EDIT: I heard you! It's here! Watch Episode 0, character creation here: ua-cam.com/video/QX3dLsASyqo/v-deo.html ! Enjoy! [pre-edit text follows below!!] Would you like to see "episode 0" here on UA-cam? It's character creation, the tutorial, and reading about some of the main game characters! Let me know in the comments if you want it and I'll upload it!
Honestly character creation and your own idea of who your character is/will be is great to see, so I would appreciate seeing it in full on YT. Thanks for the great videos.
Your cat is sooo adorable! You have exactly the perfect attitude for BG3. There are just 3 rules to BG3. 1. Explore everywhere. 2. Touch everything. 3. Read everything. And you have exhibited all three attributes! Have fun, I will try to follow you on this journey as best I can.
you shouting "i don't get it!" when that man opens his mouth is truly the act 1 astarion experience, and i say that as someone who romanced him my first playthrough and loved every second of it.
@@thisishowitallends9321I mean in that case he's clearly not your cup of tea and that's fine. But it also doesn't mean that someone else can't also play for 15 times and have him as a favourite
1:06:20 Kolo's question and her response to the answer was the exact moment I liked the video and subscribed. I couldn't agree more Kolo, I couldn't agree more...
Frankly, the game was an absolute mess after the launch. Especially Act 3 basically fell apart along the seams quite often. Now it is much better, so I think Kolo is right on track with the delay!
Biting Astarion without consent XD. The way you feel about his tone of voice (flirty yet dissaproving) really shows how well the character is written. I think you might come to understand him eventually :)
Eventually is starting now, it seems! Something happened on stream tonight that definitely made me think twice... Although idk I'm still confused. The journey is journeying and I agree he is WO well written. They all are. My god this game is a masterpiece
I love "Making someone laugh to incapacitate them? How cruel, how malicious, truly there is a fresh layer of hell for anyone who would resort to such methods. But hey, burning someone to death, a literal war crime? At least it's honest."
"Gale is a malicious magic tickler" is not a phrase I ever expected to hear.... 😆 even with the level of shenanigans that this game can get up to. I'm looking forwards to watching more from you in this series; you have some really interesting reactions to the characters and situations that this game throws at you, and your way of expressing them has been so entertaining, too. It will be really interesting to see if and how your opinions of various things change (or don't) as you delve deeper into the story and plot.
your video randomly came across my feed and im so glad it did! your character looks so great! and your foot controller is so cool, the different accessibility tools people use are so interesting and inventive
Char creation is a massively important and one of the most interesting parts of BG3 (and RPG) LPs, since we see how you arrived to the character and why. It is a very interesting sneak-peek inside your brain
Hi! Omg it’s Kolo!! Playing BG3?! I’m so excited!!! D&D is my special interest and I love that this game brought so many more people into the world of the Forgotten Realms (which happens to be my favorite D&D setting, with maybe the arcana-punk world of Eberron coming in close second)
I love seeing how others explore and learn this what this game has to offer, it's almost like playing for the first time again. Can't wait to see Kolo's take on how the characters are written, and see how she navigates all the interactions! And definitely can't wait to see all the unexpected DnD craziness that will undoubtedly happen 😂
I have wanted to watch someone play BG3. I love the BG games, but I haven't yet found someone I enjoy watching play it. But you - I watched you play Skyrim for seemingly ever. You're the BG3 player I will enjoy. Thanks for this.
Omg a streamer that mutes alerts etc when gaming 💖! Your setup is really cool. Im gonna go and see if i can watch the character creator stream on your twitch. They're oddly satisfying.
I just rewatched it... lol you can see in my face the moment I'm like "okay people are watching, how do I contain this reaction.... okay never mind it's happening" LOL
You, being thoughtful and taking things slow, and the game deliberately slow paced and appreciating it being taking slow? Perfect match. Great first fight with the "brains" btw. Hope that's not too much pushy and backseat-y. It is pretty much individual experience due to the choices player makes, playstyle, choice of class, exploration approach and so on. I would say I've changed my opinion on some companions back and forth, multiple times. All of them have their own fandoms and "not likers" (not really haters, it is too of a strong word, even tho "not likers" isn't even a word). Having your opinion, or let's say your character's opinion mixed with your own, really enhances and personalizes the experience. People are complex, and some are not as likeable as others, depending on their background, dire situation you find yourself in. It was very refreshing to hear a different perspective from the usual one, that's for certain. I would say they are certainly not just followers of the main character, all strangers brought together by chance really. Some of them might be just not good people, at least Ginger might really dislike them.
