Baldur's Gate is so exciting! Haven't played DnD before, but I love to absorb the lore on UA-cam and wikis (you're doing an amazing job btw). The first playthrough was an awesome experience and only deepend my interest in the lore.
@@RichesandLiches I know that a thorough upload schedule is very important for content creators, but do try to keep an eye on your well being and make some time for yourself. I feel like a lot of creators burn out or worse after following a stressful and rigid schedule for a long time. That being said your style of lore videos easily makes you my favourite DnD lore channel, so I hope you keep having fun doing these! Your video idea about the Dead Three sounds great btw.
The game adds an amazing twist to the founding of Balduran. It is one of my top 2 moments playing this game, and the craziest part is that this is a completely missable secret quest
Rich you will love the game. I only wish that Larian owned D&D. It would be great if fans like them were in charge of a game they loved. And u would support them 💯
Dude, amazing video. I have been looking for in depth commentaries on DND lore and weirdly it's hard to find. Most videos I watch about the Lore are 3 minutes long and have no effort put into them. Thank you and you have earned a sub!
So nice to read your comment, thank you! I know some prefer the super quick videos and that is just not something I can get passionate about. Thanks for the watch and sub!
I'm interested in learning more about Myrkul Bey al-Kursi. You mentioned him in The Dead Three. Perhaps one day, each of the three will have their own separate video. "Uzunaru... are you trying... to learn from... the other undeads." A figure heaves in the shadows. The cloak of flesh emerges. "I'd rather... have the... information on... the second layer of the Hells." The ghost of Leahemi removes the Eldrich hood. "Anyways, this is an... interesting and informative...," She coughs, "detailed collection of knowledge... in video form."
Yet another video covering Baldur's Gate which....I love. Each of ya UA-camrs have something different you focus on, different ways you describe things. Eventually I should actually get to said city in the game, till then I can hear about it.
Baldur's Gate is one of my favorite cities in Forgotten Realms lore! I usually use it as one of the many locations for my players to be in during my D&D sessions! Keep it up! New subscriber here! ❤
I love lore. And have a good memory for it. But it is difficult when there is a different name every sentence and it is never repeated again and cannot connect any dots.
@@RichesandLiches it wasn’t your fault! Baulders Gate 3 is my first DandD game and so I know nothing of the lore. So all of these new names are totally foreign to me
Man I really hope you keep making these videos. Not only have you given me a wealth of information for both my own campaign im creating. As well as several threads to weave in along with background info for the games. Thanks for the amazing vids and all the hardworking. Also art is top notch not sure where your getting it from.
Thats awesome to hear as one of the main hopes I had for the content was to help save DMs, World Builders and Players time where possible. Thank you... and I plan to be around for a LONG time :)
I have a commercial license to generated my own art. I have started to compile the art for distribution and take custom requests through my Patreon, which you can also join for free. Thanks for watching, commenting and the kind words!
From a d&d perspective, where is the 4e guidebook reference books for players and campaigns?? This was a huge influence on many players that still use this as canon.
Nice video, i really enjoyed it. By the way, do you know the authors of the art you used in the video? Or at least, from which D&D game (or the like) is from? I really liked it, but is hard to look for it when you don't have any especific source.
You're old.... If you had a favorite "edition"..... what would it be? I would pick 2E. I'm a big fan of initiative and that type of Era. I pretty much homebrewed everything to my liking. I had several campaigns last 2 years, a few last 3, 1 lasted 5 and another lasted 6. The more I hear about 5E the more I hear it sucks. Most of the DnD channels seem really shallow and dorky in the extreme. I do like this one the most. So far....
I would say... location, location, location... and most of those that settled there at that time were also cruel and violent criminals. :) Great comment, thank you for watching!
Because they cannot teleport. It's sometimes easy to get into a bad location. Getting out is a completely diff set of circumstances. Ask anyone who was in Beirut, New York, Detroit, etc.
Sooooooon my pets. But seriously, that game is expensive, especially in Canada. I was waiting until it was out of beta, and I was able to read reviews.
I assume you are referring to BG3... I definitely want to buy it but know it will kill my already "its takes too long" production schedule. Fun fact... I am (was I guess lol) an avid gamer... yet since starting this channel I have logged exactly ZERO hours across steam, xbox, playstation, nintendo... literally. :)
Sir love your content but nit playing bg3 your are doing your self a disirvice do a lore playthrough and give us lore drops on what you see and encounter in game stream maby

Read R.A. Salvatore's books, like the Legend of Drizzt Do'Urden series. It's like Tolkien's LOTR (Lord of the rings).

Are you talking about the Wyrm’s quest?
@@Gayhan-that was crazy how big of a reveal you could just miss
Rich you will love the game. I only wish that Larian owned D&D. It would be great if fans like them were in charge of a game they loved. And u would support them 💯
Love to see something on the city of Amn. BG2 is one of my favorite games of all time.

