Wow this short really popped off! Couple updates: 1. I have in fact finished Baldur's Gate 1 EE recently (Illusionist/Fighter), however my attempts to try to play it over the years was similar to the short lol. 2. I plan on continuing through BG2 EE when I get the time. 3. The Dan voice sounds shockingly similar to mine. Thanks everyone! Have a good one.
This was me with Fallout 1&2 my love for 3,NV,4 made me want to play them but boy those games did not age well or I’m just too young and I never had pc in my life so I can’t be nostalgic about old pc rpgs
Currently do that after 2 fights on bg3 lol... Maybe if I was still unemployed I wouldnt feel the hours disappearing with little to no progress happening.
The very first time I played I didn't know you could reroll, so I accepted the first set of rolls that came up - and still managed to finish the game with a very sub optimal character.
You need to go back time to 1998. Then, understand why it was so great. For Baldur's Gate, forged a lot of the games you love today due to its greatness and still continues to this day since 1998.
I played it for the first time in 2012 and I love it it’s actually so ahead of its time especially compared to fallout where the journal is a literal piece of paper you write in that game 😭
YES. YESSSSS.YESSSSSSSS!!!! HOURS UPON HOURS on that stat roller, vision blurring, just seeking the godly stats of a hero ... And then playing the actual game the next day because you're exhausted
I still remember the first time I played this game in ‘01 and it blew me away. Till then I’d only really had eye of the beholder and ultima underworld as far as RPG’s went and when I discovered this I skipped school for a week
I started it, because of the BG3 release and I love it (watching some gameplays), but I have a potato pc, I can't play it currently, so I decided to play the bgee then. :') I bought the game when I was 10 years old, now I plan to finish this game 10 years later. xD
@Awoken, not woke 🏳️🌈⃠ To me that’s part of the fun, it genuinely is rng and you’re whole playthrough is affected because of it. I went full chaotic evil after playing on the hardest difficulty, definitely made the game more fun.
Y’all do realize the full roster ain’t on the cover right? That’s what they did for the first game. They only showed a select few characters on the cover art.
it is definitely not the game if you want instant gratification, kinda like table top dnd, you are supposed to spend an hour or two on character creation alone
I really struggled to play the game outside of Storymode...I just can't do it, I don't like the combat mechanics and I think it's just unfair in places.
bruh CTRL+8, I roll 100 times and I just hit the Ctrl+8 and roll down to a reasonable number usually something under the highest natural roll I've ever seen which is a 96
I feel this. I’ve tried playing it a few times. I like everything about it but a 20 year old game with no nostalgia is just a 20 year old game with a good story. But it takes so long to get from one side of the first town to the other. The way I feel about boulders gate three being a beauty to look at and explore is probably how people felt about this game back in the day.
As someone who has played all three at the time of their release, I can confirm this. As amazing as BG3 is, it exists in a time where big open world games and engrossing rpgs are a dime a dozen (it's the best of them, but many other titles exist as well). When the first BG came out, there were a handful of games kind of like it, but nothing even approaching it's ability to get you wrapped up in it's world. It was phenomenal for it's time, and the music sticks in my head to this day.
I mean it keeps balance in the game with the pace of storytelling, so you're encouraged to think of other choices past steam rolling. No DM enjoys a min maxer
@@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257 First of, wtf? You realize BG3 as a whole is almost completely random? Every encounter is resolved by random dice rolls. Sure, you decide how you tackle it, but the result of success and failure is random. BG1+2 let you roll stats and even the indie-game Solasta managed to implement it and was balanced pretty well. Every game that let's you roll dice or draw shuffled cards is practically a form of "gamble" if you call it that way. Did you even think before writing?
Ya could just accept your roll and play the game, but no, people complain about their own need to make the game easier for themselves when they could just… Get good.
@@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257 I hate it when the game tries to force upon me garbage stats. The weakest roll is only 75. Unplayable and not fun. You will have a character worse than any of your companions and certainly worse than any named enemy. You spend several hundred hours per character in BG1 and 2. Why waste it on a character not worth playing, that cannot achieve much of anything or use decent gear with ability score requirements? D&D with second edition rules already is extremely punitive by default and a lot boils down to dice rolls. It is not a skill only game. A character with garbage stats is dead on arrival in a game with random rolls for every single encounter. Your character also is a demigod, not the weakest runt in a litter of goblins. Bad stats wouldn't even make sense from a role playing perspective. You are not an illiterate peasant who narrowly escaped the destruction of their village. You are the child of a god (Bhaal, CE with the portfolio of murder ) and one of his priestesses.
For DLC, I would just like extra storylines. We don’t need anything soon, as the world is so big and you can make multiple characters and have completely different playthroughs. Im nearing the end of act 1 in my solo play through so now my friend and I are getting ready to do a multiplayer on in which we play a couple nights a week. We’re gonna take it slow it and plan out how we want to play.

