Your video inspired me to make the purchase. Can't wait to play this tonight!
Crazy how times have changed. We used to buy physical copies of games that would come with a handbook to explain all of a game's controls, concepts, and mechanics. Now, we have to take to the internet or TH-cam when a new game releases digitally to help us get through it. Nevertheless, you went into excruciating detail about everything this game has to offer, and it was more informative than any booklet could have been. Thank you for the time and effort you spent on this. You've encouraged me, as well as a lot of others, to give this game a go.
What i wonder is how yall think people like him get the info he's giving you. I mean these ppl making these guides just sat down and played the game a bunch. More often than not that's the way its always been done. Manuals...lmao Times haven't changed my friend, gamers have. The fact that he opens the video with the phrase "fear and trepidation" says it all. It's a damn game for goodness sake, not open heart surgery. Push bttons. Stuff happens. When wrong stuff happens, push different buttons.
You easily just convinced me to spend the money for this game , I’ve been itching to live out my middle school years of playing guild wars and I think this is it ❤❤❤❤
I have watched 100 BG3 guides looking for this quality, and wouldn't you know it, my favorite ESO CC comes out with a guide that beats all the others. Should have checked here first! 😊
Just bought the game. So far so good but as there were a couple of things I wasn't 100% sure of, I decided to seek advice. The advice I got was "Subscribe to Lucky Host" When I asked what they were talking about, They explained you were a TH-cam Gaming guy who does awesome Beginner's guides. It's a good thing I realised who they meant - so I subscribed. About 8 hours later I got bombarded with messages saying "It's Ghost! It's Ghost! not Host! GHOST!"
I just started playing this game with my brother yesterday and we have no experience with D&D whatsoever. This guide is an amazing help! I tried checking out other guides and I barely understood anything that they were talking about. This is truly beginner friendly and extremely thorough. After watching this video, I feel soooo much more confident and excited to continue my adventure and explore the game! Thank you so much for doing such a great job!
Fantastic guide! About 20 hours in and made me want to restart after watching this guide. Love that you keep spoilers out of a video that is an hour-n-half long. Great content, and you do a very nice job at explaining the mechanics of the game. This is without a doubt the GO-TO beginner guide for new players like myself. Thank you for the time and effort put forth into it. Keep up the content and you got a new sub from me for sure!
Fantastic video. Your ability to divulge critical information while refraining from spoiling anything in the game content-wise. Learned a couple of tricks from this guide, and I alreadybhave over 70 of playtime over 2 characters.
This man here...this is one hell of a guide. Baldur's Gate was never on my radar. I don't know how I ended up here. But now I'm tempted to pick up this game next payday. Hats off to you good sir.
So easy to sit and listen. Not boring, and you keep my excitement level up. You relax me knowing when I'm overwhelmed and relax me when I feel nervous. I can tell you've "been there before". You're a pro, bro. Thanks for pronouncing "genre" correctly and thanks for calling ME a Legend! ❤
As many others have said, I never comment on videos but for this one I had to. Baldur’s Gate is the first game I’ve ever played as a fledgling gamer and the UI overwhelm is huge. This video was so comprehensive, welcoming, and straightforward. Thank you for making it, I know the editing must have taken forever
Just got into the game 2 days ago. It's a looooooot to wrap your head around if you're not used to this kind of game, and this guide proved incredibly helpful. A lot of it is explained by the game, but still, in every section, there is something you might have missed or not thought of, so this is pure gold.
After watching the guide, this is basically a video version of the D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook. Everything from turns to stats to backgrounds and even inspiration.
I'm not done yet, but this already helped so much. The other guides I tried watching before this one always seemed to assume that I know how to play DnD which made the explanations pretty pointless to me. But this guide actually perfectly combined explaining DnD in the context of the game. Thank you!
I was so keen to try this game but it was so overwhelming because I’m new to D&D and games like this but this guide has been AMAZING, so thorough with all explanations, its like you picked my brain for all the questions I had and just answered them. You’ve sold me on giving it a go. (Ps. I’m going to play as a rogue first)
I watched a ton of videos before getting the game yesterday. It helped me get going and after about 5-6 hours I went back and re-watched the videos and NOW all of this info makes A LOT more sense, being able to apply it to what I've learned so far. I can't wait to get back into the game today, I feel so much more ready and capable 👍😀
This honestly has been the best guide I've seen. I've never played the BG games and felt intimidated with everything going on but this helps explain everything in a simple yet extensive way that is easy to understand. Greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into this video! It's a huge help for new players like myself!
