Baldur's Gate 3 for dummies: Basics for EVERYTHING You Need to Know (But Were Afraid to Ask)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for a little while now, and I - along with a lot of other people - have been enjoying it quite a lot. We’ve published a bunch of #BaldursGate3 tips and tricks videos, covering everything from combat and quests to multiclassing and making the most of your characters. But here’s the thing - Balder’s Gate 3 is SO faithful to the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset on which it’s based that if you’re coming into the series completely new, you may struggle, even with tips. Just like a while back when we published an Elden Ring for dummies series, now we're doing the same for Baldur’s Gate 3, explaining in the very simplest terms the most basic mechanics of the game for people who feel a little lost but still really want to give this incredible experience a fair shot. #eurogamer #dungeonsanddragons #dnd

This is excellent thank you. All the other ‘so called’ beginner’s guide videos still have a tendency to assume some prior knowledge of this complex system, whereas this REALLY is for beginners. Well done, a priceless video for us genuine newbies XX.
Exactly!
Currently restarting my solo playthrough having sunk 20 hours into the original now I've learned from mistakes
But I can safely start again now that I understand about 13% of the mechanics
The way I choked when I read tgat last sentence. I think I’m currently at a solid 2% understanding lol.
I also started over playing about 5 hours not knowing there wasn’t autosave and I needed to quick save but regretted how things turned out so I gave up lol
I can't believe how little the game explains how to play
That is a legitimate complaint
@@Thomasnminot really, im new and yes i get confused you just have to read the screen
Can u read?
Ill admit at first I was REALLY put off by the learning curve, I havent played dungeons and dragons or anything like that because I live in the middle of nowhere. I had to look up a few long videos on how to properly play BG3 but it finally clicked!! I ended up reinstalling the game twice because I thought I had wasted my money on a game I thought I wouldnt play again but boy was I wrong!!!!!!!!! I'm 340 hours in and still loving every damn second of it. Trust me guys the learning curve is worth it!!! Dont give up on this masterpiece.
Great guide. Where I’m struggling is the leveling up and deciding how to progress each character. I was prepared to roll play MYSELF but didn’t think I’d be building my whole team with such intense detail. It’s intimidating.
Just pick what seems cool and fun :) I'm serious.
I'll give you a few tips re: subclasses, though.
1) Keep Lae'zel as a Battle Master. It's straightforward AND powerful
2) Keep Astarion as Arcane Trickster. People might rave about other builds, but I swear by Arcane Trickster because the spells etc. have SO MUCH utility.
3) Keep Gale as Evocation because this allows you shoot off area of effect spells and they won't damage allies, fire and forget mode.
4) Eldritch Blast is god. Your Warlock will spam spam spam it. Pick abilities to buff it.
More on spells and cantrips...
- Mage Hand is your best friend. The enhanced Mage Hand is one reason why I love Arcane Trickster.
- Watch for spells that require concentation. You can only have one up at a time (per character).
- Don't underestimate seemingly "useless" spells like Fog of Grease. Utility spells are... well... useful.
- The moment you get Counterspell, take it and equip it.
That's all I can think of for now :P
You are the only one to explain how spell slots work and why I keep running out of spells without knowing how to check how much mana it had used or whatever dictates it. I now know it's all about those blue squares! thank you.
Totally new to this kind of game. I'm almost embarrassed to tell how long it took me to realize that I could reunite my party. I thought it was a glitch when my companions stopped following me. Another thing was when the game went into turn-based mode while I was walking through a trapped isle. I realized after over an hour that I could just turn turn-based mode off.
I'm in the same boat I feel like a little kid learning to ride a bike
Actually, it sort of is a bug when your companions don't path properly and follow you. But it's easy to deal with and I'm nitpicking :P
How did you reunite your party? 😅😅 I'm playing on xbox
@Miag_vip go to the party menu and look at the button configuration under your character list. It'll tell you which buttons to press while the menu is open so you can unite your units and disband your party
@@TPerez1021doesn't work if your party member is too far.
This is excellent thanks! I'm m in my '60's now and only just getting into d&d. Played Gloomhaven for a year or so till covid, but no video games. Anyhoo, my son let me know about baldurs gate but I need really dumbed down basics. Anything you can do to pick apart down to absolute basics will help this old novice. 😊
i hope you are having the most wonderful day right now :,)
Haha, I'm 51 & just downloading the game .
