I just can't believe the game *lives up* to this opening cinematic.
Genuinely first time I’ve seen it happen
Ok, that Spelljammer ship has me sold.
The Gith / Illithid feud is just a bonus.
the living mindflayer ships look super creepy i love it
@@Aleph-Noll Mindlfayers are know for there use of Bio tech, some even having Laser Pistols and Shock batons that are creatures the Mindlfayers Grew
Classic spelljammer ship. The squidship. Mindflayers are the aliens of the D&d multiverse. Reall cool cinematography.
For thousands of years they've been fighting across the planes, and it's still raging on!
I get a massive Watcher's Keep BONER.
Kind of the exact opposite for me. Then again, I despise Spelljammer. To each their own, I suppose. At any rate, it has nothing to do with the town of Baldur's Gate or the Bhaalspawn, so I don't see why it had to be titled Baldur's Gate 3, at least in my opinion.
Had they created a new D&D franchise? I might have respected it. Not my cuppa, but there's plenty who would be interested in it, and I wish them well. But this isn't a Baldur's Gate game, except inasmuch as it is a D&D based game that spends at least a minimal amount of time in Faerun, wherein Baldur's Gate exists. And they shouldn't have tried milking the old franchise, in my opinion.
That mindflayer was obviously Swen flying Larian Studios ship, abducting d&d nerds to play this epic game
Can't believe this epic cinematic was 3 years ago. Who's hyped for the release tomorrow?!
I went in almost completely blind, avoiding any videos about it the whole time. I even had to wait extra long for the Xbox release. I'm glad I didn't let anything get spoiled, everything was new when I started.
Twas indeed hype
One of the few games I was hyped for that ended up being absolutely stunning :')
This game will forever be cherished in my heart. Gale my beloved 💙
I went into this game completely blind and I wish I had recorded my reaction to this. Absolutely an amazing introduction to an even more amazing game. Completely blew me away
This gives a whole new meaning to "go for the eyes"
Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes!
Hehe
Was going to make this joke XD
LoL
My dragon shall be named...Boo !
If there are dragons I am sold. Dungeons are just a bonus.
Fuck that. I'm only interested in the "&"
You want homeless dragons? They need somewhere to live!
I see what you did there :p
@@NRV0 no, wait, the "D" doesn't fit...
Really interesting to see your depiction of Illithid technology, it was real fancy.
I think this is a spelljammer.... :O
@@MittenMarauder Well, I'll be damned... this game might just be bigger than we were expecting in the first place... :O
@Invictus_trax I tried it. It's great!
@Invictus_trax DOS2...played through it three times. I can't wait for this game.
Pretty sure Wizards produced all the ideas and Larian just brought them to life.
If they will succeed, then the new golden age of rpg will come.
We are all sending good thoughts your way, Larian Studios!
It is almost like there is a market for indepth RPGs and it just takes a team willing to put in the effort.
Who would have thunk it :P
*when they succeed
@@PotatoliciousArt Unfortunately it's still if. There's an alarming number of people already hating on the game because it's turn based, and even more still who are pissed that it's just a reskinned Divinity OS2 (which honestly I'd say is a plus but the purists are butthurt). I expect a lot of old school fans are going to review bomb this into the ground. All we can do is hope WotC ignores the less... constructive... criticisms.
@Haitian Xu Get the fuck over yourself. God forbid the series based on a turn-based pen and paper system actually get with the fucking times. Actually, you know what? Go ahead and pout and sulk and shill days gone. It'll be funnier to watch you cry in a corner while the rest of us enjoy new content.
@Haitian Xu Minimal effort? AAAA PC franchise? You do realize it's being developed by Larian Studios, right?
Lesson: Mind Flayers are not to be effed with....unless you have DRAGONS. Excellent.
or some Gith
or you are a female,cuz you know the power of whamyn is immune to mind control 4:50.
