To be fair.. this was my first time playing anything in the vane and I was pretty overwhelmed by the character customization. Ended up choosing Karlarch for my first play through. Second time through on Tactician on my customized bard. (Admittedly even that was basically a choice of race and then randomize until she was cute.)
As a Spider-Man fan who has 30 hrs in this game so far I never considered it a bad game to begin with. I thought from the start that its GOTY award was VERY well-deserved. The REAL reason we're salty is bc we didn't win a *single award.* *Not. Even. One.* You gotta admit, that can crush a lot of ppl's spirits xD
@@pauldelolI think Spiderman 2 just happened to release in a year where different games deserved all the awards. If it were a different year it wouldve got something
as far as we can tell, he did not even try to kill the intro boss. I was sure the game would let me do it as a tutorial of the rpg devices in this game. I got my ass handed to me. and quickly learned 2 things. "I don't know DnD as well as I thought" and "oh this game requires a LOT of strategy..."
@@sunnyblossoms4844the demon guy fighting the mind flayer is the intro boss, hes optional though since you can just run to the control thingy and leave
I've played an honestly disgusting amount of hours of this game ( **965** hours as of commenting and not slowing down, although 120 of those were in early access) and it's always so fun seeing people try it out, especially if it's not the kind of game they may have initially been interested in.
I've never played a game like this before (and probably won't again), but goddamn did some of the cutscenes (mainly revolving around a certain traumatized vampire) sell me on it
So to give some context to the intro. The squid faced guys are called Mindflayers and they use those little eye tadpoles to reproduce. They squirm into someone's brain, then transform the victim into a Mindflayer over the course of a few days. The process is both painful and horrifying. The green squished-nose lady is a Githyanki, a species that has been enslaved by the Mindflayers for hundreds of years. The Githyanki eventually rose up against the Mindflayers. The Githyanki made a pact with the red dragons and now ride them. They travel across all the realms and planes (alternate dimensions) to exterminate all Mindflayers. That's why you saw them appear through a portal to attack the Mindflayer ship. The Mindflayer ship has the ability to jump to different realms and planes and jumped from the mortal material plane, to a frozen plane, and eventually ended up somewhere in the Nine Hells. The Gith (Githyanki) are not good guys. They're hateful, xenophobic, cruel, and malicious. They view other races as inferior, to be used and killed as they see fit. Shadowheart is justified in her racism against the Gith as, historically, they are vicious and cannot be trusted.
If you haven't played turn-based games before it might take a bit to get used to. It makes combat more of a puzzle, and things like turn order, a missed strike or a critical hit can be of vital importance for a battle. It is less about timing your attacks and more about finding the right tool, or combination of tools. On the plus side, because time is stopped you get access to a lot of options on how to solve the problem, espescially once you get a few levels under your belt. The basics of combat is from DnD, called the "action economy". Each round represents 6 seconds and every character can do an Action (green), a Bonus Action (orange) and Movement. Certain spells or abilities can change this, but those are the basics. I'd recommend looking around in the menu/character sheet and see what weapons and armor you and your companions can use. You can equip every weapon, but if you are not proficient with it you will loose out on the special attacks proficiency gives you. Likewise for armor, if a spellcaster is not proficient in the armor they are wearing, they cannot cast spells. Some spells require Concentration and if you cast another spell that requires Concentration it will overwrite the first one and the effect of the first spell will be lost. As a monk, your two most important stats are Dexterity and Wisdom. It helps you be quick and agile, and to focus your Ki. If you choose to wear no armor you will get a bonus to your armor class, a specialty of monks (and barbarians). When you choose your subclass at level 3 (and if you still want to go with throwing hands) I would recommend Way of the Open Palm. :) Also, DnD borrows a lot from pretty much all RL myths, and many modern stories, as well as mixing in some original stuff, so expect to see a lot of things you are familiar with or close to something you're familiar with. Hope you will enjoy Baldur's Gate 3. Both it and Spiderman 2 are great games. :)
You leave Astarion alone! He's my boy 😂 Also damn Spider-Man 2, I can't even stand the first. I had to come back and say "Holy hell" I've never seen anyone just quickly select a character like that before 😱
dude after character creation you skipped one of the best cutscenes in gaming history Edit omg i see you restarted and got to see it lol, thank mystra! Enjoy the game!
why does it matter if it balance or explorer? let people play how they want! i dont like tuen base combat because it takes too long so i went with explorer first then switch to balance later
"It wasn't challenging whatsoever..." Says the guy who had to go look up how to solve the simplest of RPG puzzles while still in the Tutorial. xD Seriously tho, this was fun to watch and I'm really happy more people from all genres of gaming are giving it a try - and finding they enjoy it. Keep in mind there's about a dozen different ways you can do any one thing and your character building doesn't end at at customization. I hope you continue to play and enjoy.
Bruh... you are the best troll ever. I hate you, but well played. I am more annoyed by you calling yourself a Spider-man 2 fan than I was by you calling yourself an x box fan.... but again, well played.
No you dont have to play baldurs gate 1 and 2, the stories arent even rometly similiar, just because theres dragon fights dont mean they stole from the kids movie. The mindflayers has existed since 1 and 2, in fact all races has existed in the world of DnD since the start. Mindflayers are an inspiration from H.P, just like world of warcraft took, alan wake 2 and even fallout has in them.
A touch of background for this game (a month late ik) it's based on dungeons and dragons, thus uses its lore. The gith are assholes by nature, (might makes right mindset) I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far.
nice to see a spiderman fan at least trying the game let alone enjoying it. rather than just hating on it ( much like the fortnite fanboys hating when FFXIV won best ongoing at game awards) credit to you
As a Spider-Man 2 fan, they took this from... the game world was made in the 1970s man, what are you talking about? Ok... I'll give you that they took inspiration from HP Lovecraft.

