Baldur's Gate 3: What You Need To Know Before You Play



Thanks to WD_BLACK for sponsoring this video. https://bit.ly/31nWVR8 Baldur’s Gate 3 is almost here, marking the return of a classic RPG franchise. What’s new? What’s the same? Today I’ll go over what you should know!

They recently sent me their WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe SSD, which is part of their #wdblack line of high-performance storage solutions purpose-built for gamers. Pumped to start transferring massive files back and forth all day! Check it out yourself here: https://bit.ly/31nWVR8

Baldur’s Gate 3 looks to be a fresh, modern take, on classic RPGs. If you’ve played any of Larian Studios recent games, you’ll know they’ve got a knack for building these super in depth, immersive, intractable worlds. With lots of lore, variety, ways to play and characters to discover. Those are some of the reasons the Divinity series became so popular, and it looks like their taking all those elements and more, into Baldur’s Gate 3.

  1. It's an early access game for $60. It will have lots of bugs and missing content. No rational person would pay $60 for a work in progress. Larian is great, but I'd rather have a finished game than bits and pieces with bugs, especially if I'm payijng for it. I'm not going to pay full price to have fun in the future when it's finished and polished. That's just stupid.

  2. My only 'bla bla blins' about this game are the price (200R$ in BRL or 'bout 60-65$ yet better than being Free to Play/Pay to Win combo, where you are forced to waste 1000$ to enjoy or be competitive against payers, such as in Riders of Icarus), still being in Early Acess with just an 1 act avaliable, and due combat being Turn based. Makes me feel they are regreting everything they told/did/evolved to, you know, that I saw personally such builders/bestseller book authors arguing and evolving for, as a BG/NwN/Bioware/Wizards of the Coast gamer since 2000 (1993 with other titles). Such commutative efforts, revisions, gamers and modders feedbacks, solutions added in their content thru Vaults etc, made them incredible awesome, reference points for BIG titles afterwards, such as Guild Wars, WoW, Aion, Perfect World, etc but okay…

    The Graphics are up to date, the environment and its storytelling are cool, compatible with any PnP mestred history, but the Character Creation is poorer than cheaper and F2P games though, where you get more costumizable options. Examples includes Aion, Riders of Icarus, Monster Hunter: World and etc. But what can I do? Mommy said I should avoid trying to be a champion/hero in video games and instead, make them.

    Since I can't build or participate in the creation of engines or computer games in the moment , I can live with what less nooby

  3. For example, I fought the brain bugs in the beginning, my wizard and the melee female character, and got my butt stomped. I watched a tutorial, went back in, put armor on both characters, got high ground, and stomped the brain bugs:) I had to use ingenuity (not telling) on what to cast…

  4. "Not giving much hope to fans of the franchise"
    Literally changes everything about the game so it's unrecogniseable to fans
    Well now I have no hope in a proper BG 3 now they've stolen the name for marketing purposes and made an unrealated game…

  5. I am currently playing Balder's Gate 3 and it has many problems such that I would recommend that anyone wait until the game is actually released and maybe not then. The main problems are the controls (horrid, for example the delete key turns the camera in one direction and to turn the camera in the other direction is a key nowhere near the delete key), party size (only four which doesn't work in D&D, (tank, off-tank, cleric, and mage; hence, no room for rogue, bard, etc.), D&D 5E is problematic relative to Pathfinder (not as interesting, they should have used at minimum D&D 3.5 rules), plus the normal alpha development problems (Vulcan crashes, using Direct X 11). Conclusion; the game is strategically unsound.

  6. I bought Divinity original sin 2 from Steam because of its good reviews. I had high hopes but the first the 10 hours of gameplay confused me. So much things going on without any tutorial or quest guidelines. I ended up being stuck in Fort Joy, not knowing where to go next. Got bored and never touched the game again lol. I might give it a try again someday though.

    Now my question is, is this game(Baldur's Gate 3) for me? since the gameplay is somewhat the same with DOS2.

  7. I don't know why I'm just realizing this, because I've been watching your vids for a hot minute- but I used to watch your MTG games and just put together that its been you the whole time lol

  8. Beware that the elemental interactions is a larian thing, not a dnd thing. (If I have to hear about or deal with another version if the mercer affect, I'll throw my self into a volcano.)

  9. 1:58 Cool man, I usually go past the Sponsors …but Western Digital SSD is really good…I used 1 at fist to boost my pc processing time and then I took another one and combine them to use Windows (gaming, editing, mining coins, etc). Forget about a few MBs of speed transfer (as an example) these 2 SSD COMBINED go way over in terms of speed.I fully recommend.

  10. It's not Balder's gate it's dragon age mixed with pillars of enternity and it's not epic fantasy it's more like urban fantasy, this just an opinion I'm not saying that game isn't fun either

  11. so just like DOS 2 you can create a custom character but is preferable to just play one of the ones Larian creates, so if you dont you will miss out on certain aspects of dialogue etc, in the "real" Baldurs Gate games you created your own character, good or bad, way to go Larian, yet another reason why I think this is just DOS with the dnd ruleset

  12. What I wish that I had known from the beginning is that you can move large objects around(like crates) I just discovered it by accident and it made avoiding a certain trap far easier and is just plain cool.
