The reason Hexblade is so popular has nothing to do with it's roleplay potential. Heck, most people don't even understand the Hexblade as a patron (No, the blade is NOT your patron) . Hexblade is so popular because of two reasons: 1. The insane first level dip that makes every CHA class better. 2. The easiest gish to setup, as the others require levels (ex: Eldritch Knight Fighter, Arcane Trickster Rogue), feats (Ex: Shillelagh Arcana Cleric) or are bound to a race and weapon (ex: Bladesinger Wizard).
@@embodying8moth82 I can definitely see what you mean with just how easy it is to take a full rest and just regain all those spell slots. Kind of just makes the whole thing arbitrary instead of a meaningful use of resources like In tabletop.
@@michaeledwards3825 That's a reason I think Warlock will end up being my favorite go-to for a spellcaster. Short rests are much more common than long rests, at least at ever table I have played at
I've recently replaying dos2 and it's different. I think when wotc wanted a game they obviously wanted it to be closer to their system. When I'm playing BG3 there's alot more planning involved cause you need to consider resource management before attempting to decimate those goblins. There may not be a permadeath situation here but this system provides the player a sense of "hold up can I beat these baddies or do I need to rest". Also I did experience it once, *spoilers* killed goblins in a camp, went to rest, came back everyone was on alert and everyone attacked me on sight (ppl will know what I'm talking about)
Also tip for those wanted to play eldritch knight, look out for Booming Blade or Greenflame Blade cantrips if they are in the game, they'll be your best friends.
@@KalaamNozalys A lot of the more fun options aren't currently in the game because of it, unfortunately.

@@bachpham6862 How are you gonna say his comment is an exaggeration, but then attempt to compare a single game to multiple franchises across multiple genres directed to multiple/different audiences AND to a massive gaming company that has multiple studios who also makes multiple franchises across multiple genres directed to multiple/different audiences?
Something of note: Cleric and Wizard are prepared spellcasters. Not all spellcasters are prepared. So preparing a spell after a long rest is only for these casters. Wizards also have to pick spells known and then prepare out of spells known (which you did mention) while Cleric can prepare almost any cleric spell. (IDR if there is an alignment limitation in 5e.) There are greater differences between Warlock Patrons later on and they allow you to learn different spells. They are a spontaneous (albeit different from other spontaneous) spellcasters. Fiend is more offense while GOO is control. They'll probably add in Hexblade later on for a melee option. There are also 2 other pacts (though they would take more time to code). Pact of the Tome (more spellcasting capability) and Pact of the Blade (additional weapon boost). Warlocks also have fewer spellslots, but they refresh on a short rest rather than a long rest. After every combat, the party automatically gets a short rest.
In regards to player alignment in 5e, most if not all references to mechanically driven alignments has been removed. Even paladins, known in previous editions to be very strict to their alignments (and usually Lawful Good), have no specific requirements. The only thing off the top of my head that I can think of is Spirit Guardians, which deals either Radiant or Necrotic damage if you are Good/Neutral or Evil respectively. Also of note is that they've only seemed to be implementing things from the Player's Handbook only. I may be wrong, feel free to correct that. But if that's the case, then Hexblade, Pact of the Blade, and many other character creation options are unlikely to appear, at least when BG3 launches.
@@guywithpasta9824 Ah, Pact of the Blade was part of the PHB. It just wasn't that great until Hexblade game around. (And some of the better invocations came from XGE.) TBF, if they don't plan on bringing out Hexblade, better to just skip Pact of the Blade. It'd be a lot of effort to code how that works if it's not going to be used. (Pact of the Tome is "easy" to code once they implement more cantrips)
Clerics and Druids are prepared spellcasters and have access to their entire spell list for their class. Same with Paladins, but they are half-casters, so they have fewer spell slots. As you said, wizards are also prepared spellcasters, but have access to whatever spells they have in their spellbook instead. Sorcerers are locked spellcasters,as they choose which spells they have access to during creature and levelup, and cannot change them. Same with ranger and warlock and a number of subclasses, but rangers are half-casters, and warlocks have extremely limited spell slots, but they recharge on a short rest.
There are 3 pact boons, which are chosen at 3rd level and are totally separate from your choice of patron. The pact of the Tome gives you access to any classes' cantrips. The pact of the blade gives you the ability to summon a magic weapon of whatever form (as in the type of weapon: battleaxe, greatsword, dagger, etc) and you are proficient with it. The pact of the chain allows you to cast Find Familiar, but with access to additional creatures.
@@TheMorbidHobo I still think that a paladin needs to prepare his spells that he is going to cast but a paladin knows all the paladin spells not like a wizard researching and discovering them. Paladins also have no cantrips. Paladin (any level) and level 3 warlock is best combo; invocations, cantrips, pact boon and two level 2 warlock spell slots that recharge PER SHORT REST. Use them on crits and you get 6d8 points of radiant damage. Best goes with hexblade warlock that allows you to use charisma modifier and hexblades curse of crit on 19-20 (nearly doubles crit chance) and imposes disadvantage on ability checks. Really good build. I played it with Vengeance paladin level 7. Never dominated the table before like that. Want to know more?
