Amazing beginner's guide, thank you so much. As a complete noob to D&D I watched so many beginners videos but they were all about character building and/or how to add up the values of the dice, it meant absolutely nothing to me because I am a complete beginner and know nothing about this game. This is the first beginners guide that actually introduces you into every aspect of the game and tells you about the things that really matter to a beginner extremely well. I realize how much work it is to make such a video so liked and subscribed, it's the least I can do.

[@k.5045]

I was extremely intimidated and confused when I opened the game. Honestly I thought about giving up. I’ve never played anything like d&d and I don’t have much experience with rpg’s but I really wanted to have a go at this game. Thank you so much for the tutorial it really helped break everything down and made so much sense of everything!!

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a KZbin video before but this legitimately might be the most helpful video I’ve ever seen. Incredible work, now back to passive viewing for another 15 years.

I tried to go into BG3 blind after hearing great things about it. I never played a DND RPG before and really struggled even on easy mode.

33:50 small correction regarding stealth. Full sun means you cannot make a stealth check, it you are seen you will be removed from hide. Half sun means you need to make a stealth check to maintain your stealth and no sun means no check is necessary (unless your opponent has dark sight).

[@Numskll]

Does it also deal with Full Cover, Half Cover and No Cover??

[@socratese5]

it's interesting how you are watching this but don't sound like a beginner,

[@ReverendLeRoux]

@@socratese5 because there are things in a beginners guide that I might not know. What I talked about regarding the stealth checks is something you would only know if you opened the games extensive tutorial section about stealth and read the entire seven paragraph explanation on the mechanics, which I did after failing a stealth check and not understanding why. I figured I'd mention it here because who else wants to do that? Some information that I think may be considered critical is often buried in hard to read encyclopedias.

/Edit/ For anyone lurking and wondering, "Do I really want to spend 1.5hr on a video to play a game better?" For me, 100+ hours in now and almost done, it made a huge difference and allowed me to understand game mechanics that individually aren't complicated, but as a whole are then incredibly complicated. This game, it's depth and how well written it is, deserves to be experienced entirely and this video allowed me to do that. /Edit/ That was gruesome but absolutely necessary. You clearly made it as painless as possible while still covering everything that matters. 90m across four days well spent in my opinion, so thank you very much. I'm ready to start over after a few hours and play for real now

Thank you sooo much for making this video! I am new to D&D games and I have been struggling for hours/days, and googling "what does this mean/do", "why can't I do this and that" didn't help🥲 But this video is the Chef's Kiss of BG3 Beginner's Guide🤌 I went through a couple of ones and remained as confused as ever. But with this, this MASTERPIECE of a video guide every other minute I was "Aaaaaa so this is what I need to do","Ooooooo so this is how this works". Again THANK YOU for doing this and for all of the hard work you put into making this video

[@fredrikfjeld1575]

A couple of impotant points: Holding alt does not show most lootable containers. So you still need to be at the lookout. Another point is that you can fast travel whenever you want from the map. You do not have to actually be near one of the way things. Press M, press where you want to go, and vola, there you are. Edit: Even though you can see your bonuses and proficiencies when you choose a dialog option, you do NOT know if it is the easiest one to pass. One check, where you have 0 bonuses, can require you to roll a 5. Another one where you have 5 bonus points can require you to roll a 15. The first one will be a lot easier, but you have no way of telling, except for intuition about what the character you are interacting with is likely to believe and want to hear. When it comes to karmic dice rolls, it removes that you can do a lot of high rolls in a row as well as low, if I understand it correctly. It also does the same for your enemies. So it does not tip anything in your favor, except for both you and your enemy not rolling 1s and 20s as many times in a row. That being said, it is probably a boost in conversations, since if you have like a bonus 10 total, then you do not care about what it is beyond 1, as long as it isn't 1, in any interaction that requires a 10.

Fantastic video for any new players and noobs to D&D like me. After the first hour of the game I felt it was so overwhelming I would not be able to play it. Having watched this I now feel much more confident - whatever may come, I will overcome. What I do appreciate that there is no clowning in this video at all. Thanks.

