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.
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.
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😅
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
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.
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.
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.
@@BeedrillYanyanit can be both though. Devs have to make sure the game is balanced. The complexity of the balancing act increases exponentially with each class added. With something like 8 races and 10 classes (I'm not gonna count them, I picked random numbers) that gives you thousands of different potential combinations.
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
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.

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?
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
Video is a bit old now but id just like to say if u pick the "wrong class" the game isnt over for you, you can switch class whenever you want at the cost of 100 coins
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!_
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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'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.
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
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? 😅🙇🙇🙇
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.
This will be my first D & D game and I'm super excited for it. Usually I'm not into turn based games but I really want to start trying something different. Bought it on at PSN, can't wait to get off work and check it out.
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 ☺️
Nice overview! I’m leaning towards the druid. But monk, warlock and bard also attract me. The other classes, do, too, albeit to less extent. I’m so looking forward to starting my first play-thru.
I think druid and fighter sounds pretty interesting and fitting for the character I have in mind. Thanks for the explanation. I'm very new to baldurs gate, but it's a very good and interesting game!
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 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
Its just like DnD for me, i dont bother with anything but Bards, Rouges or Druids. But this game just made druiding so fun! I love changing into animals
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
I am testing a summary bot. I would greatly appreciate if any feedback on how well it works. Here are the summaries for this video: * There are 12 classes and 46 subclasses in Baldur's Gate 3. * Choosing a class is a crucial decision in the game. * The Barbarian is a rage-fueled class that specializes in close quarters combat. * The Bard is a versatile class that is proficient in many areas, including support and speechcraft. * Clerics are powerful magic users that can fulfill many roles in a party. * Druids can transform into beasts and have access to a wide range of spells. * Fighters are versatile classes that can fulfill many different roles. * Monks are masters of unarmed combat and have access to a wide range of abilities. * Paladins are hybrid classes that can fulfill many different roles. * Rangers call upon the support of familiars and can specialize in the use of both primordial magic and multiple weapons. * Rogues are stealth and sneak attack experts that are proficient in many areas. * Sorcerers are naturally gifted magic users that channel their
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 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.
In the video it sounds like the stats are based off the class. While every class has a recommended set of stats in character creation you can reset all stats and assign them as you want. You could have a strength bard or a dex paladin.
Just be careful doing this, as your class abilities are based on your recommended stats. A strength bard might not be that great at spellcasting if they don’t have a high charisma too.
True! If you're running a low spellcasting stat make sure you dont take ranged attack spells or save throw spells because, your to hit and spell save will be bad. Buff spells will not be affected however. Nor will terrain spells like Silence, Darkness, or Spike Growth. @@corbanbausch9049
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
I've not made it past Act 1 yet. I've restarted so many times I had to take a break from the game. Coming back I'm already on my second character...lol. I need help.
@@tylervincent2559 The farthest I've gotten is the goblin camp, I think I've made 5 or 6 characters now? To be fair some of those were for multiplayer games tho lol
@@parrymylogicthen290 I play split screen multiplayer with my brother so the experience might be different for online players. It's fun but a little strange tbh? Unless you're the host the rest of the party just straight up wont talk to you. The only way I know around that is if you recruited them in that session, but when you load back into the game they go right back to the host. They can't even be put into a group with the second player. Sometimes player 2 will just get thrown into fights. For example with the boy and the harpies my brother went into the cutscene but I was thrown directly into the fight so I immediately got ganged up on by 3 harpies with no help until the conversation was done. And this might just be because we do split screen but the game likes to freeze and crash if both players are doing things at the same time, like one is leveling up and the other is changing their equipment. We havent gotten super far so those are the only quirks I've noticed, though it will be interesting to see what the game does with my character being a player 2 durge
I would have never considered druid for any other games due to things like w.o.w and such always seeming to butcher the uniqueness of the class but i think thats what imma play for my first go
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.
And if you want a broken combo, go cleric 1 and then druid the rest of the way and use the moonbeam spell and then sanctuary spell. You get to deal damage and your opponent can't touch you for 10 turns. Lol
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
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.
I finally downloaded this game last night. I look at the clock. Oh great I have about 3 hours to play before I should go to bed! 2.5 hours later I finally finished my character creation 😂

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
12 hours in, played each class thru to the beach. No clue what happens after the beach. Loving the variety.

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.
"The most important choice" but also one of the few choices you can change at any time.
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

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.

