Baldur's Gate 3 Crew Plays - FULL STREAM #1

Eric likes the music, eh? Can’t wait to see his reaction to the House of Hope!!!

[@spenceregerton5268]

I almost choked when I watched Eric click dash as his action, then wonder why he wasn't able to attack that turn 🤔, then he passed turn without even moving xD love it! Excited for the rest of the playthrough. Edit: timestamp - 1:52:07 - 1:53:04

[@hafor2846]

You choke because people don't naturally know how to play a game?

[@hafor2846]

@@opalmirage Why do people like you always think that making comments on the internet means someone isn't relaxed? If I'm not relaxed, I don't write comments on the internet. I shut off my PC and do something fun. You know, something you could do from time to time. Maybe relax yourself and take a somewhat sarcastic comment as what it is? An inconsequential light ribbing?

The music is so damn good. It's really noticeable when watching others play this game.

[@JKBlackClover]

One BG3 stream a month? It’s gonna take them decades to finish this game from what I’ve heard about how long the story is. 😂 But you know what? I’m here for it.

[@nickrubin7312]

semi-rushed experience about 80h, would take them probably a year to finish typical 140-160h somewhat completionist, although it is impossible to complete everything in 1run, will take them 2 years perhaps, maybe a bit less. My prediction they either rush a bit, or drop after 3-4 streams

[@HiItsMars]

@@nickrubin7312 calling rushed an 80 hour playthrough deranged. My honor mode playthrough was 80 hours lmfao. Can easily rush this game in 50 if not less.

It's their One Piece game I guess lol

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

@@nickrubin7312 Yeah they'll definitely drop it. Even if the length doesn't put them off, Eric just struggles to wrap his head around RPG's. He played all 3 Mass Effect games while barely interacting with any of the powers lol, he'll hate BG3.

[@Icefusion82]

Eric getting so defensive over the squirrel 😂

[@Amber_Witch]

If Eric still wants to control his character's movement more directly by next session, using a controller lets you do that.

[@ffreed]

Imagine the Muppet Babies coming out of THAT nursery.

[@connorboyle2585]

Dayman, light cleric/monk multiclass with high charisma. Cause he's a master of karate and friendship for everyone. 100% going on my character list. I adore that kick the squirrel cutscene, it's so unnecessarily brutal it becomes comedic. It's like a good renegade line or interrupt in ME, it's hard _not_ to pick it every time, regardless of what fits my current character.

[@WSPBane]

That was pretty entertaining. It is certainly a different experience when you have 3 people running around doing things at the same time. I am interested to see how their journey continues, hopefully I remember to come back in a month!

[@mishiara5499]

A big tip guys whern it comes to combat - ranged attacks rolls has lower chance to hit its target when you are to close to it - you kept running in with shadowheart to use firebolt lowering the chance it will it the enemy. I know you guys have played D&D this should not be news to you?

[@andybodle7560]

Also, Shadowheart's firebolt is a racial skill, and its modifier is intelligence. Her intelligence is 8! Of course she's going to miss with it. The best thing to do is respec her with Withers, but failing that, use Sacred Flame, or just give her a light crossbow, as her dex is respectable.

i love how he immediately played it off. the others are like "omg!!" and eric is just "damn, no loot"

Eric should try fighter or Barbarian, they seem like they would fit his playstyle more

[@chaost4544]

Monk as well.

[@rgractor]

@@chaost4544that might be too much power for him to handle.

[@Crimsonwhocares]

Honestly cleric is the only class I have played that I felt didn't have a lot to do.

[@nickrubin7312]

Agree, he plays like a fighter. Cleric is a caster class in heavy armor (especially Tempest that he picked), or support, of with War Domain Fighter-Caster more or less

[@Azure217]

If he still wants spells he could do Paladin, or fewer spells than that could do an eldritch knight fighter. Either way its really nice you can respec characters so cheaply and freely in bg3!

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

Eric liking Astarion's voice gives me all the good tingles! I can't wait to see which characters will get romanced!

[@ashleyjohnson9651]

i dont know that its really possible to romance companions effectively with 3 players. only 1 companion can be with them at any given time. you either keep that one with you to get to know them deeply, or keep switching out and get to know none of them more than shallowly

[@alysane6385]

@@ashleyjohnson9651 I think camp makes it possible. I never take wyll/laezel with me and I always have an ‘exceptional’ relationship with them just through camp interactions but I agree that you form a closer bond with the characters you travel with so it’s not ideal. Still very curious to see who they’re interested in👀

[@j.d.4697]

Tried to be heroes in the tutorial and failed so hard, and poor Eric had no idea wtf they were even trying to do. EDIT: SQUIRREL MURDERER!! SHAAAAMMMEEEE!

[@DyRokOficial]

Seeing so much love here is beautiful. God bless you all!