@@Leonidasthegreat1994 I may not remember everything correctely, it's been a while since i saw ilithids, but aren't the ilithids worms "just" supposed to lodge inside the skull of the infected and eat his brain away to grow and transform the host into an ilithid? I don't think there's any mind control involved and the host still has free will (until he die and the ilithid is born obviously).
@@Skylair95 You are correct. Unless you have a 9th level Wish spell in your hand, that woman is fucked... in the non-plaisant way...
@@Leonidasthegreat1994 Check D&D lore before assuming that...
Everyone remember to cast Chaotic Command to protect yourselves from mind affecting abilities. And summon undead creatures to fight for you since they're immune to intelligence drain and mind spells.
Too bad the round already started (since this is apparently Turn Based) and all your characters are dancing in place like idiots, minds ready to be devoured. smh.
@@TedBrogan Imagine a D&D game with D&D rules. It's mindbreaking I know.
Don't remind me of the stat drain of the Ilithid. Minsc died really quickly the first time i met them in the Underdark.
@@TedBrogan If you've played baldur's Gate, you know how important party formation is. You should also know how important scouting is.
If you properly utilize both these tactics, turn based shouldn't disadvantage you. You're probably just used to poor strategies. Like running in half cocked like an idiot and falling back on enemy AI exploitations like kiting while you cast whatever protection spells you should have cast before hand.
Undead actually were not immune to Int drain in BG, for whatever reason.
That's some epic stuff. Can't wait to be level 1 and fight rats. Dragons and Illithids are just a bit much.
Appearantly it's intellect devourers at level 1.
@@rednidedni3875 that's so frightening. I like the characters and the turn based mechanics.
@@rokkkrinn2793 I think they did tone it down, by having the devourers be injured or unwilling to use their key ability
If you saw the gameplay apparently at level 1 you fight intellect devourers. It was a tpk.
Yeah, this hasn't aged well. Have fought 0 rats in all my Early Access plays. F'in Larian
I'm more excited for this than the new Diablo
Diablo 4 will be a flop
right now Larian is faaaar better than activision-blizzard
Might have something to do with blizzard and diablo being hot garbage
The mobile game?
Larian isnt lead by an absurd and pathetically greedy leader, so there is that.
Take my money!
Kings and Generals???? What?????? lol
Oh milord!!!
Yes, PLEASE!!!!
one of the greatest cinematics for any game EVER. well done, this was fucking awesome
Idk. I still gotta give it to Final Fantasy XIV's intro cinematic. That fight with the music in the background and the woman singing was just so amazing to watch.
@@solid5502 Square has some pretty great cinematics
Seeing Giths again after so many years reminded me of someone. Time to get to *know* the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon once again.
There can not be two skies!
updated my journal
I *know* that reference
In knowing the teachings of Zerthimon I have become stronger
So... What can change the nature of a man?
"You must gather your party before venturing forth.."
To people coming back for this cinematic masterpiece that is this opening. Hope you are doing well and still loving this game
That´s great, the lore of mind flayers is incredible.
3:03 no film/cinematic is safe from the mighty Wilhelm scream
Nice catch
OMFG I AM SO HYPED! Also the music ROCKS!
Also, they showed a DUNGEON first and then DRAGONS! HAH!
Oh yeah you're right lol that's cool
The Mindflayer tadpole entering over the eye : ehhhh ! sick
When dragons are allies, they are awesome !
Oh, you guys. This was fantastic! The gameplay reveal was amazing! Game director who presented it, even though the technical problems (and the dying at the start was hilarious!) He made the show so charming as always! Definetly going to buy this
Loved it! First part really scared, second part really pumped.... End of the video and I only had one question: and now what? Sign that you are doing an excellent job!!!!!
I was waiting 20 years!
In Azkaban!
@@JoanVetulani lmao nice one
@relizalion Syrssimo Found the nostalgic one!!!
@Djasko M real time with pause sucks ass though compared turn based. Pillars of eternity is a good example of that
The Ililad spelljammer won me over SO MUCH.
Illithid, not illiad, you fanboy moron.
@@drewf2et54yu47mij67 Not that the Iliad wouldn't make for a good source to base a D&D campaign off of...
