@@MrAkatango25X does have split screen it would always have it, series S doesn't. Personally split screen games use to irritate me and wont be using it
You can tell how much the devs REALLY poured their heart and soul into this game. They literally gave split screen co-op to a game no one would have expected it from but it absolutely makes sense. I was a diablo defender, i still enjoy it. But i think i'll be finding a few friends and seeing if i can get a group together for a from scratch multiplayer experience on the weekends. I've never played D&D but i've always wanted to.
Right? A lot of ideas that people have wanted since the inception of gaming, this feels like an evolution of Neverwinter Nights multiplayer experience, if they keep adding to it and make a DM mode for players to create campaigns this would easily take over DND gaming spheres.
Im really excited for couch co-op. My wife plays d&d but not many video games. This will be a cool way for us to enjoy each other's hobbies together. I can lean on her for her knowledge of how to play D&D and I can help her with interfacing with the actual game.
@@reflexdogtraining1337 Connect your PC to 2 controllers. During character creation for a new game, the second controller will launch split screen. It has to be a controller of some kind. mouse and keyboard doesn't work for splitscreen yet.
A way around the set party from the beginning mechanic of your friends want to jump in, is you can hire basically mercenaries you create from the undead skeleton in your camp. So you can create a chac your buddy wants to use and then have him switch to it.
cant wait for this game, me and a friend are already thinking of what characters we are going to make and what kinda stuff we will do. I can imagine us doing a lot of playthroughs with just how much this game seems to have going on.
Ok, first timer here at your channel. This was an excellent video, your narration skills and pleasant, easy-to-understand voice, the way you broke down this video into well put together chapters, and the detail and depth of the information has made me an instant subscriber. I really like your style and method of imparting the important info without any unnecessary filler. You will be my main BG3 content provider here on TH-cam.
This is going to be so much fun. My son is coming home for vacation and we plan on playing through as much as we can in those 10 days. It's going to be epic!
Playing DnD with friends where the Dungeon Master is God (RNG) sounds quite exhilarating! I look forward to the full release, plan on doing a blind playthrough without reloading saves with my best bud. We will deal with whatever the Universe throws our way, it is what it is and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Single player campaign (twice, at least) - Drow Warlock/Paladin hybrid and a Dark Urge Fighter playthrough plus 2 different coop games with different friends. Gonna be running into 2024.
Not a DnD guy but a huge gamer. My friend is in to DnD so weve been thinking about giving this a go together. This answered all my questions about best options. Thanks brotha
This game literally convinced my old man DM and several DND friends to finally get next gen consoles, anyone that enjoys DND should invest in this, Larian doesn’t disappoint and their innovation in RPGs is nigh constant, being able to get together as a DND group when some of the party is sick or only available from home will be massive in this day and age, it’s hard to get a group together but having something more accessible like this makes it far far easier to play. Can’t wait to dive in.
@@rileymcphee9429 Pfft, I don’t have $5000 to drop on a whim, and neither do most people, PC gaming just isn’t as easy to get people to buy into, especially when you can get Gamepass on Xbox and have the majority of big releases free or cheap, maybe if the economy evens out but for now I’ll sit on the couch, PLUS IT HAS COUCH COOP 🥰
@@mykanoble3196 hey, ust letting you know you can actually get the gamepass on pc as well, and its definitely a great value. you dont need to drop "5000" and the pc version has split screen as well
@mykanoble3196 mmm you can get game pass on pc too and for cheaper so you get all Xbox games plus pc exclusive games and if you have a ps5 then ps exclusives Xbox is kinda unnecessary
For multiplayer combat, don't know how important it is for immersion purposes or what have you, but you can also have someone initiate combat one at a time for ranged pre-emptive strikes, and then follow suit with the other party members out of combat, since their initiative hasn't been rolled yet. It can potentially shave down a few enemies before the fight is in full swing depending on turn order from the first initiative roll from party member one, and maybe make a fight easier to handle as you bring each member into initiative rolls one at a time, as opposed to all jumping in at once.
I noticed this while playing on the EA. I had disbanded the group, positioned all the characters in strategic positions, then when I initiated combat with my ranger I noticed the other characters that were sneaking and hidden were still able to move around and reposition.
@@jiaan100 It's all good, bud. It has nothing to do with dnd, it's about working around the rules to get free attacks and buffs. It's about how the mechanic doesn't represent real life (i.e. enemies aren't going to stare at each other in turn-based time while others are running around in real-time). So, yeah, it's cheese. I'm not saying it's BAD cheese, but it _is_ cheese.
Yeah it really adds so much more thought and play throughs and with friends they will be doing things you wouldn’t normally do so you see even more possibilities!
Great vid. Kinda wished you touched on how loot works in multiplayer. I played divinity 2 with some friends and having one guy take all the loot can really dampen the experience. Everyone you have been warned lol!
Careful, you cant remove friend's custom character from your party. So if they stop playing, you cant tell the char to stay in camp and switch to another origin char.
you can kill them, fill up your party, then use the skeleton NPC in base to revive them (i think, haven’t tested it but it works this way for NPC’s so probably!)
