- Baldurs Gate 3 Is The latest Role Playing Adventure Game Or RPG in the Baldurs Gate Series a line of games set to replicate the joy of table top D&D and bring them to life in video game form! Today however things have gone wrong as this isnt a perfectly balanced game in the slightest I mean can you beat this entire RPG game with just a montage of stealth kills and summoned allies. Well sit back relax and watch this funny baldurs gate 3 guide where I will be demonstrating how to destroy balance in the games systems by cheesing the stealth and summoning abilities! So what does this funny english bugger have in store for us well it will feature lots of Tea drinking, game exploits and probably a little bit of BDG3 being played normally! Now whilst baldur's gate 3 is a new game that wont stop us from diving into baldurs gate 3 early access and helping the developers with some balancing advice for these brand new baldurs gate 3 classes!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this adventure to see if this baldurs gate 3 gameplay proves the game is perfectly balanced or if my stealth only challenge and summon only challenge have broken the game! All Baldurs Gate 3 Combat from this point on is now a walk in the park with your immortal characters!

#BDG3 #exploit #challenge - เกม
Man the game changed a lot since early access first started
I do hope he revisits it!
Omg the game was still even looking pretty good 2 years ago. Dam this studio put in alot of effort no wonder I'm having a blast
it changed and talked about so much recently that i thought it was released this year
@@Friendly_Neighborhood_Dozer It was just recently released. Before that they had a multi year long early access.
@@SickEntertaining so they did the same as satisfactory is doing right now? Just keeping it early access until they think it’s 100% exactly how they want it to be?
"Accidently becoming immortal"
Yeah that doesn't sound like an exploit that's just DnD in nutshell
first reply
Coffee...
Glad i see you everywhere
I’ve never played DnD, is accidentally becoming immortal common?
Indeed indeed
It was actually pretty genius for the developers to give Spiff the Early Access of the game for free. He's sure to find all the exploits that they can then remove for the final release.
2 years later, final release, all these exploits still work
lol
@@biigsmokee In my run most of them didn't work anymore. Throwing Chests an picking them up for free is still in and the water pump idk.
All the others are actually removed (if its not bugged)
@@biigsmokeeact 3 is technically early access now but yeah
@@cccbbbaaa110uh no not "technically early access" the games FULL market release was august 4th 2023. Yeah act 3 wasnt finished but "technically" it is the full release version of the game and they are patching in the rest of act 3
Mad respect to the devs daring to send their game to spiff.
They do it on purpose to find exploits and cheese.
they got free work out of him, and he is happy to monetize exploiting it. a win win for both partys. the best trades in life imo
it was early access, they sent him a free copy and in return got info on several exploits and a good bit of advertisement
They gave the game to you for free because you're an advertisement and a game beta tester in one.
Win win all around
Didnt know this game was coming out, so I got entertained and the developer got a new customer. Perfectly balanced.
I mean, yeah; before the video I wasn't thinking about buying the game, after the video I'm legitimately considering it.
If this Baldur's Gate is even half as good as the first two, it'll be worth buying. It looks pretty good so far, even in this rough state
i will only buy bc of the character creation
I don't know, Spiff. This looks like standard DnD Rogue combat to me.
Hide in plain sight! Hide in plain sight! :)
thats why "hide in plain sight" was nerfed to hell in 5e...
the only difference is that in 5e you can only dash or hide, not both.
@@bow-tiedengineer4453 yeah but both crushes the core balancing of 5e...
and one alone already expoits the game in extremes, as you can see.
5E rogue combat in a nutshell yup, because having to do a little work for that sneak attack is too hard
Spiff was exploiting the game 2 years before release, he's just that advanced
Bro has ascended beyond the bounds of time.
did anyone lese notice he didn't really show the summons spam? he only showed using them for the perception check really.
He also said it would be a pacifist run, then proceeded to murder everyone
Yea I backed up the vid twice just in case I missed something...
Is Spiff exploiting fans now????
@@younger544 tbf, he mentioned that in relation to the summon spam. so if he didn't do the summon spam, he wouldn't show the "pacifist" run.
one of my favorite youtubers often does "pacifist" runs of games... where he pacifies the AI by killing them all off. it makes sense.
@@pharynx007 you woudn't be talking about my boy ymfah, would you? :D
@@cptKamina nah, quill18 and civ 6 and stellaris, though we make that joke in any game where he ends up killing all the AIs.
