@@davidwilks4123 Its definitely a great looking game, but its not really ahead of its time. Its where it should be, which is the best thing for it. Id say that its gonna be great, and even ground breaking, but I dont think that its going to be above any pedestals we have. But I could be wrong too. Ill have to wait and see.
@@davidwilks4123 It's not laziness or incompetence. Not every triple A title can be a RDR2 or a BG3. That's what makes those games stand out from the rest. It is okay for triple A titles to not push the envelope and just be fun, average games. Those games also have a place in the industry.
And just like an actual table top game in multiplayer you're going to get sidelined by the bard player trying to use his special bardic dialogue in every conversation web possible, and you're going to get sidelined when the Rogue inevitably starts a fight with the town guard, and that Druid that just wandered off that you're not going to see for another two hours? That dude is on a vision quest.
I'm super excited for Baldur's Gate III because I have been wishing to play DnD for a couple years now, but never could because I was/am friendless lol
I think the reason Half Elves were picked the most was because of their stats. +2 charisma, which is used for a lot of the classes, and +2 pick another stat so you can build them for specific builds too. Very useful
@Adurnis even humans? Makes sense to make sure all the other races are balanced though, cause when planning out what race should be what class, half elf was like the top choice for 6 classes.
@AstralBelt Hot take: they're all hot. I don't know what it is, but Lae'zel is working it. She's got that "I'm the best you'll ever have" confidence going for her, and I respect that.
I love the Dwarf design. 1. Their posture, standing as tall as they can 2. They are broad as heck 3. Male or Female they all get beards! These are the Dwarves I know and love! Side note: Strength based Dwarven Characters can jump further than they can run :D
Any STR based character can add further move distance with their jump. I can't remember if it's 2.5 or 3 ft of extra jump per modifier of STR but basically with 20 STR and jumping before you use the rest of your movement(including vertical movement) adds 25% move distance total. For this reason alone I say don't use STR as a dump stat for any class, but it also lets you throw that strength based dwarf just a _little bit_ closer to the enemy for his turn. Also you pick up the subclass barrelmancer by default with STR above 14. TLDR: STR best stat in game and I will fight with my superior strength on this.
As I grow older sometimes i think "ok, thats it. Gaming isnt fun to me anymore. I dont enjoy it anymore like i used to. Games cant catch me anymore, cant draw me into their worlds." And then there are games like this and BOOM i feel like a kid again and my love to videogames is renewed and my enthusiasm restored ❤.
This sums up my feelings exactly. I feel like AAA developers have gotten complacent, and we're used to seeing the same game engines over and over again, and it doesn't capture us anymore. Then a true gem comes along and it's all new again.

Yes I am so ready now. Orcs are my favorite race in all of anything and I can finally at least halfway be one! I was so sad for the longest time seeing no Orcs anywhere on the playable races screens
Such amazingly relatable people, it's so fun hearing their thoughts on the game and hearing what kind of people they actually play. Not enough devs play their own games! They def have me sold on playing the dragonborn sorcerer as well haha
we get 11 races which I totally believe we get more down the road for sure and I love how each race got different status and also some race even benefit the class you choice to so you got choice the class which fit the right race
Never say never, but I wouldn't count on it as unlike other RPGs, BG3 has a lot of reactions to one's race and introducing new ones would require a lot of additional voice lines.

Played DOS2 a ton. Race mods for that game are notoriously finicky. Larian is pretty good at long term support with DOS2 and I'm hoping they will do the same for BG3. Even if it's just quality of life tweaks, they don't tend to do huge expansions and paid DLC as much.
@davidwilks4123 PS, I'm not a kid. No stranger to games being overhyped and under delivered. I remember Fable's hype train as it was happening and Oblivion's promises of intelligent NPCs with schedules and goals that, in reality, lead to a few random thefts and murders.
I used to play a character who started out as your pretty bog standard Rogue Halfling but he died and was reincarnated into a half elf, which was still completely manageable for the class but then he died again, and was reincarnated again, and this time he came back as a Gnoll. A Rogue Gnoll may not sound like a good idea in theory but it was definitely in practice. There was nothing that character couldn't deal with through stealth, dexterity, or brute force. That campaign is long over but I hope that at some point more niche races like these can be added to the game so he can live on.
I would love it if you could do a Dragonborn Draconic Ancestry Sorcerer and choose a different color dragon so that your character could have multi-colored scales, such as being a White Dragonborn with "stripes" of Gold scales. I think aesthetically it could make Dragonborn even more interesting, while also adding the potential of giving them two elemental resistances and/or breath weapons. Or maybe a red Dragonborn with some Silver scales. And it could even make for some fun RP possibilities as the Dragonborn tries to explore their mixed draconic heritage.