As a huge DOS 2 fan (one of my top 5 games of all time) and a gargantuan D&D 5e fan (Player and DM), your presentation at PAX had my jaw-dropping. I know this is pre-alpha but I nearly cried. This is what I wanted and Larian delivered. The finished product is going to be insane. You can see the love and hard work that went into this. Well done, Larian, and everyone involved. I know it's going to be quite a while before this releases on PS4 (I know it hasn't been announced but I have faith), but for this kind of quality I am willing to wait. Much love, Swen and everyone at Larian. May the dice (digital and otherwise) always roll in your favour.
Me:
- How much I would never expect a game from my childhood to be continued and how much happy can I be seeing it?
Larian:
- YES
He did it! He said the meme! Everybody upvote!
The game is nothng like baldur's gate, its Divinity Original sin 2 reskinned
@@Valdorian2198 I suppose people who liked BG1 and 2 and didn't want it to have the name but nothing else what made it Baldur's Gate (except fucking Grease. Seriously? Of all the things you take it's that?) in a sequel.
@@Dzylynyky It was always going to look similar as it's built in the same engine by the same team, turn based was always going to be a thing too as rtwp is outdated. This is exactly how it should be done, and they're gonna smash it
@@Dzylynyky Oh please, besides what you saw was an alpha presentation... They used resources from dos2 as placeholders dum dum! Ffs people use your head. They did the same thing during the dos2 alpha, used resources from the first game. The graphics and artstyle of the first dos is considerably more cartoney compared to the second. Besides the artstyle of dos2 is not original in anyway, its generic western style rpg as it should be for a DnD game. It looks great, and assets will improve and change before realese.
WOw. This several minutes into is better than most movies I ever saw in my life at all. Then you think Larian can't do anything better because it's already amazing, they do!!!
JoCat:
"Githyanki and Githzerai,
Elves that look like they wanna die.
All they're about is how they clash,
been around 40 years and their lore is still trash!"
Larian Studios:
"Hold all our D20s."
JoCat: *crushed under a three-meter mountain of d20s...*
Me: CLERIC!
@@TheProfessor529 Gonna need a resurrection scroll for that one!
Larian threw it in our faces from the beginning that the Emperor is the mind flayer who infected our Tav's. Wild
Once of my very favourites cinematics of all time! What a way to introduce Mindflayers to the world!
You guys are in the making of the ultimate greatness. Hope for the best.
At first I was like: hm interesting, that looks nice, cool, but when dragons came I was like: Lets gooo, mess him upp!!!
*_You know, this reminds me of that time... way back..._*
40 hrs in arrived at baldurs gate. Was it worth the 3 year wait. Yes. Probably my fav realm in a dnd cinematic rpg masterpiece definitely best game of the year most likely the decade. Possibly all time. 10/10
happy 1 anniversary Baldur’s gate 3 and my first d&d game I ever played🧝🏽♀️
That freaking dragon roar at the end is such an epic way to end this thing.
it felt badass for me
So ready for this game..........been way to long. Good memories can't wait to make some more!!!!! Very nice Larian.
Words cannot express the hype I have for this. You guys are just the best at making CRPGs, and you'll do this series justice.
Gith: WE COMIN FOR YA, MR. SQUIDWARD!
The imagination has no limit, all the support for this great project, people ... You are the best❤️
Well tentacled monsters and dragons and old timey cities... that's not exactly a sign of limitless imagination. It is the same old same old.
@@_TheDudeAbides_ Please stop being stupid and remove yourself from the room. You're unwanted here. By your thinking here, literally ANYTHING is same old same old.
@@_TheDudeAbides_you're being very un-dudelike right now, dude
Just saw the gameplay reveal on PAX - SUPER HYPED! Absolutely amazing!
The Squids got away!
Guess i'll just have to buy the game and catch ehm! ;:D
and cook em
Can't wait to be able to watch the Pax East Presentation again (Just watched it on Twitch)
I’ve never seen dragons look so good until watching this. The only thing I would change is making their scales a bit more of a noticeable red color but that said, the muted colors don’t look that bad either.
