- If you aren’t familiar with the eponymous location or the series as a whole, #BaldursGate3 doesn’t sound like that exciting a game. Lacking context, as a title it’s pretty meh. Given that the game has been in early access for literal years now, you’ve probably heard bits and pieces about it and maybe you’ve let those pass you by. Not any more. This is your wake-up call: if you’re a fan of high fantasy, D&D, role-playing, incredible storytelling, turn-based combat, huge consequences for your choices and a lot of potential sexy times - never mind the title, this game is for you. Here’s why you’re going to want to play Baldur’s Gate III, even if, right now, you have no idea what or where Baldur’s Gate is #bg3 #dnd #eurogamer #dungeonsanddragons

This will be my first D&D experience ever. Always wanted to play with friends but work full time and can't reasonably get a game together. Big video game fan and am excited to simply play Baldurs Gate 3! Looks fantastic
It's d and d the videogame basically.
Do yourself a favour and find a way to make time.
My wife, my friends and I all have full time jobs but we've been playing every other Friday or Saturday night for the last 3 years and it is spectacular to do. The outlet, the comraderie, the sheer fun of it all. Its worth losing few hours sleep at least once a month!
Same here, after 30 its impossible to find a DnD group so Crpgs are our best option. BG3 will probably be the best Trpg to date. Multiplayer should give you almost real DnD experience, without the GM
As a d&d 5e player in the past (played for 3 years) and big fan of witcher 3(similar in scope/depth). This game looks amazing.
You need to find time to get a group going for D&D. I was the same way, always wanted to play but never had the time. The five of us in my group all have kids, less one person. We find time to play once or twice a month.
The stuff that happens while playing are memories that'll last me the rest of my life. One example: Our DM uses these critical fail cards, so you roll a 1 you pull a card. We were fighting a Red Mage boss in a dungeon and our warrior rolled a crit fail. The card told them that their minds swapped bodies, so the boss now was put into his warrior and vice versa. We were level 2 at the time and gained a character with 60 HP when we all had around 20. So for the first few months of the campaign, this dude is just an absolute tank rolling around in the bosses body.
With that change, he brought many other difficulties while playing. Like concealing the fact that he was a red mage but a "good guy". It was glorious and stuff like that makes DND amazing. Find time, bro.
Its like DnD 5e but more affordable and without the tedious task of scheduling a session or having to constantly check the rulebooks
Good to know they made it with new players in mind. The game looks incredible and fun but is also intimidating if one needs to learn more about the background story and characters. Thank you.
Even jumping into it blind, it's pretty easy to get really immersed into the world since there's so much content and player exploration
@@bebemax95 Thank you. Looking forward to it.
Too bad they didnt make it with Xbox players in mind.
@@werdle92 They did... Xbox is coming later this year
@@werdle92Playstation user base isn’t split between two devices and is a lot bigger. Microsoft brought this upon themselves, can’t blame the developers for that.
When other game developers complain about how fantastic this game is and how its unfair for everybody to expect this standard of game moving forward, it then certainly becomes a must buy. Larian made genre defining games with divinity original sin and divinity original sin 2 so to expect them not to hit home run with this just seems silly, im in.
Other developers arent doing that, that is what some idiot gamers whose reading comprehension skills are no where near their social media THINK those devs were saying. The whole outrage thing makes it thoroughly embarrassing to be a gamer.
@@byghostlight1 I seen the vid myself, I've not read a thing or anyone elses opinion. I think you are mistaken dude.
But it’s fair for those devs to be upset since most are working at small studios that have like 40 devs vs larian studios which have over 400 devs
@@chrismcnuggett larian has been a small studio until it took up bg3. Also, no sane person is saying this is the new standard for small devs. Larian had to become big to tackle bg3. But bg3 absolutely is a game changer for Bethesda, bioware, the like.
bought this recently because they bumped the release date up. Incredibly excited, I've never played D&D but I'm already loving it.