really important to note: TRICKERY and LIFE cleric of these 3 are melee focused (at level 8 they get a buff to their attacks) and LIGHT is ranged/caster focused (traditonally) as it gets a buff to sacred flame/ranged cantrips at level 8
Okay hold the front door. I don't know where the hostility is coming from but chill... First of all, only specific classes are meant to be melee based, subclasses like life and trickery are most certainly not melee focus. You have subclasses like war that let you attack as a bonus action. But we dont have those yet. Secondly, we're nowhere near level 8 right now so you can't keep a note on something that isn't available. And you're talking about divine strike which albeit most of the domains get them with some exceptions, it isn't nearly enough when you have a fighter/barbarian that can do 30 damage with one attack on a Crit. and GWM at that level. The sad truth is clerics aren't built for melee and a smart player would know that. If ever the cleric goes down, the party loses. Lastly, I play with a tortle life cleric and whenever he does get into melee he gets decimated or just ends up casting a spell himself. In my opinion clerics are the most versatile class in the game atm(druid is the other one) that can't fill a specific role but has all the teams composition covered.
Is it bad that I really hope this will be closer to 5e and a little less then Divinity and Pillars. I have played every edition, and have played most D&D based video games, and so far my favorites are the ones that are very close to their Pen and Paper counterparts. Don't get me wrong D:OS and PoE are great games in their own rights but it kinda always felt like a watered down D&D session. Also really hoping that they add in the other subclasses and that the rogues sneak attack not scaling is just a bug.
I think they have said they are adding in all relevant 5e subclasses for the classes that will be in the game. Also the game is entirely based on 5e, including all mechanics in the game, so it will very much be D and D implemented into a game.
It is but because it more d&d the combat sucks... divinity had 10x better combat, might of ruined it. Am not gonna continue playing unless they change it.
You did not mention the invisible magic hand for the arcane trickster, it is one of his main feature. Hopefully they will follow the rules on dnd 5e scaling sneak attack booming blade etc
RIP looks like True Strike is still useless as it is in the tabletop. Takes up your action to get a better chance of hit on an enemy for one hit when you could just attack another time which is the same thing the same action economy, except in the instance where you attack twice, you have a chance to hit twice, doing potentially twice the damage.
the skeleton From space Even then, you could smite twice instead of that once on the next turn. I will give that it makes true strike a bit more useful, same for sneak attack. So arcane trickster is viable, or heck even just a rogue with magic initiate feat.
I think the one time I used it was to give someone help while they were sniping at some giants(the giants were 600 ft away, DM forgot we had sharpshooter) other than that I think when it comes down to the game, you got the advantage of knowing if you'll hit or not (the %). When you're out of spell slots and got a fighter trying kill the goblin in front of you, I'd rather go with true strike than attempting a sacred flame on it. Food for thought.
I might be just cynical, but I don't have a good feeling about the game. It looks like they're doing a Divinity game with a splash of DnD mixed in, not an actual DnD game faithful to the original game (which admitedly is difficult, even the original Baldurs gate games take a lot of liberties). Just the fact that you can bring people back from the brink of death unlimited times with no daily limits/debuffs or other downsides tells me the game will be very casual-oriented
@@exantiuse497 I mean in 5e you can just do a medicine check to stop someone from dying... Or healing word as a bonus action and resurrect them mid combat at range for a level 1 spell slot.
small correction for eldrich knight subclass: you dont need to invest into dexterity at all since your ranged combat option will be mostly cantrips, and since you also have access to heavy armor, dex basically replaces int as your dumpstat.
@@TheMorbidHobo reasonable, i guess its preference, i like to invest into char to navigate encounters peacefully to maintain spellslots and other resources
@@ventrue7 The book is disliked, but the weapon cantrips and Bladesinger are extremely popular. Also the Bladesinger has been confirmed to be revised in the upcoming expansion "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything". And if designed properly it is also one of the few subclasses that allows a character to adopt an entirely different playstyle from the norm of their class, much like the Hexblade Warlock. Combined with the fact that Bladesingers belong in the Forgotten Realms setting, I find it unlikely that it won't be released at all. It might take a while though.
@@DeathIsLethal Well, I downloaded the game and saw that I can't give my character fat titties and ass. Deleted, giving it a bad review. Hopefully they get this fixed. I'm not kidding.
I’m really exited to see how they do the Druid! Also this will be fun because I can try out my min-max builds that I don’t use at the table so as to not piss anybody off!
You will notice the difference early on when you specialise as a mage ... you get class features : evocation mage wont hurt party memebers as much couse of the feat that makes them automaticly succed saving throws, and abjuration mages get a shield whenever they cast abjuration spells ...
Sneak attack also requires specific weapons (i.e has the finesse feature). In your picture it showed it was using strength for damage so maybe that messed it up.
@@Alguem387 no but the weapon needs to have the finesse property. A rogue would have higher dex than str generally so it would only show str if the weapon wasn't a finesse weapon and therefore wouldn't allow sneak attack. I know there are builds that use str for sneak attack (barbarian/rogue) but at low levels that is a lot less likely.
Yeah a thought I had was once they add multiclassing do a dex eldritch knight mixed with abjuration wizard and proc arcane ward with mage armor (idk if itll work in game, I haven't bought it yet)
@@AdrasAdraki Yeah, Pact of the Blade was Xanathar's. I know adding all of the subclasses out and available would probably take a lot of work, but if they just go with the stuff from the PHB, it's gonna be rather lackluster.