I and my friends will all be playing single-player play throughs. We are so bad that we can't even order a pizza. And there's no way in hell We could do a multi player game. Thanks
ever since the dark urg i have been super interested in seeing a good aligned main character encounter a dark urg co op player and seeing if their dialog conflicts ! im going to be honest i don't want PVP but the most interesting part of playing dnd with friends is the dialog and role playing and i feel pc games just have not nailed it !
from what i’ve experienced, i played dark urge warlock with a friend playing paladin (paladin ‘i can fix her’ mentality while trying to damage control constant murder rp) and we had to do most of the rp on mic, doesn’t seem like there’s too much character on character interaction with the multiplayer, which is a shame but still fun!
I'm playing single and multiplayer with my wife. My wife is doing the same. We created a character in each's party and occasionally hop into each other's games to play them. A way to try alts without having to replay the whole game.
Single player, custom, with custom coop local with my wife on weekdays; and surely several playthroughs with friends in multiplayer! Baldur's Gate 3 rocks! 180 hours in ea, AAA experience playing on a linux setup!
Yeah that's how a couple of my groups are planning it, going to be so much fun! I hope they use this engine and we see other campaigns brought into the engine, imagine playing DnD official campaigns like this
I've only played the game solo and normally this is what I prefer. However, I have a few irl friends who love the game and I think this is one of the rare times I would actually be willing to either join them or have them join me. I think that would also be a good way to show them cool stuff you did or found and have them show you too. I am currently on my 2nd playthrough and I am choosing different dialogue options to fit a chaotic neutral character and it's almost brand new for me already.
The random join feature sounds nice but i already know what's going to happen sometimes.... people join and instantly cast fireball on the own party. Wanna bet?
Also the host holds the saved data. It is not jum in jump out coop. You make a new character when joining your friends story. Or you both start from the beginning, but remember the host always has to start the game. Its like this because each character has there own story, you cant just leave your story and join a friends. Makes sense
This looks amazing. I can't find anybody locally to play D&D with. I'll be playing both single player and custom multiplayer with 2, possibly 3, others.
Single player. I don't really have anyone to play with. But I appreciate that it seems to be trying to facilitate multiplayer rather than just tacking it on. You know what would really put this game over the top? Some kind of mode where a person can build their own adventures and have control over the game world for their friends to play through. Basically allowing the game to be used as a virtual tabletop to play user created D&D games. Another thing would be persistent worlds. It's kind of a shame those aren't really a thing anymore.
List the first modern Dungeons & Dragons game I have ever played in 20 years for online gaming that feels like the creators actually sat down and played Dungeons & Dragons great job to the team who developed this
“As you enter the cave, you see a large owl bear across the cavern.” The rogue: “i rolled 12 for initiative”. The oath of ancients paladin “I dash toward the cave exit” dm: “you hear a screech behind you as the beast falls, the cave exit is blocked by the oathbreaker knight.” Paladin: “fuuuuuu…..”
@@roxasreturns2183 I was mainly referring to the various modes. BG3 has a drop in option, so as @nicholaswhite8275 says, I mainly meant agreeing to start together and play that particular playthrough mainly together :)
I just started playing the Early Access over the past week or so. 15 hours in, and it is incredible! Can't wait for the full game release. I feel like I could play EA for 100+ hours
Thank you BG3 finally a great game that I can play with my girlfriend that we can BOTH ENJOY WITHOUT HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER DAMN CONSOLE!!! Thank you Larion ❤
This is changed fron EA can you confirm where you found the info? in a 4 player from scratch if 1 player is missing you can NOT park their their custom char in camp you have to control them 4 custom char means 0 companions as you can not park a custom char.
My wife and I used to play champions of Norrath back in the day on PlayStation. We are looking forward to playing this especially since it's DD turn based. We used to play DD Friday nights back in the day.
5:46 would I want PVP arenas in the game? Well sure, why not? But the thing is, though I haven’t tried it yet, I’m sure you and a friend could just decide to engage in PVP anywhere if you wanted. But perhaps an arena could be a fun place to recruit a future companion?
Game looks great and can't wait to play with a friend. With computers being able to handle 2 monitors, can you do split screen and split it on each monitor?
I already know what I am doing when I t release I am going solo for the first playthrough then with a friend this game going to be huge already pre-order on PS5 can't wait
My friends and I are creating one with three sibling dragon born bards and a rogue/ theif who is a cut purse/ security for our bardic band called "The Blades"
I'd hate for them to spend resources making a PvP specific mode for BG3. PvP doesn't really work well with 5e as is, and there are hundreds of other video games better suited for PvP already.
Well about that feature; if you are near other people you roll only the best initiative and you move in the same turn... All good until you force push half of your meele allies with the boss down a Pit
I think we’ll share it but other people’s decisions won’t make me an oath breaker, I may refuse to fight or something like that though depending on the circumstance
What I feel down about is that multiplayer games like this don't have a gamble system for players to take part in the main dialogue, like Swtor. I wasn't super in to Swtor but their dialogue mechanics for multiplayer slaps. You all pick what you want to say, each player rolls automatically and gets a number, and the player with the highest number has their dialogue option picked with their character voicing it. I've never seen any other game implement this but it seems like the obvious mechanic to add for games like this.