"How should we bug test our game Bill?"
"Oh.. well..~"
"JUST GIVE IT TO SPIFF" - One dude
which was genius of them, but asking for almost full amount for unfinished game is criminal, this game has far to many glaring issues.
@@kyotheman69 *No man's sky*. Might be another one of those, Give em time. Now they know their glaring issues and how it works.
@@kyotheman69 you pay full price for the full game at release + the chance to play it early.
@@kyotheman69 the way I've heard it explained is, that essentially it's a pre-order at present for £50 but you get to play the early access and Larian will actually listen to input from the community and it will help produce a better end product
@@kyotheman69 First, this exploit was on their forums. That's where spiff got it. He flat out lies in this video about it not being known. second look up the term, "EARLY ACCESS".
"Who doesn't like petting dogs?"
Well, Lae'zel and Astarion don't. But they don't dislike it either. In fact they feel completely neutral about it.
Nice.
As someone who hadn't played the BG3 Early Access, this video has only just appeared on my homepage. I saw the UI and instantly thought "god damn I want that mod"
D&D 5th edition is only balanced cause there's a DM to say "NO" when a player builds the most broken thing ever
I see your minmax Barbarian/Rogue, and raise you 1 Drakolich.
I mean, at least 5th edition isn't "my character can attack 5 times per turn and crit on a 9 for several hundred damage" levels of unbalanced like 3.5. Also doesn't have the dreaded "Locate City Nuke," thankfully.
@@SunchaserKandri In 3.5 you have a gm to say no to you. And in a video game you can shift the rules a tiny bit to make that less prevalent.
Either way, if you can't break dnd in some way, where's the fun? I am not saying to build munchkin, but I have seen the silliest kind of viable, decent builds using various odd methods.
@@Elmithian hah, and the least said about Pathfinder, the better.
Mythic Archmage Nightmare...
unless youre the DM's girlfriend. thats the true exploit
Love the fact that the stuff that our favorite Brit Is claiming is broken is way less broken then in actual dnd.
So YOU are the reason why all of my strategies in the now release Baldur's Gate 3 went to crap! Thanks, Spiff, I can only say thank you for the fixes.
I remember playing this during early access. Looking back at this it's phenomenal to see just how different everything was back then compared to now. For instance I completely forgot fire bolt left fire on the ground sorta as a counter to how ice ray can leave frost on the ground. I think they attached that to a magic item now?
Having played through the story at least once I'd love to see an update.
* Player attack in the shadow *
AI : Who's there?
* AI can't find the player *
AI: It must be my imagination
* Player repeat process *
Welp seem that BG3 suffer from the same AI problem than Skyrim XD
AI: It must of been the wind.
In Skyrim they at least come looking for you around the spot they last saw you.
Must’ve been just the wind... See this arrow shaft jutting out of the back of my head? It’s a very sensitive instrument to pick up wind disturbance, though admittedly it mostly sounds like a guardsmen death gurgle...
At least in Skyrim they investigate where the shot came from. These fools just stand there full of holes
An illusion !! What are you hiding ?
kind of fun coming back to this after the official full release, comparing what's shown here vs what I think is possible in the current release. like looking back at the game's high school yearbook lmao
i think the reason spiff got a copy of this game so early on was so the devs could use his video as a way to fix bugs in the game they knew exactly what they were doing
For as brokenly OP you can get, you still gotta watch out for those random lvl 1 frogs with their lvl 3 spells like Fireball & Shatter.
Moral of the story, don’t bully frogs.
LOL what frogs?
The one that killed Pongsifu in his play through.
33:14
In the episode that has a masked succubus in the thumbnail
Ah, the addled frog
is it me, or does it feel like the part about the summons is actually missing from the video?
Ya he takes all that effort to get his beast master to level 3 and then doesn't show them actually using any summons in combat.
@@Necromas i reckon it was an editing mistake
The summoning exploit is probably this: you summon a creature, take it to a non-hostile NPC, then tell it to attack (CTRL+click). This won't make the target hostile until it dies, at which point its friends attack, and even then they only become hostile towards the summon as long as yoyr character is hiding. After they kill it you can summon another and they won't be hostile. Rinse and repeat, kill off all the NPCs in the goblin camp, the druid grove etc without entering combat yourself
@@exantiuse497 it's true, but you get no xp.
@@NuminorChanel I'm pretty sure you do get the xp popup, although it may vary depending on what summon you use, I haven't tested the Ranger companions. And it's not like xp matters in EA, the level cap is 4 and you hit it way before the end of the available story