[@tamuc08]

This was super helpful. I'd never played DnD before and I struggled to get into the game. I watched this primer, started a new game, and got further in 5 hours than I had in the previous week of trying. Thanks a million!

[@lmschoon]

This was such a great video, I’ve never played a game like this, and I was super intimidated and overwhelmed trying to figure it out with just the tutorial features. I’m super excited to play after spending the time to make it through this entire video. You’re the best!

[@TJR-hs2dj]

This honestly has been the best guide I've seen. I've never played the BG games and felt intimidated with everything going on but this helps explain everything in a simple yet extensive way that is easy to understand. Greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into this video! It's a huge help for new players like myself!

[@genevieveryan5771]

Great intro video! Thank you so much for the time and effort spent creating this. It gave everything I was looking for in a beginner guide and a thorough introduction to the game and mechanics.

[@thebeardsmith]

Amazing guide, can't wait to get in and play the game. Good watch while I wait for the install.

[@nicbarrax76]

I'm so happy I found your fantastic video at the start of my BG3 journey... It's an overwhelming game for beginners... 😂 Thank you so much!!!

[@luckynemo1130]

Looked for combat tips and ended up watching this all the way through cuz I kept learning things I overlooked. Appreciate this

[@infin1ty850]

This is an incredibly helpful video. I haven't played a game of D&D in my life, but this game way too great to pass up, so this really did a great job of braking things down.

[@briancoleman9330]

Perfect guide while waiting for the download. Watched it all the way to the end, very informative and well done. Thank you for taking the time to make such a comprehensive guide!

[@dalebuchanan5851]

I have watched 100 BG3 guides looking for this quality, and wouldn't you know it, my favorite ESO CC comes out with a guide that beats all the others. Should have checked here first! 😊

[@CatherineTillman-qy4tn]

Seriously best explanation ever!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this. I just started this game and needed help and no other videos break it down this well. I watched the whole thing and now excited to play.

[@sylviaasmar3628]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! It was wonderful! I took like 8.5 pages of notes and it was very detailed and descriptive. You’re amazing and gained a new fan!

[@MapleFried]

Fantastic video. Your ability to divulge critical information while refraining from spoiling anything in the game content-wise. Learned a couple of tricks from this guide, and I alreadybhave over 70 of playtime over 2 characters.

[@DRo-ji6zj]

Just got into the game 2 days ago. It's a looooooot to wrap your head around if you're not used to this kind of game, and this guide proved incredibly helpful. A lot of it is explained by the game, but still, in every section, there is something you might have missed or not thought of, so this is pure gold.

[@justinburchette]

Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you SO much for this video! This is such an excellent, well made tutorial; I simply cannot stress how helpful its been to me (and to countless others) in learning about all of the different mechanisms used in this game. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart: *Thank you so very much, my friend!* 🖤 I only wish I could find a guide like this for the console versions (specifically the PS5). While the vast majority of it is universal, there are some things that are a little confusing for me to find / figure out... though that's just mostly down to the controls and stuff.

[@skye2pro824]

Thank you so much! I was so confused and overwhelmed and didn’t even bother playing it anymore because I kept dying at the beginning, but now I am super confident and can’t wait to play 😁

[@LuckyGhost]

good luck! you've got this!

[@ccapp3389]

This was gold; all mechanics, all systems, no spoilers, as it should be! Thank you!

[@andrewbox2691]

Dang, maybe the best video game guide video I’ve ever watched. Thanks for putting so much work into covering everything so clearly. Top notch.

[@rileyfitzpatrickiii6934]

Thank you so much for walking me through this. Ive never played DnD or BG before so i needed a detailed vid. Going to give it my first try as a Warlock this weekend!

[@SICKO1337]

Bro you make the most banging content. You have saved my ass countless time with your ESO guides. This is my first time dipping my toes into this kind of game and I was lost until I found this video. 10/10, well deserved sub.