I'm sold now. I didn't need another game to add to my playlist for this year. This year is insane for amazing video games.
Looks like GOTY
I think it’ll deserve it.
But traditionally… “swing swing kill” games are very likely to get it because it appeals to the… ‘ahem’ simpler crowd.
you would think, but that award never goes to games like this, too complex. itll probably go to either FF16 Zelda or Starfield, really whatever company bribes the VGA people more
This is not beating Zelda. CRPGs are way too niche. Definitely might win best rpg.
How is it goty, you have to play in turbs 😂😂
@@TheAbstracteDyou clearly haven’t played early access for the past 3 years. Or payed attention to the game much in general 😂😂😂
BG3 has been rumbling away in the background on steam for 3, maybe 4 years, at this point and I couldn't be more excited to finally be able to get out of chapter 1! Also, this game has by far the most incredible, most vivid, vicious and volatile depiction of the Underdark to date. Cannot tell you how many times I've been steamrolled by a meandering bullete out for his noonsie stroll or a pesky hook horror taking too much interest in my life or death battle with some minotaurs. But it's not just evil down there, it's bloody beautiful too. As a renegade drow main, there is nothing more important than the Underdark to me, it is home.
Somebody is getting their Drizzt on.
I've never played dnd and have no idea what the 'Underdark' is, but you make me excited to explore it!
@Saffron831 well then, I have one peace of advice for your first delve. Don't be scared. It can and will hurt, but save often and treat it like a soulsbourne game and you'll be grand. Also, the robots like poetry.
This looks like a pure celebration of dungeon crawling rpgs. Makes me so happy.
I was a DM at 8. Yes, Eight. I'm now 50. So... bringing new players in to the "following".... no problem. I actually prefer that they make it more accessible to all - the more players the better. This is not (or should not) be an elitist club. Get new players in, make the basics as simple as possible, the more advanced players will make their own rules... but start basic. That is where the fun is.
count me surprised to hear aoife's voice at the start of this video, and not zoe's - but then zoe's probably been playing it in preparation. i've recently been playing about in early access as race and class combos i hadn't bothered with before and having a blast - oathbreaker paladins are a LOT more fun than i was expecting
I would add: to anyone interested in this game, give the original games a go! they're obviously very different (and more than a little dated) but i played BG1 and 2 for the first time this year and really liked them, and it'll give you an opportunity to learn about DnD's Forgotten Realms setting
I am someone who has never played D&D, but regularly listens to one of my favorite podcasts (shout out to The Roaring Trainers) which is a ttrpg podcast, but it's Pokémon.
I don't have anyone to play with, as none of my friends are into ttrpgs. This game seems to be exactly what I've been looking for, a single player way to have a D&D type experience.
I am very excited for this now.
The game that has instilled fear in the hearts of AAA devs and Activision Blizzard
This obliterates Diablo 4 easily lol
@@ryanwood6006as an action rpg BG3 sucks.
@@Animehermit but it isnt an action RPG. Its a traditional RPG. Its a create your own adventure game to the highest degree
@@ryanwood6006 I know, I was pointing out that comparing bg3 to Diablo is fuckin dumb
@@Animehermit so does Diablo 4 lol
I'm calling it now BG3 is Game of the Year!
Three AAA companies said Larian setting bar too high. Haha
@archangelgabriel5316 honestly it made me laugh so hard. Reminded me of the Ubisoft devs that were ripping into Elden Ring 🤣
@@runicknight1151 I mean, those Ubisoft devs were right. Elden Ring had tons of issues that reviewers glossed over.
@horkborkm5818 I'd disagree. A lot of their complaints were maybe correct from a 'good game design' perspective but ignored exactly what makes fromsoft games special in the first place.
Thank you for this, Aoife. Loved your introduction to this amazing game.