You can also join other people's campaign in a lobby that have their play session open for others to join, you will join as one of their companions to control
Are you able to have a single player game alongside a multiplayer game??? I wanna play the game by myself whenever I want, but at the same time I wanna play with my friend when they are available
Multiplayer with friends sounds a lot of fun, but I have neither friends who play BG3 on PS5, nor do I have full control over my free time to be able to make sure I never abandon an ongoing session. I just finished my second playthrough at 320 hours total playtime. I was surprised that I get an epilogue this time; after googling a little I found out what I did on my first playthrough to cause me to miss this epilogue. No spoilers though. One bit that I would share is that, although I'm playing a good guy, I helped Astarion ascend and he's become such a prick in the epilogue LOL.

For multiplayer Can you bring a leveled up character that you created into someone game? Do you have to start a brand new one from scratch?
Lol that squirrel, the look of shock then drops its nut.
I already know what I am doing when I t release I am going solo for the first playthrough then with a friend this game going to be huge already pre-order on PS5 can't wait
I might get it again on PS5 lol
My friends and I are creating one with three sibling dragon born bards and a rogue/ theif who is a cut purse/ security for our bardic band called "The Blades"
love it!
I'd hate for them to spend resources making a PvP specific mode for BG3. PvP doesn't really work well with 5e as is, and there are hundreds of other video games better suited for PvP already.
Yeah I was just wondering what the interest was for it
@@TheNathanNAPALM it wasn't a bad question by any means, I was just giving my opinion to answer your question 😉
Well about that feature; if you are near other people you roll only the best initiative and you move in the same turn... All good until you force push half of your meele allies with the boss down a Pit
Shit happens!
😂😂😂
My Tav’s final battle wasn’t against the netherbrain but was against my Durge friend who wanted to break the world, I won and destroyed the brain
i love how bg3 never made a stupid excuse to why they removed a type of multiplayer ie splitscreen. IM LOOKING AT YOU HALO INFINITE
As a Paladin, will you be the one controlling NPC conversations?
One wince you're Charisma, two so you don't go Oathbreaker
I think we’ll share it but other people’s decisions won’t make me an oath breaker, I may refuse to fight or something like that though depending on the circumstance
What I feel down about is that multiplayer games like this don't have a gamble system for players to take part in the main dialogue, like Swtor. I wasn't super in to Swtor but their dialogue mechanics for multiplayer slaps. You all pick what you want to say, each player rolls automatically and gets a number, and the player with the highest number has their dialogue option picked with their character voicing it.
I've never seen any other game implement this but it seems like the obvious mechanic to add for games like this.
Going for a full multiplayer playthrough with my 3 boyfriends can't wait 🙏
Me and my friends will (hopefully) play this together at launch. None of us ever played these DnD games ever before so it should be interesting.
So one huge closed instance for 1-4 friends… Not bad, not bad at all!
3:41 I think these are the new or reborn 'dead three'. Cant' remember the character names but they resemble the three main villains revealed so far.
So wait, even If I play 4 player co-op none of us needs to pick a preset story character, we can all make our own from scratch???
Yes! That's how we've been playing, it is a ton of fun and VERY different than playing through the story in Single Player
Lmfao I love how the child got obliterated 1:01
What about people that never played a game like this one and have no friends that would play but dont wanna play solo
You can also join other people's campaign in a lobby that have their play session open for others to join, you will join as one of their companions to control
What I was wondering is how companions work in co op.
In Divinity whoever "recruited" the person was the one in charge of their dialogue and whatnot.
Now whoever the host (player 1) can decide who gets control of which companion
@@TheNathanNAPALM this was my biggest question!! thank you!
I am so excited to play a static with my friends!
Multiplayer from scratch sounds amazing!
It is!
Are you able to have a single player game alongside a multiplayer game??? I wanna play the game by myself whenever I want, but at the same time I wanna play with my friend when they are available
Haven't been this excited for a game since ghost of tsushima. Logged in 200+hrs during early access for BG3
Going to be epic, imagine how many hours you will log with the full game lol
@@TheNathanNAPALMExactly! Be prepared to lose 1000 hours of our lives my friend
So true!!
I hope they allow dual monitor co-op.
Good point, you certainly can do that with 2 copies of the game
@@TheNathanNAPALM I believe you can do it with 2 computers but only 1 copy of the game, although there may be a bit of finagling to get it to work.
im definitely playing multiplayer from scratch with some friends!
perfect video. I give you my like bro. thank you a lot.
No problem 👍
Multiplayer with friends sounds a lot of fun, but I have neither friends who play BG3 on PS5, nor do I have full control over my free time to be able to make sure I never abandon an ongoing session.
I just finished my second playthrough at 320 hours total playtime. I was surprised that I get an epilogue this time; after googling a little I found out what I did on my first playthrough to cause me to miss this epilogue. No spoilers though. One bit that I would share is that, although I'm playing a good guy, I helped Astarion ascend and he's become such a prick in the epilogue LOL.
Appreciate it man i'm hyped
It's gonna rock!