Pact of the blade was one of the three actual subclasses pact of the chain, pact of the tome, or pact of the blade. Hexblade was from Xanathars.... but I seriously hope they overhaul this. Thats the biggest disappointment ive seen so far... I love my warlocks...
Rogue Sneak Attack is supposed to set up regularly, at least from the 5E RAW. It is continually fantastic and keeps rogue at the high end of DPS classes at all levels. It’s basically a trope that a 3 level dip into rogue improves almost any character build (depending on role/playstyle but it’s never going to hurt)
i certainly hope the deviation from dnd is minimal some of the stuff I picked up from this video is making me lean more towards Solasta from a pure and experience point of view but I feel I will still love them both equally :)
You should try Pathfinder: Kingmaker if you havent a 3.5D deviation its got it all from feats to multiclassing etc great game with both Turnbased & RTWP with the press of a button
Many of the core rules are there, but do homebrew a few extras into the world. Example Ray of Frost beyond its damage and movement reduction creates a small circle of ice that can cause them to fall prone.
Grandmaster Kush yup own that game I’m holding out for solasta bg3 is a decent attempt but solasta lets you create a party of 4 so it’s most next big anticipation
There are a lot of 'house rules' in effect in BG3. E.g. Shove is a Bonus Action, you can avoid Attacks of Opportunity by using the Jump Bonus Action to leave an enemy's threat range, spells influence the environment(such as acid spells leaving pools that reduce AC by 2 for anything standing in them), etc.
Really enjoyed playing an abyssal Eldritch Scion in Pathfinder Kingmaker. Go all strength/charisma, make a huge greataxe crit (4x crit multiplier) and then instantly unleash a nasty aoe spell as a swift action. Nothing beats that. Hope 5e has something similar.
I personally prefer how pathfinder lets you pick a subclass at character creation. It isn’t intuitive to want a subclass and have to put points into stats (like intelligence for arcane trickster) but can’t use things those stats require till level 3 and gimp yourself early game
First I found thief lackluster on lvl 3 with astarion but when i made on myself it was a lot more fun, feel like they slapped on the boring build on our dear vampire. p.s. melee ranger is loads of fun!
The Ranger class looks like OP class if you go for melee or range build. Plus you can make the class a heavy tank or DPS master. The other classes doesn't connect with me personally.
Ranger isn't really OP in anyway, its Good at stuff. The way Larian changed the 2 most underwhelming class features of the Ranger; Natural Explorer and Favored enemy, is done in a smart and interesting way tho.
I have saved right before my warlock hits 3 so I can go back and take Tome when they make it available. I can’t imagine they don’t add all the class options, at least from the players handbook
If I get to someday play this I'd like if divine soul sorcerer was added as well as pact of the tome for warlock (and maybe the option to choose a warlock patron) also if stuff like Greek mythology is part of this I'd like to play as a sorlock (divine soul sorcerer with fiend warlock) with Hades as there patron just to see how things go (perhaps they are a child of Hades or was adopted by Hades)
The main difference with the warlock patrons at early levels are 1st level abilities and what other spells they give you. Also when I heard there were only Fiend and GOO, I let out the biggest “BOLLOCKS!” I’ve ever said. Then I hear you can only get part of the chain, I just sobbed a little. At least it’s early access so here’s hopping for more.
I haven't played DnD since 3e and I was hoping by now the stupid spell preparation stuff would have been removed since they were supposed to be focusing on streamlining combat. Spell micromanagent is a real annoyance even in PnP. I either know the spell or I don't. I can either cast it whenever I want or I cannot cast it at all. In fact most of the PnP sessions I had, we dropped the whole spell preparation thing for all classes.
@Alex Sedore Has always been the case as far as I can recall and it is still idiotic because it forces you to rest instead of pushing forward. By the rules, spells are already a pain in the ass to cast, since they have casting time, somatic, verbal and ingredient components. Why should I have to prepare them in advance also? How am I supposed to guess what I will need in the following day?
You keep mentioning Pillars of Eternity, but to me this game's class mechanics seems much closer to the old Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 series (especially the spells - some have the exact same name 😁) than POE. Great overview nonetheless! Thanks!
Every cleric was able to do that actually. Control Undead and Inflict Wounds were the spells used for that and they were available to every cleric, regardless of their chosen domains. Rolewise, however, good aligned clerics probably wouldn't to that too frequently.
due to the fact that i dislike some of the p[re made chars, i decided to make a full custom party myself. My main is a warlock/tank, and i've got a wizard, healing cleric and dps cleric with me. the wizard is just the average wizard but will teach it certain spells. and the healing cleric just heals and buffs while the dps cleric debuffs and dps.
At regular intervals you can use the "Short rest" button, be carefull tho that it will trigger the SR for the WHOLE group, if you play in MP. And then once you made a SR, you cannot use that button until you've gone through another fight/encounter. Its like Encounter-> ONE short rest-> Encounter-> ONE short rest. So a Warlock is gonna get his Spellslots at each Short rest, so after each fights he can recharge his Slots. LOng rest makes you put up the camp, where you can alos then socialise with the other charactes and do stuff.