The heartbreaking moments when you roll a 95 and then accidentally click reroll...
*Lego Yoda death sound*
I rolled over a 99 once, went straight to eekeeper
Bruh.
Yea that roller is so addictive even knowing youre gonna keeper it anyway
Mood
I rolled a 97 then rerolled by mistake, did reroll for an hour but couldn't get it so I took 75 and did eekeeper for a
18 in all stats😂.
Missed the part where you alt-tab out and 2 hours researching the best builds before create your character.
exactly... some copy paste build instead of just experiencing the game..
"I should have joined the army" some random flaming fist
And the yawn
Lol. "Screw this I'm going to play something else".
Currently do that after 2 fights on bg3 lol... Maybe if I was still unemployed I wouldnt feel the hours disappearing with little to no progress happening.
@@Toshiro4619sounds like a skill issue
That was unexpected, I was expecting him to get killed in the first fight.
The very first time I played I didn't know you could reroll, so I accepted the first set of rolls that came up - and still managed to finish the game with a very sub optimal character.
I can't stress how much I don't relate to this video. Starting from candle keep is the greatest.
How much you want to min-max in the video game?
This guy: Yes.
You need to go back time to 1998. Then, understand why it was so great.

Yeah, no.
@@GilgaMax305no?

Ultima.
@@colinnixon7739
Yep.
I did this exact thing with Neverwinter Nights so many years ago. Never passed character creation.
Get me out of this hell hole
Finally rolling high but getting 18/21 strength 😭
18/08... And I did not want to roll for for another 90+, I'm on mobile and starting with a full party this go.
YES. YESSSSS.YESSSSSSSS!!!!
HOURS UPON HOURS on that stat roller, vision blurring, just seeking the godly stats of a hero ... And then playing the actual game the next day because you're exhausted
i get 87 and think, well okay i don't want greedy and proceed
I clicked past 101 and instantly thought about taking my own life.
I still remember the first time I played this game in ‘01 and it blew me away. Till then I’d only really had eye of the beholder and ultima underworld as far as RPG’s went and when I discovered this I skipped school for a week
I didn’t realize how lucky I was in my first 2 characters until I started to make more and couldn’t even get a 90 lol first character ever rolled a 96
I never played 1, i started at 2 and now continued with 3
its definitely the best of the 3
Go for eyes boo. Go for the eyes!! Fuck I miss this game lol
Camaraderie, adventure and steel on steel. The stuff of legends! Right Boo?
@Will Flann you can get it on your phone now...
Not sure why anyone would want it on such a small screen, but it works!
@@B.V.Luminous it's fine on bigger smartphones
@@hubert9841 I'm running a Thief Mage Solo on insane with a straight talk android right now, too bad I can't add the SCS mod because I have no PC.
Poor Minsc. Epic personality. Terrible party member. A ranger with a two handed sword and no wisdom. Just take a fighter with the mastery in a weapon.
Seems about right
Got the enhanced edition, can’t figure out how to make my party all move together
Select all button
This was the first rpg I played on a computer, so I took the first roll and went with it as if my DM was watching. It’s a hard game 😂
"I am da law !"
I got a 95 for my Cavalier but STR rolled 18/01 just to tease me. Oh and I rolled past a 98...
Even the first notes are legendary
Accurately accurate.
Ive tried to start this game so many times, i just need to force myself
I started it, because of the BG3 release and I love it (watching some gameplays), but I have a potato pc, I can't play it currently, so I decided to play the bgee then. :')
I bought the game when I was 10 years old, now I plan to finish this game 10 years later. xD
I’ve never made it anywhere in this game. Wish I’d had it as a kid I’m sure I’d love it but have never been able to get into it.
@@SexyFace wait, BG is not turn based...
@Awoken, not woke 🏳️🌈⃠
To me that’s part of the fun, it genuinely is rng and you’re whole playthrough is affected because of it. I went full chaotic evil after playing on the hardest difficulty, definitely made the game more fun.
I just remember getting murked and quitting 😂
@@Youaretrapped that's because nothing is handed to you, you have to earn it.
I rolled 18.00 a few times. I remember almost falling asleep hitting the space bar
And this is why i just use mod character to easy set character without wasting time 😂
Supertrue
Y’all do realize the full roster ain’t on the cover right? That’s what they did for the first game. They only showed a select few characters on the cover art.
Just rolled a 98 !
Happy if over 80 dude!
🤣🤣🤣I relate, I did this exact same thing 2 time before finally getting into it thank to the mobile version
Wait... if you can choose that? Wouldn't you want max?
The highest roll ive ever gotten is a 97. I know you can go higher than that o believe the max is either 108 or 118
...You aren't using the autoroller?
it is definitely not the game if you want instant gratification, kinda like table top dnd, you are supposed to spend an hour or two on character creation alone
18/21 not good you need 90+ lets go again
I justo double tap three times
Best Game Ever
Hahahahaha this shouldn't take too long!!!
Yup. That's what i did. Hated every damn second of it.
I really struggled to play the game outside of Storymode...I just can't do it, I don't like the combat mechanics and I think it's just unfair in places.
lol
I feel the same lol
Why u need 95?
I remember clicking nonstop for perfect roll on maple story 🫠
Awww-right... Lol
Couldn’t care less about graphics I beat the game I wana try 2 as well
I roll 104 At first
Feeeels 😂
I tried to play it but hate that combat is real time and not turn based
Really, there’s a setting to pause the game every round.
@dauchande Yeah but the game world still then operates in real time after you unpause. I only like truly turn based RPGs
There is an option to pause after every round
This is me lol
😂😂😂😂
You canget more than 90!?
Theoretically you can get 108.
Zoomers can't play BG1 and 2 just like millennials can't play ultima 1
Cant play either, am zoomer?
What's ultima 1? I am new to this.
@@Fugazidawg vidya for gen x