Going to be rolling a Dragonborn Oath of Vengeance Paladin. My First Baldurs Gate game and not intimately familiar with D&D so big lore people let me know if that combo doesn’t make sense for some reason. I guess the beauty is you can make anything make sense in this world.
If every video game company was half as good as larian studios I would never stop gaming. Any dlc you guys make I'm buying just to support the company I'm so sold on you guys
Technically mind flayer is a playable race since you can save during the transformation scenes before the game ends then load that save and your party will all be mind flayers. WIth their original animations and voices still, but mind flayer powers.
I hope we get some really sick dlc or an amazing set of mod tools to fill in some smaller more niche gaps. I really want to see a undying warlock patrons or a race like firbolg and goliaths
Am I the only one who's curious about how the romances of halfling player characters will play out in game? After that Bradley Cooper scene in the D&D movie, I'm expecting that they've probably put quite a bit of thought into this. 👀
Started to play the early access version just a few days ago with a friend. Got us both hooked and now we're very hyped for the full release on Thursday! Incredible how much love they put in this game, can't wait to play the campaign!
God, I really hope the game is polished and very playable upon release. I'm so scared to get my hopes up only to receive a disaster on launch, like so many AAA titles have been the past few years. Please be good!!
I feel like that'd be too much work to do well. They claim that there's reactivity to player's race and even race/class combo, if that's true it'd be a huge task to add a new one.
The glamour bard I play in several campaigns is an "Eladrin" (coughArchfey) who, through unfortunate circumstances, has been leveled down to match the rest of his party. He gets through the world disguised as an elf, so I guess playing him as an elf in BG3 means it's still working perfectly. 😂

Don't simp blindly kid. Always trust but verify first. Baldur's Gate III is so far ahead of every other game ever released, even the almighty RDR2, that no other game will be able to be a 10/10 after its release. All these devs saying "oh please don't compare us against them", are just lazy/incompetent. The only game to eclipse them will be Starfield of course. Since Starfield will be the first 11/10.

This game is gonna break new ground for the RPG genre, I can feel it. Excited for Larian to finally get their due when BG3 is inevitability in talks for GOTY.
I can't believe that I'm going ro miss out on it because xbox won't let them drop the series s version 😭😭😭
5:20 Dwarves rock you say?

Keep the BG3 vids coming! They're great!

@@davidwilks4123 Sorry, that last reply of mine was a bit mean (hard not to be when surrounded by all the hate on the internet!).
Glad you're excited for all those games, I ain't "blindly simping" anything, not sure what gave you that impression, but BG3 looks to be much more my thing than Starfield (which I doubt I'll ever play, personally).
To each their own tho! Have fun with the games you like!

Hope this channel has lots more BG3 videos lined up though, the ones released so far have been a lot of fun!
@@OneWingedRose Don't bother, this guy is either a bot or just weird. He's copying the same reply on a lot of comments.
love the chemistry between the devs -- they emanate enthusiasm!
Glad to see tieflings, but I miss the bright counterparts. Any chance to see the aasimar again?