Yes episode 0 so pleasing 🙏 the most chaotic shenanigans & joyful experience I can possibly take in one episode 🙌take care & sending good vibes to all & hope feeling better now 🌻🐝💖
Episode 0 and a playlist would be amazing!! Just found you and seeing how your set up was fascinating. And your reactions are so entertaining. And the tutorial is a part of the game, it's got to be included. For posterity. Lol. Great session!
Hope you have fun playing! Gale and Astarion (especially Gale) are my favorites haha XD. Give them a chance! I mean, all of the stories are interesting, after all ^^. Great first episode!
YES episode zero! I love also having it as an episode ZERO and not an episode one, something I wish more content creators did. It's a great way to let viewers know in just a title "hey, this isn't essential content, but it's here if you want it." And honestly I LOVE character creation! Both doing it, and watching others.
Thanks so much for this POV! I did it this way because so so many people on other playthroughs have commented negative things about spending so long in character creation (like on my Fallout 4 playthrough for example), so I figured it'd make a bit of sense to try them separately and see what people think of it. I actually got the "episode 0" idea from a TTRPG I was in, where the GM called our first session "episode 0" and it was just us talking about our characters, figuring out character sheets etc. Felt like BG3 was maybe the right one to start doing that with!
@@HelloItsKolo Oh yeah, speaking as someone who's run dnd campaigns and played in dnd 5e, world of darkness, and that sort of thing, having a "session zero," or even several session zeros, one with each individual player, is definitely a common gamemaster technique. It's great for setting the bar for the campaign and making sure everyone is on the same page, establishing lines and veils for the content, just great all around. You are, I think, the most wholesome creator I watch on youtube period. I'm so sorry people have left so many negative comments on character creation of all things! You definitely don't deserve that sort of treatment. Hopefully framing it as a separate video in a more "optional" context will cut down on that. And more views are more views, right? So looking forward to more of this series. Hopefully I can catch a live stream or two but I work really odd hours so I may be a VOD watcher for the time being. Thank you for what you do, Kolo! Great to see you again.
Hi! I do love a session zero! As for views... well for me it's not about more views, it's about curating a space people enjoy. Bringing something to people that makes them feel less alone or just entertained for a bit. If it were about views, I'd just upload every video to UA-cam or TikTok or IG. I'd much rather have a community than more views ❤️
lol. Give your companions a chance. I mean they all have worm brains too. In fact, most companions in this game are a bit off when you meet them. You will change your mind on them as you get to know them.
@@deanospimoniful this is *especially* true for several key characters... I've lost track of how many first time players I've watched kill off Astarion, Karlach, and Laezel... and that's not even mentioning poor little Us :( that little brain puppy is rarely given a chance from the get-go
I always think it's funny how defensive people can get over their favorite companions, and that's not even limited to this game. You just have to accept that people form a first impression based on what is presented to them at the time. They can't know how a character might change later in the story or what's hidden behind the facade, what tragic backstory or evil secrets they carry with them. So try to take an honest reaction for what it is. Don't go into details on how right or wrong Kolo might be, because she's playing the game to figure that out for herself. And if you are curious how her relation to these characters develops, I recommend you follow the playthrough on Twitch!
Finally it has begung. I am so happy to see this. As usual I have not kept up with Twitch, very glad you are uploading it here. And yes, episode 0 would be a most welcome insertion in my ocular region.
So ecstatic that you finally played BG3! This game will both delight and break you. You will bond deeply with your companions as you share shenanigans and adventures, tragic back stories,and trauma. And when the last scene finally unfolds you’ll feel a hurt of the sweetest kind as you bid farewell to a bunch of silly, crazy, exasperating and endearing bunch of people made of pixels. ❤️🥹
What the ever living fried potato and onion pie do I spy? Twitch's best mess of red on the UA-cams. Goodness gracious! Hello Kolo! Remember you fondly from Elite : Dangerous. Don't get around much to Twitch these days, so it was an absolute delight to see you here and beginning your journey through Baldur's Gate 3. So envious to have that first time experience of the world again; I can but imagine the controlled chaotic joy that's ahead of you and the vicarious rest of us. Keep up the amazing work and never change :)
Not disappointed at you _not_ saying (in Beverly Hills voice) "omy gawwd Astarion is sooo hot def gonna be the one I date"; and yes everything you needed to know about this game is Karlach❤🔥🥵
Enchanter Wizard is a VERY powerful class. Played one in our IRL D&D campaign and in my 1st BG3 Playthrough.. One of the best control classes in the game. Want to ensure the enemy doesn’t hit you? But you can hit them? Sure you can blow them to smithereens or take control of their mind, is so much more ... well... efficient. Think. KAA in Jungle Book. Like that.