Never played DnD. Never played BG. My wife and I just bought this and just created or character. We're SSSOOOOOOO clueless. Can't wait to get stated!!!
This is the best and most complete video i ve seen as a guide, it s really well explained, it s not too fast or too slow, it s perfect. Thank you so much.
This was such a great video, I’ve never played a game like this, and I was super intimidated and overwhelmed trying to figure it out with just the tutorial features. I’m super excited to play after spending the time to make it through this entire video. You’re the best!
Perfect guide while waiting for the download. Watched it all the way to the end, very informative and well done. Thank you for taking the time to make such a comprehensive guide!
Was super apprehensive about starting, but luckily saw your vid and felt prepared enough to begin. Thank you for making things easy to understand! ❤ (no experience in D&D, and never played turn-based games like this)

Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you SO much for this video! This is such an excellent, well made tutorial; I simply cannot stress how helpful its been to me (and to countless others) in learning about all of the different mechanisms used in this game. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart: *Thank you so very much, my friend!* 🖤 I only wish I could find a guide like this for the console versions (specifically the PS5). While the vast majority of it is universal, there are some things that are a little confusing for me to find / figure out... though that's just mostly down to the controls and stuff.
This will definitely be my go to guide when I do start my BG3 adventure once I finish scratching the D4 itch. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your guides Lucky!
I'm sorry, but I just have to say this. This video is SO much better than the Fextralife one. I feel so much more confident in knowing what to do and how to approach this game. Like, yes I spent 90 minutes of my afternoon watching this, but imagine having only the Fextralife video to go off of and tackling this game. I would literally still be dying in the first battle against the walking brains with feet on the first level.
Thank you for this guide. I am completely new to this genre of game play. I have no clue how to play these types of games. But with your video, it has given me the ideas how to begin. This game is something I wanted to play for quite a while now. I will be sure to look back on this video as a reference. Thank you so much.
Love your guides! They're so helpful. The guide you made for final fantasy xiv was awesome, and this one doesn't disappoint either. Keep up the good work! 💪
Quick tip: if you're going for a ranged character such as a wizard there's a hidden melee weapon you can find fairly early that increases your strength to 15 (now 19 as of patch 1) while it's equipped, thus offsetting the disadvantages of having low strength for various things.
@@nirisu6954 in the Underdark at the top of the Arcane Tower there's a stool called "Stool of Hill Giant Strength" that raises a characters strength to 21 while sitting on it. If you throw it it will break allowing you to take one of the legs as a club. Also the weapon's effect has been buffed as of patch 1 to raise strength to 19 instead of 15.

Great video tutorial, I have subscribed to your channel!!
Excellent beginner's guide!
😊
😊The
Bro, YOU KILLED THIS OVERVIEW I watched whole thing before even starting the game.
Finally! Someone who actually shows each step, explains navigating and doesn't talk to us like we already know everything! ❤
exactly this is quite confusing for us newbies on this kind of games
I really need a "Video Games for Dummies" channel.
Lol, i got stuck on the 1st mission where you have to make it to the transponder thing. I was trying to kill the Boss and failing.
@CozyKode lol just came from there. I've actually played DnD and other tabletop rpgs but I've never played BG before so I don't need to learn about attributes I need the mechanics of this game lol
You truly only need one advice for those games..stop skipping and start reading stuff x)
100 hours later, I had to come back and give you proper thanks. Without you and this video, I wouldn't have been able to give this game a proper chance, but I'm loving every minute.
so glad you've enjoyed it!! and glad I was able to help :D
Same here
Yeah, this game can probably be overwhelming to beginners and thats kinda sad, because Im sure, there will be people who give up because on that on a game they would otherwise enjoy
I dont like to look up tutorials usually . But i feel like i have to . I figured out how to move and stuff but . What are saving rolls ? How to get an advantage ? Why do i miss alot . I need to understand the rolls . Im about to find out !
@@DeadlyRogueeeoh yeah I was gone give up but can’t
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a TH-cam video before but this legitimately might be the most helpful video I’ve ever seen.
