When commiting crimes like stealing, npcs can hear you steal stuff next to them (hiding makes your actions quieter), but they do also sometimes check locations of expensive items
HELL yes dude this is going to be a good series. Especially the way you do these kinds of series. This game has so many choices that change things and so many ways to obtain power I can see you enjoying multiple playthroughs. I really hope you enjoy the game. Int wisdom and charisma matters more than you'd think... BUT... There are items that can set your stats to specific moderately high numbers to counteract that if you ever need. Spells that require concentration stop if you cast another that requires concentration. But you can have 3 party members concentrating different buffs on one person. There's others that either last like 10 turns or the entire day no strings attached. You can re-train astarion to be a different class eventually. The story will still refer to him as a rogue though. Thinking of making him an oathbreaker paladin in my evil playthrough. Great stealing trick. Have one character talk to someone, so they face away from what you want to steal, switch to them (bottom left corner button) and go ham. Playing music also attracts crowds away from their normal spots and holds them. EDIT: Okay you found the diadem lol I forgot you can get it so early. You definitely have access to an insane arcane trickster build with insane stats since you built the way you did. I dont know the rules for what works with sneak attack for them but shocking grasp gives advantage against targets with metal armor. Seems fun.
After watching the video, this is quite an interesting playthrough style compared to other UA-camrs. You do a great job of cutting out the boring bits without losing the story
BG3 is such a perfect game for this edited narrative format (as a typical let’s play is a bit too long and repetitive for this game) and the branching paths and options means everyone has a different approach to encounters. Plus this game is all I’m really interested in at the moment, it’s such an amazing and vast game, with hype and multiplayer bringing more and more players in each week. Keen to see ep. 2!
Btw when ever you level up. There is a button top right corner to do MULTICLASS. So you can be 2 classes same time. Rogue / hunter, or Rogue / fighter, but you have to choose, do you level rogue spec or hunter for example. plus those soul coins are for COMPANION, Female barbarian, those coins Buff her dmg if you give em to her.
Wow, i've been watching alot of BG3 and your videos are once again a pleasant surprise. I absolutely love the fact that you have no idea what's going on, that's a big change from your usual videos. I like it because it gives me a perspective on what it looks like for people that don't know the dungeons and dragons mechanics.
strength is useless on rogues by the way, literally the only thing is does is carry weight, which is nothing with the camp chest, and jump distance which can be boosted in a million easy ways, soul coins are for a companion, and versatile weapons can be used one hand or two handed ie the longsword
obviously there is weird multiclass stuff (not to mention thief's bonus action thing is just broken it should not let you do anything with it, in 5e the additional bonus action can be used for like 3 things), but just strength on a pure rogue does nothing@@kriskitt
Excited for this series since I don't have the time to watch a full playthrough of the game or play it myself and you always explain everything so well!
Quick tip, if sam is in cover/out of sight when its his turn, try to use the cunning action (bonus action) hide in order to get a sneak attack off as much as you can to optimize damage Edit: also surprise is a bit finicky sometimes, as attacking from stealth will suprise enemies if it initiates combat, but sometimes the attack from stealth doesn't break stealth but the enemies flock towards the area the attack came from, not being surprised if they spot you after the initial attack and start combat.
quick tip if u want to pickpocket or steal something u can hide and then enter turn based mode with that character so the cone of vision of the enemies doesnt move and u can steal care free
quick tip. Holding T and hover over highlighted text will give you more explanation. For example, the "one person can only buff another person" reasoning you had, will be explained if you look into the "Concentration" property listed in the spell description.
You aresuch an underrated youtuber always fun to come back to your videos when you havent posted in a while hopefully you are doing good love the commentary and generally vibe of your videos
At the Phase Spider Matriarch fight you discovered the most OP damage source: fall damage. If you see someone on a ledge, you can always action shove them, they will take damage and be prone (takes half of their movement to stand up and you get advantage on attacks against them).
Amazing video and love that you are doing a series on this. In terms of what happened in the crypt, I recommend having everyone in your party grouped together during combat, unless you want to separate one character to do a side secret mission (like you did with the spider eggs). Weird things can happen when only some characters are in combat that can cause you to miss out on dealing damage.
The demons at the start are there because the ship teleported to literal hell to escape. Also str and dex are usually kind of an either/or stat, pumping both is a bit of a waste.
This was fun to watch. Reminds me of when I first started watching your content. Definitely enjoy this type of video over that shitty moba or whatever. Looking forward to ep 2. 😊
If one of your characters enters combat, the game enables turn based mode. Other characters that were not yet detected however still get to move and act freely, but when they enter combat by either attacking or by getting spotted, their initiative is rolled, and the thing they did is considered part of their turn, just executed in advance. You can abuse this to try and nuke down a tough enemy before they get to act. - Also good to know if you got two or more characters with consecutive turns you can cycle back and forth between them and basically have them act at the same time, you don't need to go 1-2-3 but can go 2-3-1 if you wanna, or any other order. - But only if they got consecutive turns with no enemies in-between.