Maybe it's editing but he skipped all of the character creation. He can always fix it after he finds withers but damn bro take a second to figure out what class you like at least it's the most important thing about your character lmfaoooo.
If you want a short video to experience the absolute chaotic vibe of all you can do to play in BG3, watch “4 Halfling Barbarians” by Okoii. It’s hilarious! Do a reaction video if you want, I need to see what you think of that madness lmao
ok, I was feeling good about all of this until you skipped the charakter creation. Even if you ignore all the looks you gotta check your class my guy^^ You a barbarian by default wich isn't bad for a first touchpoint with D&D coz it can be made to be very simple and effective, but still you should ask yourself if you wanna do some magic maybe. Anyways back to watching the video I just had to yell out in frustration for a sec, my bad. -Edit ok, nevermind honest mistake all good. Also calling Avernus O-Block is funny as fuck.
Not even close your comparing a game about a moody teen that shoots webs to a dungeon and dragon rpg they aren't the same at all and that's a good thing
As an RPG player for 40 years I spend more than 20 min. rolling up a character, but that's my choice to do so because I want to think everything through look at everything and see how I want to build my character and what I want my character look like. But but that is just me and my preferences and I don't mind spending at least an hour rolling up a character and customizing him.
Whats the point of playing if yo gonna play Balanced difficulty. Its effectively babymode. Like you dont have to use even half of the mechanics for this mode

Same! When he skipped the first time it HURT on a spiritual level!
I think it’s funny that every single Spider-Man fan that has played the game immediately changed their minds about it 😂
Only the ones that gave it a chance. There are also a lot of them who immediately dismiss the game the instant they saw that dice.
And made a short weirdo for a character.

Abandon all other games
BG3 requires your full attention
Bro I was hating on bg3 for winning goty cuz I thought sm2 deserved it… I was wrong bg3 is truly a masterpiece 😢
I laughed my ass off when you said "that nose has a 48" verticle.
Baldurs gate 3 is the best game I’ve played. The music is also probably the best I’ve heard out of any game.
“This man won voice actor of the year off of being sexy” umm. No. Just wait for Cazador’s crypt. THAT’S why he won.
