I was just dying and couldn’t get through anything for ages so the story didn’t progress. These guides are great, nothing is given away, it just helped me figure the game out a bit. If it gets too easy I’ll just increase the difficulty on the 2nd run thru :)
For me I tried it and just desisted from it twice but this time around I’m using guides and progressing faster although I did use the berserk guts mods so my MC has been the most op character in every fight so far 😂
Really good advice. Nowadays there’s just guides to everything and I think we as gamers are missing the whole point. It is supposed to be a challenge; it’s supposed to make you think. 🙌
Tip #1 for me to help break out of analysis paralysis. Go in with the intent that the game is going to tell you whatever story it wants. And be okay with it. Instead of trying to force the game to tell the story you want. This helped me finally finish the game. Also, play blind and the games replay value skyrockets
@@CrouchingscarabflyingJ thanks I'll keep that in mind, haven't played the game in a long time, dropped it coz I kinda wasn't enjoying but I was also trying to force the best possible outcomes and shit.
I bought baldurs gate when it came out but i have been putting off playing it because i felt overwhelmed. This video really helps, i plan on jumping in tonight. Thanks dude!
gotta change the difficulty to explorer... and trust me, i usually hate easy modes, I'm a hardcore souls gamer lol but this just feels like a college course and I don't have time for all that d&d knowledge, i just wanna beat some goblins up and get babes.
Multiclassing wizard can work in an interesting (if rather niche) way: make them stupid. A low Int wizard can invest in spells that don't rely on saves or spell attack rolls and put their stats somewhere more appropriate to their other class. This method works even better if you grab a headband of intellect.
I'd say one key thing with class is by the time you're in late act 2 you'll want reliable AOE attacks for the large scale battles, not a major problem but you will be reliant on your wizard or warrlock companion so if you don't want to play a squishy mage, druid or clerics are good newbie options, I'd suggest Tempest Cleric as a reliable AOE attack with the SC and HP to survive a big bad attack
If you've never played something like this game it will be overwhelming. I realized this after my fiance tried to play with me. I'm going to go over everything with her over the weekend.
You speak really good english for an Australian! Nah jks im Aussie too. Great and detailed explanation! Im still confused but i think i need to just start playing
Aren't the social skills most important for whoever you play, seeing as only the main character can deal with some of the dialogue choices in the game?
Other characters can talk instead of you in many cases, but on main quest/companion interactions "other stats" can help too. Wisdom based character can rely on illithid powers. I am playing on STR based ranger with 14 INT (this is objectively dumb but I can afford it for myself), and in dialogues I CAN often rely on strength checks or my skills in nature, magic, history and medicine.
Who talks is dependant on who you have selected when you initiate dialogue. Frankly a shit system for this type of game and others have done it better.
Question=i think im going to play as a wizard and i like to lead the group...do i have to get a high charisma for interaction with the npcs or does the game pick up the highest charisma score from my party ?
The answer to both questions is no. It doesn't pull your highest charisma but that is ok. You don't have to have high charisma to talk to NPCs. It can actually be fun to fail the charisma checks and see what happens.
The above commenter is correct, but if you want a magic user but also want to be the party "face" I'd recommend using Sorcerer instead of wizard, as sorcerer uses CHA as their primary stat
I know its a long shot, what givves you thse detailed information on rolls and attacks? Are you using a mod or settings? Can you please answer I am searching without success.
32 hrs in I completely skipped the goblin camp and went to the underdark went through the underdark and am in act 2 now lol I feel like I skipped a huge part of act 1
Never have played a D&D game and it's pretty overwhelming considering I've never played a top down dice type game. And I'm not really a fan of these types of games. I normally only like real time combat and not the stationary board game type games. I like gameplay like last epoch and diablo 4 style combat. I feel like if we got a game like bg3 but with combat like last epoch instead of the board game format I think it would be so much better. I tried getting into bg3 but I'm still not fully pulled in I have 50hrs in now and I just think it's not for me.
50 hours is a very fair shake. Sometimes you need to put in that kinda time to really see if things work out. I’m only about 10 hours in, and I’m on the precipice between wanting to learn more and being overwhelmed.
The mythical Halfling Barbarian - as a Throwzerker... Could work around the movement speed thing. Also, it's fun to be the tiny motherfucker that everyone underestimates; just to literally cut them all off at the knee-caps and say "How do you like all them short jokes now, asshole?" : ) Gnomish Assassin? For the RP of being the kind of jovial friendly guy that no one will ever suspect can just straight up shake your hand, offer you a smile and stab you right in the back all at once. Walking away whistling like he's done not a thing wrong. Ranger - Go Go Power, wait, I'm a ranger? Aww damn it... so much for the "power" in that fantasy. I'm not even sure a Drizzt build would save it lol. But I really, really want that panther statue... Dragonborn Monk; for the Dragon-Style Kung Fu is strong with this one. * It's not a spoiler to mention that First; you have to FIND the respec guy... and second - and this is the more important one - You have to FIGHT to get to him. So it's not as simple as you can just respec at any point. That's misleading. The guy is a PITA to get to if you're low level, and new players aren't going to know where to go and who they can fight to gain more levels quickly.
I discovered something new thats most likely a bug. All of a sudden as if a few days ago, my character creator uses the default name of Gale now instead of Tav. I have no clue how it happened lol
Being the first game of its type I’ve ever played, it is really overwhelming to learn. I’ll search stuff here and there but the best thing I did was stop trying to min max the game like I usually do.
Yes, i like finish the game original in my first playthrough except my character tho, i mean i want experience the original characters for first time, i respec them on my second playthrough
The whole video is bullshit about multiclassijg most people just wanna play one class that’s it I play gloom stalker ranger with titan bow shit hot I cruise through game
I know the game is huge but not nearly a big as this hour long tips guide. Condense and simplify the descriptions and definitions, If it's still very long then release multiple videos specified to each subject. You will get alot more views on 5 20 minutes videos then one long video. If they enjoyed the first lesson they will come back for more. But they will never know if they would enjoy it if they don't feel like investing an hour into a creator new to them.
Not gonna lie the current price on a early accses game and combined with seeing a guide this long I don't think I would want to even try this game. Which could be a very good and fun game as well as am amazing learning experience from what could be a great teacher.
The onboarding is so fucking shit in this game that words can't describe it. You are literally expected to have decades worth of dnd or crpg stuff understood to actually be at least competent in this game. It's a shitfest and severely overhyped.
It's literally just like any other game where you have attributes and pick skills and abilities. You don't need to know anything about D&D or CRPGs lol. Smoothbrain moment.
As someone who had none of that experience nor anything like this game before and crushed it, I think it's better to hear from a stranger; you're probably just dumb.

