This is definitely a game where I'll sit on the creation page for 3 hours, start, then realise I want to start again 😂
After playing years of DnD I can offer one melee build that’s pretty good on the action economy…
Fighter with battle master subclass. Pick riposte, have a high AC and now every-time your enemy misses you, you get an reaction to hit them back with a superiority dice of bonus damage.
Like most things it comes online at level 3. Other manoeuvres are also available.
And.... no one cares 😂
I would say try them all and see which the most fun, or if you have a dnd character bring it to the game
This is me every time 😂😂😂
I did that so many times for divinity original sin 2 lol 😅
The bard is actually really cool class I won't play. It's neat that they actually took the time to voice all of these skills and added the ability to play music. You can tell they put a crazy amount of thought into this game. They have my utmost respect, for the work they put into this title.
My thoughts exactly
I rolled a bard gnome, such a troll character 😂
@@VicRaptor2589The most charming gnome the world has ever seen 😅
@@Ebbagull The guy it’s the embodiment of “Rizz” 🤣
@@VicRaptor2589 Fantasy High was brilliant 😊
Thats actually pretty cool that your in game desisions can affect your oath as paladin, lotta games ive played just have it as an RP element
Yeah if you break your oath it changes you to the subclass Oathbreaker which gives you access to different spells and abilities
I think this is the only game where I had a difficult time choosing a class! The devs really did put in much effort into everything
Really? I have the same problem in every one of these games
@@user-qp8yp5et9y Depending on the game! I usually always pick the same mage and then Elf or something (I mean I did pick it again out of habit) but this game made me actually think alot before choosing my go to class for the first run!
nah
@@myersbabe24
Always go for tavern brawler monk
I wish these kind of games would have some kind of combat demo in the creation suite to be able to demo the combat and features of each class before picking them
It's called a tutorial level, and every time a game dev adds one everyone complains EVEN if it's optional XD
you can respec in this game so it would be useless
thats why theres this video
Exploring is apart of the expirience
You can respec at any time and you can also multi class so there’s really no need for it
Spent at least an hour and a half in the character creation screen just to choose the race class combo. Got in the game, saved, and went back out to do it all over again. 11/10 game just this part of the game alone😅
Yeah i spent an hour creating a character . 6 hour playing the game . But now i want a new character 😅
I spent 2 hours reading all i can on reddit
12 hours in, played each class thru to the beach. No clue what happens after the beach. Loving the variety.
Went with paladin for my first playthrough. Just seems like a good balance between being able to fight, cast some spells and have charisma enough to hold a conversation too. All around a good guy.
imma try that..ive restarted 3 times now, i just wana play :D :D
Until you accidentally break your oath and found out..
uh oh? :D@@WhatEvaYsay
@@WhatEvaYsayshiiii I kept it! Oathbreaker all day!
Thinking of a tiefling Paladin, does this sound like a good idea? Genuine question, I have a bit of D&D knowledge but not much.
Fun fact: BG3's class system is VERY simplified compared to 5e. They cut out dozens of subclasses, subspecies, backgrounds and features to make it easier for newbies. The Gith alone have four separate subspecies and 10 subclasses exclusive to them.
Probably will add some of those at a later date as a dlc
I agree, I think. Make it easier for newbies... You mean devs right? I guess there are senior developers as well who would struggle to handle everything
@@RobMedellinmate the amount of choices we have in terms of character creation is already crazy for people new to the genre. Of course he meant players.
I watched the recent 1 & 2 recap video and I'm looking forward to your continued, succinct and to the point coverage. Forget game of the year, this could very well be a game of the decade candidate. Props to the team on choosing whoever this guy is on covering this release.
As an aside, credits in the description with socials would have been appreciated. The editors and Narrator who put this and other BG3 coverage together, have been doing a really fine job and they deserve a little credit. Great job folks!
Cheers 🍻
Never played this series, but i loved Divinity so I’ll have to check this out on release.
Best baldur's gate 3 guide ever 👌🏻 thank you so much
Just pick an archetype you’re interested in, then pick the simplest class of that archetype. I went with wizard, and it’s been straightforward and self explanatory except for one thing: To change out spells, “k” to open your spellbook, and you can swap from there
Fun fact: The game DOES have a respec option. So you can undo your class if you muck it up.😁
how?
@@teviar7157 in act 1 there's an abandoned crypt. Fully explore it and find out. Already spoiled enough o7
You're a real one
@@teviar7157 You have to play a little bit before you get the option. I don't want to spoil it for you, but I can if you want.
@@Glitchunlocked no longer relevant. I've almost finished the game. Thank you
I really appreciated the game pad UI footage! Makes the wait for the PS5 version a little better
I’m happy that choosing the race has a effect on the class you play and same for background.