I was really looking forward to this game but am slightly discouraged to learn that it's on rails as far as ways to play your PC. If you are familiar with the 3.5 system or Pathfinder, options available to players in 5.0 DnD are much more linear. Also, I noticed a magic item in a previous video: "raising INT to 18"... this I gather is to give players some flexibility in a video game to play their way, however this kind of item would never be found in a tabletop game. Beautiful looking game though and I'm curious to see what happens as they finish this game out.
@@Delaquoowa subclass of wizards. Oh yeah. Dude you can have like 50 skeletons if you want, ghouls, whites mummies. It's awesome! Balanced pretty well too, you have to be smart to keep all the summons
Ik psionics aren't figured out yet in this current edition of dnd, but I'm super bummed I'm getting yet another dnd based game with no psionics. Closest I get is cypher from ppillars. I'm sure larian could have figured something out if they wanted to. No psionics lowers this on my list of games to prioritize. Its my favorite character to role play and read about but nvr represented
it is far far from accurate. They have really messed up the action economy by letting you disengage as a bonus and shove as a bonus action. Also eating healing as a bonus action.
Can you change her some class after you pick it? I’d hate to be forced into a sub class because the other ones aren’t available yet then get invested in my character and not be able to switch later to what I originally wanted
It's early access so I think any character you make now won't carry over to the full game. Just pick whichever class looks neat and test out the game, see how many glitches you can find
The more I saw in the video the more convinced I was to wait for the full release. Even in the classes and subclasses that are in the game, a lot is missing.
@@Mugthraka it needs more time in the oven, not me playing and getting disappointed. It doesn't even need testing, they have less than half the classes/subclasses that they promised, it needs more content to be actually done.
After playing dos2 it's definitely different and any who says otherwise is unclear of what the 5e ruleset is like. Larian studios has definitely made a 5e d&d game.
Keep up the faith on he early access on Steam. It takes a bit to get it to let you buy the game and download. Guess to many Critters want to get this long awaited game.

Well I let them in, but now there's water everywhere.
@@bachpham6862 How are you gonna say his comment is an exaggeration, but then attempt to compare a single game to multiple franchises across multiple genres directed to multiple/different audiences AND to a massive gaming company that has multiple studios who also makes multiple franchises across multiple genres directed to multiple/different audiences?
Agreed. This game is amazing so far and we don’t even have the whole 1st act available yet! :D
IT IS A "AAA" title!!!!
What are you on about?!
Something of note:
Cleric and Wizard are prepared spellcasters. Not all spellcasters are prepared. So preparing a spell after a long rest is only for these casters. Wizards also have to pick spells known and then prepare out of spells known (which you did mention) while Cleric can prepare almost any cleric spell. (IDR if there is an alignment limitation in 5e.)
There are greater differences between Warlock Patrons later on and they allow you to learn different spells. They are a spontaneous (albeit different from other spontaneous) spellcasters. Fiend is more offense while GOO is control. They'll probably add in Hexblade later on for a melee option. There are also 2 other pacts (though they would take more time to code). Pact of the Tome (more spellcasting capability) and Pact of the Blade (additional weapon boost).
Warlocks also have fewer spellslots, but they refresh on a short rest rather than a long rest. After every combat, the party automatically gets a short rest.
In regards to player alignment in 5e, most if not all references to mechanically driven alignments has been removed. Even paladins, known in previous editions to be very strict to their alignments (and usually Lawful Good), have no specific requirements. The only thing off the top of my head that I can think of is Spirit Guardians, which deals either Radiant or Necrotic damage if you are Good/Neutral or Evil respectively.
Also of note is that they've only seemed to be implementing things from the Player's Handbook only. I may be wrong, feel free to correct that. But if that's the case, then Hexblade, Pact of the Blade, and many other character creation options are unlikely to appear, at least when BG3 launches.
@@guywithpasta9824 Ah, Pact of the Blade was part of the PHB. It just wasn't that great until Hexblade game around. (And some of the better invocations came from XGE.) TBF, if they don't plan on bringing out Hexblade, better to just skip Pact of the Blade. It'd be a lot of effort to code how that works if it's not going to be used. (Pact of the Tome is "easy" to code once they implement more cantrips)
Clerics and Druids are prepared spellcasters and have access to their entire spell list for their class. Same with Paladins, but they are half-casters, so they have fewer spell slots.
As you said, wizards are also prepared spellcasters, but have access to whatever spells they have in their spellbook instead.
Sorcerers are locked spellcasters,as they choose which spells they have access to during creature and levelup, and cannot change them. Same with ranger and warlock and a number of subclasses, but rangers are half-casters, and warlocks have extremely limited spell slots, but they recharge on a short rest.
There are 3 pact boons, which are chosen at 3rd level and are totally separate from your choice of patron.
The pact of the Tome gives you access to any classes' cantrips.
The pact of the blade gives you the ability to summon a magic weapon of whatever form (as in the type of weapon: battleaxe, greatsword, dagger, etc) and you are proficient with it.
The pact of the chain allows you to cast Find Familiar, but with access to additional creatures.
@@TheMorbidHobo I still think that a paladin needs to prepare his spells that he is going to cast but a paladin knows all the paladin spells not like a wizard researching and discovering them.
Paladins also have no cantrips. Paladin (any level) and level 3 warlock is best combo; invocations, cantrips, pact boon and two level 2 warlock spell slots that recharge PER SHORT REST.