I've been alive 20 years, and apparently have been waitinf fir this game that long by the looks of it
Holy shit this looks amazing
So amped for this. DOS 2 is one of my top games and I got decently far in the job application process with Larian, gonne keep trying. Can't wait to play this.
This is how you do aberrations. This is how you do Illithid. Absolutely fucking phenomenal.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING! If they get multiclassing rules in too this will be 10/10 the best game in years. Was a HUGE fan of all the original games on pc. YOU’RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB!
Whoever made this cinematic should make one 2hrs long and sell tickets to go see it.
I like the brutality of the conflict on both sides; seeing the callous, utilitarian enslavement perpetrated by the Mind Flayer harmonize with the callous, utilitarian revenge of the Githyanki (the dragon-riders clearly don't care about saving the hostages on the nautiloid) gives personality to the factions, and flavors of potential resolution.
Kudos to you Sven and the team! Looks like a great story, bought chills down my spine. Ah to imagine being a dragon rider...
I'd rather be the dragon. ;-D
Oh my...I dont have words.... that was wondrous
Fantastic, flawless, best trailer all year
What a great Cinematic. You guys are doing it right.
Watching the stream now love it
I saw the gameplay world premiere... You really bring the genre to a new level! I'm in love. 🥰
The female prisoner and the group attacking look like Githyanki, which also makes sense with lore. EPIC
Yep, I originally thought she was an exotic orc, but no...
Githyanki confirmed playable race in the gameplay demo.
Maybe.....even hot gith chicks?
Of course they are Gith. No one else gets to ride red dragons.
@@andreasbuehler1821: I saw the gith, and I saw the red dragons, but somehow it took me this long to put two and two together and make that connection to their lore... :)
GOTY 2023 so DESERVED! 200 + hours of pure joy, thank you Larian
"GOOO FOR THE EYES !!!" (Squeak!!..)
He literally went for the eye... the tadpole xD
You guys are the only ones who have advanced the genre of party RPGs in the past 10 years, rather than just trying to copy the old formulas. You are best. Good luck.
I've never been so confident about the potential quality of a sequel.
I know Larians has this one in the bag and it's gets clearer with every update.
I really expected pretty much from Larian. But this blew my mind.
The quality of this trailer made me think for a second, when can I watch this movie?
My poor family, they will be so lonely.
wonder how often squid man accidentally hits the celling while floating with that giant mantle
Exceptionally well put together on every level. Congratulations to everyone involved in this.
Oh my - that was freakin awesome!!! Love it and can not wait! I don’t know how you plan on resurrecting Minsc, but please make it happen as we have some serious buttkicking to do “for goodness” 😜
Dont forget his sidekick squirrel!
Well, in the D&D Descent into Avernus adventure there was a specific mention of Minsc being de-petrified offscreen...
@@alidedereal I'll have you know it is no squirel, But a Giant Miniature Space Hamster.!!
Silverthorn Goodtree - yessss - Boo was (is?) his name
@@rednidedni3875 yeah has been back for a few years in comics and books
I was never a fan of Turn based CRPGS, & I didn’t know much about D&D either, but I could tell right off, the moment i saw the cinematic, that this was gunna be something, So I learned the game mechanics, from the host of youtubers & didn’t give up, because theirs just so much to this game, it can be overwhelming, its deep combat systems &D&D rules, & my God if this game didn’t blow me away, at a time when I honestly thought all “authentic game developers,” were either bought & ruined or extinct, this game defies logic, I mean theirs no pointless missions & fetch quests, the usual filler garbage we have known to just drudge through, Every second of this game has been fun, to the point that I started to even wonder ok, did the perfect storm just hit or was their something otherworldly going on here, dare I say magic, because I am a pretty experienced gamer, I own about a bit over a thousand games & never have I been this engrossed in a game before, you can tell LarianStudio was making a game for the players, by the players here & the level of authenticity in the world, its characters, to the sound, music, it just flowed perfectly down the river, the game is obviously special, it is, I am grateful I learned the game so as I wouldn’t get cheated out of this experience, because that’s precisely what this is, I do understand how game developers are shaking in their boots & it’s impossible to recreate & bottle a formula like this, I dream of this being the new standard, but somehow I doubt most game developers have the skill, patience, the big one which is will, or the time & money to follow the brave steps that LarianStudio has taken, they should be getting praised,not jealousy, we all should try to do better, be better, in everything we do in life & somehow this game seems to wake us up out of our slumber & enjoy life & have fun, because special moments, games, they usually come by once in a lifetime, & every second should be enjoyed, so congratulations on the accolades, its well deserved & this game just shows you what can be accomplished, if your passionate & love what your doing in life, it trickles down into all aspects of other peoples lives & you might not have even intended it to.