Im loving the sound of Bard, Paladin, and Druid :D
"The most important choice" but also one of the few choices you can change at any time.
Playing as a Druid sounds very intriguing!
Great video, even if i will not play for now, it's interesting to see how it works
I just picked this game up today. Haven't started it yet, but I know the character creation screen is going to be my new home page for a while. Might ever break out my PHB for 5E just to figure out my build. Not sure yet.
Great video! btw, 'ensued' means 'happened after' (re: the sorcerer class). Can't wait for the console version to drop!
haha my guess is that when writing the script there was a typo and ensure became ensue.
I think for the first play through I'll go with the simplest: the fighter. I have had easy access since it came out but have not really played to avoid spoiling. With a fighter I can get a grip of the other mechanics - it's a straightforward class. Of course, I'll be a dwarf.
did u end up doin this?
@@DemonSesshyy nah, he prolly still in character creation screen 😂
Nothing "basic" about fighters. You NEED them, and if you go human, the extra skill means you can expand his role into just about anything.
@@SignoftheMagi basic doesn't mean you don't need it. If anything it means the opposite. Think "basic necessities"
there are so many things to take note of in the game lol. its information overload
Thank you! This was very helpful!
i wanted to just have an idea of what i was getting into, but i was thinking about druid bc my favorite class is druid. and yup, my BG3 character will definitely be modeled after my first D&D character.
I'm stuck in the current cycle of starting a character, playing for a bit, wondering if I like tthat character, starting a new one... I wanna try them all haha.
I've found that having a healer or dedicated support is relatively useless, at least in my current playthrough. I've got supportive items and spells (Fog Cloud, False Life, Sleep, Feign Death, etc) spread across all my party members but I usually just take advantage of environment and items over health pools because I know if my enemies outnumber me, my healing actions might be worthless.
Are you playing on the easiest difficulty?
Just carry a bazillion potions on every character. Alchemy playthrough.
glad classes actually kinda matter here (i know you can multiclass) unlike in divinity original sin 2 where it just determined your starting abilities
indeed, which class is right for you?
(Fun 2d puppet theater of your favorite Origin characters ‘demonstrating’ classes) 😊

Definitely needed this guide 😬😬😬
I wanted to playthrough as someone who can talk to animals and also do charisma conversations (since I enjoy the story/unique dialogue stuff a lot).
I chose to be a noble Wood Gnome (so could talk to animals) cleric (with the animal God). I've put 12.5 hours in, but only just realised that the talk to animals skill is a spell you have to cast on yourself, so I thought all the "conversations" with animals were just interpreting them chittering or squawking and was kind of disappointed until I realised you had to cast a spell to do it first 🙃🙃
May start afresh with a druid and then do the animal talking properly from the get-go 😅
EDIT: Also if anyone has any tips please could you reply with them? 😅🙇🙇🙇
Woof woof woof woof
@@RobMedellinha HA! (in ostrich)
Made the gith woman into a mageslayer and it was awesome. Nobody can keep their concentration when she hits them. And the cleric is now a war mage, so _concentration for me, but not for thee!_
The druid has been awesome!
Great, I've narrowed it down to Bard, Ranger, Druid, Paladin, and Warlock 😅
My IRL character is named Henry Blackjack. A human Rogue/Fighter. A petty thief who grew up without parents. On the night of his 18th birthday he learns that he's a Lycan(werewolf) and that his father was an adventurer who angered the god of the wolves. The god tells him if he wants to remove the Lycan curse. He must Prove that he's a noble warrior by retrieving an ancient Fae artifact and defeating a vampire lord who's a warlock to an old god. Henry in his human form is charismatic and cunning and would rather choose to talk his way out of a fight. In his Lycan form he's a great warrior. If anyone wants to tell me their character I would be happy to hear.
You had me at "talk to cows...." !!!!!!😂😂😂. Worth the price of admission!
That trickery domain cleric comment was a swipe at Laura Bailey's Jester 😅
I started off as a war domain cleric, then moved to a oath of vengeance paladin. That character is for co-op with my gf, and my solo character started as a monk and then quickly switched to wizard. Having fun with the paladin, but 90% of the characters I’ve played on tabletop have been wizard and it’s easily my favorite class. I picked necromancer, as that’s my favorite subclass to play, but I’m tempted to switch to evocation so I can throw fireballs at a cluster without endangering my party.
patiently waiting for the playstation release i’m so excited! more guides please!
Me too. Hopefully the PS5 will ve even more polished, optimized and bug fixed! I hope it runs 4K 60fps (at least 4K DRS etc) and hoping for 120 FPS Mode as well - and official HDR VRR
I love to use a wizard and a rogue as combo.