Incredible work, now back to passive viewing for another 15 years.
it means a lot that you would come out of your passive viewing to say this. I appreciate you, and this comment, more than you know
Proud of you my guy. See you next decade!!
FYI the Dark Urge is actually the main character of the Baldur's Gate series and picks up after the events of Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal

I just wanted to let you know, that thanks to your explanation of "High Ground" i now understand why Obi-Wan was able to beat Anakin.
That sir, makes everything clear now.
“Stop Anakin! I have advantage on you!! You’ll be forced to roll 2 dice and take the lower value!!”
“You underestimate my power!!!”
“No seriously, you have a 25% chance to hit me, you should try to re-evaluate and use the surroundings to your advantage!”
I was extremely intimidated and confused when I opened the game. Honestly I thought about giving up. I’ve never played anything like d&d and I don’t have much experience with rpg’s but I really wanted to have a go at this game. Thank you so much for the tutorial it really helped break everything down and made so much sense of everything!!
I really really really really really really wanted to like this game but I just don't understand why anyone would. It's so poorly designed. Horrid combat system horrid controls. It makes fallout look unbugged. At about 10 hours. I just finally said enough is enough. Six crashes in 1 hour is way too many and I moved on

I was very discouraged playing this game a few days ago to the point i just quit. After watching only 45 min of this video i feel 110% more confident and am actually enjoying this game so much more. Cant explain how much i appreciate the time this took!
thanks! it means a lot knowing this massive beginner guides are helping people!
Lol I'm tired 15 minutes into the video
@@LuckyGhostman, I straight up refunded the game when it came out, not because it was bad, but overwhelming. Giving it another chance today, your video helps 10 fold🙏

Amazing beginner's guide, thank you so much. As a complete noob to D&D I watched so many beginners videos but they were all about character building and/or how to add up the values of the dice, it meant absolutely nothing to me because I am a complete beginner and know nothing about this game. This is the first beginners guide that actually introduces you into every aspect of the game and tells you about the things that really matter to a beginner extremely well. I realize how much work it is to make such a video so liked and subscribed, it's the least I can do.
EXACTLY what just happened to me, watched two noob vids and was even worse off than when I started!!! Was close to saying, 'ok, there is no way I'm gonna be able to play this thing, I dont' know RPG nor D&D stuff. screwed.' but then I found this vid, instantly I felt calm and excited, and educated!! wow!
The best guide there is and somehow totally spoiler free. Well done mate.
thank you for posting it is spoiler free :)
Thank you posting it's spoiler free! The last two I watched didn't even give a spoiler warning when giving away major plot points. Now I can just hit play and enjoy
I know a lot of comments say this and it’s a year later but this really is an incredible video. The attention you put towards every detail is insane. You should be really proud of this work.
Thank you 😊 🙏
I wish more people could produce such well-done guides to understanding and enjoying the content they are representing.. Well Done Sir, Well Done!
thanks so much!
Agreed! Very well done! Earned a new sub here! Very few can articulate what they are playing as well as this guy does! Can think of 3 or 4 others I can sit through a whole video of and come out feeling wiser and more prepared on the other end!
33:50 small correction regarding stealth. Full sun means you cannot make a stealth check, it you are seen you will be removed from hide. Half sun means you need to make a stealth check to maintain your stealth and no sun means no check is necessary (unless your opponent has dark sight).
Does it also deal with Full Cover, Half Cover and No Cover??
very good, did wonder about it..but did not test it so far, sounds legit
it's interesting how you are watching this but don't sound like a beginner,
@@socratese5 because there are things in a beginners guide that I might not know. What I talked about regarding the stealth checks is something you would only know if you opened the games extensive tutorial section about stealth and read the entire seven paragraph explanation on the mechanics, which I did after failing a stealth check and not understanding why. I figured I'd mention it here because who else wants to do that? Some information that I think may be considered critical is often buried in hard to read encyclopedias.
So THAT'S why my sneaking as Astarion never seemed to work
I can't explain how easy this made the game to understand! Thanks for another truly complete and comprehensive guide!
Glad it helped!
And now you know exactly how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Lol
@@ChurroMasteris the tabletop rpg really like that?
I never played it but was always interested but unfortunately lacked friends to do it.
