Love the clip channel! So many game play clips come to mind, like the near tpk at Zent hide out, the Sarevok cheese kill, crazy Laezel saving roll…… Thanks for the fun, Wolf!

Baldur's Gate 3 is the best cRPG in the history of cRPGs.

The one issue I have with BG3 exploration is that the map can give the secret away. What is easy to miss looking at the world is often obvious looking at the map. “Ah, I missed a go-able place”. That’s why, for me, it doesn’t quite get 10/10 for exploration.

FROM has the most based approach to secrets. Like Dark Souls 1 hiding entire areas and its entire DLC behind obscure secrets. I loved that.

Ooooh absolutley. The glee I felt finding the hidden areas in hidden areas in BG3. I'm STILL finding entrances and exits to the Underdark after almost 2k hours in BG3. I also loved the puzzles and secrets in DA:I, and they're now referring to it as a "problem". I loved realising the bottles were collectible and the shards were awesome! None of this stuff is 'compulsory', you don't have to engage with it. For those of us who love surprises, it adds so much enjoyment though! One of my favourite moments in DOS:2 was finding the entrance to that hidden nook in Fort Joy and then realising it led to a chasm, a cave, and another group of interactable NPC's! I missed it (and a companion as a result) until my third playthrough!

What made bg3 my number 1 all time rpg was the inventiveness to achieve something. The fact a druid can turn into a cat and have someone throw them to a hard to reach place is amazing.

Amen! And I think the reason for that is because there also gamers . 😉

I had never played a game like BG3 before so really took my time looking at everything and I still managed to miss loads of stuff that I saw in playthroughs on KZbin! It made me go back over and over to see if I could find more. I am currently playing Medieval Dynasty (The Valley) and can I hell find the mines, I have checked maps online but still can't find them. Frustrating? A bit. But no way detracts from the fun of the game.I have tried games which highlight stuff that you need to find and find that far more frustrating and very annoying. What is the point of playing if everything is just going to be laid out in front of you? I am so glad that Sims 4 was so boring that I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try new genres. If I had a complaint for some of these games it would be that as an elderly gamer (61) I cannot react fast enough for some of them but that is a me problem. (Also games like We Harvest Shadows almost killed me with the jump scares!) xxx

100% agree Bg3 nailed the exploration perfectly while some games it feels too linear like ”look shiny object yay”

today i just saw a video that, you take a stool, you break it, it turns to a club with psychic dmg..... I have 700 hrs in the game and I never saw that before...

I just had this thought that many games are afraid of making the player think with nothing happening in screen for a moment. I think at the core there's a valid concern about having to look for obscure interactibles to progress. It's just gotten to the point where any time a player has to stop and think is implicitly seen as a "feel-bad-moment".

After 700 hours, I'm still learning new things you can do in every playthrough. It never gets old

It's why bg3 is my #1. I'm an adult, treat me like an adult

I really hope Bioware will make more toggle options in the coming month, it shouldn't be too difficult to implement? (I'm not a game dev, correct me if I'm wrong). There seems to be way too many hand-holding and visual cues cluttering the screen.

Agree... Recently found out at Waukeens Rest, if you save the man who seeks his wife by going to the left (smash the boards). He will find his wife and cry. When use speak to dead, he will beg you to ask her something.

In fact the answer to that is simpler than you think, it's not that games are getting sillier and sillier, it's that they are created for the masses and what gives the most sales... and what gives the most sales. In these times? Is it the overstimulation with colors, the quick dopamine rewards and what is said on social networks, let's take for example a great franchise like Final Fantasy, it no longer has any trace of puzzle and turn-based combat, now It has colors and fights between colossal entities, you don't need to prepare for a final fight that can cost you hours or days to achieve, now you only have to press a button to complete the entire game, this does not apply only to the video game industry, so much happens in the entertainment like in music, when games of thrones went into decline and became sillier and sillier? When it gained popularity and people started uploading their over-acted reactions to every event, no matter how minor it was, and what did the writers do? give more moments like those and leave history aside, now with music you only see men and women completely over sexualized, with no physical defects, because they eradicated them with surgeries, and what sells is not whether the song was good or not , was the one who danced sexiest in an ultra colorful background... Astarion is a great critic of this, completely perfect and sexualized, so much so that he says, "There's nothing sexier than a vampire, right?" "I'm just a perfect face, the rest doesn't matter" and what did the majority see in his? A sexy vampire that you can "fix"

Im learning this on my 2nd playthrough. I do wish the items that were important were all outlined. I hoarded everything, but i still dont know whats actually important to keep

Lmao not me just finding out you can burn that web XD always going in through the basement door instead