I've been playing TTRPG D&D since the early 80s. My first CRPG was one of the SSI Gold Box games, "Pool of Radiance" and I played so many other games in that series. A decade later it was on to the Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate, BG2, Icewind Dale and others, where an old friend since high school and I did a ton of co-op.
I poked around for about 50 hours in Early Access for BG3 after it was first released. My friend and I are planning to spend every Saturday after the full game releases doing a co-op campaign; just like the old days!
August 3rd can't come soon enough!
The "Eye of the Beholder" games were fun, too
me and my friend just bought bg3 the other day, our friend group has been interested in possibly starting to play dnd and this seemed like the perfect precursor to learn the core mechanics before jumping into it.
so far we're loving it! super excited for the full release coming soon, i wish i got the game sooner but im also kinda glad i waited so i can see what the full release experience is like.
It's the best rpg I've ever played and already one of my most favourite games in general.
man i'm so hyped for it, can't wait for the release
was also considering trying to play EA, but probably best to wait for the release
@@cluelessclown6562 EA is just Act 1, but the EA build is already 9 months old. Larian Studios said that Act 1 will have 33% more content in the Full Release. And that Act 1 is less than 25% of the Full Game. Which is crazy since people have 100+ hours in EA alone.
@@bebemax95 Yees. That's why I'm thinking it's probably better to wait. It's soon anyway, but the last weeks are the hardest:)
@@cluelessclown6562 Honestly BG3 has had a great early access, the replay value + the full release differences will make your first full playthrough fresh. It didn't hamper the experience jumping in and seeing what feels good to play, though i did only play 40 hours or so 3 years ago
I played the original Baldurs Gate and it was tough getting to grasp with the mechanics. Love that this seems more beginner friendly
game development in general has shaped up alot since then-
we're not llooking for pixel sized pebbles to solve puzzles any longer.
you'll enjoy this one.
I remember the game, but can't remember it even though I played it
@@aaronlc7948 No, it's not. 2e was not clunky and it was hella intuitive. LMAO
@@volourn9764errr no, Thac0 system for example is really unintuitive.
@ChampionshipBetterThenPL same here I remember nothing of it I might play this one though
Ah yes, I convinced a bear to join my D&D party as the Druid on my first irl playthrough. I thought that was fun, but it turns out D&D is only as fun as the people you play it with. You realize that you gotta deal with everyone's opinion, and I MEAN EVERYONE. It's like a group of leaders fighting over who gets to have it their way.
Basically I'm saying to play this game is to have the fun parts of D&D without the bullshit arguing.
Never played a pen and paper rpg, so I wouldn’t know. But isn’t part of the charm that you HAVE to interact with other people? I know the chemistry of the group is essential, but still, there is something special about having to find common ground with other individuals. You could almost say it teaches you skills you can use in real life.
I had no idea what this series was but decided to give this a shot after watching the beginning of a play through and it’s so good! I have no idea how it’s escaped my attention for so long but I’m really enjoying it. I’ve still yet to grasp the gameplay 100 percent but I’ll get there :)
I heard about it before, but stranger things series was my wake up call to really get to know this universe. Almost every monsters in that series is taken from d&d, especially the mind flayers
Rolls sixteen 1's in a row, yeah this is accurate to my D&D experience
I was in highschool when I played BG1, and that was the last D&D game I played... I still consider myself "a beginner" even though I played table top at a very young age (my dad loves being dungeon master). I haven't been so hyped about a D&D game!
I've been dabbling with the early access for this game, and am so excited for the full release. Can't wait to roll up a half elf monk and punch and kick my through the Forgotten Realms.
Good for you for only "dabbling." I went overboard on it and regret it. I wish when it releases it would feel newer for me.
I never played anything from Larian or D&D before, but the early access is already incredible. The freedom and immersion is unmatched. What a gem and I only found out about it a month ago.
The studio also made Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2. Might want to check them out before this game's release. Should be on the cheap and are turn-based.