Well it’s not uncommon @@silic8873.
@@thaias9654 I mean I've seen him, yet this is the first time I've seen 2 comments in one video

Even when bodies disappear through terrain or walls, you can hold left alt to highlight interactable things and still loot them.
Did I miss the summons and the point of being level 3? I feel like I skipped a chapter for the homework.
Same
You did miss it if you haven't played DnD...but level 3 is the level you need to unlock your subclass and then unlock the ability to get a summon or summons
@@cinnastag I assume you mean beastmaster? Because in DnD which you mentioned, that is not how that works.
@@Arisorio I know, it was late at night and I was close to passing out when I made the comment, I'm pretty sure my tired brain thought it was sarcasm
@@Arisorio D&D =/= BG3 as much as they are trying to mirror one to the other, they're too invested in their DOS mechanics to do a proper job of it.
Example, you cannot stealth as a bonus action unless you're a rogue, but everyone in BG3 can stealth as a bonus action. You cannot "Summon" a pet as a ranger, you have a pet as an added character to your party. Firebolt doesn't set stuff worn or carried on fire, but in BG3 it does. The list goes on and on.
I can just imagine sven in larian looking at this video pleased with all this info
No new info in this video though
This is exactly how I played my main file, a Lv 1 Dark Urge Barbarian, who multi classed into thief at level 2, his main purpose is to hold corpses open locked things, disarm traps, and notice things with perception and investigation, the rest of the group has been reclassed into warlocks and necromancers each with 1st level as thief, the rest into their main class. They summon minions, resurrect the dead, use thief hide and cast invisibility. Its great fun.
Fun except the part where you lose a feat on everybody.
Please do more Baldurs Gate with the full release!!! DARK URGE 😈
"Child workforce strategy" is the best way to sum up your summon attacks, second only to "ww2 Soviet strategy"
Combined arms on a massive front, based on misinformation and maskirovka to lead your enemies into wrong conclusions? Or massive artillery bombardments, followed by an improved Blitzkrieg tactic, spearheaded by T-34's and followed by expert ground forces?
@@LuizAlexPhoenix based on spiff, he'll probably get all of that to happen in the game soon
@@LuizAlexPhoenix They were certainly not "improved blitzkrieg ", they were something else entirely. Wide front assaults by mass infantry formations held enemies in place, assaults were made by 'assault armies' (even larger infantry formations with extra artillery and assault guns) and tanks exploited the breakthroughs, destroying reserves with 'deep penetrations'.
Tactically the Soviets had not improved by much, and they were certainly NOT 'expert ground forces'.
Anyone here ever seen good will hunting? I bet @Luiz Alex Phoenix and @Mikolaj Goclon have!
@@nitecyde5922 with Matt Damon? Yes, I have
Am I having a stroke or have you not delivered on over half the exploits you promised at the beginning of the video?
This video is also in early access.
Well...the thing is...DnD players already know the exploit because it's possible in DnD...and the game is targeted towards DnD players
@@cinnastag Are you going to tell us the exploit or answer everyone's questions with your passive aggressive inane statements? Because I don't think Rangers get ANY companion buffs at level 3 in ANY version.
@@lyntoncollins2758 if you're saying that, then you clearly know dnd logic and should rethink asking that question
@Nikorasu Manshisouru Lmao, what a dumbass. First of all, the game is not faithful to DnD 5e in the slightest, it's a Divinity game with a splash of DnD.
Second, it is not geared towards DnD players, it's geared towards PC players. It's a completely different experience (like any DnD CRPG), see my first point
Third, none of the exploits in the video are possible in PnP (you can't summon unilimited amounts of animal companions as Ranger, improvised weapons always do d4 damage, firebolt doesn't set surfaces on fire if it hits an enemy, NPCs don't act like retards etc). Again, see my first point
I don't think you've actually played DnD if you think Baldurs gate 3 is some sort of accurate DnD simulator heared towards hardcore DnD players, lmao
Fire damage really shows the beauty of cramming a Divinity shaped peg in a D&D shaped hole. Majestic.
I know right? Half of the video he’s not even exploiting anything! This is the basic gameplay for most people! For as broken as divinity was, it still was SOOO much more balanced than this!
Like, sneaking takes 4 AP to perform, magic armor can fend off the elements, they looked at all that and was like “We don’t want to balance our game.”
Also, the rag doll situation seems like they tried to make something more realistic compared to “everyone weighs like clouds” rag doll in Divinity, except I’m pretty sure if you don’t optimize the HELL out of it to ensure every small bits on a model works with the system , a high-end rag doll engine can actually do more harm than good. Like what we’ve seen in this video.
@@andylagger551 Well it just gone into early access so I expect a lot of those things will be changed by full release.
@@eriksimon6567 My point though...is really, modern developers doesn’t know how to just be “simple” anymore, always chasing after the dragon. Losing sight of what’s important in the process.
This is very bad optics for Baldurs Gate because they had very good precedent, and with some of the recent PR troubles, they are really doing a LOT of harm to D&D...
@ Long story short, yeah.
@@andylagger551 Unfortunately Larian doesn't know how to make anything but Divinity. BG3 would have served better if they'd followed the original play style. They just tried to cram way too many environmental nonsense into the game.
Grabs my Scotland flag mug, pours a warm cup of yorkshire tea gold, adds a twist of lemon, and kicks back on the couch and rolls another great Spiffing Brit production and smiles at the excellence before me. Pure bliss... 😁

