Think about this: Wizards of the coast, and they have magic the gathering, and dnd as their basis. You can have basically anything there, and because it's so... I don't know... Believable somehow, and so mesmerizing, and then the other half comes from the open-endedness and somewhat mad world. I'm not sure... I can trust that world for being out there, and that fuels it. Now I'm just rambling about what I think. Other games don't really take that grip on you, even if it pulls or pushes you, it doesn't necessarily mean anything but that, and possibly they just did that and leaves you hanging, or they just miss you. But yeah, all of those things share same universe. Dnd, MGT, baldur's Gate... Let's have planeswalkers come up and meet us... Sure there is some reason why it's not happening.😅

Go play the other Forgotten Realms games, especially Planescape: Torment, if you really want to get into the craziness of multiverses and such. That game takes place in Sigil which is located in the same realms as Avernus and the other hells and the realms where elementals and such come from. Such a fun game.

If you get fascinated by the world of Faerun and the Sword Coast there are plenty of novels set in that area not the least of which is the tale of Drizzt Do'Urden, a rebellious drow and the best swordfighter in the world. While Baldur's Gate as a city is merely mentioned in passing other locations such as the Underdark and Icewind Dale are described in detail. Most of the stories take place just north up the coast from BG, but generally the history is canon and the world is the same. Just look up "Drizzt" books...

Well there's also many other games besides the Baldur's Gate ones. There is the Planescape series as well as Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale and Pool Of Radiance; all take place in different areas of Faerun and let you experience the world. Then there are the dungeon crawler and multiplayer ones like Demon Stone and such that let you play as or with Drizzt. So besides the books, there's tons of other games to experience the world, too.

This was the only game I got early access (3 years ago). I grew up with D&D and couldn't wait to see what Larian accomplished. I love what they did & glad Wizards of the Coast (D&D owner), didn't have their sleazy hands in this. I will support Larian 💯 and they earned it. No micro transaction hell scapes either. Which is what WoTC would've done. And they're too cheap to make anything like this. And the company is run by greedy corporate types that don't know anything about D&D. You can tell fans made this game and not WoTC. It's unfortunate that the company isn't run by Larian.

I think I have around 60-80 hours of actual playtime in game and I am just now getting to *Act 2* 😂😂 going into *Act 2* at level 6 is going to be fun though since I hopefully will wreck enemies, even though the *Skeletons & Ghouls* you fight at the start of *Act 2* were kicking my ass a little bit... would love to see more *Lore Videos* about *DnD & BG3* as I've only played *DnD* with the homies for like 30 mins a couple times so I really do not know much at all when it comes to *The Lore Of DnD & BG3* and its a lot to learn for sure...

I guess it's inevitable when a setting is used as a setting for a lot of high fantasy adventures by a lot of writers of different skill. You have power creep, a world ending menace every few years that makes everything trivial, and what distinguish the setting gets lost, so it becomes just a recollection of lore trivia. I'd add that in my opinion you can really see when a Marvel or DC (but especially the first) writer gets the task of writing something in another setting, the result will often be a story with a world-ending threat that ends up being beaten without consequences and half the time spent in characters having drama about feelings (example that Incal spinoff with the psycho-nuns)

"Lore you "NEED" to know" -- 5 seconds in : "Topics you "MAY" want to know about". Make up your mind yo. Do I really need to know it as the clickbait title suggests, or is it just generic lore? :-) Edit: Huh.. I take it back. I thought from the title it's just another generic click-bait video... But this was indeed lore that is much NEEDED. Well done, sir. Great job!!

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. Unfortunately the youtube algorithm works in such a way that, if I want my video to be seen, I have to use a title like that. I very much dislike it and only do it if I am confident a video will actually provide value to people. "Baldur's Gate 3 lore you perhaps would like to know" doesn't work that well sadly 😅 Glad you enjoyed the video still though, happy adventuring my friend!

I can’t stop playing already put 20 hrs in and still in act 1! (Im a loot goblin not using any videos) if I didn’t have to work this would be my life until i enjoyed every last morsel of it😌 I feel like cartman at work just wanting to take my fat ass home to play it😅

Might be a bit old but don't worry bro!! Take your time, if it's truly your first run ever , do it *blind* until you absolutely (I mean after hours of thinking) have no reasonable solution to something like a puzzle. I made sure I didn't even *touch* BG3 videos at all during my first campaign these past few months, and it's worth it. You can learn a lot just by being curious in the game. This is that type of game that if you're already into it, just playing it will absolutely enthrall you and leave you wondering where the fuck the hours went with a big smile like you got something back you haven't had in a while : *FUN* Man, I had the game in Early Access on my laptop when it was first released but my computer is inferior and couldn't handle the environments after a certain point, so I waited until it was on console myself. It was a long wait, but man was it worth it . I am now on my second run with just as much curiosity as my first run and I upped the difficulty to ensure my alertness bc with that alone I already am getting shit on by fights I considered easier with Balanced. I can't state this enough, but seriously takkkkeee your timmmeeee...by the time your first run is over, the journey itself will hit you, it will leave you just amazed at how much you your party went through. Find your favorite companions and be their bro, or sis. Or just say fuck them all, however you do it, don't even think about rushing to do something. Enjoy every last second of this work of art, and cherish the journey my friend. One of the best games of all time, ever.

Dude sick breakdown of the lore! Thank you! This fantasy world is way deeper and more epic than I thought dam bg3 is such a good game. They could honestly make so many good movies from this world too. Also imagine a bauldurs gate MMO, with the same or similar combat and magic system as bg3. Id die in my computer chair right there, butt cheeks fused to it haha. Thanks again, I'll probably be binge watching your videos now good job, peace out.