I always use this is strategy and almost always win- I put 1-2 tanks melee in front where the enemies cant pass, can be in a wall hole or a long corridor...
then I use wizards invisibility on the rogue and go all the way back to backstab mages,support and range. the ai is so dumb sometimes that they will never notice the rogue destroying their back row while your tanks get all the damage, but the wizard / and sorceror can buff and heal the tanks. also have a ranger with good attack to initiate the battle, put her behind a wall on highground so her accurary doubles where the lower enemies miss it a lot. when that happens make your rogue back stab happily all you want, ai will be so distracted.
its a very fun strategy XD.
Until they use Teleportation to put your mage in front and the rogue slips on ice lol
Challenge yourself! Try fights without cheesing.
can you subclass a Rogue with Wizard, then it can invisible itself
@@TaylorDorsettlike most you misuse the term cheese.
Optimal tactics vs actual cheese (such as shooting through a wall where they can’t get you).
This writer is using fair dinkum strats
I don't have a lot of strategy lol. I play barbarian and my party is mostly fighters. I just rage and smash.
From this i realise im gonna do oathbreaker paladin with blessed warrior fighting style and then multi class to a warlock just because it'll be fun. That or tempest cleric
I’ve played 120 hours and I’m just excited for my next play through
i'm 100% gonna go with Druid and i'll speak with any animal i can
Probably the paladin since that’s my go to class if they’re in the game.
I can't wait for the ps5 release! So excited to play this
I don’t even own the game yet because I have an xbox…but here I am watching character creation guides in preparation LOL. I’m studying in preparation for spending several hours creating my character when I do buy the game.
I've been thinking of getting the game simply to build the character I'm using in my current campaign, a Half-Drow Fiend Warlock.
Bard is the most fun class by far!
I always choose some type of magic class when I play these type of games. I wish they had a necromancer class though. 🥺
One of the classes (I can't remember which class exactly, but it's whatever class Gale starts as) can choose necromancy as a sub class after he gains a couple of levels - same with your own character too if you choose that class ☺️
I love persuasion and influence might have to go bard
I did a Drow rogue. My first time playing Baldurs gate and never got into D&D.
Tbh creating a character is one of the best things!! I made a couple haha
Yeah I'm definitely going to do a bard+druid multi-class
I really wanted to play fighter but I also want to do all the dialogue stuff so I guess I'm going paladin. Oathbreaker sounds cool
Barbarians dialogues are a riot 😂
@@Gokenshibalmao I'm loving barbarian dialogues so far 🤣🤣 just intimidate my way through the game
Fighters don’t speak?
@@caprise-music6722 they so but it's kind of a waste to put charisma on them for dialogue checks whereas paladins need good charisma
I turned into an oathbreaker after Simping for Karlach. Very suprised to learn that it was a thing to break your oath.
Only thing I’m kinda sad about is my fav wizard class isn’t there (bladesinger) so I’ll probably eldritch knight
no doubt dwarf\paladin is amazing
I think im gonna make a character like my current one in a campaign. Sorlock eldritch blast cannon.
Do we know if half orc racial ability triples ALL crit damage? Or just weapon dice?
All of these look so goooood 😭😭😭😭
I'm thinking of making either a Female Half Elf Wizard wielding a wand, Male Half Orc Fighter wielding a two handed sword, a Male Halfling Rogue wielding daggers, a Female Tiefling Warlock wielding a staff, a Male Drow Ranger wielding a bow and arrow, a Female Dwarf Cleric wielding a mace and shield, a Female Human Paladin wielding a two handed hammer, a Male Dwarf Barbarian wielding a two handed axe, a Female Gnome Druid wielding a scythe, a Male Half Elf Bard wielding a lute and sword, a Female Half Orc Monk wielding a boa staff or a Male Dragonborn Sorcerer wielding a staff.
Same
love your dedication on this mate
You forgot:
Male Half-Orc Rogue,
With no stealth and instead all intimidation.
Where if he needs to sneak, he just goes straight up to the enemy, screams,
"YOU CAN'T SEE ME."
And intimidation let's him walk in
I would choose between my half elf wizard or half orc fighter.
My playstyle and personality fits rougue the best :D
This will be my first game like this, and I have NOO idea what race or class I'm gonna be
Have fun with it! No shame in restarting, and don't feel locked in by certain races for a class you like! You can pick your proficiency stats freely regardless of race!
I'm going either monk or ranger knight. Haven't decided yet.
i'm basically making my dragoborn warlock i use in my dnd sessions with my friends.
i wish the sorcerer, monk, and warlock had more sub classes and that the wizard had my favorite sub class order of scribes
Warlock have pact weapon, so technically hex blade is there.
Ranger all the way, played the ranger in bg1 and 2 as well as any DnD paper games I played in...
BG3 has been great so far...
i think i'll go with artificer when i eventually get it
All fun and can crush with proper gear.