[@aarongonsalves5778]

I was always too scared to play these types of games because of how complicated it looks, but this was a fantastic video and it’s encouraged me to give it a go. Thanks for making it so detailed.

[@panamike6178]

Is it worth buying? I've never played a game like this before, I played FF7 on PS1 and that was it, is it like that one?

[@rubyshaw4619]

@@panamike6178 nope more strategic.

[@littlejune131]

@@panamike6178 Baldur's Gate is vastly different from any of FF's installments. It's much more strategic, much more expansive, much more profound in terms of lore, character interactions and choice consequences, and overall much more mature and complex in tone and execution. I personally don't have any experience with DnD or this type of gameplay, but I've still been enjoying it quite a lot as a complete noob to the genre, though it can feel overwhelming at first.

[@skyemackinnon7607]

Thank you! This has been the only video that has truly helped me, first time playing anything like this before and this video has helped me gain a better understanding and made the experience so much better! 😊✨

[@nickcarter9251]

thanks for that I had been delaying playing BG3 due my inexperience and lack of knowledge having never layed D&D Having watched the entore video I feel able to grasp the basics of the game layour and mechanics and look forward to enjoying the game. Thanks again for this extensive video

[@GuiiBrazil]

Incredible and complete video. The game dosen't explain much and this video works wonders. Congratulations my friend. You're awesome!

[@sailorgunsveteran5260]

Yes a totally comprehensive and understandable tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort on this.

[@dennyb9186]

Great video !! Watched till end and learned so so much. I'm already twice as deadly in combat after this guide. Thank you. This isn't an easy game for newbies and being able to have my hand held through this video was fun and made the game 1000x less overwhelming

[@dawnvanderstoep_artist]

This is an incredible video!. You explain everything so clearly and now I feel like I can have fun. I have some friends and family playing and the game looked so overwhelming, but I’m now confident that I can play the game and join in the fun. Thank you!

[@Korean_Snack]

This is by far the best guide I've seen. A thorough and easy to understand breakdown on the termilogy and DND mechanics that is much needed to survive in this game. Would love to see a shorter guide for PS5 and controller nuances if possible. Thanks for the great content!

[@LuckyGhost]

thank you so much for the tip!! really, really appreciate the generosity, thanks!

[@fene2899]

Great job! Thanks for clearly explaining crucial features without plot spoilers.

[@robkafka5949]

Great video! 36 hrs in with a buddy and learned about 30% more information about the game by watching this. Great quality of life stuff I didn't know.

[@NightOrchids]

Really excellent, easily the best bg3 beginners video of all.. Ive watched this video dozens of times and this video has taken me from frustration to enjoyment and loving tbe game now... you also explain everything in a nice, patient and relaxed manner, which is enjoyable to learn... Thanks for making this Lucky. Keep up the good work 👍

[@craigsovilla6578]

Crazy how times have changed. We used to buy physical copies of games that would come with a handbook to explain all of a game's controls, concepts, and mechanics. Now, we have to take to the internet or KZbin when a new game releases digitally to help us get through it. Nevertheless, you went into excruciating detail about everything this game has to offer, and it was more informative than any booklet could have been. Thank you for the time and effort you spent on this. You've encouraged me, as well as a lot of others, to give this game a go.

[@Splizacular]

What i wonder is how yall think people like him get the info he's giving you. I mean these ppl making these guides just sat down and played the game a bunch. More often than not that's the way its always been done. Manuals...lmao Times haven't changed my friend, gamers have. The fact that he opens the video with the phrase "fear and trepidation" says it all. It's a damn game for goodness sake, not open heart surgery. Push bttons. Stuff happens. When wrong stuff happens, push different buttons.

[@AdrianH53]

Yooooo BG3 just came out for xbox today so this is ESSENTIAL! Thank you so much for posting this. Downloading the game now and excited to dive in!

[@LuckyGhost]

Have fun!

[@cheyenneb1552]

This helped more than any other video I watched. I finally don't feel so overwhelmed.