Wait we doing both Forgotten Realms and Spelljammers now? Neat.
imagination seeing the first 2 minutes of this in VR.
Words can not describe how hyped I am right now
Three years later, and it was worth the wait!
EPIC!
The epicness of Epic!
That cinematic is a critical hit!
'I've seen enough anime to know where this is going'
Hype 💪🎉
Absolutely chilling. I had pretty good expectations.. but this blew them completely out of the water.
This is going to be an incredible playing experience.
This cinematic is simply magical! I am so excited about the game that I saw that message: " ...is already subscribed to list Larian Studios - Gazette."
Other than Doom, I have never seen more badassery in gaming till now. :D
That was impressive. The forgotten realms setting and its lore are well depicted and made look epic.
Its nice to see so many people acknowledging these things in the comments. To me, it means that the D&D universe is well understood by its fans and that Larian Studios can take it even further. I am so curious to the world map, and how much we will be able to explore. Bring on the DLC's with their great stories and locations! Can't wait.
I probably understand some of the Lore better than how to play d&d because I've never got a chance to play the real game Even though I have some of the books and video games
Before to release it, let me first finish BG2 (for my 100th time) !
Larian Studios = Masters of CRPG.
Rooting for the mindflayer here even though "your" character is on that ship.
Same! lol
I fell in love with those bastards ever since this beautiful story in critical role.
When a game turns out to be even better than the cinematics and trailers.
Can't wait to play this! The cinematic is amazing!
I had high expectations before watching the gameplay reveal and HOLY SHIT, you guys completely exceeded my expectations. Can't wait for early access.
roundbase combat
This cutscene is so amazing, I temporarily forgot I was playing a game instead of watching a movie
who else accidently skipped this upon playing the game
Thank you Larian
My red dragon mount is as clean as an elven arse" - Githyanki dragon rider.
DUDE I haven't done a turn based Vampire playthrough since my MUD days, Larian---You Rock~!
This looks super cool! *ALL THE HYPE!*
Man D&D is the fucking coolest shit. I didn't want this video to end. I hope this signals a return to Spell Jammer for 5e.
Okay, time to stock up on ALL THE BRINE POTIONS.
And this kids is how baby Ilithid are made. (also githyanki dragonriders was something I didn't expect to see, but I am even more hyped)
That is so amazing!!!
I don’t want more, I NEED MORE…. BEST GAME EVER!?
i hate all the ignorant 90's people that think bg3 is bad just because its turn based. "turn based? sorry but im not buying, this isnt a real dnd game" Bro dnd is a turn based strategy game, get over it its 2020
Baldur's Gate is a city in Faerun.
This is part of the D&D world.
Githyanki are in it, Tieflings, Drow etc.
This is a D&D game.
Hell, in the opening cimimatic, an Illithid is wrecking shit.
Lol
Is there really 90s kids hating on baldur's gate ? Lol they played the hell out of the firsts pokemon and now they critic this licence smh (i'm a 90s kid btw but i know we have to pay respect to those classics)
@@TheObbs dont get me wrong i loved baldurs gate but hating on bg3 just because its not "real timed" which wasnt all that good in the first place really annoys me