"I use my bonus action to hide"

"im gonna show you how to get infinite gold!"

yeah this video is a weird one. theres a bunch of things he said he was going to show but didnt
He did mention you can equip items that you are trading from the trader, sell it back to them was implied
@@milky_gelsoft821 But the traders have a limited amount of gold, so you can't keep getting gold from them. Maybe it resets when you reload?
@@moofy69 I guess he's like me and couldn't stand to play the game any more. What a horrible game to get the Baldur's Gate name. My god.
@@randomly-genrated it's got promise when it's fully released. But early access just makes everyone's first impression of the game really poor just so they can get advanced payment

Also never explained why Cheddar had to get to level 3? Or use him for any exploits that I can tell. Editing in this one is a hot mess.

i love games where you have the complete freedom to do whatever you want
No you don't
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 comeon man i want you to be able to do whatever you want in a game. i love it, i really do
DnD 5th edition does have an exploit, though you can't pull it off until level 17 and you have to be a wizard. If you cast Simulacrum, you can make a copy of yourself. Then that Simulacrum can cast Wish to make a copy of you, which can cast Wish and make another copy and so on and so forth until you have infinite copies of yourself.
Another exploit is commonly known as the Coffeelock, though should clearly be the Tealock. It's a combination Warlock and Sorcerer, and can be done with 1 level of Warlock and 1 level of Sorcerer. You can turn the Warlock's spell slot into Sorcery points, turn the sorcery points into a first level spell slot, take a 1 hour short rest to refresh the Warlock spell slot, and repeat with infinite spell slots until you take an 8 hour long rest by falling asleep.
Is multiclassing available in this game?
@@joshuamangnall No idea if it's in BG3 (though probably not yet). In 5e you just take levels in sequence and have the proficiency bonus of a character with your total levels.