Thief is pretty good with melee, there’s a specific build where it’s better for ranged but only with dual hand crossbows. Assassin is pretty good if you go stealth focus on your build since you’re able to reliably hit surprise if you’re sneaky enough. The advantage on attacks from assassin on turn one can be better than the stealth advantage because some classes or equipment get multiple attacks and stealth only benefits the first one, whereas the assassin benefits all of them and will activate even if you get ambushed and aren’t hidden at the start.
The evil and good spell is a concentration spell. Concentration basically whoever casts the spell is concentrating on keeping the buff up. The concentration can be broken by anything like traps combat etc.. That blindness fog the skeleton casted is also an example. If he slipped on the grease while concentrating he wouldve had a chance to lose concentration, and lost the spell
been a big fan for years but haven't commented until now. i would, however, recommend that you watch a few of the 1-3 minute "handbooker helper" clips. this game is based on d&d 5e, and so knowing just the basics of the ruleset might really help.
That alien is a Mind flayer, aberrations that come from the underdark, a gigantic system of caves and tunnels under Faerûn (DnD setting), so not really an alien. Disadvantage means that you roll 2 times and take the worst result, advantage works the same but taking the highest roll. Fog of cloud creates a cloud that blocks vision inside (heavily obscured). The hit-off is an attack of opportunity, a reaction that allows you to attack an enemy that leaves your reach (5' in this case). Surprise, as you already said, let's you have an extra round before the battle begins. Threatened probably means that enemies have disadvantage on ranged attacks because your characters are close to them. 21:50 The effect of the gloves give the enemy a -4 on attack rolls (the roll made when you attack) and on saving throws (rolls for traps, spells and such) but no to damage. Rogues are only trained on light armor (proficiency) and if you wear a medium or heavy armor you get disadvantage on ability checks (the roll for the skills like stealth, survival and such), saving throws, attack rolls with STR or DEX, and you can’t cast Spells. Getting a spell slot it means that you get another spell, spell lots are what you consume to cast the spells you know. 46:00 those spells don't slace with INT, their damage is the dice on the image (2d8 in case of ray of sickness), the only way to do more damage with a spell is to use a superior level spell lot, wich scalates the damage. On the other hand, INT makes it easier for you to hit, since the roll for your spells includes the bonus on your INT. All this is purely based on my DnD 5e knowledge, wich the system used in the game, hope nothing is wrong and it helps you, also, really enjoyed the video, waiting for part 2!!
Hate to be a actually but actually mind flayers are Aliens. They hiding in the underdark from the gith (both of them) but they not from the under dark they either from another realm, planet or time line or all 3. Mind flayers are all so the one thing Aboleths kind of fear since Aboleths predate every thing and have genentic memory so can remember basically every thing but they have no knowledge of mind flayers. One day they just arived.
Tip - you can throw healing potions on the floor to heal all your party at once. But, it must hit the floor and not be throw at someone or else it can hurt them/counts as an attack.
I’m not sure if you do use it later, but some caster classes have csntrips (“weaker” spells that don’t use a resource) so in some situations you could use firebolt which shadowheart has to start fires/explosions with grease, another use is explosive barrels. (Best part is again your not having to waste a resource on a more powerful spell to do that)
Okay Christian, look.. I have been hanging for another video. I have been checking every 3 hours. I get you're busy but you literally paved the way for Dyrus' success and if you do that I know you can get another video uploaded. Let's fucking get it
The thing I hate about BG3 is that I have like ten individual characters in Act 1 because I keep finding cool magic items and wanting to build a character around them. Examples: - I made a Drow Rogue to take advantage of a Longsword you find in the Underdark that, unlike any standard Longsword in thevgame, can use your Dexterity for attacks and damage. - My Berserker Barbarian with every Thrown/Improvised Weapon buff I can find, who can one-shot three Goblins in a single turn by throwing... literally anything at them. - My Necromancy Wizard who also specializes in Poison and Acid spells with a few items that boost their abilities.
Here a tip: Spell that have concentration on it, means that the character cannot cast another spell with concentration on it. That's why the scroll of protection from evil and good canceled out.
if you were to teleport into earth orbit, even as far as half way to the moon, you wouldnt orbit, you would just fall, orbiting is about velocity and angle relative to the body you are orbiting, ISS orbits at 7.8 km per sec, so at that hight you would need not only teleport there, you would have to give yourself the acceleration as well, anyway, i am just bitching on why the ship did fell kk
If trmplays has a million fans, I am one of them. If trmplays has 5 fans, I am one of them. If trmplays has one fan, That one is me. If trmplays has no fans, I am no longer alive. If the world is against trmplays, I am against the world. Till my last breath, I'll love trmplays.
Just so advice if okay Always sell with your highest charisma character and always sell to one vendor per charpter as when you do they will have a 30 percent bonus
You should experiment with a tradition of saying one one sentence with enthusiasm per episode I would feel graced and special. I say this tho as a thorough enjoyer of the monotone.
"The main character is going to be Sam because he was actually the main character of the Lord of the Rings and objectively better than Frodo by every conceivable metric." Fixed that for you.