You can tell how much love for the game and the D&D universe the devs have. Couldn't be more excited!
im crying from happiness inside my soul i love rpgs i love divinity and divinity original sin 2 and im gonna absolutely love baldurs gate 3
Always find it nice he says game director for these over I am the CEO and game director. Every CEO I have to work with never misses a chance to remind you of that title, regardless if it’s relative the topic of the role they did in a project.
this game seems so massive. i can see myself playing this for years to come.
so what if that devs favorite halfling NPC is Regis "rumblebelly" ? that would be dope asf
Dragonborn Monk, here we go. Now just need Way of Mercy.
As someone who plays a Drow whenever I can I'm now even more hyped about this game
It's weird seeing sven without armor on.
I love this studio they put so much passion into their games
Yes I am so ready now. Orcs are my favorite race in all of anything and I can finally at least halfway be one! I was so sad for the longest time seeing no Orcs anywhere on the playable races screens
CANNONBALL HALFLINGS I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED THIS BUT NOW I DO
Tieflings look really awesome in the game. They are also my favorite. Some character faces are simply beautiful.
Really excited for being a Drow! =)
A great variety! I would love to see Genasi added some day - my personal favourite race to play
These two devs look like Gnomes themselves.
I wanna replay this game as a member of every playable race. I missed this era of rpg's
Such amazingly relatable people, it's so fun hearing their thoughts on the game and hearing what kind of people they actually play. Not enough devs play their own games! They def have me sold on playing the dragonborn sorcerer as well haha
I need to be able to fastball special all my teammates. Make it a feat
I'm a little bummed that they have demons but no angels.
we get 11 races which I totally believe we get more down the road for sure and I love how each race got different status and also some race even benefit the class you choice to so you got choice the class which fit the right race
Anyone else holding out hope for more races later? Want to make my Tabaxi fighter.
Never say never, but I wouldn't count on it as unlike other RPGs, BG3 has a lot of reactions to one's race and introducing new ones would require a lot of additional voice lines.

Played DOS2 a ton. Race mods for that game are notoriously finicky. Larian is pretty good at long term support with DOS2 and I'm hoping they will do the same for BG3. Even if it's just quality of life tweaks, they don't tend to do huge expansions and paid DLC as much.
@davidwilks4123 PS, I'm not a kid. No stranger to games being overhyped and under delivered. I remember Fable's hype train as it was happening and Oblivion's promises of intelligent NPCs with schedules and goals that, in reality, lead to a few random thefts and murders.
I used to play a character who started out as your pretty bog standard Rogue Halfling but he died and was reincarnated into a half elf, which was still completely manageable for the class but then he died again, and was reincarnated again, and this time he came back as a Gnoll. A Rogue Gnoll may not sound like a good idea in theory but it was definitely in practice. There was nothing that character couldn't deal with through stealth, dexterity, or brute force.
That campaign is long over but I hope that at some point more niche races like these can be added to the game so he can live on.
I can already see myself as a dragonborn paladin or a human warlock with lovecraftian powers
This game is gonna be so frickin sick
This is going to be best game in ages
I would love it if you could do a Dragonborn Draconic Ancestry Sorcerer and choose a different color dragon so that your character could have multi-colored scales, such as being a White Dragonborn with "stripes" of Gold scales. I think aesthetically it could make Dragonborn even more interesting, while also adding the potential of giving them two elemental resistances and/or breath weapons. Or maybe a red Dragonborn with some Silver scales. And it could even make for some fun RP possibilities as the Dragonborn tries to explore their mixed draconic heritage.
I'm surprised the grand wizards of the coast allowed them to use "half elf".
I can't wait to play this on Ps5. Larian went all out with this game
Me too! Hoping for good looking visuals and solid 60 FPS on PS5 as Larian promises!
I am glad they came to their senses and are releasing on console. This game was suppose to be a Stadia console exclusive 😅
Wow all these cool races I know what im gonna pick. Human Barbarian.
Definitely going with a Jarlaxle inspired Drow Bard/Rogue.