@@rolux4853 its very similar yes but the tabletop version is alot more hands on, and some bookstores that carry the dnd books host games or know where does check it out
@@rolux4853In a nutshell yes it really is
I tried to go into BG3 blind after hearing great things about it. I never played a DND RPG before and really struggled even on easy mode. I am sure experienced players love that the game doesn't hold your hand while playing, but with my lack of knowledge, I really struggled. This tutorial was so helpful, thanks so much!
As avid DnD player, and LONG LONG time Mass Effect gamer (somehow they feel simular to me dont at me ok) I could figure it out on my own pretty well.
But sometimes, even "experienced" gamers still want their hand held while exploring.
Thank you for holdin this gamerdude's hand mate 😂❤
I tried getting into BG3 two times and failed both times as the game was way to complicated for me. I came across this detailed guide, watched it and decided to give BG3 another try. Currently I have 60 hours on the game and I am in ACT 3. Just about to arrive at Baldur's Gate. Thank you so so much for making this detailed guide that allowed players like me to get into this beautiful world! :)
Ive probably watched like 15 hours of guides for this game trying to get prepared as a first time player. This one video cleared up alot of things i was still confused on! Thanks for explaining things clearly and zooming in on the actual things, and demonstrating everything out!
Same. I've never played something like this and it looked crazy overwhelming but after this guide it feels very doable.
Really good video
I watched a ton of videos before getting the game yesterday. It helped me get going and after about 5-6 hours I went back and re-watched the videos and NOW all of this info makes A LOT more sense, being able to apply it to what I've learned so far. I can't wait to get back into it today, I feel much more ready and capable 👍😀
@@lordaizen8004 I have to wait until September 😩 I've tried to watch some spoilers free fun videos to keep my hype up 😆
On this subject, does anyone know if I want an item that is with a character that is not in my party, i have to take one out then party up the chacracter holding the item, picking it up the undo this whole process?
I've played 20 hours in the released version and more in the beta. And I'm still watching guides and learning hahaha
Best walkthrough I’ve seen and immediately made my game more enjoyable. Hope you keep putting out great content.
thank you so much!
I am in complete agreement. This guide is fantastic

Appreciate the effort you put into this mate. Learnt more from this video than the other 20 I've watched combined. A true gift to those of us who are new to the genre and DnD
I LOVE this guy!! My brother just had me start playing this game... I've never done this kind of game NOR D&D, so I'm totally lost!!! I just tried to watch two beginner's guides... what a joke they were!! Made me even more confused than when I started! Jumping into the game talking about needing to do this, needing to do that, but I have no idea what those things are! Then I just found this vid, wow, what a difference. So much better organized, so much better in portraying the info, so much more clarity and just so much better in every way! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much :,))
Thank you sooo much for making this video! I am new to D&D games and I have been struggling for hours/days, and googling "what does this mean/do", "why can't I do this and that" didn't help🥲 But this video is the Chef's Kiss of BG3 Beginner's Guide🤌 I went through a couple of ones and remained as confused as ever. But with this, this MASTERPIECE of a video guide every other minute I was "Aaaaaa so this is what I need to do","Ooooooo so this is how this works". Again THANK YOU for doing this and for all of the hard work you put into making this video
/Edit/ For anyone lurking and wondering, "Do I really want to spend 1.5hr on a video to play a game better?" For me, 100+ hours in now and almost done, it made a huge difference and allowed me to understand game mechanics that individually aren't complicated, but as a whole are then incredibly complicated. This game, it's depth and how well written it is, deserves to be experienced entirely and this video allowed me to do that. /Edit/
That was gruesome but absolutely necessary.
You clearly made it as painless as possible while still covering everything that matters.
90m across four days well spent in my opinion, so thank you very much.
I'm ready to start over after a few hours and play for real now
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm about 60 hours into the game and am learning things from this video I didn't even know I could do. Trying to convince my sister to try the game out and definitely sending this to her. Thank you for putting such a good guide together!
love hearing that! thank you for sharing!
@@LuckyGhost Fantastic guide! I am 12.5 hours in. I'm watching this because playing with a controller, the menu are not as organize, so I don't have everything at my fingertip. My vision is the reason I can't play with mouse and keyboard.