I dont know the rules for what works with sneak attack for them but shocking grasp gives advantage against targets with metal armor. Seems fun.
concentration spells can also be broken by a select few spells, or if you get hit. if you get hit you roll to see if you keep concentration or lose it
After watching the video, this is quite an interesting playthrough style compared to other UA-camrs. You do a great job of cutting out the boring bits without losing the story
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS man your channel is the BEST for anything that combines "open world" and "RPG"
TRM playing a Larian game. Never thought id see the day but im glad im here.
BG3 is such a perfect game for this edited narrative format (as a typical let’s play is a bit too long and repetitive for this game) and the branching paths and options means everyone has a different approach to encounters. Plus this game is all I’m really interested in at the moment, it’s such an amazing and vast game, with hype and multiplayer bringing more and more players in each week.
Keen to see ep. 2!
Btw when ever you level up. There is a button top right corner to do MULTICLASS. So you can be 2 classes same time. Rogue / hunter, or Rogue / fighter, but you have to choose, do you level rogue spec or hunter for example. plus those soul coins are for COMPANION, Female barbarian, those coins Buff her dmg if you give em to her.
Only watched 8 minutes of video so far, but already liking your perspective on the game. Amazing work!

I like it because it gives me a perspective on what it looks like for people that don't know the dungeons and dragons mechanics.
I wasn't sure who you'd follow up the masterpiece punch club series, but this is solid.
strength is useless on rogues by the way, literally the only thing is does is carry weight, which is nothing with the camp chest, and jump distance which can be boosted in a million easy ways, soul coins are for a companion, and versatile weapons can be used one hand or two handed ie the longsword

im so glad you picked this game up, i love this game.
As a slight dork. It’s crazy hearing rain man who hs obviously never played dnd. Explain dnd things fairly well as he’s learning it himself. Good job.
quick tip if u want to pickpocket or steal something u can hide and then enter turn based mode with that character so the cone of vision of the enemies doesnt move and u can steal care free
Then you can only steal one. Just have someone talk to him and you can rob his entire inventory.
quick tip. Holding T and hover over highlighted text will give you more explanation.
For example, the "one person can only buff another person" reasoning you had, will be explained if you look into the "Concentration" property listed in the spell description.
Soul Coins are a special resource for one of your companions.
Worth holding onto
Your pacing and editing is super high quality. I love videos like this, I don’t even play BG3
it is really cool how different your play thru is compared to mine.
Keep the good content coming up trmski even the solid views numbers came back
Lae’Zel isn’t an orc, she’s Gith. She’s from the same dimension as the aliens.
Bro watching you play this game hurts so bad lol
I have got to agree. Geez. Talk about green.
Your editing really makes these long form style videos watchable. I’ll keep watching a series on this fs.
You aresuch an underrated youtuber always fun to come back to your videos when you havent posted in a while hopefully you are doing good love the commentary and generally vibe of your videos
Glad you're trying this game
If you get yourself a bard, you can make him play, it will attract nearby people to the show and you can commit al sorts of crime.
At the Phase Spider Matriarch fight you discovered the most OP damage source: fall damage. If you see someone on a ledge, you can always action shove them, they will take damage and be prone (takes half of their movement to stand up and you get advantage on attacks against them).
I thoroughly enjoyed this video as I usually do with your others. Hurry and drop the next one plzzz!
Amazing video and love that you are doing a series on this.

I'm a huge fan of larian studios games and I've been grinding the fuck outta Bg3 super excited to watch you play we have super diff playstyles
Thanks for the quality entertainment trm ❤
trm its been 9 days im literally shivering waiting for episode 2. I hope its a 2 hours special or something like your rimworld rimwar movie
Yeeeeep, 46 minutes of video but we all know it took 6 hours and 14 reloads. Keep it up and the game has a lot more to offer!
5:50 the button disarms the 6 traps in that room you set off
I’d watch you play any game 100% my favorite UA-camr
This was fun to watch. Reminds me of when I first started watching your content. Definitely enjoy this type of video over that shitty moba or whatever.
Looking forward to ep 2. 😊
Soul coins are used by a companion named Karlach to give her fire damage while raging
I had a feeling you would like this game when I saw it banger vid

Yay i am excited for another installment of Raymond.
Thabk you Raymond
A fellow Halfling Rogue player. Hell yeah.
been a big fan for years but haven't commented until now. i would, however, recommend that you watch a few of the 1-3 minute "handbooker helper" clips. this game is based on d&d 5e, and so knowing just the basics of the ruleset might really help.
Im literally shivering waiting for episode 2
Really wish it had a gamemode that's just pure combat so I can test out builds before figuring out who to play in the campaign
You can steal gold back from withers and retrain yourself for free.
At level 10 I have a hireling that I use just to re-spec and try builds out with.
great episode keep up to great work cant wait for episode 2
you should consider going into turn based mode when you steal and pickpocket so random npc dosent wander into you while it's your turn.
That alien is a Mind flayer, aberrations that come from the underdark, a gigantic system of caves and tunnels under Faerûn (DnD setting), so not really an alien.