54 and just bought it on Sale! I am going to listen to Black Sabbath backwards while I play it for the subliminal messages 🤣@@h.b.2847
I feel like I need to take a class to figure out how to play this game. I just started playing on PS5 and I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't think this cleared it up either.
Yeah, i'm about to return it lol
Did you end up figuring it out? Hesitating on buying
@@amya_25 Yeah, for the most part. I mean I don't get how every little thing works, but it's a great game. Have enjoyed it immensely.
None of these tips note how useful SHOVE is. Need to get away without wasting an action on disengage or taking and opportunity attack? Shove the enemy. Park a tank at the top of a ladder and shove enemies off as they climb up for massive damage. Need to pick a fight with a faction whose leader is conveniently standing next to a death pit or lava? Guess whose dying before the fight even starts. Shove. Very strong.
changing gear during combat is also an action. e.g. equipping a pair of gloves, weapon or head gear for a skill or perk you want to use in the battle.
I learned this the hard way when switching between torches and weapons
@@NaturalAegyo oh dude that SUCKS! Every ... damn .... time! 😅
This is super helpful, and one of the best quick breakdowns I've seen of both D&D and BG3. I'm new to both, and about to start BG3. THANK YOU for all the great videos on this intriguing but complex game.
Bard is one of the better beginner classes for one simple reason; Jack of All Trades. Excels at charisma checks, yet it is capable of also being proficient at a number of other checks in all other categories.
I fuckin love my bard, lying, persuading, singing, dual wielding hahaha, love it
One of my favorite classes
I've started my first playthrough as a human bard, it looks pretty cool so far, also I have no prior D&D experience.
Yeah I was getting crushed as a paladin which I got to the mausoleum on act 2 and got frustrated so I started again as a bard. With like a slight better understanding of knowing what I’m doing and the op powers of the bard it is night and day easier on act 1 so far. I’m actually terrified thought that even if I level up as much as possible and do everything, I still might get pooped on in act 2. The game can still be harder than dark souls on explorer. I still love it though and I will do everything in my power to hopefully complete it at least once. Best of luck to anyone else struggling
I HATE top down, turn based games, but Baldurs gate 3 has become one of my favourite games of all times, that’s how good this game is.
Seriously, if you’re not sure, please give this game a chance, but please, please, please role play when playing, because that’s where this game really shines. This game rewards players who use imagination and creativity, and play to their characters strengths.
Most of my favourite moments from playing this game haven’t even come from combat at all, but rather trying things that I wasn’t even sure was possible.
Experiment, throw yourself at the experience, have fun!
I agree! It doesn't matter what people paid to stream hype about it, when one gets into the game one finds plenty for the own playing style & favorite char romance thingie. 🤗 Gnome R.A.T. (Rogue, Arcane Trickster).
you sound like every first time D&D player, in a good way ofc 🤣
I love this comment, 'cause I normally avoid turn-based games, but everything I've seen about BG3 so far is drawing me fiercely to dive into it, and I certainly will. Thanks!
I hate turn based games, when I play Baldurs gate 3, I can't wait to get to the next combat encounter and figure out how to solve it.
Someone who understands these types of games 😊
A very good primer for BG3 and D&D in general! Really appreciate it Aoife!
I got four hours in and realized I was not having ANY fun due to overwhelm. Steam wouldn’t give me a refund so I kept trying, set it to easy mode and I will say it’s getting a bit better. I still find the combat and movement quite tedious, but at least I have some idea of how to strategize. I am still sort of regretting buying it tbh because I’m such a casual gamer. Wish the steam refund window would extend for such a long and complex game.
Play controller if you don't already, you can play the game like a third person rpg that way that's how I play over mouse and keyboard
Yeah, I wanted to get it, but I think it's going to be a hard pass for me. I am decent at games, but this just looks to be too much. Not really interested in another game, I have a few, that I am just going to rage quit, Uninstaller, and never touch again.
Still wondering how this won Game of the year ??
Proficiencies for sure are important to explain, because the number of times I've seen a cool piece of gear, slapped it on Wyll and found he could no longer cast spells is too dang high.
I think it's also a good idea to explain surfaces, as they're a huge part of Larian games, if not 5e D&D as much, so showing some of the consequences of standing in different terrain, getting high ground, etc
Great video, always love to see your content!
Currently waiting like a crack head at the spot for this fucking timer on my ps5 to finally hit 00:00
How do you set a timer on pS5?
