    I made my wife play Baldur's Gate 3. She didn’t have any of it spoiled for her before I sat her down, stuck a controller in her hands and asked her to give it a go. It went surprisingly.

      Most games don't put much though into NPC reactions like that, they all aggro as and when something triggers one NPC - like the infamous villager attacks and bounty for hitting a chicken in Skyrim.

    What an absolute treat. I was worried because a lot of the combat and stats/character building is so crunchy, but I was happy to hear she had some DnD background so it wasn't quite as overwhelming. More than anything, though, I'm delighted to see her embrace thinking creatively and trying things out.
    Speak to Animals to ally yourself with the spiders and use an invisible mage hand to release the lever to unlock the gate? Amazing. Casting Silence to prevent Gut from calling for backup so you can beat her senseless? Grand. Turning into a cat and meowing to lure Minthara over a bridge, then cutting the bridge out from under her? Legitimately brilliant.
    I'm also so happy to hear her mentally work through her opinions of characters. Loved her distrust of Raphael. I'm an "examine goblin", so when I saw that Auntie Ethel's infocard listed her as a Fey, I was all kinds of wary around her.
    This is just such a fun and creative game and I'm beaming to see how much the Noobus embraced and enjoyed it. Great video, and good Lord I can only imagine how long it took to edit. We appreciate how much time you put into this, cuz this might be my favorite video you two have put out.
    Speaking of you two, absolutely huge congratulations. I smiled like a little idiot when you called her your wife. Real cute to watch and hear the transition from girlfriend to fiancee to wife. So happy for you two!

      ya, the DnD background had to have helped, at least with understanding the spells cause that can be one of the hardest things to manage. I can do it with 1 character in DnD but with 4 even I forget stuff all the time and that's not counting all the camp character with buffs and stuff you can do with hirelings (tip, always make a halfling transmuter hireling at camp and let them make all your potions, you can pretty much get 2 potions every time, and also make a transmuter stone to give away.)

    as someone who has played an honestly unhealthy amount of hours in BG3 (it shot to my most played game on steam with 1000+ hours since release, and ~200 in early access, more than the next 2 most played **COMBINED** {Skyrim and CSGO/CS2 if anyone cares}, oh my god I need to touch grass) it's always nice to see someone's first experience with it.

      @violetpatina708 3 місяці тому +4

      Well... even less than that. There's 3 whole maps of Act 1 (main, underdark, creche/mountain pass) and the goblin camp isn't even close to the whole of that 1st map. Act 1 took me a bit over 70hrs to finish and the goblins were maybe only 10-15 of those hours. No mention of Voss, the Hag, Z hideout, or Withers, much less all the secrets in the goblin village/camp. She still got pretty far though. I'd guess she played maybe 15-20 hours of content, with 3-5 more of reloads from failures. Pretty good for never having touched the game and how frustrating it is to learn it.

    You can get the circlet off of Nettie's body. (The gnome that is knocked out in the nearby cave also has the same circlet. Save him from the goblins, loot his body before he awakes, and boom - you have the circlet. It helps you get to the grove from the back door in Nettie's back room.)

    ive been looking forward to this one for a while now, and it didnt disappoint. Im glad she really got into it and was enjoying the roleplay aspect that makes this game stand head and shoulders above many in its genre. this is one of those games where i know she was having fun while playing, and you were having fun watching her play it. The beauty of this game is you could rerecord this on any given day and get a completly different path and outcome. i also have to say i loved the music choices throughout the video. As a lover of JRPG's hearing many a familiar battle themes or background songs play really made me happy. as well as the non Video Game OST choices throughout that really added to the fast forwarded combat sections. if there is ever a day where you and the noobus revist past played games, i believe this would be at the top of my request list, right above hades. i also hope this game breaks the streak of her not playing in her down time as i know personally its a game i love playing with my partner. excellent work as always Mr. and Mrs. Zander. Cant wait for the next one. #LongLiveSnowBlack