Use them on crits and you get 6d8 points of radiant damage. Best goes with hexblade warlock that allows you to use charisma modifier and hexblades curse of crit on 19-20 (nearly doubles crit chance) and imposes disadvantage on ability checks.
Really good build. I played it with Vengeance paladin level 7. Never dominated the table before like that.
Want to know more?
Amazing content, just got gifted this as a present for my birthday; the depth is amazing; keep up the good work! Subscribed :)
really important to note: TRICKERY and LIFE cleric of these 3 are melee focused (at level 8 they get a buff to their attacks) and LIGHT is ranged/caster focused (traditonally) as it gets a buff to sacred flame/ranged cantrips at level 8
If you're not using guiding bolt for every single attack you're playing the cleric wrong...just kidding.
@@Stopjoshinaround wat
Don't worry about it. Everyone has their own play styles so, you do you.
joshua huang yours literally is misleading people. Clerics don’t have the spellslots to do that
Okay hold the front door. I don't know where the hostility is coming from but chill...
First of all, only specific classes are meant to be melee based, subclasses like life and trickery are most certainly not melee focus. You have subclasses like war that let you attack as a bonus action. But we dont have those yet.
Secondly, we're nowhere near level 8 right now so you can't keep a note on something that isn't available. And you're talking about divine strike which albeit most of the domains get them with some exceptions, it isn't nearly enough when you have a fighter/barbarian that can do 30 damage with one attack on a Crit. and GWM at that level. The sad truth is clerics aren't built for melee and a smart player would know that. If ever the cleric goes down, the party loses.
Lastly, I play with a tortle life cleric and whenever he does get into melee he gets decimated or just ends up casting a spell himself.
In my opinion clerics are the most versatile class in the game atm(druid is the other one) that can't fill a specific role but has all the teams composition covered.
love your videos. Always helping me in these games. Lots of love from brazil.
Great info, as always.
If you check the 5th edition rules, we can expect a lot of content to be implemented.
Crazy times for rpg lovers :)
Is it bad that I really hope this will be closer to 5e and a little less then Divinity and Pillars. I have played every edition, and have played most D&D based video games, and so far my favorites are the ones that are very close to their Pen and Paper counterparts. Don't get me wrong D:OS and PoE are great games in their own rights but it kinda always felt like a watered down D&D session.
Also really hoping that they add in the other subclasses and that the rogues sneak attack not scaling is just a bug.
I think they have said they are adding in all relevant 5e subclasses for the classes that will be in the game. Also the game is entirely based on 5e, including all mechanics in the game, so it will very much be D and D implemented into a game.
Why would that be bad?
It is but because it more d&d the combat sucks... divinity had 10x better combat, might of ruined it. Am not gonna continue playing unless they change it.
this will be overwhelmingly like dos3 based on level design, gameplay mechanics and even style. let’s be honest!
@@hm09235nd ...And? whats your point?...
I hope the warlock will get their melee specialization
They have said they will be adding all the options from the 5th edition PG.
@@thorstmixx Oh great, should be in then ! Thanks
@@thorstmixx hexblade in xanathars tho... or were you talking about pact of the blade?
Thorstmixx Do you have a link to all these sub classes? I’m a D&D n00b
@@KiyokaMakibi www.dandwiki.com/wiki/5e_Subclasses
Bless you for time stamping each class
You did not mention the invisible magic hand for the arcane trickster, it is one of his main feature. Hopefully they will follow the rules on dnd 5e scaling sneak attack booming blade etc
RIP looks like True Strike is still useless as it is in the tabletop. Takes up your action to get a better chance of hit on an enemy for one hit when you could just attack another time which is the same thing the same action economy, except in the instance where you attack twice, you have a chance to hit twice, doing potentially twice the damage.
if you have smite its not useless
the skeleton From space Even then, you could smite twice instead of that once on the next turn. I will give that it makes true strike a bit more useful, same for sneak attack. So arcane trickster is viable, or heck even just a rogue with magic initiate feat.
@@theawkwardpotato1973 its still a shit cantrip but it has its uses
the skeleton From space True.
I think the one time I used it was to give someone help while they were sniping at some giants(the giants were 600 ft away, DM forgot we had sharpshooter) other than that I think when it comes down to the game, you got the advantage of knowing if you'll hit or not (the %). When you're out of spell slots and got a fighter trying kill the goblin in front of you, I'd rather go with true strike than attempting a sacred flame on it. Food for thought.
Hopefully we see a druid class soon
There are so many mechanics to translate from the PHB to the game, I'm really curious as to how they will handle it. Truly an ambitious project!
I might be just cynical, but I don't have a good feeling about the game. It looks like they're doing a Divinity game with a splash of DnD mixed in, not an actual DnD game faithful to the original game (which admitedly is difficult, even the original Baldurs gate games take a lot of liberties). Just the fact that you can bring people back from the brink of death unlimited times with no daily limits/debuffs or other downsides tells me the game will be very casual-oriented
@@exantiuse497 I mean in 5e you can just do a medicine check to stop someone from dying... Or healing word as a bonus action and resurrect them mid combat at range for a level 1 spell slot.
@@exantiuse497 yeah what? theres nothing in 5e that stops you from just being saved from the brink of death.
small correction for eldrich knight subclass: you dont need to invest into dexterity at all since your ranged combat option will be mostly cantrips, and since you also have access to heavy armor, dex basically replaces int as your dumpstat.