Yeah, I accidentally ran through some glowing vine-like plant and became ensnared. When I got out I was left bleeding from my legs (leaving bloody footprints everywhere I walked) and had to have Shadowheart waste her healing spell on me. /fail
Watched this even though I don't need it.
And I have to say, this is an EXCELLENT guide for newbies. Good work.
I’ve played for like 10 hours so far and have no idea what I’m doing. I’m playing on the easiest level and I’m still dying constantly. It’s ruining the game because I can’t DO anything
Edit because people lack critical thinking skills: I play on ps5. Nowhere was there anything that said "do this to access a menu that explains eveything". Maybe my game was buggy, maybe not, but either way it took me until my third playthrough until the tips and tricks started actually prompting me. Sorry that my personal struggle ruined your lives I guess
i recommend saving as often as possible. i also have no idea what im doing and i have 200 hours into the game, i just google things im confused about
Read some of the better guides to help
Well I’m 10 hour into the hardest difficulty and still have no idea what’s going on and dying left and right lol. Best friends will be manual save DO NOT TRUST AUTO SAVE
@@CollectiveDivineConsciousness after 280 hours I’ve finally finished the game. It got easier after a while. I will NOT be playing on Tactician mode. Good luck buddy
Skill issue
These things were all very well explained for beginners, thank you. Also this may sound odd but so many people narrating things do a terrible job at making you want to keep listening to them talk. You do very well at not talking in a monotonous tone and adding personality to the dialogue. Keep it up! 👍🏻
I DMed D&D e5 for over last 2 years (2 weekly meeting for 6-8 hours per month). Spent over 50 hours i BG3 game. Amazing tutorial from you Aoife!
Thats so cool, what made yu get in to D&D? and how did you find people to play with?
i’m not too familiar with their most recent edition of dungeons and dragons, but I grew up, playing the pen and paper versions during second edition. I feel like even so it wasn’t too hard for me to get back into playing this type of game. I just watched what the enemies were able to do and got an idea how to play better
Thanks for the video!
I’ve played a little bit of D&D and listened to campaigns before, but this was still useful as I still don’t have a lot of experience
As a from soft noob your Elden ring video helped me so much and I love the hell out of that game now, so I’m confident this video will help with BG3 too!
I'm an absolute noob to any dnd but this is such a good game till this video I have just been winging it but now I have a good amount more knowledge thank you 😊
Good rundown on some of the nuances of the mechanics, Aoife!
Romanced Gale since EA because who can resist Tim Downie's wry sass? So I must admit I cannot empthatise with people who got bugged with the wizard coming on a little too strong to them.
Could you talk about some story/character details you found appealing yourself? I for one am intrigued what you made of this campaign.
Thank you soooo much for making this video ❤ It's exactly what I needed. I'm loving the game so far, but the amount of mechanics and choices is completely overwhelming to me.
A very useful video, Aoife! Not just for BG3 which I'm SO excited for on PS5. But also for D&D in general, which I'm having my first ever game of on the 30th September. 😄🎲
Some hot goss here - I somehow was able to romance Lae'zel. I mean - I was NOT prepared for that. Apparently I was able to be ruthless enough to grab her attention. This game keeps surprising me with each turn. Thanks for a great explanation for us beginners (I've never played D&D but have watched some Critical Role recently so my experience is limited).
Thank you for this. I’ve been waiting for this game for so long, and i knew it would be a tough endeavor since I’ve never played DnD , but fuuuuuuuck, did i underestimate the complexity of Theo great game. I’ve watched many beginners guide and they still left me wanting to shit in my hands and clap…. Until THIS guide, an actual beginners guide. Thank you for it. I’m looking forward to future videos that you can give us regarding learning this badass experience.
i started playing BG3 last night not knowing a single thing about DnD ... now im hooked to both thanks to your video
An amazing vid for people who have no clue but would like to learn
I’m still having a hard time just navigating the screens. Some of the stuff shown in this video (character screens) I have never seen before. Some of the stuff Aoife described was, “Do this to x,” and I was like, “How?!?”
Please do include some lore for the Baldurs Gate 3 settings, it's world, races and their conflicts with each other. Would love to get invested in this world if we know a little about it.
try listening or reading 🤓
I have a level 3 ranger, who shadowheart thinks is the best person in the world, thanks for the guide, defo a dummy in training
Thank you for the video! Very helpful and very well done
It's what I would like to know for BG3 is to be careful before gets to the next Act I just want to get everything at Arc one before I get to the next, like what triggers it and is there anyway I can romance with goblins?