@@azuraben5128 Mind you it wasn't anything practical, but I had an Oath of the ancients Paladin who had just hit level 16. At level 15 they stop suffering the effects of aging. Along the way through absurd luck he'd acquired a Tome of Understanding, and Manual of Bodily Health. Well as part of a rather elaborate trap he was caught in a pocket dimension in the feywild, where time moved at a /very/ accelerated rate. Time normally ends up being wonky in the feywild in a variety of ways but in this instance it was like a super amped up version of the hyperbolic time chamber. Seconds in the real world were centuries in this pocket dimension. It ended up being a solo adventure for him on the side, but it was intended for him to escape fairly quickly, and utilize it later by having the ability to return at will(the exit process involved having a rune branded on his hand that connected him and him alone to this pocket dimension) and just expose him to the reality of what it meant no to age. Except..I realized I could use it to get literally infinite wisdom and constitution. Obviously limitless Con is..cool but the limitless wisdom offered /VERY/ interesting story scenario's. The DM didn't realize this possibility but as a sort of gentleman's agreement if I used it too much I'd roll for insanity effects on my paladin going forward because of how old it would make him.
@@Zurezule DM could just rule that the Manual functions as normal but uses Material World time instead of Feywild time for recharge. Suddenly the exploit disappears. If ruled that the books recharge in Feywild time while in the Feywild, you could have a catastrophic event if any books finds its way into the hands of the denizens of the Feywild. Minutes later armies of effectively unkillable fey creatures could flood invade anywhere and just brute force everything.
@@anniedarkheart5224 There are hundreds of ways to balance exploits in D&D. Wasn't trying to imply that it was "unfixable". In our D&D groups/circles, if someone's creative or thinks of something, the DMs will generally reward it by seeing where it goes instead of bringing down a hammer that punishes a creative idea and forces them back onto the train-tracks. The DM could've simply stated that the abundance of magic within the Feywild caused the books to burn up after a single use. Our DM's aren't the type however to punish someone by force killing or forcing an unwinnable situation onto someone just because they get creative with the scenario's around them.
Cheddar Cheese looks like Kevin Spacey.

At least someone spelled it right...
congratulations, I didn't think I could possibly love this game anymore than I already do!
ur my fave youtuber and i was DYIIIIIIINGGG to wait to see when u did a video about baldurs gate... i havent even seen it just commenting before seeing it... IM READY hahahahahh GL and keep it up!!
"The ranger class might not seem very exciting"
*me who only plays archer in every rpg*
Huh?
In every DnD adaptation (BG, NWN) - the archers is not ”very exciting” in campaign. For example, is not easy at all to build a strong archer for NWN campaign.
I mean you could probably play a fighter archer, that actually tends to be more fun than a ranger imo.
As long as I don't have to touch whatever ungodly creature has attempted to defeat me.... Ill stick to archer
In the tabletop version of the game, ranger kind of blows. Its a fun class but if you want to be a strong mid-late game character, don't play it. Its just a shittier version of fighter that has some really sub par mix of druid spells and unique ranger spells. The 3-5th level spells feel like 2nd level spells...
In the game however, I'm sure it will feel VERY different. I haven't tried it out but tabletop to videogame, classes wont feel the same and also Larian said they were going to revamp the ranger slightly to make it a bit beefier and have a somewhat unique identity.
Give the ranger a try and don't listen to people who tell you not to play it because "fighter is so much betteeeer!" "Its like paladin but worse!".
Seriously, try it out.
Funny, because Fighter Archer (especially Arcane Archer) fare much better than Ranger as Archers
I liked the video immediately just in case I get special perks for being one of the first 6000.
Edit: Bummer, the great Chedder Cheese did not bless me by hiding and pelting me with arrows until I die...Why Spiff, why?!!!
Spiff will usually say what your special gift is if you're within the first "x amount" of people to like this video... Lucky for you, this isn't a Reanu Keeves Video lmao
@@mookfishtehwise and it's usually horrifying
Spiffing Brit, the unofficial Larian QA department.
I don't know if someone else already pointed this out, but when a body glitches through the terrain, if you hold the alt key, you'll find the location of the "lootable" body hasn't changed, and you can still loot the body by clicking the name of the body.
This is speculation really but I think that the A.I. are supposed to investigate the last known area that a character was located before they started sneaking, this area indicated by the pillar of light and white dot. I'm not sure if it's bugged that the A.I. stand around like idiots or if it's intentional, personally I hope they fix the stealth system.