@@joshuacole917You’re talking about a few extra hours of gameplay before playing BG3. 😂
i played the original two BG games including the expansions back in the day. also played Icewind Dale. played neverwinter nights. played both DOS games, played wrath of the righteous. and also Solasta. i'm completely used to playing turn based RPGs. however i'm wondering whether this will have much appeal to mainstream audiences. i think massive turn based games like this especially based on D&D rules might be a turn off for most tbh even if it is more newb friendly than older BG games.
does it have a chance to win GOTY? maybe. feel like TOTK has it locked for now. unless BG3 or Starfield gets insane review scores.
since i am a PC gamer this might be the only game i might be playing for the rest of this year. this looks fantastic. easily the most bang for your buck by far.
AOIFE! :D
Stopping by to say: a) I am SO fucking excited for this game to drop (just wrapping up a complete[?] run of the early access area), and b) it is SO good to hear your voice (started following you guys WAY back with you and Johnny "Let's Play"ing Dark Souls 1, and Chris "Late To The Party"ing you to...Morrowind? But I haven't been watching/listening to a lot of video game media of late.).
Excited to see your coverage of the full game when it drops. :)
Who are you? No one cares.
Just purchased early access early and waiting on the download but this video made me that much more excited!! Thanks for this super informative video
Engagement to show the algorithm I am interested in this game!
It's very exciting to dive in. Hard to decide on the race and class. I'm going to double dip ... steamdeck and ps5 versions.
Concerned I’d be out of my depth with BG3, but thanks to your videos aimed at beginners, now I’m excited to play. The best advice I’ve gotten here is to just create a character I’ll have fun embodying, and go have fun and create a great adventure - to take my time and take it all in. Not that I won’t have a ton to learn, but it seems doable now. Just got it for PS5, can’t wait to dive in. Thank you!
Have you enjoyed it? I'm seriously considering buying it for ps5 but have no experience with D and D whatsoever
Its my first dnd experience and im loving it so far can not wait till august 3rd
I just want to say I’m enjoying these BG3 videos. Keep making them, Aoife and Eurogamer team!
Every gamer should own this game, even if they only plan to dabble in it every now and then. It's a landmark in this era, showcasing what an enormous compendium of activity a game today can be.
I'm just going off of the character creator that's available in early access, but I wouldn't say the character creation tool is massive, but that's also a good thing. I think it's got a really good level of customization, maybe just a tad more would have been nice, but I'm glad it's not as advanced as some other ones. Too many options can be frustrating IMO
this looks super fun! will be a blast to check it out.
Also I love your accent ^^
This was exactly the beginner video I was looking for so thanks!
As a long-time BG player (off and on for 23 years), and as someone who has played wayyy to much BG3 early access (so much, i actually regret it) here is my single biggest piece of advice for anyone picking up this masterpiece:
Do not "save scum" your way through BG3. that is, don't save the game prior to every interaction, and then reload when you don't get the result you were after. Live with your mistakes (and your bad luck in NPC interactions), and let them be part of what carries you forward. If you don't, nothing will ruin your experience more, and replayability will drop big time.
The best habit to get into is saving directly _after_ an interaction, or series of interactions, with NPC's, and once before every battle you get into.
You really only need to adhere to this principle for BG3 to be a great experience - everything else will take care of itself. I promise you that save scumming will do nothing to improve that experience.
I was never a fan of top-down games, even though I love RPGs. I’m still not generally, but having rinsed Divinity: original sin 1 and 2, im so psyched for this. Larian studios are absolute masters at this, so I’ve no doubt this is potentially GOTY for me!
I've still got the originals on CD. I've also spanked the remasters, Divinity Original Sin 2 and have had BG3 on my wishlist since it was announced. Go for the eyes Boo.
So I played early access all w/e!! - It's good, and I'm not a DnD player at all. Top tip, save often; I did find that I had to go back sometimes when monsters got too strong and try something else. Also really nice video :)
So excited for this game!!!! Just started making videos myself because I can't wait for it.