currently on my 10th playthrough of this game, absolutely love it, even after so many playthroughs, im positive that ive barely even scratched the surface as far as content
1:25:12 wow I never actually considered Enchantment for Gale but it really makes sense now that you mention it xD I multiclassed mine into a bard though which is like similar flavor a similar xD
Been watching your VoDs of this playthrough on Twitch. I'm biting my tongue so hard not to mention something here that breaks the Kolo Chat ToS. Just, uh, be sure to check the, uh, map, um, fog of war... Oh hoping I'm not stretching my limits here.
Such a special games, that I was sad to miss you try out live. Now all I have to do is catch up for the fun, can't wait to see where this one of a kind journey will take us
I would love an episode 0. This was highly entertaining. I played completely blind on my first playthrough. I had played the original Baldur's Gate games but it had been so long I couldn't remember them. I am now about 600 hours into BG3 and on my third playthrough. This game really sucks you in. The character stories are incredible and the way your choices alter the narrative and ending is unlike anything else I have played.
Just started watching now, missed your style! Went over to Twitch for your Mass Effect playthroughs which were awesome to be a part of (was Bombus Rhombus over there) even though I much prefer to stick to one social media thing at a time and UA-cam suits me far better (Twitch is a bit loud and complicated for me). Glad this one's on UA-cam and I'll enjoy it here! Very cool. I completed this game once myself already, in which I was a forest gnome ranger named Strawberry (with red hair, green face and lots of freckles). :) Very excited, very cool! :D
yay ginger characters! Love this. Thanks for watching the Mass Effect vids! The way I'm doing things here on YT now is just doing the first episode as an upload, instead of whole playthroughs... because I just can't keep up with doing entire playthroughs here, both time wise and emotionally haha. There'll still be vids here, ones I make specifically for youtube like compilations, little select moments, or dedicated vids like the PlayStation Access Controller unboxing, stuff like that!
@@HelloItsKolo absolutely groovy that's what you find comfortable, I had fun watching this one, I'll look forward to the eventual compilation then. :) Being a content provider does sound like a time-intensive and 'spoons'-intensive job. Don't think I could do it. I know you'll have a blast with this game! So much fun, and so many different ways everything can go, depending on what you decide to do. So much emotion too, both from expected and unexpected directions. Your slow approach to gaming is similar to mine and I think this is a game it's particularly good for! Someone rushing through would miss out on a great deal of the game. Oh and, "Speak with Animals" is indeed one of the best spells in the game. Definitely always keep that on any character of mine that can have it. :)
I went and watched Ep.0 on Twitch; but I think it would definitely be good to have it on UA-cam as well. The first cutscenes and character creation are kind of important.
I am so glad that you don't have the usual reaction to Astarion that most ladies have. The fact that you can see past the pretty face and suave voice is refreshing.
I love her so much already... and here I was thinking my heart already belonged to Karlach before I even met her!? I think Shadowheart is gonna test that haha!
My only beef, isn’t really a beef, it seems though that you are way too quick to give a pass to Lazel and Shadowheart and you instantly judged Astarion and Gale despite not knowing anything about them. I’ve noticed Gale especially has that effect, and I really do feel its vibes based, and vibes based isn’t the best way to judge. That being said, some people viscerally hate Shadowheart and Laezel as well, but I think if you genuinely don’t like someone, that’s fine. Just give them a fair shot beyond one single conversation before you decide they suck.
First impressions matter and an honest reaction is still valid, even if you might not like it. But I'm sure the writers knew what they were doing when they wrote the characters and their first interactions that way.