I'd probably dump CHA for the sake of having a decent Dex Save
@@TheMorbidHobo reasonable, i guess its preference, i like to invest into char to navigate encounters peacefully to maintain spellslots and other resources
Pact of the blade os phb. Hexblade is Xanathars. They do not rely on each other.
I just want my Bladesinger.
Probably they will go phb only also we know that SCAG is disliked by many so I doubt it
I want my hexblade
@@ventrue7 If it's anything like DoS:2, mods will add all of that anyway. They made their last game insanely moddable.
@@ventrue7 The book is disliked, but the weapon cantrips and Bladesinger are extremely popular. Also the Bladesinger has been confirmed to be revised in the upcoming expansion "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything". And if designed properly it is also one of the few subclasses that allows a character to adopt an entirely different playstyle from the norm of their class, much like the Hexblade Warlock. Combined with the fact that Bladesingers belong in the Forgotten Realms setting, I find it unlikely that it won't be released at all. It might take a while though.
Man im hoping they throw in necromancy in the wizard class
They will
My hope is that they add a breast slider to the game before launch. :/
@@Aaron-mj9ie you sir, are a man with priorities lmao.
@@DeathIsLethal Well, I downloaded the game and saw that I can't give my character fat titties and ass. Deleted, giving it a bad review. Hopefully they get this fixed. I'm not kidding.
@@Aaron-mj9ie Fuckin' hell, I almost feel sorry for you if you're not joking. That's... something. You need help.
I’m really exited to see how they do the Druid! Also this will be fun because I can try out my min-max builds that I don’t use at the table so as to not piss anybody off!
Aka vanilla moon Druid. Wonder how they will nerf that unstoppable lvl 2 beast
I hope not! I will also definitely multiclass with level 3 bear totem Barbarian
Most of my favorite subclasses are not there yet, so I think light cleric or great old one warlock for me.
You will notice the difference early on when you specialise as a mage ... you get class features : evocation mage wont hurt party memebers as much couse of the feat that makes them automaticly succed saving throws, and abjuration mages get a shield whenever they cast abjuration spells ...
Sneak attack also requires specific weapons (i.e has the finesse feature). In your picture it showed it was using strength for damage so maybe that messed it up.
You don't need to use dex to make a sneak attack
@@Alguem387 no but the weapon needs to have the finesse property. A rogue would have higher dex than str generally so it would only show str if the weapon wasn't a finesse weapon and therefore wouldn't allow sneak attack. I know there are builds that use str for sneak attack (barbarian/rogue) but at low levels that is a lot less likely.
As a Lore Bard I’m sad they don’t have my class/subclass ... I just wanna seduce the big Bad Dragon I saw in the trailer for this game
And give me buffs :)
*BUFF ME RIGHT NOW*
Eldritch Knight actually does not need any STR, go Dex, get some good Dex based weapons and you're good to go :)
You can also go tank with str and leave dex at 10 or 12
Yeah a thought I had was once they add multiclassing do a dex eldritch knight mixed with abjuration wizard and proc arcane ward with mage armor (idk if itll work in game, I haven't bought it yet)
Thank you so much for this video. Been looking for this and races!
Aw, no Paladin yet? More reason to wait for the full release.
I so far can solo the whole place with rogue sneak and bow. Literally no rest at all.
Thanks for this video. Headaches will start for class and race selection... :)
Bruh, if warlocks dont get pact of the blade imma be disappointed.
They have said they will be adding all the options from the 5th edition PG, so hopefully we'll all be happy.
@@thorstmixx Players handbook lacls a fair bit of options right? Xanathar's and soon to be released tasha's ( i hope those get added on expansions)
@@AdrasAdraki Yeah, Pact of the Blade was Xanathar's. I know adding all of the subclasses out and available would probably take a lot of work, but if they just go with the stuff from the PHB, it's gonna be rather lackluster.
@@LordoftheDice Pact of the Blade is a Phb feature if i recall correctly. Hexblade patron is Xanathar's though.
Pact of the blade was one of the three actual subclasses pact of the chain, pact of the tome, or pact of the blade. Hexblade was from Xanathars.... but I seriously hope they overhaul this. Thats the biggest disappointment ive seen so far... I love my warlocks...
Rogue Sneak Attack is supposed to set up regularly, at least from the 5E RAW. It is continually fantastic and keeps rogue at the high end of DPS classes at all levels. It’s basically a trope that a 3 level dip into rogue improves almost any character build (depending on role/playstyle but it’s never going to hurt)
Will your class builds be more towards roleplay or min-maxing or both? Regardless I'm excited to see the potential of builds you introduce.
i certainly hope the deviation from dnd is minimal some of the stuff I picked up from this video is making me lean more towards Solasta from a pure and experience point of view but I feel I will still love them both equally :)
You should try Pathfinder: Kingmaker if you havent a 3.5D deviation its got it all from feats to multiclassing etc great game with both Turnbased & RTWP with the press of a button
Many of the core rules are there, but do homebrew a few extras into the world. Example Ray of Frost beyond its damage and movement reduction creates a small circle of ice that can cause them to fall prone.
