CohhCarnage Plays Baldur's Gate III (Human Bard)(Sponsored By Larian Studios) - Episode 1

[@CohhCarnage]

Hey all! 🎉 First of all, thanks for watching. I've been waiting for this game for decades and this has been an absolutely incredible experience so far. Appreciate your time in watching these! Also, going to say this straight up: I AM A SAVE SCUMMER. I have great fun in exploring different outcomes, reloading to make rolls I'd like to, reloading to do fights differently mid-fight, etc. This is how I have fun and enjoy the game. If this is not for you, THIS IS NOT A PLAYTHROUGH FOR YOU! Find another runner or do it yourself without save scumming but please understand, this is how I choose to enjoy my experience and I love it. Don't bother commenting if you don't understand it or don't like it, we all have fun in different ways. You do it your way, I'll do it mine and we can all enjoy BG3 in our own way. Anyway, enjoy the run and thanks again! 😁

[@Sochack]

I'm so excited to go through this with you Cohh and everyone in chat!!! Also looking forwards to the smiley cohhs on the naughty bitszzz LOL

[@Jusssssssssssssssss]

That is the reason why i love watching your playthrough

[@dannyboylan5926]

Cohh. You are my teacher for these games. Hardest difficulty. Save scum. 100s of hours for a single playthrough. So fun! Thanks big dog.

[@90bubbel60]

hey i was wondering, is there any way for us to still see your vods on twitch? i would love to be able to see chat aswell

[@TheNDofUO]

I'm glad you put this disclaimer. I'll still watch but now I'm emotionally prepared for it

[@diets_]

“It turns out when you have 58,000 people try to backseat you for D&D 5e that opinions differ.” lolol I can’t wait to watch this series!! Congrats man!

[@Azhalan]

You know you've made it if you're not only able to play this game early but your voice is also featured in it and you're getting PAID to play it on top of that 🤗

[@CohhCarnage]

The actual dream. 🎉

[@dannyboylan5926]

​@@CohhCarnageyou're the best Cohh and deserve it. A good man and inspiration. I don't say that often man. But thanks for keeping my mind occupied and more.

[@stealthkillah122]

His voice is in the game ?

[@Einomar]

​@stealthkillah122 He voices Naaber in act 3.

[@OzyWazza]

That "WOOOOOWWWWW!" at the beginning when Lae'Zel has a slight eyesore - person deserves many a cheer for giving me much cheer 😂

[@lily_evildm2317]

That was so perfectly timed xD

[@OzyWazza]

@@lily_evildm2317 Indeedy! 😄

[@yuyu19971]

So hyped for this man cohh is the best expecting another 300 video series lets go

[@KingQuatto]

This is likely to be 3000 it’s much bigger then divinity

[@Raispira]

my guess is around 470

[@captain4318]

Not even 10 days later, series is up to 174 episodes lol

[@TheNDofUO]

​@@captain4318Holy shit

[@Cosmotium]

292 you were close enough 😂

[@stephencnunez]

The blood feud between the utterly evil (but understandable) githyanki and the utterly evil (but inscrutable) Illithid is one of my favorite pieces of D&D lore.

[@tntart4897]

... I'm sorry, but am I the ONLY ONE who's noticing how Cohh's character looks like bearded Prince Charming from Shrek?? lmao. It's amazing and now I just imagine poor Charming being yeeted to the B3 universe, getting kidnapped by ugly Squidward, then deciding to pursue a career as a handsome musician. Anyway, can't wait to binge this series.

[@SilentSooYun]

Larian being Larian, even their EULA has some epic moments

[@stronkq]

LIRIK while creating his character: "Imagine having all these races and then playing human..." I guess theres your answer Cohh

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Ten years ago I started really getting into the genre and was saddened that it was effectively dead than came the revival and it was, and still is since its still going, great but even then and still now I never ever expected a CRPG would effectively get the AAA treatment in terms of scope and budget. The fact that not only does this even exist but there's a possibility, albeit slim, that this game could effectively bring the genre to new heights never before seen is... just wow- insert Huell Howser gif-

[@ahmedlateef8669]

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is another good CRPG that is worth checking out.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

@@ahmedlateef8669 Indeed it is.