Generally speaking, I'd say it def takes some time to warm up to Astarion. Then again, same should be with Lae'zel I think. And I say this as someone who honestly didn't have that much of a problem with him even in the beginning, simply because I love RPG companions that stir up drama and aren't your "yes man" for most of the time lol. When I met him for the first time I could already tell that I was gonna have a lot of fun with him, even though I was absolutely set on doing a good run lmao But I understand how that isn't everyone's cup of tea. They're technically justified in disliking him at first. I just hope that Kolo won't end up hating him so much that she stakes him or sends him away 'cause that would be a waste
I honestly didn't like most of the characters either. I think it's one of the game's biggest weaknesses especially since it's supposed to be character-centric. Like, the stories are interesting, they're "well-written" and have complete arcs, but they're just not very cool or likeable.
Several million Shadowheart, Lae'zel, Astarion, Karlach, Gale and Minthara fans and all the major awards bodies would beg to differ, but your opinions are of course completely valid and correct
It fine, indifference is worse. Personally, I strongly dislike some of them, like truly dislike (not within RP, but as a person), because I got to know them, and I absolutely love it (the fact that I actually genuinely dislike a companion not because of weak writing, but because the way they are, even tho development and writing are brilliant). Some of them are not likeable for a lot of people (even thos companions and NPCs in general are universally praised in this game, as well as awarded with plethora of prizes, not to mention their personal fandoms), and that's on purpose - why should any of them be your friends in first place, some stranger druid/bard/sorcerer/whatever running around prying about their personal lives (and they might be arrogant, annoying, abrasive, and so on - about time actually RPG did characters, bad people, annoying people, intrusive people, and not friendly/unfriendly followers) btw, couple of things: 1) it is much tamer version of most of them, if you think these ones are not likeable - you wouldn't survive an hour interacting with them in early access (I wish some of them were like in early access just to create even more tension, because theme of "trust" is one of the corner stones of the game) 2) It is pretty much in line with series, both BG1 and BG2 (not taking Dark Alliance into account) had companions that would get on your nerves like no other, even more so, some of them won't join you if you have some others in the party, and some will fight to the death with other companions (and will kill them and gg, no more companions)
@@andybodle7560 I'm not trying to claim any kind of objective truth here, I'm just happy I found another person who thinks Gale and Astarion are annoying.

Love this. Sounds like a game that is very compatible with my style! Yay!
And rule 0: Failing a roll can be as interesting as succeeding in it.
@Asyndyn 100%!! Just like in DND!
you shouting "i don't get it!" when that man opens his mouth is truly the act 1 astarion experience, and i say that as someone who romanced him my first playthrough and loved every second of it.
Omg what a ride this game is! Haha
As someone who played 15 times and cringes at everything that comes out of his mouth, it’s not that dramatic lol

Chaotic Wholesome, my new favorite alignment!
I really love your username it's so relatable!!!
They've done quite a few refinements on this game over the past several months, so late to the party isn't such a bad thing.
Frankly, the game was an absolute mess after the launch. Especially Act 3 basically fell apart along the seams quite often. Now it is much better, so I think Kolo is right on track with the delay!
Patch 7 is supposed to be the biggest one so far, and it’s coming soon.
And there is an absolutely massive update on the pipeline atm
Biting Astarion without consent XD. The way you feel about his tone of voice (flirty yet dissaproving) really shows how well the character is written. I think you might come to understand him eventually :)

You, being thoughtful and taking things slow, and the game deliberately slow paced and appreciating it being taking slow? Perfect match.
Great first fight with the "brains" btw.
Hope that's not too much pushy and backseat-y. It is pretty much individual experience due to the choices player makes, playstyle, choice of class, exploration approach and so on. I would say I've changed my opinion on some companions back and forth, multiple times. All of them have their own fandoms and "not likers" (not really haters, it is too of a strong word, even tho "not likers" isn't even a word).

But you can hit them? Sure you can blow them to smithereens or take control of their mind, is so much more ... well... efficient. Think. KAA in Jungle Book. Like that.
Hi from a random just scrolling through UA-cam. Enjoy this game is awesome if you love table top you’re going to love this.
wooh, I had _hoped_ for a Kolo's BG3 gameplay, but I didn't think we would _actually_ get it
😲
It's here! It's time! Let's goooo!!!