More balanced than 3.5e (which isn't saying much) but less balanced than 4e (which would be saying quite a lot). It's a shame that 4e, the edition that would've worked best as a video game, is the only edition without any video games.

also spiff: complains about glitches and bodies falling through the terrain
For those asking about infinite money:
It's pretty easy. Get shadow heart to 3 for pass without a trace, have Gale hit lvl 3 and pick up invisibility. Cast invis on your stealer, have Shadowheart cast pass without a trace and be near your stealer, enter turn based mode on your stealer, go up to merchant, pick pocket. With both of those spells up most items will have pickpocket dc of 0 or 1. Steal everything to your hearts content. (Be careful of the Tiefling blacksmith in the druid camp, he's a bit bugged right now and will auto aggro even if he doesn't catch you.) Once the trader is bone dry, take a long rest, this will restock their inventory, rinse and repeat.
Hello Spiff. Nice that youre doing videos on Baldurs Gate 3, love the game having about 70h in the game already after trying various things myself. Something you might find interesting for another exploid in the game you may find after doing the Hag quest in the swamps. Not spoiling anything for everyone else but giving you the tip of trying out the fun stuff you can do with "the husbands undead body" :') I trust you will find out yourself. gl friend :)
Make sure to pick up "Bitter Divorce" for the exploit
As of two days ago I gave up soda and started drinking hot tea. Today will be my first Spiffing Brit video I've actually sat down to with a warm cup of tea!
Welcome to the light my friend!
So glad I made Spiffing the BBEG of one of my previous campaigns. The nefarious, scheming tea addict wanted nothing more than total conquest, exploiting the rules of the multiverse, of course.
I was waiting for you to utterly derp this game with exploits and once again you've never failed to deliver 👌😅
i love you so much spiff, u make my day everyday
The Spiffing Brit can find exploits faster than my computer can load the entire video