Most important tip: play the game for first time on yourself blindly and exprience it yourself; use these guides on your second playthrough…
I was just dying and couldn’t get through anything for ages so the story didn’t progress. These guides are great, nothing is given away, it just helped me figure the game out a bit. If it gets too easy I’ll just increase the difficulty on the 2nd run thru :)
I disagree I’m genuinely having a hard time getting into the game. I’ve never played any dnd or a game like this before so this guide is very needed
For me I tried it and just desisted from it twice but this time around I’m using guides and progressing faster although I did use the berserk guts mods so my MC has been the most op character in every fight so far 😂
That's not a fxcking tip That's just a fxcking opinion.

Me too man
@@lorelikesthings i just picked it up and came here to get some understanding
Same, this guide is huge
It’s a great game though! I’m really enjoying it even with how overwhelming it is!
Just picked it up myself. My two tips, Have no shame set it to easiest difficulty. F5 for quicksave F8 quick load 😅
I bought baldurs gate when it came out but i have been putting off playing it because i felt overwhelmed. This video really helps, i plan on jumping in tonight. Thanks dude!
bro stick with it on balanced or something for ur first playthrough, it rlly is a masterpiece
There is no shame in playing on story mode.
An extensive guide let's go, I just started playing yesterday thanks for the video man
what class you pick? and which sub down the road?
I chose Lore Bard and plan to go into warlock, knowing me I'll be trying a few classes out what did you go with?@@seb2750
Thank you SO MUCH - about to dive in and feeling super intimidated 😫but I definitely feel far more prepared after watching this!! 🙏🏼
They key is to just enjoy =]
Have fun!!
This is BY FAR the best described and explained guide, thank you so much for taking the time for us
gotta change the difficulty to explorer... and trust me, i usually hate easy modes, I'm a hardcore souls gamer lol but this just feels like a college course and I don't have time for all that d&d knowledge, i just wanna beat some goblins up and get babes.
The challenge is a big part of the fun tbh, you don’t play this kind of game for the story
Thats exactly what im playing this game for@@sargonsblackgrandfather2072
@@sargonsblackgrandfather2072that’s just simply not true. Plenty of people play this game for the story.
Double commenting,
This is Amazing!

This video has been a game changer !! Literally! Thank uu
Do you have a more in depth build for the cleric/druid multiclass or know what I might follow more precisely?
If you've never played something like this game it will be overwhelming. I realized this after my fiance tried to play with me. I'm going to go over everything with her over the weekend.
That command tip is awesome, gonna be doing that every chance i get
this game is extremely overwhelming, but i am having fun wandering the same 3 locations aimlessly like a complete numpty
You speak really good english for an Australian! Nah jks im Aussie too. Great and detailed explanation! Im still confused but i think i need to just start playing
I love my fighter archer with disarm

If you’re on controller, hold RT for radial menu and it’s going to be on bottom right under combat log
On PC its the combat log on the lower right
This game looks overwhelming. But wow the graphics
I randomly moved a box in this gave and found a lever behind it. I love this game
I suggest playing an origin char. More content to see
4 druids, 4 bears running around, i might have to try it
Time is something you only get once in life. Choose to spend that time wisely.
My favorite game in a long long time
In my Barbarians portrait his face is cut off at the nose, wearing the poison armor. It's a bug but I don't know who to report that to.
Have you tried telling the people who made the game?
32 hrs in I completely skipped the goblin camp and went to the underdark went through the underdark and am in act 2 now lol I feel like I skipped a huge part of act 1
You def did but perfect for another playthrough

Yes
Yes, make sure my stats are positive numbers, thanks.

Love the guides but I wish you'd slow down the speed of your explanations I have to re run a lot...maybe my age😢
You can change the play speed
I don't have a clue what he just said game is to big for me.
0.75x speed, then, then i understand something 😅
Good
Nope disagree he nailed it

Jesus, this game feels like a full time job to understand. lol.
I just want to shoot things with magic 😢
Yep I played the demo and it's a bit too much to learn for me 😢
what happens if two of your characters die? i have only 1 left and maybe played game 10%
You should follow the guide to get withers and pay to revive them. You can also recruit a lot more companions, you can look up guides for the that.
You can revive them later or hire more, also when they die in combat use your revive scroll after combat to revive them
I actually gave up on this game in act 3. Wasnt doing it for me, got boring. Ill restart it and see what happens.
I imaging. It isn’t for small minds
Really surprised I can't be goblin. But it makes since for the setting. Maybe there are no nice goblins around there
There are no nice goblins.
You can with a mod
Is this the first woke gaming guide in History? OF COURSE I want to be the evil class! :)
I think won't be on switch. If Will downgrade bit.