[@EslocoSoldado]

Just a heads up for you guys. If you are continuously getting bad rolls go into settings and turn off Karmic dice. The rolling Isn’t actually random unless you have that setting off, otherwise the game tries to balance the number of good and bag rolls.

[@rgractor]

But all dnd players know dice karma is real.

[@zoid_on_youtube]

having karmic dice on by default is such a weird choice, it doesnt feel like something that should ever be the "standard"

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

Calvin probably knows and turned it off earlier

[@Amber_Witch]

After the first goblin fight, Calvin mentioned making sure it was turned off so they know.

[@lavagurl0541]

I will say Im happy they’re focusing on Lae’zels story cause I spent a solid 3 hours wondering when they were finally gonna switch out shadowheart for like gale or something cause 2 clerics seemed a little redundant to me and it really seemed like they needed a good long-distance magic caster

[@xackwerley9184]

This is making me want to get back to playing. I did 30 hrs and was still in act 1 then stopped playing so I could play other games lol

[@DarksideGmss0513]

If that squirrel was a druid it would have just died in this animal form then reverted back to its druid form and be perfectly fine

[@CuidightheachODuinn]

"I feel like it shouldn't be l-a-g-h." Welcome to my language, Aaron. Have you ever seen an Irish word, then heard it, and thought "yeah that makes sense"? I would _love_ to hear you pronounce my name.

[@jincocuanco]

I really wanted to play this game but the game mechanics were just too challenging for me. It's a relief to see I'm not the only one who's having a hard time with the game.

[@ark804]

I AM ALMOST DONE WITH ACT 1(Maybe or still the Prologue). I CAN FINALLY BINGE THESE!!!!! WOOOO /o/ Edit: It's okay Eric. I was a bit confused when I started too! Except you had a better start than me. All I knew about DnD was from Critical Role, and never played a TTRPG. All I knew was that Magic Missiles and Fireball is good, because I keep hearing people reference those two attack, lol. So you'll get get, I somewhat am understanding the game better now. Since I do know somewhat is happening, it is a lot funner.

[@wisnuirawan88]

Make use of your Bane/Bless they're very good in combat for early game. Interacting with environment (breakable pillars/grease/exploding barrels) is also advantageous in this game

[@kezrah_shieldwall]

[@Vanished_Mostly]

A heads up: this isn't in the channel's BG3 playlist. It jumps from "Prelude" to Pt 2.

[@CulinVlau]

Withers coming out of the tomb didn't happen for me. Does it only happen if you go there before you take a long rest first? Or did Larian change things again?

[@GreatGreenLeo]

I love to watch you guys but honestly i hope that this series will get edited version that will be 10 times shorter or something like this 😅

[@joshua23_15]

How not great Eric is at video games makes this a hilarious watch

[@luvBB4lyf]

100% agree with Eric, that squirrel had it coming, I would’ve done the same. This was a cool play through! Love how you get to see different parts of the story depending on who’s playing.

[@CulinVlau]

Aaron and Calvin should've taken the time to give Eric some combat tutorial. The fights have been painful to watch.

[@jamesliggins891]

eric's player character is honestly really hot lol

[@blackshard641]

Chance with the natural one. What are the chances?

[@ark804]

Damn I wanna watch this, but I don't want to get spoil when I do start playing the game. :(

[@j.d.4697]

Honestly, I have over 500h in the game and I haven't finished it once. Most of that time was spent re-doing act 1 as various builds and later with various mods. Only new I feel happy with what I got, with various overhaul and QoL mods and playing as a Drakewarden. But how long is the peace gonna last, I wonder... I guess I don't want to finish the game either cause I don't know whether I will be able to find the motivation to replay it once I have seen the ending, or one of the endings.

[@Lukas-ht9xm]

Eric's enthusiasm is literally infectious. The less he paid attention, the less i cared.

[@nickrubin7312]

[@dragerdet]

Lmao

[@Crimsonwhocares]

I am about to finish the game and i can say that i have been disappointed most with the cleric class... healing is relatively weak in this game (compared to all other healing options you have in the game). I definitely recommend Eric not play a cleric as you wont get to do a lot in a turn. The guys who get to do a lot of things tend to be the melee characters.

[@nickrubin7312]

Healing is relatively weak in 5e in general. Killing is better than healing, that is the general idea. Cleric is either support or just main heavy caster. Also, Cleric is often misunderstood, especially by new players, as a "healer". Understandable mistake, just as the idea that you need a healer in general. Cleric is amazing as Tempest (which Eric plays) or Light, it is basically caster in heavy armor. Also, cleric owns act2 with Spirit Guardians and all that juicy radiant damage. The only healing you need is healing word and mass healing word, supported by some itemization as well. But Eric plays Tempest as fighter, so... War Domain is also interesting as well.

[@chaost4544]

Cleric is also a bit redundant with Shadowheart being a companion. That said, Cleric should be the choice for the hireling companion from Withers because of the helpful buffs the class gives players. Buffs like Aid are extremely powerful as the players level up.