I'm on my 3rd playthough, and I can remember how embarassed I was and how I was struggling at the beginning. Do not give up people, this game is something else!
More combat videos, people do not want to miss the best game, ever made, but they will if they give up & don’t learn the deep combat, don’t feel bad & take your time learning the systems of the game, your not alone.
Yeah, I was wanting to get this this game, but I've been scouring videos and comments about this game, and, frankly, I think it's all just a bit much. I 'm sure the game is great. I haven't heard many people say it wasn't... However, I think it's going to be a hard pass for me.
@@williammoyle1655if you can play pokemon (you can) then you can play this
@@williammoyle1655 it's really not that hard if you just take a little time to learn, I only play games like sims and animal crossing so something like this is way out of my comfort zone but I am still having a blast and have most of it down now.
@@sneaky5141 Not at all. Baldurs gate is overly complicated, and a thing for people that want a very deep roleplay gameplay with hundreds of stats and variety. If you can play pokemon, or any normal game, you cannot play baldurs gate without studying it for a while.
@@Guzioo you arguing doesnt make anyone else wrong
yea im enjoying ther game and new to this kind of game. issue im runing into is im treating it like a arpg/mmo and going in trying to kill... idk i think im figthing things to high for me. im currently lvl 3 trying to do this quest of kill the goblins and one of the bosses is like lvl 6... i dk where i should go to grind up lvls or what the right path for my lvl
Going over the hud showing settings of where things are, how to edit and modify.
This was super helpful! Thanks you! Out of curiosity does anyone know what the name of the song at the end is? I can’t find it on the official sound track
My top tip: download the wasd movement and immersive camera mods :)
Struggling to stick to a play-through myself
I've played D&D 5e so the mechanics and gameplay i understand, really enjoy the small tweaks they've added
But just feels like im doing something wrong, like race, class, ability scores, etc
And then that nagging "gamer pride" if i dont play a certain difficulty, or a certain way
This reviewer seems to forget mentioning to save, save, save your game, you can even save on the roll dice screen!
The last D&D game I played was Solasta: Crown of the Magister I didn’t really enjoy it but I’m so excited to play this 😆😆😆
Controller related gameplay stuff would always be nice. I'm playing on PC and not all the stuff is very intuitive XD
Like for example - I had to search online to figure out that items are stored under the Character Sheets menu 😂
That was the last place I thought of looking as I thought it would just be a stats menu of the characters and not their inventory as well (i was trying to figure out how / where I can drop items from my inventory)
Great video, thanks. Would love to see a video on how to increase chance to hit. and maybe some examples of battles and what people do. Theres so many things to do in battle that I just would never think of ( and outside of battle, like throwing a party member across a chasm)
Awesome. Thanks for this. more please!
Takes a while to get to the useful game tips, but the info is good afterwards.
I am still so very lost on how to play the game, but I guess I will learn as I go along
Its so popular on TH-cam It's really difficult to avoid spoilers lol
I am intimidated to play this bc i feel like i have to watch 20 guides. The real question is: the game worth it if you have to constantly do side research to keep going? Who found it enjoyable while having to stop and learn?
I actually have no idea what I am doing, but I love the game :D it has been a really long time since a was taking things so slow in game as I am now in BG3, it is just sooo great....and I guess when I learn how to play it will actually be even greater :D
I really like your way of exposing core mechanics and core concepts , what would you advice for a compete new ie on DND and BG3? I read experienced ppl spending g. A good few hours only just to prep their character :-/?!
I'm a complete dnd newb as well. Google "dnd basic rules pdf" to get a 200 pages "instruction manual". Very cool if you're ocd and you don't mind a bit of reading. Enjoy!
This straight up sounds crazy but fun . I've played WOW . So I understand binding & spells . Kinda what i'm going in with . A good thing my daughter plays . She can help me . 😂 Downloading the game meow .
Might be a dumm question but how do I turn on enemy cone of Vision on controller? Would be Handy to know on ps5
This was very helpful. Not only have I never played dnd, I’ve never played a video game ever. Bg3 is the first game I’ve ever played at the ripe age of 20. I have a LOT of figuring out to do.
hell of a first game lmao
Damn. Not even minecraft? 😅😂
i soooooo want to play this game but WOW even beginner videos are insanely overwhelming !! 😥
I am 100% the target demographic for this video 😂 so thank you very much for the help!