🤣🤣🤣🤣 accurate!
bruh CTRL+8, I roll 100 times and I just hit the Ctrl+8 and roll down to a reasonable number usually something under the highest natural roll I've ever seen which is a 96
Cnt get passed the older graphics? Sad man lol. Such a great game.
Yea his a miserable piece of watermelon

I'm so disappointed BG3 uses point buy instead... Only to "balance" it for multiplayer
I mean it keeps balance in the game with the pace of storytelling, so you're encouraged to think of other choices past steam rolling. No DM enjoys a min maxer
If you want a completely random experience with shit like that, just play real dnd. Why would you want that in a game? May as well gamble.

@@MikaeruDaiTenshi What I’m saying is, BG3 is LESS random. It makes you feel like you have more impact, and typically, you do.
So true 😂
Lol
Getting 88+ typically takes up to 2 hours, rolling slowly to not miss anything. The game has a sloow, tutorial-like beginning but gets better fast.
Ya could just accept your roll and play the game, but no, people complain about their own need to make the game easier for themselves when they could just… Get good.

what's the purpose of that reroll like what..
You do hsve NI or eekeeper
How many rolls do you get to roll a character? As in real DnD you only get so many chances
seems infinite
It is infinite for Baldur's Gate I and II.
(Edited because I misread the comment)
@@lucklesscomet4987Then people complain about it when they could just accept their fucking roll.
sad.. This game is legendary.
For DLC, I would just like extra storylines. We don’t need anything soon, as the world is so big and you can make multiple characters and have completely different playthroughs.

This game is a bit old, you are aware that there won't be any DLC for it anymore right?
This is BG1, not 3
he tried too hard making it that's why it's so good I dunno
Just go to BG3 😂😂
It's one of the best games ever made...assuming you don't have the attention span of a 3 yr old child.
ita good because he over did the game lol
Ahahah true story
Troppe aspettative. L attesa del godimento è essa stessa il godimento... ecc ecc