Is it a meme or people really are unaware that Spiffing Brit takes all intel from forum/discord boards ?
@@xXOniJahXx I mean I'm memeing, but he does take a LOT of info from online. That said, I believe he also discovers things on his own as well. But online resources help with more frequent content; as a content creator, he delivers the bugs and glitches in a very entertaining way.
@@MattariOnline ok fair enough. What did he find himself though ? Genuinely curious.
@@xXOniJahXx He's stumbled across some exploits that seem to be found nowhere else on the internet. If he thinks he found one, he mentions it.
The D&D 5e rule set is already exploitable as hell, adding it into a video game just doubles the exploits
How about quadruples it?
Infinity × 2 is still Infinity
So say some exploit that have on dnd 5e
as a RPG player for over 10 years and DM for 4 years I have never seen a broken character or exploit that hasn't been fixed
@@Sombriio
Maybe not long enough then. Neverwinter Nights was also based on the D&D ruleset, and the Hide In Plain Sight perk is just stupid overpowered. It allowed you to break off combat whenever and make sure 100% of your attacks are devastating sneak attacks, while most of the time the other characters do nothing back or get one major debuffed counter in before you vanish.
Rinse repeat untill all are dead.
You want to fight 30 enemies rated "Impossible" at the same time? With a shadowdancer with the HIPS feat, you can.
An episode about me! I’ve been waiting!
Your videos just make me laugh!
Spiffing brit: ooh darn im immortal
"Did no one test this?"
That's.... literally what this early access is for. Larian has been pretty upfront that there will be bugs, there will be crashes, and there will be exploits. Just like with DOS and DOS2, Early Access is a way for them to collect feedback and playtest info.
what do you think you're doing? why do you think they gave this to you spiff?
Once upon a time, a developer would extensively test a game internally (alpha testing) before deeming it mostly bug free and sending it out for beta testing where end-users would try it out. Here we have a developer charging money for an alpha test. Next they'll charge you money to write the game yourself.
@ *finally* someone else who realizes this is game makers being exploitative! you're literally paying for the responsibility to do a job that people used to get paid fulltime for.
@ Its not replacing qa testers though, those are still needed to test features and find bugs during developement. Even a semi-finished early access game needs a lot of testing before it can be given to the public. End-user feedback can be extremely valuable to see if people use features as intended, what is used how frequently and their general reception. How often have people complained about stuff during a beta but nothing was changed because its already too late since beta is pretty much a glorified demo? Larian on the other hand has listened to community feedback a lot during the ea of DOS 1+2 and changed or even removed systems that weren't received well.
I get that early access is a slippery slope thats exploited a lot and I personally avoid buying any game before release, but Larian is one of the few examples of how to do it right. They were always super open about their intent and even outright said you shouldn't buy it yet if you expect a polished game.
@ They probably won't even fix this wonky-ass combat either.
This sausage is happy about your game selection! Thx
This video is a nice stress test for the devs and designers at Larian. Lovely service you're doing for them (and it's funny)
Spiffing Brit: *is quite obviously British*
Also Spiff: *spells cheddar wrong*
"D&D 5th edition is quite a balanced edition"
*laughs in bard/cleric*
laughs in barbarian/rogue multiclass.
cries in ranger.
laughs in necromancer
*Starts laughing in Warlock then takes a short rest before finishing*
I mean, some monsters are not balanced as well xD
Devs are genius for making spiff the bug tester xD
gotta be honest of why i subscribed to spiff and watch he's content isnt cuz of how to exploit but just to hear that beautiful voice like omg i love he's voice so much
I thought this was a new video lmao. Why is this being shown to me NOW
I was eating when it came to the part where you need to create your "ideal" partner and when the results came up, I almost spat my food lmao
Great characters as always, Sir Spiff.
17:10 Astarion does his best impression of What we do in the Shadows :P LOL
Are you planning to come back to this game now it's fully released?
There are so many damn exploits you could highlight, for instance the blood of lathendar mace where you can do INFINITE AOE damage on enemies.
Or the secret legendary quarterstaff found in sorceres soundries which let you infinetly replenish your spell slots per turn.
So much wonderful exploits for the spiffing brit to make videos on and I can't wait!
"This is the female embodiment of cheese."
And suddenly my addiction to cheese is no more.
I literally watched a video of another yt doing a skyrim challange who said you where a coffee expert just though you should know :p
Must know thy enemy to defeat them
5:33 I guess that dragon had too much cheddar for dinner lol
Dog exploit that makes people sleep with you and doesn't hurt said dog? Just pet? 10/10, best game.
Woo-hoo do more bg3 videos!!!!
Fun fact: The ranger is regarded by many as the worst class in regular DnD
Yes. Just be a fighter with a bow.
5th ed wasn't bad tbh
Rangers don't really have the same amount of flair as maybe Wizards Monks but they are incredibly talented in certain situations which yes, can occur situationally or so rarely that makes them less appealing. However, for a role-playing standpoint I feel like Rangers have tons of potential, even if you're not the highest damage output of the party
Unearthed Arcana tho
Their play data and player surveys confirm that too. They are the least played class and the class people are most disappointed with (defined as largest gap between expected and actual enjoyment).
The biggest reason it hasn't received a balance patch, according to the devs, is that they couldn't figure out how to distribute one and it would be confusing to have both OG rangers and revised rangers.
You should absolutely revisit this game
I love this guy. Don't know how he figures all these things out so quickly though
3 years later and it gets released.
When your stealth is more broken than Skyrim.
Love the videos Spiff~
and I unintentionally can make use of this too... (I've got a Boulder I've been Dragging around, so, interesting to see how that goes~
Also... For those who don't know, when an enemy's body 'vanishes' you can hold the Left Alt to Highlight interactables, and still loot them~ ;p
Also, Wood Elves gain a Bonus to Stealth, so a Wood Elf Ranger, can make use of both things... xD