I'm a total newbie to Baldur's Gate and D&D in general but this guide really helped me understand how to play the game and made me feel more at ease and comfortable in diving into the game. This is definitely THE best beginner's guide, hands down. You made this video very informative yet super easy to understand without making an hours' long guide and making the viewer feel overwhelmed with information overload. I say this video is 100% efficient and effective in teaching newbies into the game. Great job on this, Lucky Ghost! You earned yourself a subscriber. Thank you so much for making this wonderful, easy-to-follow guide!
This is by far the best BG3 beginners guide video I have seen. Super helpful that you indexed and timestamped each topic. Your explanations were very clear.
Wow! Finally someone that actually explains the game for beginners. It has such a learning no curve and you helped tremendously! I might actually pick up the game again now that I understand it better. GREAT video!
I made it to the end, & have to say it’s one of the best game guides I’ve ever seen! No piaffing, straight to the point, but lots of personality and tips without spoilers, never played the game before & about to jump in, now feeling much more prepared having watched this, thanks, this must have taken ages to do!! A pro TH-camr !!
A couple of impotant points: Holding alt does not show most lootable containers. So you still need to be at the lookout.
Another point is that you can fast travel whenever you want from the map. You do not have to actually be near one of the way things. Press M, press where you want to go, and vola, there you are.
Edit: Even though you can see your bonuses and proficiencies when you choose a dialog option, you do NOT know if it is the easiest one to pass. One check, where you have 0 bonuses, can require you to roll a 5. Another one where you have 5 bonus points can require you to roll a 15. The first one will be a lot easier, but you have no way of telling, except for intuition about what the character you are interacting with is likely to believe and want to hear.
When it comes to karmic dice rolls, it removes that you can do a lot of high rolls in a row as well as low, if I understand it correctly. It also does the same for your enemies. So it does not tip anything in your favor, except for both you and your enemy not rolling 1s and 20s as many times in a row. That being said, it is probably a boost in conversations, since if you have like a bonus 10 total, then you do not care about what it is beyond 1, as long as it isn't 1, in any interaction that requires a 10.
that is a bummer! i was assuming it would. thx
Didn't know about the quick travel. Cheers m8!
@@condorX2 i finished act 1 on a coop save and a single player save before I found out about quick travel from anywhere, so there are probably a lot of people who do not know about it
IM PLAYING ON MY STEAMDECK AND ITS AMAZING I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE ON THE GAME ON YT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT TELLING YOU HOW TO PLAY JUST EXPLAINING WHAT EVERYTHING ON SCREEN MEANS AND DOES NOONE ELSE TALKS ABOUT THAT STUFF SO BRAVO ILL BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR PLAYTHRU SOON ❤❤
Yeah it's running way better than early access on deck and I'm loving the controller support
I want a steamdeck!
@@Demosthenes84 I love mine. I use it way more than I thought I would. Especially for emulation. But being able to play stuff like bg3 and elden ring while laying on the couch or on a trip, or on the TV with a dock makes not super versatile. Love it
@@leftovernoise ya I'm gonna get one soon. I originally wanted a nice gaming laptop for being on the go. But I have my powerful desktop. A steamdeck will serve me better.
@@leftovernoise what kind of emulation? Does it run on windows or Linux?
I bought this game a year ago, and after 2 hours I got a refund because it was so unbelievably complicated (for someone that’s never played anything like it before). I decided to give it another try yesterday and my god thank you for this guide. I’d never have been able to stick it out without it.
This helped more than any other video I watched. I finally don't feel so overwhelmed.
You are incredible for putting this whole thing together for us new players. I can’t thank you enough!
I'm completely new to this genre of game so I've felt quite out of my depth with it. Your video has really helped me to understand the game better. Think I might restart so I can take full advantage of my newfound knowledge. Thank you so much, this has been immensely helpful!
my pleasure!
Thank you so much for this. As someone who is not familiar with anything DnD but who really wants to play this awesome looking game, this was just what I needed. I really appreciate all the work and effort you put into this and it makes the game so much easier to understand from a beginner's perspective. You're an absolute legend. 😊
Made it to the end. I started playing this game yesterday, and felt very overwhelmed. Now I feel totally empowered to go have a good time. Thank you very much!
Just installed the game but haven't started playing yet and to be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about it, it just looked so complicated. After watching your video, I now can't wait to get into it.
