  • I've previously made a Baldur's Gate for Dummies video, but it was more of a joke than anything, and I thought it was time to create a more serious and in-depth guide to getting started with Baldur's Gate and what's important to know. So, I try to go into everything that's important to know, the only thing I've left out is an in-depth look at spellcasting. I think that might be its own separate video.

    I've played this game since it came out so there wasn't anything that was new to me but kudos on a great guide to new players! Really well structured, got into enough info to get a headstart but never delved into tedium, as some guides can do!
    And it's great to see some love for the best CRPG ever :D

    Thank you so much for this video. One of the few guides I've actually learned something from, and which were straight to the point. Thank you.

    Cool video. I'm a total Baldur's' Gate noob so this helps a lot. I'm going to look for those early hidden Items as I'm just getting started out :)

    nice of you to point out that the - in armor is actually a good thing, wonder why they chose to do it that way going with big is better like most games would be easier to understand

    Had trouble getting into it a while back, have been playing BG3 now and after its done I really want to try BG1 and BG2 again. This video is a good help! Thanks for explaining the map travelling and AI scripts.

    How do I deal with the vampires in Baldurs Gate 2? I was playing the game, completing quests, and having fun. Until nightfall in Baldurs Gate, I ran into some vampires, and it seems my magic weapons do nothing. im stuck

      Off the top of my head, Melf's Minute Meteors from a mage hurts them. A Cleric's turn undead should be effective if high enough in level. I believe +2 weapons hurt most vampires, though some need +3.

    What version of the game is this? My EE looks different

    • @ShieldEntertainment

      v2.6.6.0. It might be because I have different visual options toggled off. Check if you have 'Nearest Neighbor Scaling' and/or 'Sprite Outlines' toggled on in the graphics settings, as I have those toggled off.