Thank you for this proficient and insightful Baldurian presentation.
Yes to all " would you like a video of that."
I and the guyz enjoy your insight. Keep up the good work 🤜

Bey al-kursi
That's modern Arabic for "father of the chair"...
Leahemi falls, laughing... Oh, boy.
Really cool video! Ive played all the games and am currently in the end game of Decent into Averness and didnt realise half the lore in this video!
Just getting into D&D lore and let me say - you’re doing it right man. I see big things in your future !!
Thank you 🐉
Yet another video covering Baldur's Gate which....I love. Each of ya UA-camrs have something different you focus on, different ways you describe things. Eventually I should actually get to said city in the game, till then I can hear about it.
Ilmater also has a temple there. Not a very popular one, but oh well.
I like Illmater... he will be featured in another future video, count on it.
I love these long-form videos. 😁Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
it feels like gortash should have been within the upper city of BG3 with the explanation of how it is.
If you need his parents you learn his back story and it makes sense he isn’t
gortash grew up in lower city, you can go to his childhood home where his parents still reside
I continued to be impressed. Great narration, great visuals, and great topics. Keep up the great work.
LETS GOOO, I love your videos so much it explains the quite complex lore of dnd in a way that’s easy to digest, so goddamn underrated
Wow man... super kind of you to say, thank you so much!!!
Amazingly well done! Larian Studios should be paying you for this!
Much anticipated, and well done!
Baldur's Gate is one of my favorite cities in Forgotten Realms lore! I usually use it as one of the many locations for my players to be in during my D&D sessions!
Keep it up! New subscriber here! ❤
Great video! Please make a lore video about Bhal and the bhalspawn conflict. Love this style and your ability to paint the picture
Riches and Liches,
I would love to see more Baldur's Gate videos, especially on the three dead gods.
I'd LOVE to see more vids about the Lore of cities and kingdoms of Faerun.
Specifically some of the more obscure like Evereska, Menzo, and others.
Excellent content, man. Glad to subscribe.
Much appreciated!
I love lore. And have a good memory for it. But it is difficult when there is a different name every sentence and it is never repeated again and cannot connect any dots.
Not sure i followed this comment but always looking for constructive comments that can help me improve.
That said, I appreciate you watching!

Yes, more content on deities and their clerics, please.

Great content. I love these lore deep dives.
great job
Amazing video! where can I find the artwork used in the intro? it looks so good

@@RichesandLiches Oh I see, I will check the patreon, thanks for the reply 😊
Flaming Fist: "I AM the law!"
I hope you know the double entendres of that line. The classic Baldurs Gate games and Dredd of course.
Ogre-me will crush you crush you to goo!
Plss more I can listen all day
From a d&d perspective, where is the 4e guidebook reference books for players and campaigns?? This was a huge influence on many players that still use this as canon.
It makes me wonder if The Witcher's flaming rose is based off of the flaming fist
5 ⭐️ for this Channel’s name! Reminds me of politicians in general 🤭
Nice video, i really enjoyed it. By the way, do you know the authors of the art you used in the video? Or at least, from which D&D game (or the like) is from? I really liked it, but is hard to look for it when you don't have any especific source.
I create (generate) and own the commercial license for all the art. It is of course done with an LLM.
@@RichesandLiches Oh, so Is like A.I. art?
I know nothing about Balder’s gate as i predate when D&D had a set world. Tell me everything and i’’l poach bits for my worlds
You're old....

@@redfaux74 yup I’m positively ancient. 2nd was when I played regularly until about a year ago
So maybe a 30+ year gap
Right out the gate you're making a big assumption thinking that I'll be able to afford the game anytime soon lmao
Great point... I too will be waiting for that discount... which will be no time soon :)
Treat yourself brother!
Best to save up for it lol. Looking at Dos2 it took a while before it was given discounts. @@RichesandLiches
Why would anyone settle in a desolate hell ruled over by a cruel, violent, stupid giant?
I would say... location, location, location... and most of those that settled there at that time were also cruel and violent criminals. :)
Great comment, thank you for watching!

Love it and love the game keep up the good work ill dedicate the killing of the next boss to you!
Great job, I truly enjoyed your work here. I surely look forward to what you will do with Baldurs Gate 2.
Booo!!!

So you just play PC now? Me too...
Thanks
Super kind of you, thank you so much for the added support, it means more than you realize for inspiration and motivation. /bow
Dude, where do you get your images you splash as you talk? I want copies of some of these.
Definitely just AI, look at the hands, faces and wobbly geometry
When will you do the next video?
I need to buy a new laptop. Then I will DL and begin to play. BG3
Just letting you know granite is pronounced gran-it
Great video!
Sir love your content but nit playing bg3 your are doing your self a disirvice do a lore playthrough and give us lore drops on what you see and encounter in game stream maby
It's not his job to do the work for us. He's just highlighting brief glimpses into it.
Consider me regailed
No I will not be playing it at all. Don't have anything to play it on.
Your imagination is the best format.
@@redfaux74 I agree that's why I only play my table top game
@@redfaux74 I agree that's why I only play my table top game these days.
@@mikeyrambo2742 - Good for you. Those were the best games to me.
D&D
Wrong. I'm playing it right now actually
You deserve at least 1m subscribers
Thanks for the video now going to finisv every single video in the channel 🫡🫡
Thank you for such kind words... here's to hoping the YT algorithm can someday read comments :)