We all know Sam is way more badass then Frodo anyway so you made the right choice.
Tip - you can throw healing potions on the floor to heal all your party at once. But, it must hit the floor and not be throw at someone or else it can hurt them/counts as an attack.
Absolutely do an episode two. You've gotta
The speedy lightfeet boots are soo good i use em still
what i want you to do is finish this series like punch club 2 , keep up the good work :D
This was so good I watched it twice Raymond
I’m not sure if you do use it later, but some caster classes have csntrips (“weaker” spells that don’t use a resource) so in some situations you could use firebolt which shadowheart has to start fires/explosions with grease, another use is explosive barrels.
(Best part is again your not having to waste a resource on a more powerful spell to do that)
steal everything we cannot be stopped all the gold in this game shall be ours
All the loot goes to one guy? Sounds like feudalism-on-the-move. 🗿
I believe that if you are the first to attack but no one know where you are they I'll be surprised so you should get a free round
Okay Christian, look.. I have been hanging for another video. I have been checking every 3 hours.
I get you're busy but you literally paved the way for Dyrus' success and if you do that I know you can get another video uploaded. Let's fucking get it
The thing I hate about BG3 is that I have like ten individual characters in Act 1 because I keep finding cool magic items and wanting to build a character around them. Examples:

- My Necromancy Wizard who also specializes in Poison and Acid spells with a few items that boost their abilities.
Love this playthrough!
Lol I bought the game after your video trm!
Characters can maintain concentration on only one spell. Concentration can be broken when you take damage if you fail a saving throw.
you wanna turn off karmic dice for more accurate TRM run
his main is white with curly blond hair...its been so long, but i remember someone with similar features.
Versatile weapons can be used both two-handed and one handed by the way.
Thanks for this man
Here a tip: Spell that have concentration on it, means that the character cannot cast another spell with concentration on it. That's why the scroll of protection from evil and good canceled out.
you have to get the flame sword its a right of passage
Almost 1 hour episode, damn nice
Part 2 needed
Please if you actually do a comple serie on this game I will personally donate 200 dollars (maybe im lying but its for a good cause)
if you were to teleport into earth orbit, even as far as half way to the moon, you wouldnt orbit, you would just fall, orbiting is about velocity and angle relative to the body you are orbiting, ISS orbits at 7.8 km per sec, so at that hight you would need not only teleport there, you would have to give yourself the acceleration as well, anyway, i am just bitching on why the ship did fell kk
Whens kenshi making a comeback champ
i was trying to figure out which game i had you subbed from before bg3 so i searched your video history... mount and blade: bannerlord.
Longsword is Versatile, that means it can do one hand or two hand
Ah yes the "Good guys" show up.
Here is a cool tip/trick: You can THROW a healing potion on your allies/companions, that will also heal them.
If trmplays has a million fans, I am one of them. If trmplays has 5 fans, I am one of them. If trmplays has one fan, That one is me. If trmplays has no fans, I am no longer alive. If the world is against trmplays, I am against the world. Till my last breath, I'll love trmplays.
can you do more of ömly leveling up agility"pleassss
MORE MORE MORE BG3 CONTENT PLEASE.
Third time's the charm Raymond
amazing content
I was hoping you would get around to playing this.
Can’t wait for episode 2
vision of the absolute 39 dmg, and the other items, If something got mentioned in the video it's worth to follow up those paths.... :D
Just so advice if okay Always sell with your highest charisma character and always sell to one vendor per charpter as when you do they will have a 30 percent bonus
Also you can load all items you want to sell in a crate and sell crate to sell all items
35:02 so, where did the worm go ?! can anyone tell us ?
You should experiment with a tradition of saying one one sentence with enthusiasm per episode I would feel graced and special. I say this tho as a thorough enjoyer of the monotone.
1:12 good guys hahahaha
In the future, use turn based mode when doing your dirt lol
HE DID IT HE DID IT HE DID IT
Finally a real game
Damn this is great
"The main character is going to be Sam because he was actually the main character of the Lord of the Rings and objectively better than Frodo by every conceivable metric."
Fixed that for you.
Whole series please
Will be watching