I might have to get this, if it takes this long to get the next episode out, i'll be in my 70's and probably wont be able to, so hell yeah, lets go D&D.
Aye, really havent played D&D, I’ve got the PHB and have mostly been watching others TT gaming streams/pods, my own TT gaming experience is Warhammer only. Got BG1-2 though but thats ADnD
I was going to get this, but I have been waylaid by enemies and must defend myself.
Played the Table Paper version in the 80's. Been waiting 6 years for BG3. I can wait until official release to enjoy it. :)
Been playing early access to learn the ropes and make all the mistakes ahead of the full release. Couldn't be more excited for this!
How did Larian hold it all together? It's incredible.
A 3d rendered seemless city of baldurs gate was enough to get me excited
I played paper rpg games and BG1 and 2 as a kid. Now gonna play BG3 so many years ago. Once a fan, always a fan.
Does anyone know if ps5 will be mouse and keyboard compatible yet??
@eurogamer are you going to do a let's play/walkthrough?
so does this have any connection with dark alliance boulders gate? i know you said that the 2001 game is a spin off but i been waiting for the 3rd version of that game for years
Just the name really. Nobody seems to want to make realtime isometric RPGs anymore except in the online space, but I went from the old Baldur's Gate games to Diablo to Path Of Exile & that's the one I'm still playing this many years later. It's not a singleplayer narrative-led experience, but it provides something of the same kind of joy.
There was, however, a sequel to Dark Alliance called Dark Alliance II. Whether you can get that to run on current hardware, I have no idea.
Really interested in this game. Starting to get burnt out on HC Diablo 4. Just curious, i heard there will be controller support at launch. Could anyone tell me if it has it now or partial support? I'd get the game this week if it does. If not, i will have to wait until retail release. Thanks in adv
Doesn't have it at the moment, but Steam Input will let you map things to controller buttons & sticks so you can (in a bit of a clunky mouse emulation with hotkeys way) use a controller.
the phone vibrate at 5:11 confused me so much 😂
I see they have Illithids? But do they have tadpole fluid Illithids?
What happens if you lose a battle or you're character gets killed?
Start a new journey or? Never played a BG game, just curious
I've not found a definitive answer yet, but since everyone seems to be save scumming, I reckon you just reload the last save. There doesn't appear to be any way to get out of a fight once it begins.
So if i've never played DandD and have no desire to but really like fantasy rpg games im probably going to like this?
I just bought a gaming PC and I am definitely intrigued . Honestly just don't know how long turn-based combat will interest me as I have literally never played a game with turn-based besides pokemon lmao
It's still early access. Prefer to experience the BEST version, unless its mostly a done deal at this point?
i heard that even tho i can get it rn on steam i should probably wait for few more updates is that the case or should i hop in rn. I want my first experiece to the best it can be within reason. Hope anyone can give me some help on making a choice.
if you want your first experience to be the best, wait until August 3rd for full release
Never played a turn base game. Does it teach you how to do?
I am so hyped for this game! Loving the early access, but am eagerly anticipating creating my character using the full releases customization options. Though, I may do my first playthrough as Shadowheart and romance Lae'zel, if possible. I think that'd be awesome.
Wil it be available for ps5 ?
@@kuja5809 Yes, but it releases a month later on September 6th. I think if you preorder of PS5 you get early access on Sept. 3rd, but I may be wrong on that.
im 100% sure Larian will deliver a masterpiece again!
I don't know if or when I'll ever get to play D&D for real but this will have to do. That & it's a good test for race & class combos on Beyond.
If you want to play d and d and kind of can't this is d and d the game.
Never played any of there types of games but wanted to for a while. Just bought it now can't wait
Is there any point in still getting the early access or should I just wait for the release now?
They're supposedly going to change the beginning so it won't be like playing through the same thing twice, but progress won't carry over, so.. kinda depends on how much time you have & how invested you get in a particular character creator setup.