[@PieOnPot]

Fantastic breakdown. Thanks for putting this together. I've played D2, but a friend of mine is a novice gamer and I wanted to make sure I had some type of understanding how close/far it was from D2 so I could help guide without spoiling it for me either.

[@Bearzukamori]

Thank you for this! You helped me understand ESO as well, so I'm excited to follow your BG3 content. Thank you for being so thorough. I get overwhelmed by complicated UIs, this is a lifesaver.

[@LuckyGhost]

Thank YOU for enjoying the content! Appreciate the kind words

[@monkeyfunkr]

Wow! That was incredible. I've never played this sort of game before and this cleared up soooo many questions and definitely has made things less daunting.

[@FeralFawns]

your guides are total lifesavers. thank you for all of the work you put in to these!

[@caffeinedreams5827]

Thank you! I’m a long time D&D player but we to the game. This guide was great for all the gameplay pieces as well as some nice refreshers for 5e mechanics that are often glazed over when playing in person. Well done.

[@willypumphandle3131]

The best Beginners guide on KZbin. It saved me from giving up on the game after 3 hours of getting slaughtered because I picked the wrong class for my Drow. Its now the best RPG I have ever played in 30 years. Thanks Lucky Ghost, I name checked you on my Steam review. Love the follow up videos as well, hope you make many more.

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad I could help!

[@sergiocamara93]

Amazing, spoiler-free, detailed guide. Best one I’ve seen for new players. Thanks, you’ve got a new sub!!

[@Rez_nick]

Just bought BG3 and I had zero idea how to play it, its very complected for someone that has never played games like this. This is the only video that explains everything a new player needs to know at the start, Thank you.

[@khalipso9668]

Bought this last night on a friends recommendation, Ive played Diablo 1,2,3,4 / PoE / WoW / Skyrim / Dragonage Inquestion etc.... I played this for about 2 hours last night and was enjoying it but just felt kinda lost with some of the controls. After watching this I can not wait to go home and dive back in. This gives so much clarity into a lot of little things that seem to make up a whole lot in the gameplay! Thank you!

[@perunarieska9182]

Was super apprehensive about starting, but luckily saw your vid and felt prepared enough to begin. Thank you for making things easy to understand! ❤ (no experience in D&D, and never played turn-based games like this)

[@lordaizen8004]

I watched a ton of videos before getting the game yesterday. It helped me get going and after about 5-6 hours I went back and re-watched the videos and NOW all of this info makes A LOT more sense, being able to apply it to what I've learned so far. I can't wait to get back into the game today, I feel so much more ready and capable 👍😀

[@Gr1dSh7ftR]

Dude ur a legend. I played all the black isle games back in the day. Pool of radiance, Planescape torment, icewind dale, the baldurs gates, neverwinter... and then there was this huge break of like 15 years where they didnt make ANY games in that amazing format. Then pillars of eternity came out and it was alright but just didnt have the same vibe but it scratched that itch. And then a wild bg3 suddenly appears! I couldnt believe it i never thought id see one of these games again! But its been so long and the game looks intimidating to get started on, what with the exshaustive races and class combinations available, it seems overwhelming. After watching this video though I feel much more prepared. Thanks bro.

[@JustinArrington]

First time seeing one of your videos. I watched it in its entirety. I even had to re-watch some things to make sure I got them all. This was extremely informative and easy to understand. Thank you for your efforts.

[@JCee3223]

Thank you for this comprehensive, detailed guide!. This is my first ever turn-based CRPG game ever so it's been daunting watching streamers play it. You explained everything so well and concise!. I feel more confident at playing this game now.

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad I could help!

[@fullmetalmidget]

Love your guides! They're so helpful. The guide you made for final fantasy xiv was awesome, and this one doesn't disappoint either. Keep up the good work! 💪

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad you like them!

[@keegan8517]

Dude, thank you, honestly. I was getting pretty frustrated as a new player on medium difficulty. This really answered all the questions i had and the problems i was facing.