Good bot
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 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 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 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.
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!
you can swap class whenever. I wouldnt overthink it. ITs more your appearance you should stress over
In the video it sounds like the stats are based off the class. While every class has a recommended set of stats in character creation you can reset all stats and assign them as you want. You could have a strength bard or a dex paladin.
Just be careful doing this, as your class abilities are based on your recommended stats. A strength bard might not be that great at spellcasting if they don’t have a high charisma too.
True! If you're running a low spellcasting stat make sure you dont take ranged attack spells or save throw spells because, your to hit and spell save will be bad. Buff spells will not be affected however. Nor will terrain spells like Silence, Darkness, or Spike Growth. @@corbanbausch9049
Probably the paladin since that’s my go to class if they’re in the game.
I made an Asmodeus Tiefling Bard. He's pretty dope.
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Bard is the most fun class by far!
This looks like an amazing game but the character selection and customization…is just overwhelming 😅
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
I havent been able to get very far in this game because I keep playing for a while and then starting over to try a different class lol
I've not made it past Act 1 yet. I've restarted so many times I had to take a break from the game. Coming back I'm already on my second character...lol. I need help.
@@tylervincent2559 The farthest I've gotten is the goblin camp, I think I've made 5 or 6 characters now? To be fair some of those were for multiplayer games tho lol
How's the multiplayer? Do you mostly play with friends or just randoms?? @@ziwimiwi
@@parrymylogicthen290 I play split screen multiplayer with my brother so the experience might be different for online players. It's fun but a little strange tbh? Unless you're the host the rest of the party just straight up wont talk to you. The only way I know around that is if you recruited them in that session, but when you load back into the game they go right back to the host. They can't even be put into a group with the second player.
Sometimes player 2 will just get thrown into fights. For example with the boy and the harpies my brother went into the cutscene but I was thrown directly into the fight so I immediately got ganged up on by 3 harpies with no help until the conversation was done.
And this might just be because we do split screen but the game likes to freeze and crash if both players are doing things at the same time, like one is leveling up and the other is changing their equipment.
We havent gotten super far so those are the only quirks I've noticed, though it will be interesting to see what the game does with my character being a player 2 durge
"With 12 classes available" (Artificer crying after not getting in)
I would have never considered druid for any other games due to things like w.o.w and such always seeming to butcher the uniqueness of the class but i think thats what imma play for my first go
Druid is good in Baldur's gate 3.
If you want to be all about animals/nature, Druids are it.
Great video, even if i will not play for now, it's interesting to see how it works
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’ve played 120 hours and I’m just excited for my next play through
And if you want a broken combo, go cleric 1 and then druid the rest of the way and use the moonbeam spell and then sanctuary spell. You get to deal damage and your opponent can't touch you for 10 turns. Lol
I hope in DLC we can interact with our Warlock’s Patrons. If anything I’d love for us Fiend Users to take Mizora from Wyll.
“Paladins uphold justice at any cost” I will play an evil paladin and nobody will stop me
I would choose either a ranger or rogue
The game may have as many classes and races as the devs want, i'll always play the high elf wizard. Maybe if I'm feeling fancy, a drow wizard.
high elf wizard 🤝 human fighter
Tiefling Criminal Monk basically just some street urchin who has been takin in by a monastery lol art of shadow ofc
I am a healer Cleric with a Moon Druid, Barbarian and Rogue in a party. It is an elite combo, every boss fight is too easy 😅
My character is going to be a female Silver Dragonborn Fiend Warlock who later multiclasses into a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer
Monk human always basic and fun but at the same times requires teamwork with my AI. Hopefully you agree much love❤.
this game will go down as one of the greatest in our generation
Yeah I'm definitely going to do a bard+druid multi-class
just keep in mind you can respec in the first act :D
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
My headcanon is that that weird gnome-troll hyena thing from the preschool cartoon boobah is a baldurs gate gnoll
the githyanki on the bridge made me respect fighters.
I ended up taking a personality quiz to figure out what class I’m suited for 😅😅 I got paladin and chose oath of vengeance
Human Fighter only, Human Fighter always. From BG1 to BG3 and every other d&d crpg in between.
I’m tossing up between bard, cleric or paladin for my first play
Tbh creating a character is one of the best things!! I made a couple haha
Unfortunately another video that just reads off the class description text
I chose Gale. I didn’t really see many options to change his look.
You can't change looks of origin character's.
I can't wait for the ps5 release! So excited to play this
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.
I finally downloaded this game last night. I look at the clock. Oh great I have about 3 hours to play before I should go to bed! 2.5 hours later I finally finished my character creation 😂