This was a great video. I got the PS5 version and have tried a couple of different characters and I feel like I am still unsure what to play. I have not gotten very far into the game at all but I think I rested and it ended up removing a quest from my journal. Any tips on how to recognize which quests that could happen to? Thanks.
The game won't tell you in most cases, so you have to look them up. Sometimes the description will mention a number of days left, & each long rest will tick the world over to the following day. Short rests, exploration, & combat don't move time at all.
@@nightcatarts thanks for the tip
Well I guess I am joining the club of the lost ones Lol. Never played or read anything DND but had to jump on this highly recommended by a friend, and I am about 10 hours in story mode and I am understanding it a little more but still have no idea on the grand scale of the game Lol. However.. I am enjoying it fully very much.
I have played many video games and the combat in this one is beyond my comprehension
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you, I a dummy here! FPS to this? .. never played DD. Trying a different type of game here and boy o boy I needed some one like you.
True story (But a bit long! Sorry!) I count myself as a gamer. I truly do. But my first taste of the MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online playing with a guild of people made me question whether I was allowed to have that title or if I actually was a fraud. I felt anxious that I wasn't following their game-savvy lingo or the game mechanics and I got cross with myself for being slow to be able to manage a build for the first time. I'd come from games where it was story based and beautiful and that was the experience. Anyway, after playing with the guild I'd selected who were friendly, if a bit more hardcore than me - I tried becoming one of them by learning the mechanics and grinding extremely hard for so long to get the 'right' armour/weapons/various different fragments of things that have to be put into another thing that had to be combined with the OTHER other thing etc etc.
And you know once I did it and had it down, I was told that the satisfaction with the build I'd created would be a substantial gaming high - I learned instead that I was making myself sad. I took a look at what I was doing and I asked if I was having fun playing the game and the answer - shockingly - was nope! natta!
I'm reminded of Viva La Dirt vid - th-cam.com/video/QJW_8EcNzUY/w-d-xo.html
I retreated from ESO to delve back into Okami, Skyrim, Zelda, Telltale and story based games or indie games that appealed to me and I had a blast!
My point is that coming here and hearing you say that it's ok to be a little perplexed is such a huge weight off my anxiety. I've been bullied a fair bit (especially on ESO grouping with a random) and people use the phrase noob which just makes me want to quit playing with others altogether. (What a terrible term to exclude people! Surely encouraging gamers into playing and trying harder helps the entire franchise and it's fans!) Why did it take me so long to realise I wasn't a dumb, idiotic, clueless noob - I was someone who had achieved the heights of that type of gaming and said: "No thank you. I'm gonna do my own thing!" 😂
Anyway, that's all. Thank you for this guide ❤❤❤
I just bought the game from the holiday sale on PS5 I was on the fence so I played the two hour trial I loved it.🥂😎
So helpful, thanks
I play ttrpgs but not a lot of video games so that's the guide I really need lmao
is this game strictly single player and you control a party, or is there some sort of online cooperative mode I can play that allows me to interact with a friend?
additionally, was all this complexity built into the game from day 1? seems like an immense learning curve if i opt to try this - what's the 'real' longevity rate for brand new players?
you can play with friends yes up to 3 others in coop. @@baldASLsigner
@@baldASLsigner There's co-op where each other person plays a different character in the party, but I believe you have to begin the playthrough as co-op if you want to do that.
Also, the learning curve isn't that bad. Just piss about and see what works or doesn't; you'll pick it up pretty fast (especially if you've ever played turn based RPGs or turn based squad strategy games before). What takes time is learning all the spells & abilities and how they might synergise with one another, but you don't need to know any of that to begin with & the tooltips on everything (along with further explanations if you press T & click a highlighted term) are quite good at explaining what's what.
Online co op up to 4 players. They aren't restricted to each other. Players are free to go wherever as long as it's in the same act. Ex. 1 person at camp, 1 at town, 1 fighting somewhere, and etc. Other players can hop in anytime up to 4. Let's say u started a 2-player session and later someone can hop in with a created character. The whole story can be completed co op or solo. Co op session can be continued to be play regardless if other players are on. Those created characters will become party members controlled by other players.
Excellent Video 👏🏼
I suck so bad at this game. I think I do a good job exploring, and still like miss everything. I missed Gale, I missed that corpse guy, I miss so much. I'm playing on explorer and still get my ass kicked every time I enter battle. It's so frustrating that it almost makes me want to stop playing, but I still do.
Are you playing on the easiest difficulty? Don't let combat ruin the experience
@@elbojoloco Yes I am, still getting my ass handed to me almost every battle. That's what's so frustrating.