@@HelloItsKolo So many things to discover, I'm happy it showed up on my feed, I think I recall your Elite Dangerous vids!
Over here finding you on accident right after I got back into the game after a long break love it
I look forward to the next 130+ hours of game time in this series.
😂 too real
currently on my 10th playthrough of this game, absolutely love it, even after so many playthroughs, im positive that ive barely even scratched the surface as far as content
Bloody hell Kolo, i was waiting for this soooo long^^ Thank you friend! ☺
Astarion is the best 💗
1:25:12 wow I never actually considered Enchantment for Gale but it really makes sense now that you mention it xD
I multiclassed mine into a bard though which is like similar flavor a similar xD
Hi Kolo, hi Pumpkin! I'm sad I missed this live, but happy I can catch up here
Been watching your VoDs of this playthrough on Twitch. I'm biting my tongue so hard not to mention something here that breaks the Kolo Chat ToS. Just, uh, be sure to check the, uh, map, um, fog of war... Oh hoping I'm not stretching my limits here.
1:28:57 I find it hilarious that the first book you picked up is technically not even a book xD
Such a special games, that I was sad to miss you try out live. Now all I have to do is catch up for the fun, can't wait to see where this one of a kind journey will take us
HI HUNA!! ❤️
Re: Shadowheart, memories
She's got a bit of the Zaphod Beeblebrox goin' on
This is a big game, and your impressions of your party members might change over time. Remember Mass Effect? It's kind of like that.
I would love an episode 0. This was highly entertaining. I played completely blind on my first playthrough. I had played the original Baldur's Gate games but it had been so long I couldn't remember them. I am now about 600 hours into BG3 and on my third playthrough. This game really sucks you in. The character stories are incredible and the way your choices alter the narrative and ending is unlike anything else I have played.
Episode 0 (character creation) is live right now! ua-cam.com/video/QX3dLsASyqo/v-deo.html
Just started watching now, missed your style! Went over to Twitch for your Mass Effect playthroughs which were awesome to be a part of (was Bombus Rhombus over there) even though I much prefer to stick to one social media thing at a time and UA-cam suits me far better (Twitch is a bit loud and complicated for me). Glad this one's on UA-cam and I'll enjoy it here! Very cool. I completed this game once myself already, in which I was a forest gnome ranger named Strawberry (with red hair, green face and lots of freckles). :) Very excited, very cool! :D
yay ginger characters! Love this. Thanks for watching the Mass Effect vids!
The way I'm doing things here on YT now is just doing the first episode as an upload, instead of whole playthroughs... because I just can't keep up with doing entire playthroughs here, both time wise and emotionally haha. There'll still be vids here, ones I make specifically for youtube like compilations, little select moments, or dedicated vids like the PlayStation Access Controller unboxing, stuff like that!
@@HelloItsKolo absolutely groovy that's what you find comfortable, I had fun watching this one, I'll look forward to the eventual compilation then. :) Being a content provider does sound like a time-intensive and 'spoons'-intensive job. Don't think I could do it. I know you'll have a blast with this game! So much fun, and so many different ways everything can go, depending on what you decide to do. So much emotion too, both from expected and unexpected directions. Your slow approach to gaming is similar to mine and I think this is a game it's particularly good for! Someone rushing through would miss out on a great deal of the game.
Oh and, "Speak with Animals" is indeed one of the best spells in the game. Definitely always keep that on any character of mine that can have it. :)
I went and watched Ep.0 on Twitch; but I think it would definitely be good to have it on UA-cam as well. The first cutscenes and character creation are kind of important.
I did the thing! It's now available to watch on UA-cam right here: ua-cam.com/video/QX3dLsASyqo/v-deo.html
I am so glad that you don't have the usual reaction to Astarion that most ladies have. The fact that you can see past the pretty face and suave voice is refreshing.
literally nothing wrong with either reactions imo
I mean, I'm gay so that's probably part of it
@@HelloItsKolo oh same lmfao !! i do have the occasional fictional man that captivates me and who i regulary obsess over.
Lol, I’m a bi woman and damn, Asstarion is toxic and annoying lol
@@S0LAVELLANHELL 100% this! The world would be so boring if we all had the same interests!!
Shadowheart has the best story for a companion in the game! BG3 is a masterpeice! 😀
I love her so much already... and here I was thinking my heart already belonged to Karlach before I even met her!? I think Shadowheart is gonna test that haha!
what TTRPGs did you do in long form omg?