@@davidwilks4123 Are you ok?
@@davidwilks4123this is weirdly hostile dude. You didn’t need to call him a kid, and also he’s not simping for BG3. Jarlaxle has been a D&D fixture for literal decades.
Going to be rolling a Dragonborn Oath of Vengeance Paladin. My First Baldurs Gate game and not intimately familiar with D&D so big lore people let me know if that combo doesn’t make sense for some reason. I guess the beauty is you can make anything make sense in this world.
Man this game is going to be fire!! I hope Hobgoblins become playable eventually as they are one of my favs, plus their models are already in the game
Also a huge hobgoblin fan. If nothing else modders will make them playable, even if you dont get the cool racial dialogue.
"Elves are the most picked race"
I can hear the disgust and disappointment in his voice
Elves fit the role of not being human but not being very far from human. It's being fantasy but not too far out.
I'm looking forward to trying to create a Dragonborn who is a Sorcerer with dragon blood with opposite elements.
Me: wow, all these races are cool! Also me: *picks human*
There's a part of me hoping we'll get more races post launch, maybe as DLC or something. I want my Aasimars, lol.
Key questions to ask when choosing a race:
What's their lore?
What's their attributes?
Can you throw them?
If every video game company was half as good as larian studios I would never stop gaming.
Any dlc you guys make I'm buying just to support the company I'm so sold on you guys
Tiefling, Drow, Gnome, and Gith look like stand outs to play for me. But what to play first!
I'm definitely gonna make like two or three different saves because I will be playing as different characters! I just can't choose one.
I'm torn between Tiefling and Drow. Overall, the character / race designs are looking awesome. Can't wait for release day.
Technically mind flayer is a playable race since you can save during the transformation scenes before the game ends then load that save and your party will all be mind flayers. WIth their original animations and voices still, but mind flayer powers.
I hope we get some really sick dlc or an amazing set of mod tools to fill in some smaller more niche gaps. I really want to see a undying warlock patrons or a race like firbolg and goliaths
The Devs seem to mix up Githyanki and Gitzerai. The latter are the monks, no Githyanki are anything but monks.
The first big online purchase for me) This game will rock for sure!
I would have loved to play the villain's race, or a monstrous thing. Even a goblin would have been fun. I'll try the Gnome
Definitely will be playing either, Dragonborn, Dwarf or Half-Orc
giving humans 20 weight limit bonus makes them more interesting to play than +1 to all stats or 2x +1 with a feat?
Dude what?
Am I the only one who's curious about how the romances of halfling player characters will play out in game? After that Bradley Cooper scene in the D&D movie, I'm expecting that they've probably put quite a bit of thought into this. 👀
3:35 ok that sounds amazing, but there isn't enough halfling hirelings to make this team if I play solo, no ?
What I got from this:
Halfling: Throwable
Dwarf: Not Throwable
Gnome: Very Throwable
Started to play the early access version just a few days ago with a friend. Got us both hooked and now we're very hyped for the full release on Thursday! Incredible how much love they put in this game, can't wait to play the campaign!
Maybe I’ll make a Drow with, like, two scimitars
I've got my calipers ready
There is a hype train and i got aboard years ago cannot wait till august! :D :D
God, I really hope the game is polished and very playable upon release. I'm so scared to get my hopes up only to receive a disaster on launch, like so many AAA titles have been the past few years. Please be good!!
I hope we get Aasimar and Genasi at some point down the road.
I feel like that'd be too much work to do well. They claim that there's reactivity to player's race and even race/class combo, if that's true it'd be a huge task to add a new one.
"Cannonball build" that just killed me 😹🤣
I really hope they add more races in the future...
I really want to play as a goblin!
larian: half orcs and half elves are fun
wotc: we are removieng them next year due to them being problomatic.
this game will destroy what little is left of my social life
Do hope they add extra races post-release
"No one tosses a dwarf"
I hope we eventually get Aasimar and Genasi
Criterias to pick characters when playing BL3 :
1- is it throwable?
2- profit
played half-elf back in BG1&BG2 as a kid. going human in BG3.
No matter how many times I swear I'm going to play a different race this time, I ALWAYS end up as a half wood-elf. I just can't help it.
The glamour bard I play in several campaigns is an "Eladrin" (coughArchfey) who, through unfortunate circumstances, has been leveled down to match the rest of his party. He gets through the world disguised as an elf, so I guess playing him as an elf in BG3 means it's still working perfectly. 😂
Im playing has a tiefling who got adopted by a noble family and her guardians made her focus on Druid knowledge and animal care
Im having so much fun with the world building ^^