[@dominika3762]

I would also say Solasta has some issues but is generally good

[@ProperlyGaming]

Ik around 2016 with all the success and new players coming to dnd due to live play streamers that we would get another. I wasnt sure who would make it or if it would be anywhere near as good as the first 2 games, but ik we would inevitably get something with all the popularity around it.

[@dakdakgoos]

literally so excited for this series! Fell in love with your content through the dos2 playthroughs! Youre like one of the rare streamers of this type of game that arent assholes. Thanks for playing games with love, man

[@jimothyharrison6853]

2:43 fantastically timed 😂😂😂

[@MultiLitch]

Thank you so much for making these available on youtube. I love watching you play games like these.

[@wepri679]

It begins and I'm so here for it!

[@grynnreaper6266]

Love seeing Cohh's eyes sparkle when he finally gets to play a game he's been anticipating

[@paxconsciente3352]

especially when its actually super good

[@loriebug8234]

I can never catch you live but I'm so glad you upload to youtube. Even if I get through the videos so so slowly, it always is a enjoy to sit down and watch your videos. I can't wait to see this play through. :)

[@terakahn]

Never thought I'd be watching this before playing it but here we are. Excited to take this journey with you Cohh. I've also been waiting 20 years for it. I played the shit out of BG2 in high school and honestly NEVER thought we'd get another one.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

3:33 Holy shit Cohh isn't going Ranger!?!?!

[@sickboy481]

He made a pact with chat that his 1st char wouldn't be ranged.

[@RunicRaven2022]

This is the earliest I have ever been to a video ever. Can't wait to watch you play this game!

[@curtisberg3028]

The intro is so dnd “you’ve been abducted by mindflayers who gave you a parasite. Describe your character”

[@pluxauag7555]

Video is just starting so my comment before watching is this is not my style of RPG (Been playing RPGs since Master System/Amiga Atari ST days) so I am looking forward to seeing how this plays and the control method, strategy of play. Always enjoy your playthroughs. This is a great game by the way, care and attention looks obvious. Back to the vid and playthrough.

[@dannyboylan5926]

Man this brings me back to watching all his DOS2 videos. This is gonna be sooo good! Can't wait to play it myself through GeForce Now!

[@H4licarnassus]

Get home from work the day of BG3 release and Cohh already has an 18 video playlist on it. Let's go.

[@WDGaming010]

So looking forward to this series.👍

[@cdon796]

You get a like just for the beginning scream 😂

[@FallenChocoCookie]

I’m watching this now after playing almost 600 hours myself. This game is a masterpiece ❤ and I still adore the intro cutscene! 🥰

[@Helix_22]

For those saying not to start with an odd number in a stat is wrong, or that its a waste and does nothing is wrong. I'm a new player to DnD and thankfully AI can cut through all the crap and give me pretty clear answers. "Starting with a 17 in a stat in 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons can be advantageous for a few reasons. First, it allows you to have a significant bonus in that particular stat, enhancing your abilities and skills related to it. Secondly, it opens up the possibility of reaching a score of 20 through later level increases or magical items, giving you access to even greater bonuses. Additionally, having a high stat can provide your character with additional opportunities for success in certain situations, such as saving throws or skill checks. Overall, starting with a 17 in a stat can give your character a solid foundation for success and growth in the game." Anyone who is a pro DnD 5e player disagree with this notion?

[@mayonaise8089]

I mean there's no real reason to have an uneven stat if you can make it even but it isn't necessarily bad cause you can even it out with half feats

[@E2O10]

The point that they were likely making was that the bonus you get to ability checks increased on even numbers - 16 str means you have +3 to strength checks, 17 str means you still have +3. So the idea is to get as many even numbers for stats as you can. But getting uneven is fine if you know you're gonna get ability improvement and increase it to 18 for sure anyway - it's easy to get +1 extra stat point, +2 is a bit tougher etc.

[@adamlfa4546]

Music making me think of Chris Farley’ van down by the river.

[@stats3579]

Hyped for this playthrough

[@ruvindap66]

WE DOWN BY THE RIVER NOW BOYS.