I think i'll just pick druid because i am a tree hugging hippie at heart
The more I play and try to watch videos, the more I think I might not be smart enough to play lol. It's really fun though. I choose a half elf, Paladin Oathbreaker trying a dark Knight thing so I guess we'll see.
Fighter… it suits everyone and is the only class you should ever start a D&D campaign as. It gets the right saves for multiclassing. It starts with all the armor and weapon proficiencies. It has the best combat subclass (eldritch knight. No, battlemaster is mid in 5e and without bait&switch is just bad.)
Wanna play a wizard? Start fighter for armor prof and defense style and con saves and that sweet D10 starting hit die. Level to two for action surge and then go into wizard.
This is how every class should start.
just keep in mind you can respec in the first act :D
Can you make a pure ice magic user? Also is there a necromancer sub class?
this game will go down as one of the greatest in our generation
I made an Asmodeus Tiefling Bard. He's pretty dope.
Tiefling Criminal Monk basically just some street urchin who has been takin in by a monastery lol art of shadow ofc
I shall pick Paladin as i did all w Baldur's Gate and DnD games. Lawful Good with good charisma (Persuasion) and equipping heavy armors wielding the most OP sword(Carsomyr in BG2) in the game.
That moment when you spend waaaaayyyyy too long creating the perfect character…. Only to start and realise you didnt change the voice ruining the whole thing and needing to start over….. yeah, done that more tomes than id like to admit
game looks great.
what I love about 5e is that classes aren't race dependent ,you may have seen the halfling barbarian memes, but that doesn't stop you playing other odd ball mixes either, halfling paladin is my current build and Acquisitions incorporated made famous the grandmoth halfling monk Rosie Beestinger sometimes there are unexpected synergies, luck for a halfling paladin means I never rol a 1 in combat, and get a charisma and dex bonus making me even harder to hit with my magic shield and magic chain mail
A Druid…that’s actually GOOD!! oh man this is awesome. Now I know who to pick, Diablo 4 completely disrespected the Druid to oblivion. I’m so glad BG3 is getting a lot of love, I’ve been playing BG2 for years so this brings a tear to my eye.
Can you play this game in like a 1st person or 3rd person view?
What a great video.
So what to choose...😅😂
soo...I'm looking for pure aoe lightning caster build, should I go druid or sorcerer? I played pillars of eternity games a lot and my favorite class was druid for aoe thunder stun and sunlance spells. I don't know if its the same in this game
There's a storm sorcerer as a subcall of a sorcerer, so I think it should suit you 😊
@@Julia-wr9xu ok its sorcerer then. thank you
I’m having the hardest time deciding over a Druid, paladin and sorcerer
Exact 3 I was struggling with. Went paladin. It's not my normal route at all but I want to do a full 'good' playthrough and paly fits that well. Also happens to be insanely good so far.
I played druid and sorc in EA and both are great.
I'm guessing you made up your mind. What did you go with?
I've tried the game, its nice! I've spent more than 2 hours on my character creation lol! But I didnt like that I have to control 4 characters at once, is there any game that has similar class system but it can be played by only 1 character? Similar class system like depends on the choices you make you can go good/evil like for the Cleric ..?
i knoW I'm gonna spend more time in the character creation than I will in the game- I'll sit on character creation for hours, start the game, change my mind, make a new character, start again, etc
guys a i have a doubt, wich is the difference between the character you create and a companion? i mean yoour maiin charactwr have some advantage comparing of the same class but of a companion?
I’m playing a bard because I never ever pick bard like classes in any rpg so I’m giving it a go in this game. Just downloaded it and started last night. Interesting game. I’m determined to not look at any how to guides lol
How did you enjoy it so far
This is my first balder's gate game, so I think it's only fitting I use the first character I ever created: a lawful/good dwarven cleric, and executioner of Pelor.
I think ill be a druid dragonborn(white) sage during my first playthrough
This game looks so good on high settings. I have to play with everyone on low or else my computer would explode.
Paladin high elf for me 🎉
I haven't played any of these games BG1-3. And I'm really interested in this game. Is it good? Immersive? And most importantly how's the story?
I play MMOs and I picked this up because of hype. I haven't regretted my decision since 😊
Yes. Yes. And pretty good so far, you get quite a lot of agency. Since it’s built on D&D 5e, it is incredibly in-depth with its character-building.
Pro tip: The Player's Handbook is your friend!
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
It seems like if you want to be a tank you only have one option that would be the paladin
I’m tossing up between bard, cleric or paladin for my first play
2 for tanking your enemy, 1 for offensive spells, 1 for healing
No no. One to tank, one for skills and support, one for offensive spells, one for healing and buff spells. Can't ever forget the skill monkey!