Agreed. After some time with BG3 (significant, although little in comparison to plenty other players) and multiple playthroughs, I will always say that BG3 is just as much RPG as exploration and problem-solving game (skills/spells are just tools to solve problems, whether puzzles, or exploration, or combat encounter). Sometimes you don't get into a fight for hours, you just explore. I always describe this loop in BG3 as "you go into a building, it tells you a story, you find a stellar, it also has a story, you find a hatch/tunnel/passage, and you go into the whole other area that has a story and so on until you either circle back somehow or find a cool reward/boss fight/something-something" Ofc, not every game needs "Siofra River" moment, but I still remember the first time I've discovered The Underdark (part of which you show in the clip). You go into a village, there is a smithy, but what is this, a cracked wall? You go there and there is a whole other area that tells a story how high elf revered Lolth so much she transformed into a spider matriarch, and you have a cool boss fight on your hands. Then you pass some chasm and one of the companions comments "I wonder what is down there" and you think "What if...", cast feather fall and jump... the feel you get, the sense of wonder and discovery, it is marvelous. And the game rewards you with HP for just exploring. I don't think it is possible with a mission based approach, and that is certainly a deliberate design choice, so won't criticize other RPGs, including Veilguard, for not doing rewarding exploration. But, the game becomes so much better when exploration is done right, and it doesn't need to be an open-world game to have exploration in it (especially if you allow your level-designers to cook).

The thing I love the most is the replayability factor. You have the freedom to do whatever you want and the game supports whatever off the wall ideas you have. There is no right or wrong way to play the game, and to fully experience everything the game has to offer, you would need to play several times just to see it all.

It's all Ubisofts fault 😒😮‍💨

Ahh, The good old days, like finding the skulls in Halo

Agreed. This is my top game of all time, and it's all in the details. How many dialogue lines were recorded and how many cutscenes were made, that you'll only get to experience if you somehow manage to fail a dc10 check while having inspiration? I love the more classic RPGs like WotR, but they don't come anywhere near this in terms of exploration and taking in the scenery.

Agreed. Wandering off the path and really exploring just in case there's something there is a part of the adventuring atmosphere. In BG3, some characters might find something because they can jump farther, others because they can talk to animals etc.

so much yes. I've consumed so much content for this game, mostly yours, and I've put untold hours into it myself, and I still love just going back and trying out different choices and variations and characters and exploration and order of events, etc... it's so engrossing and beautiful just to be in Faerun and be in the story come to life. Legendary

Secrets within secrets behind secrets that are under or above secrets is why BG3 is the GOAT

Agreed. I am really curious how Bioware will make Veilguard exploration engaging with the giant glowing objects.

Yeah these clips are great, like this channel 10/10

You’re a very interesting person and I appreciate you sharing your personal life and experiences 😊

Rock it white boi!!! I always hated the flights to Asia from the USA. Very sore on the tail bone. And freaking expensive ($1200-$2000 US average) - which means I've spent more than that before.

Didn't Raphael have over 600hp? 🤔🤔

I beat elminsters ass btw. As it turns out, wizards don't like being silenced, obviously.

keeping elminster in meele range was utterly stupid.

4mins in and we’re already talking about the Ol’ Dic Twist!!!

WOW!! I could defiantly have gotten into this band had I heard of it until now. Nice memories for you for sure.

That was Unisoft summed up perfectly

Mario rabbids is the best thing Ubisoft has made in years.

I have a soft spot for Ubisoft...cuz it's in my city...lol! I think the very first AC prolly had a lot more heart in it that it's subsequent releases. And what's cool is that the maps & environment imagery in AC have helped them in restoring Notre-Dame Cathedral. What game is this?

lol you've definitely lost the "dudebro" vibe. From the backwards hat to the way you talk, you're much more chill now. What a great video!

I didn't ask how big the room was, i said i cast FIREBALL!!

Is there moba mode for BG3?

he woulve lived it was in turn based mode since shield last till the start of the next turn....

I think people shoudl just mod in all spells all the way till level 20... for all classes.

Eminster should have had the shield up still

Bet this was fun to play!

The fact that Ubisofy turned Assassins Creed into basically a cheap Witcher imitation annoys me to this day. AC origins was odd, like assassin's creed but not really, but when I got to try Odyssey out (borrowed from a friend) it was hell no

Dude skull and bones was an ultra mega fail! Like you want players to be nice and kind in an online pirate game on the Terms Of Service?! Plus the game is pure fail trash. And now they got star wars outcast and its complete fail. Heres what happened in France and Ubisoft - its a French company. France had the bloodiest civil war in history where the streets ran red with blood. They killed all their great thinkers and leaders. They literally dont have any real exports except perfume and champagne. The average intelligence in France is slightly re**rded. Ive studied history and France never recovered. Its why Ubisoft never made a decent game beyond Assassin creed 1 the OG. My family has had bad business with the french for many decades as well. And note that decent is the bottom of good. It goes decent, good, great, excellent, master piece. Ubisoft is a ruined company from a ruined people. Ohh wait they did make rainbow six siege… everybody gets one

Ive been following you since this time when you sung this rock music on your main channel! Your life is amazing bro!

Looking forward to them stream clips and what not since I can’t always make them stream now days. Cheers wolf

Enjoyed the video wolf ha Cheers