Your voice is so soothing
"I'm a sooo fluffy".
Kolo gonna need a few extra PG-stream spatulas for this playthrough 😅
Finally someone who was as annoyed with Astarion as I was when I met him lmfao!
lmao maybe its a readhead thing?!!?
God I love Astarion sass so much but I agree he can give snooty frat boy vibes a lot
kolo! nice to see you again, haven't seen you in a while on my yt page :)
Hii!! Welcome back!
1:13:08 Don’t you worry, my Like is an accurate representation of my experience with the video ^v^
Oh my god I forgot I said all that business about liking and disliking the video 😂😂
Be back in a bit I’m gonna check out that episode 0 on twitch
Just in case you didn't get a chance to yet.. it's now here on UA-cam too! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/QX3dLsASyqo/v-deo.html
EARLY GANGGGGG LETS GOOOOO
Yeah, I'm with you Astarion is the WORST. He is a sleazy, used car salesman type. Arrogant, slimy and just not anyone I would ever talk too.
Jealous 🤦♂️
will you finish this game?
Literally all the info you're looking for including links to the next episodes are in the video description!
My only beef, isn’t really a beef, it seems though that you are way too quick to give a pass to Lazel and Shadowheart and you instantly judged Astarion and Gale despite not knowing anything about them.
I’ve noticed Gale especially has that effect, and I really do feel its vibes based, and vibes based isn’t the best way to judge.
That being said, some people viscerally hate Shadowheart and Laezel as well, but I think if you genuinely don’t like someone, that’s fine.
Just give them a fair shot beyond one single conversation before you decide they suck.
First impressions matter and an honest reaction is still valid, even if you might not like it. But I'm sure the writers knew what they were doing when they wrote the characters and their first interactions that way.
Generally speaking, I'd say it def takes some time to warm up to Astarion. Then again, same should be with Lae'zel I think.
And I say this as someone who honestly didn't have that much of a problem with him even in the beginning, simply because I love RPG companions that stir up drama and aren't your "yes man" for most of the time lol.
When I met him for the first time I could already tell that I was gonna have a lot of fun with him, even though I was absolutely set on doing a good run lmao
But I understand how that isn't everyone's cup of tea. They're technically justified in disliking him at first.
I just hope that Kolo won't end up hating him so much that she stakes him or sends him away 'cause that would be a waste
@@snowpoler yes thats my worry too!
Every replay I intend to romance a different character... but there is something about the snarky goth girl that I cannot get past...
I honestly didn't like most of the characters either. I think it's one of the game's biggest weaknesses especially since it's supposed to be character-centric. Like, the stories are interesting, they're "well-written" and have complete arcs, but they're just not very cool or likeable.
Several million Shadowheart, Lae'zel, Astarion, Karlach, Gale and Minthara fans and all the major awards bodies would beg to differ, but your opinions are of course completely valid and correct
It fine, indifference is worse. Personally, I strongly dislike some of them, like truly dislike (not within RP, but as a person), because I got to know them, and I absolutely love it (the fact that I actually genuinely dislike a companion not because of weak writing, but because the way they are, even tho development and writing are brilliant).
Some of them are not likeable for a lot of people (even thos companions and NPCs in general are universally praised in this game, as well as awarded with plethora of prizes, not to mention their personal fandoms), and that's on purpose - why should any of them be your friends in first place, some stranger druid/bard/sorcerer/whatever running around prying about their personal lives (and they might be arrogant, annoying, abrasive, and so on - about time actually RPG did characters, bad people, annoying people, intrusive people, and not friendly/unfriendly followers)
btw, couple of things:
1) it is much tamer version of most of them, if you think these ones are not likeable - you wouldn't survive an hour interacting with them in early access (I wish some of them were like in early access just to create even more tension, because theme of "trust" is one of the corner stones of the game)
2) It is pretty much in line with series, both BG1 and BG2 (not taking Dark Alliance into account) had companions that would get on your nerves like no other, even more so, some of them won't join you if you have some others in the party, and some will fight to the death with other companions (and will kill them and gg, no more companions)
@@andybodle7560 I'm not trying to claim any kind of objective truth here, I'm just happy I found another person who thinks Gale and Astarion are annoying.