Excellent in-depth explanations, never assuming that the viewer already knows something. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Amazing! I saw the 1.5 hour length and went ugh, but wow did you do a stellar job. You went over everything but didn’t dwell to long on anything. I have a MUCH better understanding of the game now and will enjoy it a LOT more than if I had gone in blind. Thank you so very much! ❤
Thank you SO much for this. For someone who has never played similar turn based RPG games, this was a tremendous help! I can now enjoy playing the game without losing every fight because I wasn't utilising 75% of the actions :D
This is by far the best guide I've seen. A thorough and easy to understand breakdown on the termilogy and DND mechanics that is much needed to survive in this game. Would love to see a shorter guide for PS5 and controller nuances if possible. Thanks for the great content!
thank you so much for the tip!! really, really appreciate the generosity, thanks!
As a complete noob in this genre, and after not finishing the game last year due to lack of time, I came to youtube looking for a beginners guide to start a new play-through. To my surprise, I found out that I watched this ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES long video before. 'No way I'm spending 90 minutes watching a youtube guide' I thought. But then, if I've watched the entire guide back then, it must have been worth it, so here I am again :D
Yooooo BG3 just came out for xbox today so this is ESSENTIAL! Thank you so much for posting this. Downloading the game now and excited to dive in!
Have fun!
Amazing overview! Thank you!!
Holy moly thank you so much! That was so kind! Thanks for making my night :)))
@@LuckyGhost Your content 's fully deserved and super helpful. thx mate !
Tipping my hat to your generous tip, sir. Wonderful contribution to a wonderful guide.
Bro just bought the game twice
@mikanxz I'm jealous. I have been watching videos about the game but can't afford it yet 😢
I've watched several hours of guides and tips while trying to avoid spoilers. I truly learned so much from this video that I'm considering starting back over in my current game. And while I know the basics of D&D already, I'm likely to recommend this for new players looking to join my campaigns because you give great basic overall discussions on classes, how combat works, and much more that is the same in table top play.
Man, you went into huge detail! As soon as I noticed how meticulous you were with making sure your guide was complete, I just had to follow and hit the bell. Seriously, I appreciate the hours and work you've put into this!
I was looking for something which simply explained what each class, starting abilities, and actions in the hotbar does. This guide does that, and beyond. Massive work, thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind words and the tip!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. This was the only video that didn't leave me feeling uninformed, or worse, completely overwhelmed. I've been trying to make a decision if I'm gonna get it when it comes out on PS5 because I love RPGs and the idea of a truly free RPG experience is enticing. But all of the things I've seen and read about it didnt really touch on the mechanics in detail. You managed to do this without inundating my brain by prioritizing the key components and staying out of the weeds. You've convinced me I'm absolutely buying this game.
Immediate subscribe!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words!! So glad it was helpful !
Dude, I usually don't comment on videos but I had to give you props on this one. Very good and informative. I knew most of the stuff in here but It's still worth the watch for the few things I missed on my own.
You got a great talent for explaining things and not make them boring.
I dove into BG3 last night basically blind and had a great time, but I'm definitely a little lost with some of the mechanics (especially combat). This is a very helpful video, thank you for taking the time to put it together!
Coming from playing Fallout 4 the first time I saw the screen on this game I almost stopped right there. It just seems so overwhelming! Thank you for all of your direction and guidance.
I was always too scared to play these types of games because of how complicated it looks, but this was a fantastic video and it’s encouraged me to give it a go. Thanks for making it so detailed.
Is it worth buying? I've never played a game like this before, I played FF7 on PS1 and that was it, is it like that one?
@@panamike6178 nope more strategic.
@@panamike6178 Baldur's Gate is vastly different from any of FF's installments. It's much more strategic, much more expansive, much more profound in terms of lore, character interactions and choice consequences, and overall much more mature and complex in tone and execution. I personally don't have any experience with DnD or this type of gameplay, but I've still been enjoying it quite a lot as a complete noob to the genre, though it can feel overwhelming at first.
Thanks for putting this together, I bought the game and made it to Emerald's Grove before I got totally overwhelmed. This is so helpful.
The best Beginners guide on TH-cam. It saved me from giving up on the game after 3 hours of getting slaughtered because I picked the wrong class for my Drow. Its now the best RPG I have ever played in 30 years. Thanks Lucky Ghost, I name checked you on my Steam review. Love the follow up videos as well, hope you make many more.