Yes. You get the deluxe edition upgrade for free and it's worth playing around with the classes to find your preferred class/build.
You can mess a bit with the classes to get an idea.
Nicely made video.
I really hate to ask but, purely out interest, did someone ask you specifically slow down when talking? Or is it slowed down when the video is edited?
A little while back the same thing happened to Zoe’s videos and it’s so odd to hear both of you move away from your usually chirpy cadence you get away with in the game streams to this oddly staccato delivery that feels disappointingly drab by comparison.
I can only think it’s to push out the length of the video or perhaps Americans find regional accents too difficult to follow?
Either way, good video but I’ll remember to hammer that 1.25x speed option in future! 😅
As someone whose never played, though aleays was intrigued in D&D, I definitely fucked up my build lol
My half elf sorcerer at level 5 still gets 1 shot by everyone.
Can't seem to end act 1, 25hr later, stuck in the underdark and cant fight anyone
I never found gale (guess i lost my chance early game since his hand never stuck out of the portal).
I killed Karlach only to find out a week later she could be a companion.
I killed the grove so icant trade with anyone.
I have so much items to sell, but there's nobody left in act 1 to sell to 😂
Hell, nobody left in act 1 at all, i guess i destroyed the whole map. Cant find a way to continue to level up since it seems theres no life left on the map💀.
10/10. No idea what I'm doing but I'm doing it
Do I need to have played 1 & 2?
There's a lot of dnd talk but all im seeing to it affecting gameplay is just rolling a higher number which isnt a difficult thing to grasp. Is there more things that are affected besides the initiative number?
Choosing which abilities/spells to use in which scenario is a lot of it, & working out how using one thing can then cause the next thing to become more powerful or useful. The idea is to basically let you play it as you would play at the tabletop, from character creation through picking how to level, whether to multiclass, etc.
Also the whole rpg aspect. A female voice will describe what you see and give you different approaches, like a dungeonmaster does.
@@DionysosDrinker ah yeah I guess I miss that. I played divinity original sin 2 its gonna take a while to get used to this new voice
@@EauxzThe narrator is actually Malady from DOS2 haha
The narrator for DOS2 is in the game but he plays a demon in the Dark Urge origin.
To be fair, taking gales hand isnt murdering him.
If he was dead, you'd very, very quickly encounter a new problem.
Shhh.. no spoilers
Feed me seymour...
Pretty sure he says you have 2 days to revive him before [REDACTED] when you speak to his ghost
Gale was locked in his pocket dimension though.
When 5e hit the shelves, I took a good look and could see something like this coming. 5e solidified D&D rules to make a true mechanical representation possible. Previously, the rules were too fuzzy and up for interpretation. When 5e came out, it was clear Wizards wanted to really cement the rules, and BG3 is the greatest representation of what they were shooting for.
Seeing as The Breakquest Club is coming back at some point, it'd be really cool to have a video trying to remake your characters in BG3!
Ooh it is? That's good news.
I believe Aoife mentioned during a stream that they had character artwork all done, and they were just trying to figure out filming schedules, so fingers crossed!
I have never tried table top Rpgs. Therefore, I am little reluctant to get in. However, I must admit that game is looking phenomenal.
I never did either, neither bg1 and 2. Having a blast with bg3. It takes a little time to get a full grasp of things but you will do fine just messing around until you do.
@@rogadip yeah I am thinking to give it a try.
Can anyone clarify me if this game is released already or yet to release I'm really confused. How come so many people posting videos about this game like they already completed it when the game is yet to launch on 3rd August🤔
It’s been in Early Access for 3 years
Been early access for a while, but you could only play act 1 of the game. The full release is august 3rd.
Alright 👍. Staying spoiler free until it releases.
Congratulations now I want it 😂 I played Baldur's Gate one and two and loved them a long time ago. But then again I know I'm a nerd.
The download is taking forever 😢😢 can’t wait to play it !!