[@Joy4everM0RE]

“I don’t think I’m sexy enough for the Mercer” 🤣

[@DakotaSG]

"INT determines your skill points when you level." Did that person in chat think this was Skyrim or what?

[@joncoish]

I personally don’t have any interest in playing this myself, but I’m going to watch the hell out of Cohh playing it!

[@Syceth]

it what i usually always do, is watch cohh play. BUT i will say, i wish he would be a bad guy instead of always good in his playthroughs hehe.

[@firstya9994]

Idk why you wouldn't have interest in playing this

[@servintrix]

I wonder how many different vicious mockery there are and if they play on a loop or if there are different ones for different enemies and situations

[@jimb.598]

11:47 Cohh, feather fall is a must. You and gravity are not the best of friends.

[@tripsix263]

more like mortal enemies

[@Ye_Steban]

Just re-wanted your fallout 4 play through, ready for this journey to begin.

So happy they used the wilhelm scream lol

[@winterrrw]

[@SergioAzamuth]

Told myself I was NOT going to play Bard, but seeing the dialogue options and how much fun Cohh was having I had to. No regrets.

[@SergioAzamuth]

Only thing I did different was one level in Rogue for extra proficiencies and expertise xD

I've missed watching you play - and the save scumming rig from the get go 😂

So hyped for this :D

[@marijhorn]

Thank you Cohh, I was able to finish my PhD. during your character creation, and still enjoyed to listen to that. ,-)

[@CasasPlays]

Beyond excited to return to this game. I’m traveling at the moment but glad I got to see parts of the stream today to keep me busy until I’m able to get back to playing it!

[@gzzuss]

I am already shining my helmet for September when I get this on Playstation

[@krzysztofpaszkiewicz1274]

Can anyone recommend a playthrough where the streamer/youtuber played the game previously?

[@derekyan8968]

Naughty Cohh Bits 😂😂😂

[@NonExclusive6669]

Know how to get max bardic inspiration? Is it by lvl / charisma ? / both

2:45 Wow indeed

[@n.henzler50]

In this episode: Cohh learns about a process known as ceremorphosis. (It is to be avoided)

[@JSandwich13]

I wont watch too much of it mysekf until i play it and thays not until september 😢 but i cant wait to binge this playlist later

[@tylershea9770]

I like your humor funny man

[@Troglodyte]

I'm trying to figure out if he was actually trying to make Chris Pine, because accidentally making a bard Chris Pine is wild.

[@SaaltyBravo]

Your guardian ended up looking almost identical to my Half Elf Fighter/Soldier.

[@Pao_Pao_1]

Clicked this since i didnt watch on twitch, stayed for the cat. 😂

[@lordvader4089]

Was there a demo of this at one point or something because i swear ive seen this before.

[@revdylan]

Apologies for the late response but this game was in early access for a few years before finally releasing.

[@TheUnfortunateTraitor038]

Where is he streaming at? I can't find any Baldur's Gate stream on Twitch

[@wheelchazeal8089]

I just want to sit in the character creation and listen to the music!

[@SinWolf93]

See you guys on video 853

His character looks like Prince Charming from Shrek😂

[@KeytarArgonian]

I made a Human Bard too, called him Burdock. I won’t lie, my Guardian was this Huge 7ft tall Beautiful Platinum blonde mommy with thighs as wide as my torso and arms like Pythons. Good times had by all.

[@Kenjuudo]

I have no idea why I hadn't subbed to you yet. Well, now I have.

[@hectamus_]

Are you playing with Karmic Dice on?

[@501Hasie]

After level 5 in Paladin I think I want to take 1or 2 lvls of Bard

[@BKPrice]

Your guardian looks like an elven Cersei Lannister.

[@maxharz3914]

Cohh just went with a himbo bard here i see

[@scanti2]

Cohh skips section 5 of the T&C's which is about making pacts with Eldridge forces.

[@sokijininvertus8724]

Dude, 2 weeks and you already got like 100+ episodes of this xD?

[@RafalBorowski]

Cohh: Do I need Int? I kinda want more Wisdom.... Can I lower.... (...) Me: Dude.... it doesn't matter if you have 16 (+3) or 8 (-1) as you're going to scum save every single roll till success so it doesn't matter.