Grandmaster Kush yup own that game I’m holding out for solasta bg3 is a decent attempt but solasta lets you create a party of 4 so it’s most next big anticipation
There are a lot of 'house rules' in effect in BG3. E.g. Shove is a Bonus Action, you can avoid Attacks of Opportunity by using the Jump Bonus Action to leave an enemy's threat range, spells influence the environment(such as acid spells leaving pools that reduce AC by 2 for anything standing in them), etc.
A mage hand guide would be ace, something as a newish dnd player that I've struggled to use. Thanks for another great video :)
Yay for eldritch knight :) Waiting for bard now, thought I might be happy with arcane trickster if bard won't make it into the game.
I for one hope they add necromancy for wizard, I think it would be cool, if a bit tedious to use
God it's people like you who 'calculate' the fun out of most games

I like this kind of game. It reminds me of Soul Harvest, Pillars of Eternity and Divinity.
Really enjoyed playing an abyssal Eldritch Scion in Pathfinder Kingmaker. Go all strength/charisma, make a huge greataxe crit (4x crit multiplier) and then instantly unleash a nasty aoe spell as a swift action. Nothing beats that. Hope 5e has something similar.
PF:KM is so much closer to bg than this abomination here
Give me Shield/Absorve Elements. Thanks
Currently Abjuration feel pree weak :(
The game is a easy 10/10 still
I like the way you explain the game, I really want to try this game now.
Any time table as to when the early access is going to be expanded?
Waiting for my all time favorite goblin barbarian or gnome wizard so I can shrink myself and then carry myself around with mage hand
I suspect Oathbreaker Paladin will be added at a later time, Make a necromancer and a oath breaker party with a death domain cleric :p
Best guides in the industry *anxiously re-rolls
Gimme my pallies and tempest clerics, larian
Forge cleric! Forge cleric!
With the great old one warlock you get more spells to walk around with later down the line. Doesn't give you more casts though.
I personally prefer how pathfinder lets you pick a subclass at character creation. It isn’t intuitive to want a subclass and have to put points into stats (like intelligence for arcane trickster) but can’t use things those stats require till level 3 and gimp yourself early game
First I found thief lackluster on lvl 3 with astarion but when i made on myself it was a lot more fun, feel like they slapped on the boring build on our dear vampire.
p.s. melee ranger is loads of fun!
The Ranger class looks like OP class if you go for melee or range build. Plus you can make the class a heavy tank or DPS master. The other classes doesn't connect with me personally.
Ranger isn't really OP in anyway, its Good at stuff.
The way Larian changed the 2 most underwhelming class features of the Ranger; Natural Explorer and Favored enemy, is done in a smart and interesting way tho.
@@Mugthraka Ranger has more options than before. DOS2 classes was somewhat linear. I haven't played the game myself.
Aww... I really hope they're gonna add Pact of the Tome for Warlock. A Whole Lot of Cantrips for them.
I have saved right before my warlock hits 3 so I can go back and take Tome when they make it available. I can’t imagine they don’t add all the class options, at least from the players handbook
@@LokienSilver Dude, if they add Multiclassing, I'd INSTANTLY go for Rogue-Lock without question
If I get to someday play this I'd like if divine soul sorcerer was added as well as pact of the tome for warlock (and maybe the option to choose a warlock patron) also if stuff like Greek mythology is part of this I'd like to play as a sorlock (divine soul sorcerer with fiend warlock) with Hades as there patron just to see how things go (perhaps they are a child of Hades or was adopted by Hades)
The main difference with the warlock patrons at early levels are 1st level abilities and what other spells they give you.
Also when I heard there were only Fiend and GOO, I let out the biggest “BOLLOCKS!” I’ve ever said. Then I hear you can only get part of the chain, I just sobbed a little. At least it’s early access so here’s hopping for more.
Agreed. I wanted to remake one of the characters I've run in another campaign- pact of the tome undying warlock. Neither available though ;(
I haven't played DnD since 3e and I was hoping by now the stupid spell preparation stuff would have been removed since they were supposed to be focusing on streamlining combat. Spell micromanagent is a real annoyance even in PnP. I either know the spell or I don't. I can either cast it whenever I want or I cannot cast it at all. In fact most of the PnP sessions I had, we dropped the whole spell preparation thing for all classes.
@Alex Sedore Has always been the case as far as I can recall and it is still idiotic because it forces you to rest instead of pushing forward. By the rules, spells are already a pain in the ass to cast, since they have casting time, somatic, verbal and ingredient components. Why should I have to prepare them in advance also? How am I supposed to guess what I will need in the following day?
You keep mentioning Pillars of Eternity, but to me this game's class mechanics seems much closer to the old Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 series (especially the spells - some have the exact same name 😁) than POE. Great overview nonetheless! Thanks!
Just so you know, Neverwinter nights is a d&d based game like the Baldur's Gate series
wasnt there a cleric in neverwinter nights that could control and heal undead?
Every cleric was able to do that actually. Control Undead and Inflict Wounds were the spells used for that and they were available to every cleric, regardless of their chosen domains. Rolewise, however, good aligned clerics probably wouldn't to that too frequently.
@@Artanis69 sooo can it be done in this game tho :p
What gods can you choose as a Cleric? Can you choose Lathander?
due to the fact that i dislike some of the p[re made chars, i decided to make a full custom party myself. My main is a warlock/tank, and i've got a wizard, healing cleric and dps cleric with me. the wizard is just the average wizard but will teach it certain spells. and the healing cleric just heals and buffs while the dps cleric debuffs and dps.