Glad I could help!
Got this game on release but quit because it was so overwhelming. I restarted because of this guide and I’m having so much fun now. Thank you!!
Very new player of BG3 although competent in others. Great help as the ingame tutorial very vague. Thanks
Thank you so much! I was so confused and overwhelmed and didn’t even bother playing it anymore because I kept dying at the beginning, but now I am super confident and can’t wait to play 😁
good luck! you've got this!
Very good tutorial. I really appreciate you taking the time to produce some really good content for new players. I played the original Baldur's Gate 25 years ago and enjoyed it. Your video inspired me to make the purchase. Can't wait to play this tonight!
Crazy how times have changed. We used to buy physical copies of games that would come with a handbook to explain all of a game's controls, concepts, and mechanics. Now, we have to take to the internet or TH-cam when a new game releases digitally to help us get through it.
Nevertheless, you went into excruciating detail about everything this game has to offer, and it was more informative than any booklet could have been. Thank you for the time and effort you spent on this. You've encouraged me, as well as a lot of others, to give this game a go.
What i wonder is how yall think people like him get the info he's giving you. I mean these ppl making these guides just sat down and played the game a bunch. More often than not that's the way its always been done. Manuals...lmao
Times haven't changed my friend, gamers have. The fact that he opens the video with the phrase "fear and trepidation" says it all. It's a damn game for goodness sake, not open heart surgery. Push bttons. Stuff happens. When wrong stuff happens, push different buttons.
You easily just convinced me to spend the money for this game , I’ve been itching to live out my middle school years of playing guild wars and I think this is it ❤❤❤❤
You’re beginners guides are so good dude. These have saved me in multiple games.
hell ya, glad to hear it!
I have watched 100 BG3 guides looking for this quality, and wouldn't you know it, my favorite ESO CC comes out with a guide that beats all the others. Should have checked here first! 😊
Amazing guide, can't wait to get in and play the game. Good watch while I wait for the install.
Amazing, spoiler-free, detailed guide. Best one I’ve seen for new players. Thanks, you’ve got a new sub!!
Just bought the game. So far so good but as there were a couple of things I wasn't 100% sure of, I decided to seek advice. The advice I got was "Subscribe to Lucky Host" When I asked what they were talking about, They explained you were a TH-cam Gaming guy who does awesome Beginner's guides. It's a good thing I realised who they meant - so I subscribed. About 8 hours later I got bombarded with messages saying "It's Ghost! It's Ghost! not Host! GHOST!"
I just started playing this game with my brother yesterday and we have no experience with D&D whatsoever. This guide is an amazing help! I tried checking out other guides and I barely understood anything that they were talking about. This is truly beginner friendly and extremely thorough. After watching this video, I feel soooo much more confident and excited to continue my adventure and explore the game! Thank you so much for doing such a great job!
Incredible and complete video. The game dosen't explain much and this video works wonders.
Congratulations my friend. You're awesome!
Fantastic guide! About 20 hours in and made me want to restart after watching this guide. Love that you keep spoilers out of a video that is an hour-n-half long. Great content, and you do a very nice job at explaining the mechanics of the game. This is without a doubt the GO-TO beginner guide for new players like myself. Thank you for the time and effort put forth into it. Keep up the content and you got a new sub from me for sure!
Fantastic video. Your ability to divulge critical information while refraining from spoiling anything in the game content-wise. Learned a couple of tricks from this guide, and I alreadybhave over 70 of playtime over 2 characters.
This man here...this is one hell of a guide. Baldur's Gate was never on my radar. I don't know how I ended up here. But now I'm tempted to pick up this game next payday. Hats off to you good sir.
Great video! 36 hrs in with a buddy and learned about 30% more information about the game by watching this. Great quality of life stuff I didn't know.
This was gold; all mechanics, all systems, no spoilers, as it should be! Thank you!
So easy to sit and listen. Not boring, and you keep my excitement level up. You relax me knowing when I'm overwhelmed and relax me when I feel nervous. I can tell you've "been there before". You're a pro, bro. Thanks for pronouncing "genre" correctly and thanks for calling ME a Legend! ❤
What a comprehensive, in depth guide. Exactly what I was looking for. You definitely deserve more subs.