Can’t remember the last time I’ve been this excited for a game that I’m completely unfamiliar with.
I was just scrolling through my feed aimlessly and your title grabbed my attention. I'm in my mid 50s (I still fondly remember my first D&D module (pre advanced) and I'm never able to explain articulately why I am so excited about this game to my wife. I'm going to watch this again with her after work tonight. She's also not any kind of gamer, and I am hoping with the Explorer Mode difficulty I can guide her through her first experience.
I believe it's co-op, so you could each play a character in the same party & campaign.
@@nightcatarts When I say newb, I will have to hold her hand through *everything*. And to be completly honest, I look forward to seeing it through her eyes.
Yes, you can play co-op. I played early access of BG3 with my sister and we had a great time. I have also played it solo. To my surprise, events played out differently between the playthroughs. The characters you have in your party and the choices you make along the way can completely change major events and minor events.
@@MrDamnLag Have fun :)
i welcome you all, for you are the CHOSEN ONES to play the best RPG of your life - larian studios
Probably my most anticipated game ever
I wouldn't say Asap since your current save game won't be working with the release of the game on August 3rd better wait than investing time.
Ive always said that Shadows of Amn is my favorite game of all time. Now here we are 23 years later and in still alive to see this happen. And I've barely made it. Wait... Eight hours to go? Hope I didn't jinx myself.
Wow. A completely different species from the first BG i played in the day. My mind boggles.
If anyone wants to learn some game-specific lore, context, and background go subscribe to and watch Wolfheart's BG3 videos. I've never played tabletop D&D but i have dabbled in the first two BG games and I enjoyed the latest movie with Captain Kirk, that said my D&D knowledge is still basically: mindflayers are bad right? And Dragonborn look so cool. After watching a new video from Wolfheart I have no problem remembering and reciting the lore he covers.
Im a longtime uber nerd so I definitely had an edge as far as my mind being open to D&D concepts. My comic book collection was in the 3000s before I was in high-school, but the main drawback of true D&D is it needs multiple ppl to truly experience and everyone ive tried to convince has said no in every way possible (even tried the "I will supply the marijuana. It helps with the imagination.")
There are a huge number of TTRPG systems out there, so perhaps another one would appeal more to them. Call Of Cthulhu & Blades In The Dark are my faves; the former putting players in normal people who are facing horrible situations they're in no way prepared for (and probably won't survive), & the latter having players take on the role of criminals in a Dishonored-like post apocalyptic world (where they can even end up in prison). CoC has a lot of skills (real life stuff) to use & can look a little daunting, but it uses a very simple percentile die system where you roll at or below your skill score to succeed. BitD uses one or more of your normal d6 dice & determines how well an action goes depending on your highest roll, with you getting more dice with more proficiency. They're much simpler to learn & there's less weight of lore to scare off newcomers, plus combat isn't as drawn out & tedious as D&D's can be.
Excellent summary for new players :)
Fantastic video thanks 🫶🏻
for me i see this more of a soul succesor for neverwinter night 2, gameplay wise
Can't wait to reroll every hour. I'm gonna love this game so hard
i concord, i never play d&d game, try divinity but is not friendly for players of other game styles, in BG3 is easy to play not i feed confused
While I've never played over the top rpgs this visuals look great probably keep my eye on this one
Doesnt feel like a d&d game.
Its so smooth flowing!! Controller support too! 😱😱😱 i thought i had to click all the way through but NOPE!
Never played games like this and I f with it.🎉🎉🎉
My only concern is that it might be a bit 'too' much. But I've dabbled in the EA and will give it a go.
Other than the next elder scrolls game this is probably my most anticipated game.
I can’t wait to use this as an intro to DND.
Right noy, I'm enjoying your accent :D
This looks like the perfect game to play on my coach 😍😍
4:27 nice elf
I have no interest in playing actual D&D but the game looks slick, will definitely have to give it a go
