One thing i love is that BG3 is one of those experiences that gets better the more famiar you get with it instead of geyting boring once youve played it one time. And its surprisingly concise for how sprawling of a game it is
im really enjoying your input on the game. ive done 5 playthroughs now of the first chapter. i started one recently split screen with my brother and spilt screen is rough but he became interested enough now he might actually buy the game to play pc to pc. ill say just the 6 different playthroughs in act 1 things are very different this game is so cool. now that patches and updates are coming through im really glad ive taken my time before getting to far into the game. you're great cant wait to catch more of your personal insight on the game.
thanks for keeping this spoiler free, not all of your peers do so and it is quite annoying. I am looking forward to your full review (after I finish the game lol)
You're welcome! Yeah I think spoiler free reviews are just really helpful for people who are still on the fence but don't want to get spoiled, so I wanted to provide that 😄
as far as recruiting all the characters i might be wrong with this but ive felt its best to either run through a game with playing as that character or what i do is make a role playing character that fits the the character you want to follow. like Astorian i made a ranger to follow the rogue and she wants to be a vampire herself... i have yet to actually play as the characters themselfs but have been enjoying making characters that fit the role to follow them. my longest playthrough i actually went through pushing all the characters you meet to the side and only taking on the hirelings noone is at my camp except shadowheart which is great cause i give me more replayability.
I am into late Act 3 now, & have been having a ball. I am playing as a Wild Magic Sorcerer who seems to have a nasty tendency to turn herself and/or her companions into sheep, dogs or cats 😆. I've been romancing Shadowheart, & have been loving her story arc thus far....many tears have been shed thus far 😢
Oh noo that sounds annoying but hilarious at the same time 😂 Wild Magic is definitely fun. I played as a Draconic Sorcerer but I definitely want to do a full run with Wild Magic at some point. Ahh, I loved Shadowheart's personal quest so much. Many tears have been shed indeed 😭
@@LisaLynnsTavern I also got done with Astarion's story arc just last night.....and even more tears have now been shed......not to mention a vague sense of unease about a whole bunch of Vampire Spawn (IYKYK) 😉.
Lisa, I'm afraid I don't believe the kitten excuse, you HAVE to post pictures of them for me be forgive this delay... (I'm joking, don't feel bad for taking your time!)
I do not like the gimmicky combat, would not have a problem with it but a solid half of the CEs are like here have this puzzle thing. how many people have the killed golem without hammer medal, it is around 50%. I also especially do not like how larian can not read. case and point gnolls. gnolls have 3 attacks. Larian thinks that means duh they can attack 3 times. but no, the first one means: a bite 1-3, a punch 1-3 and a normal attack (lets say bow)1-8 in total: 3-14. but in larians eyes it is 3X 1-8. that is 3-24. you get 3 of these. on like, level 4? yeah, at level 4 a CE that can dump 9-72 dmg in 1 turn is completely fair. yeah chief at that point you are officaly allowed to hit your DM. I really hate how all companions are like lvl 15 from their backstories, and how all have deep sad in their life that is not their own fault but that they have been used and things like that. and how horny they all are, jesus christ you talk 2 lines to Gale and he is like "hey wanna fuck me?".
Well I have a very different view of the game then you but I am glad you enjoyed it. I was very disappointed by such diverse things as the the over the top back stories of companion which don't feel earned, the immaturity of the writing, how the story requires about a dozen phenomenal things to all come together making it seem farcical rather than serious, the plagiarism of the stories of other characters in forgotten realms history and lastly potentially making you a side kick in the story of an NPC. I tried to remind spoil free the whole time the game was being tested in anticipation of recapturing some of the nostalgia of my youth and instead got something that felt like what a 12 year old DM after a marvel blitz might throw together. Sorry for the sour grapes it just isn't pleasant having your expectations dashed.

I appreciate the non rushed spoiler free review. School is keeping me from finishing
I can relate
University is keeping me so busy
And this game is so enormous, sometimes i spend entire evening without venturing forth (a pun intended)
One thing i love is that BG3 is one of those experiences that gets better the more famiar you get with it instead of geyting boring once youve played it one time. And its surprisingly concise for how sprawling of a game it is
The lack of reactivity in Act 3 is apparently due to bugs, according to Larian.....& they've already fixed a number of them, it seems.
BABE WAKE UP LISA UPLOADED
good and genuine review, thanks.
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!

There are 2 great mods on the Nexus for WASD movement and the camera. They work fantastic with each other and make the game even better.

Thanks for the non spoilers. Im just waiting and waiting for the Xbox version.
Have you tried WASD and Native Camera Tweaks? Those are great mods that address things you mentioned in the video.
Ohh, no I haven't! I haven't really looked into mods yet, but thanks for mentioning those I'll definitely check them out!
amazing video! But a small question: how did you get that purple dice skin? :)
Thank you! The purple skin is from the Collector's Edition 😄

Hey no worries man. I'm sorry you feel that way and that you didn't enjoy the game, but it's totally fair.