As many others have said, I never comment on videos but for this one I had to. Baldur’s Gate is the first game I’ve ever played as a fledgling gamer and the UI overwhelm is huge. This video was so comprehensive, welcoming, and straightforward. Thank you for making it, I know the editing must have taken forever
Just got into the game 2 days ago. It's a looooooot to wrap your head around if you're not used to this kind of game, and this guide proved incredibly helpful. A lot of it is explained by the game, but still, in every section, there is something you might have missed or not thought of, so this is pure gold.
I'm so happy I found your fantastic video at the start of my BG3 journey... It's an overwhelming game for beginners... 😂 Thank you so much!!!
What a great guide. Definately needed this since the game itself hardly teaches any of these basics :)
Glad it was helpful!
After watching the guide, this is basically a video version of the D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook. Everything from turns to stats to backgrounds and even inspiration.
Don't normally comment on game guides, but this deserved it. A big thank you and well done as best i've seen.
Much appreciated!
I'm not done yet, but this already helped so much. The other guides I tried watching before this one always seemed to assume that I know how to play DnD which made the explanations pretty pointless to me. But this guide actually perfectly combined explaining DnD in the context of the game. Thank you!
This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on any topic.
I was so keen to try this game but it was so overwhelming because I’m new to D&D and games like this but this guide has been AMAZING, so thorough with all explanations, its like you picked my brain for all the questions I had and just answered them. You’ve sold me on giving it a go. (Ps. I’m going to play as a rogue first)
I watched a ton of videos before getting the game yesterday. It helped me get going and after about 5-6 hours I went back and re-watched the videos and NOW all of this info makes A LOT more sense, being able to apply it to what I've learned so far. I can't wait to get back into the game today, I feel so much more ready and capable 👍😀
This honestly has been the best guide I've seen. I've never played the BG games and felt intimidated with everything going on but this helps explain everything in a simple yet extensive way that is easy to understand. Greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into this video! It's a huge help for new players like myself!
Never played DnD. Never played BG. My wife and I just bought this and just created or character. We're SSSOOOOOOO clueless. Can't wait to get stated!!!
Same!! Except no wife lol
Just about to dive into the game, this is a super good guide. Thanks! :D
This is the best and most complete video i ve seen as a guide, it s really well explained, it s not too fast or too slow, it s perfect. Thank you so much.

Enjoy!
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you SO much for this video! This is such an excellent, well made tutorial; I simply cannot stress how helpful its been to me (and to countless others) in learning about all of the different mechanisms used in this game. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart: *Thank you so very much, my friend!* 🖤
I only wish I could find a guide like this for the console versions (specifically the PS5). While the vast majority of it is universal, there are some things that are a little confusing for me to find / figure out... though that's just mostly down to the controls and stuff.
Yes a totally comprehensive and understandable tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort on this.
This will definitely be my go to guide when I do start my BG3 adventure once I finish scratching the D4 itch. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your guides Lucky!
Great job! Thanks for clearly explaining crucial features without plot spoilers.
I'm sorry, but I just have to say this. This video is SO much better than the Fextralife one. I feel so much more confident in knowing what to do and how to approach this game. Like, yes I spent 90 minutes of my afternoon watching this, but imagine having only the Fextralife video to go off of and tackling this game. I would literally still be dying in the first battle against the walking brains with feet on the first level.
thanks so much for the kind words, it means al it that you enjoyed this video that much :)))
Thank you for this guide. I am completely new to this genre of game play. I have no clue how to play these types of games. But with your video, it has given me the ideas how to begin.

Love your guides! They're so helpful. The guide you made for final fantasy xiv was awesome, and this one doesn't disappoint either. Keep up the good work! 💪
Glad you like them!
Quick tip: if you're going for a ranged character such as a wizard there's a hidden melee weapon you can find fairly early that increases your strength to 15 (now 19 as of patch 1) while it's equipped, thus offsetting the disadvantages of having low strength for various things.
whats the weapon/where to find it?
@@nirisu6954 in the Underdark at the top of the Arcane Tower there's a stool called "Stool of Hill Giant Strength" that raises a characters strength to 21 while sitting on it. If you throw it it will break allowing you to take one of the legs as a club. Also the weapon's effect has been buffed as of patch 1 to raise strength to 19 instead of 15.