I have to make a two weapon fighting ranger. Try and get as close to my D&D character as possible.
you didn't mention anything about how warlocks regain spell slots on short rests instead of long rests - how does that work in-game?
You get Warlock Spell Slots baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Warlock
Coffee lock time?
At regular intervals you can use the "Short rest" button, be carefull tho that it will trigger the SR for the WHOLE group, if you play in MP.
And then once you made a SR, you cannot use that button until you've gone through another fight/encounter.
Its like Encounter-> ONE short rest-> Encounter-> ONE short rest.
So a Warlock is gonna get his Spellslots at each Short rest, so after each fights he can recharge his Slots.
LOng rest makes you put up the camp, where you can alos then socialise with the other charactes and do stuff.
@@ZombieKatrina assuming you can create Sorcerer Points in the full game, then yes it's Coffee-Lock time
thanks, super helpful !
I didn't really follow things all the way through - will monks make it into the final version of the game? Also, will multiclassing be a thing?
Ah, I've seen the wiki and got my answer. All good!
I was really looking forward to this game but am slightly discouraged to learn that it's on rails as far as ways to play your PC. If you are familiar with the 3.5 system or Pathfinder, options available to players in 5.0 DnD are much more linear. Also, I noticed a magic item in a previous video: "raising INT to 18"... this I gather is to give players some flexibility in a video game to play their way, however this kind of item would never be found in a tabletop game. Beautiful looking game though and I'm curious to see what happens as they finish this game out.
As long as they add in Necromancer for the full game.
Is necromancer a D&D class?
@@Delaquoowa subclass of wizards. Oh yeah. Dude you can have like 50 skeletons if you want, ghouls, whites mummies. It's awesome! Balanced pretty well too, you have to be smart to keep all the summons
Ik psionics aren't figured out yet in this current edition of dnd, but I'm super bummed I'm getting yet another dnd based game with no psionics. Closest I get is cypher from ppillars. I'm sure larian could have figured something out if they wanted to. No psionics lowers this on my list of games to prioritize. Its my favorite character to role play and read about but nvr represented
Looks like they have a class for each stat, except fighter and Ranger can both pick between str and dex
So, can we make a DEX based Fighter instead of STR based?
An actual accurate D&D game. Now THIS is what I wanted to see
it is far far from accurate. They have really messed up the action economy by letting you disengage as a bonus and shove as a bonus action. Also eating healing as a bonus action.
@@seanbraden8756 Still extremely close to being accurate
I hope Samurai comes in for Fighters. Really want that Fighting Spirit/Action Surge combo.
I did this my last campaign also took elven accuracy for triple d20 roll each attack wih combo on :D
Can you change her some class after you pick it? I’d hate to be forced into a sub class because the other ones aren’t available yet then get invested in my character and not be able to switch later to what I originally wanted
It's early access so I think any character you make now won't carry over to the full game. Just pick whichever class looks neat and test out the game, see how many glitches you can find
bladesinger would be amazing. love that class
So when can I do my Human Noble Fighter-Warlock combo?
You can change your spells anytime outside of combat
The more I saw in the video the more convinced I was to wait for the full release. Even in the classes and subclasses that are in the game, a lot is missing.
thats...the point of a early acces...
The game ain't finished, but it needs testing and fine tunning...
@@Mugthraka it needs more time in the oven, not me playing and getting disappointed.
It doesn't even need testing, they have less than half the classes/subclasses that they promised, it needs more content to be actually done.
DUal weild katana kensai mage or equivalent still viable in bg3?
It's just 5e, so I can bring my tabletop builds here. Nice!! Time to divine smite the shit out of everything.
Only six classes? Will the full game also get the paladin, monk, sorcerer, barbarian, bard and druid?
I need a monk class in my life
same
My favored class in Baldurs is Sorcerer, hope it comes soon.
After playing dos2 it's definitely different and any who says otherwise is unclear of what the 5e ruleset is like. Larian studios has definitely made a 5e d&d game.
I also can't wait to get to level 5. That's the biggest game changer early on in the game
keep on dreaming
I hope they add all the new subclasses coming in the book releasing in November
STRanger will be my choice! Greataxe, heavily armored feat, half orc, horde breaker, whirlwind and world is mine! ;-)
Ranger sure seems to be a jack of all trade wich is amazing
I wish to see some day a melee fighter. Some kind of unarmed player just going full goku.
That would be 5e Monk
Well the sneak attack should increase to 2d6 by level 3...maybe its a glitch or Larian hasn't implemented it yet.
Is Selune the only deity option? I've watched 5 videos about the early access cleric, and nobody is talking about the deity options.
Off the top of my head, there's also Shar, Yondalla, Tempus, Moradin, Ilmater, Eilistrae, Lolth, Bane and a couple more.
I’m sad we don’t have Tempest Cleric yet :(
What deities are available?
Keep up the faith on he early access on Steam. It takes a bit to get it to let you buy the game and download. Guess to many Critters want to get this long awaited game.
I got it on GOG didn't have any issues
does anyone else have that one character from an old game that they really really wanna make?
eldritch knight is such a good subclass on the tabletop, hopefully also in the game