Been thinking of purchasing this game. Never played any others of the series.
How is the story and how is the combat? Like is it right into the action or turn based?
Any help/tips would be great. Thanks
just don't buy it man. You will regret it is not beginner friendly at all and it will only frustrate you
If only it was an action rpg
I really want to like bg3 but I cant play my lone dark swordsman play style at all. I hate having companions and would much rather do literally everything myself but this game forces you to have them because theyre part of the story. Maybe the D&D game style just isnt for me. Like in a big group of enemies I have to wait for every fuckin enemy to finish attacking me before I can attack only ONE enemy and then its back to letting enemies smack me around. Maybe im just missing something but is my play style even possible..?
I have no idea about DnD games. Im a fairly veteran gamer in general though. Im just gonna go through my first playthough without worrying about understanding or perfecting everything. One question I have is, is there NG+ like souls-likes or do I need to create a new character and a new save file entirely to play a second playthrough. Not sure how long the game is and if I even will be able to play a second playthrough, but good to know in case.
There is no NG+ like the souls games. What I did was load my save file before the last boss and then went back to do quests that I'd missed. The main story quest is long. I think I finished the final boss around 60 hours and I skipped a lot. My only advice is to take your time and do as much quests and exploring as you can because once you between acts you can't go back. Once your in Act 2 or Act 3 you can't go back to a previous act. If you miss quests or screw one up the game does adjust the story going forward but you can't go back.
A brilliant guide Aoife
I really want to get into this game but it's too much too damn hard to follow and I feel every way I play is wrong
i appreciate this video, thanks.
Great video!
I have a question. I have the ps5 version .. how do you combine gold in your inventory. I have like 10 different stacks in my inventory and their is no combine option like the pc version you right click. I’ve tried everything I can think of. I know not a major problem. But it’s bothering me. Lol
happened to me. no idea what you're supposed to do, but what I did was just throw all stacks on the ground. when you pick them back up, they auto-combine
In the inventory , you can sort your stuff by weight or type or how much it costs also just drag gold onto other gold , it will only do half amount, you can get it to do all fill up , money and gold is different but both is good for buying at merchants , + if you open all companions inventory you can drop stuff between even in fights like healing potions or revive the dead potion throw it at your dead companions , healing potions can be thrown at companions feet too heal a few together, hope this helps
I went into this game without knowledge prior thinking the play style would be like Skyrim and was put off at the fact that I couldn't just freely attack as I prefer being in full control of my character and am not a fan of turn based games lol.
I bloody love this community :-)
Thanks! I was afraid to ask
Using thieves tools for lockpicking took me 16hours to figure out
Thank you. Don't go to the Devenish alone!
This is definitely a game that I could only play with someone who knows what they’re doing and could guide me.
Any BG players living near Eastbourne, England? Lol
Wtf is with the spoiler intro when this is a beginner’s guide…
Fr
Frechheit
Thanks for commenting, managed to avoid it :)
I’m glad I reas the comments first thank you. This is why I im afraid of searching for advise. I just got the game and want no spoilers but is my fist game that’s like this.
I don't really see how it's a spoiler, personally, but I guess people's threshold for what constitutes a spoiler differ and that's fine
excellent video
I need a 'tips for massive thickos' now.
Been having a heck of a time with Bg3 getting my butt kicked … so I figured I would see what I am missing…. About 70% of the way through this video I said to myself “yeah, this is for dummies, I’ve already got all this” Wish I would have found you a month ago….
Not lost just looking for some BG3 content while at work 😂
Thanks 👍🏻
so i just discovered something amazing and im not sure why I haven't seen anyone else has try this... If you are out of spell slots and have no camp supplies just spend 100 gold to respec with withers and boom you get all your slots back.
Why not just spend about 40 gold and buy 40 camp supplies and rest?
How often are you resting?
Camp supplies are all over the place and easy to loot
Love it thanks
There is a rediculous amount of things to think about. Tough
I just don’t understand how im supposed to fight 20 guys who all get 3 moves each and i die after the first round of everyone’s move. And shadow heart cannot land any attack despite me spending money to reconfigure her stats.
She ain't meant to attack she's meant she's meant to buff and heal
I thought Knife of the undermountain king was from a Gith trader in the Creche?? Am i tripping?
still confused but ill watch it again 😂
I'm going to be playing a heavily modded version instead. Currently I want to romance everyone 😂
