First time in Character Creation - Baldur's Gate 3 [Ep0]

[@HelloItsKolo]

How long did YOU spend in character creation? Also... Is this what you thought I'd end up playing? 👀

[@KU84SH33]

I was playing with a friend, and spend like an hour. If I were to play alone? Probably 3 hours minimum 😅

[@SilveryRow]

Druid was my second guess but never thought halfling. Tbf this was the first stream/video of yours that I've seen ;) I think I took about half an hour in character creation the first two times, then half that the most recent time. Thanks for uploading!

[@patraic5241]

It wasn't until my third restart that I really got a hang of all the ins and outs of the character generation.

[@HelloItsKolo]

@KU84SH33 this is what so many people have said as well!! It's made me wonder if friends are speed running without knowing the other person also wants to take 3 hours!

[@CyanSpyder]

Longest single creation session for a single character (about 2 hours) or total combined character creations for my multiple characters and re-rolls (way too long.. I have nearly 650 hours in this game, and am still playing a year after release...and still finding new things I've not experienced before)

[@hunacean]

Spending a small age on character creation just to be hit with yet another character creation is one of the greatest unintentionally funy momments in this game.

[@HelloItsKolo]

I was so ready to start 😂

[@Danceofmasks]

"Who are you?" Yeah, that's the tadpole talking to you. Don't think about it too much.

[@JoshSweetvale]

To go full J.K. Simmons: Do not think about the Tadpole! Dwelling on it will make it mind-control you faster! :D

[@saiconjr]

I love how BG3 gives everyone so many different options in deciding how to setup their own avatar. There definitely could be room for some more options I imagine but this is definitely a game that is well deserved of the many awards it received. I can't wait to follow your progress through playing and hope you get to find all the little things.

[@HelloItsKolo]

Welcome, it's so lovely to have you here! Ps happy birthday month!!!

[@lordvanazir1007]

i read this title when i first saw it as Character creation baldurs gate episode 3 thinking that Kolo spent 3 episodes on character creation alone XD

[@HelloItsKolo]

Honestly I'm surprised I didn't spend 3 hours in character creation LMAO

[@Dunybrook]

So glad you posed episode 0. Character creation is the best part. I've made dozens of alts but never gottten close to finishibng the game.

[@Xenobears]

Sees title is about character creation. Also sees the 3 hour run time. Sounds about right.

[@homebrewedthoughts2033]

I keep seeing people say stuff like that but in never takes me more than 45 min

[@DaniBoBani09]

I love your videos Kolo!! Super excited for your first BG3 playthrough. Edit: I’ve spent hours in character creation but I have about 9 profiles running currently. I’ve never played as halfling but after watching your creation I am inspired to create my own.

[@HelloItsKolo]

Nine! Wowee! Oh yay I hope you enjoy playing as a Halfling!

[@jmpar4]

You probably figured it out, but the fish pics are because a lot of men dont take pics of themselves. But they will rake a pic of they caught a decent fish. So a lot of the times the only recent picture they have of themselves is from the time they caught that fish. And a fish pic feels more honest and real than a selfie.

[@collectorsalmanac]

Druid? Check. Ginger? Check. Talk With Animals? YOU BETCHA

[@HelloItsKolo]

Realising that it's possible to TALK TO ANIMALS is absolutely a selling point for me haha! I was like "OH I'M IN" 😂

[@mistymane52]

This was my checklist when making my character too even tho I’m not Ginger, 😂 I always make my characters ginger cause the hair color is so beautiful! Thinking of dying my hair :P

[@JoshSweetvale]

Is she Kagha? :v But no, I got Speak with Animals at start too. Eventually had Withers respec me out of it; I could just use potions.

[@paulfedorenko2301]

I can honestly say that it's not, in fact,. going in their ear.

[@HelloItsKolo]

Honestly I think I'd prefer it in my ear 😂

[@dreadpenguinlord340]

Well... it didn't go in her ear. You got your wish!

[@HelloItsKolo]

I think what actually happened was worse 😭😭

[@sveinmyrvang9410]

And she didn't want to go through a belly button, and it wasn't a belly button. This game is pure wish fulfillment, innit?

[@sweetboitoshio]

Clicked this video on a whim and you are just so lovely I could cry. 😭 good luck on your campaign Kolo!

[@HelloItsKolo]

hi! Welcome! So good to have you with us !

[@gatetohell9260]

Ok so i started playing Baldur state a few weeks ago as well and I’m obsessed!! Such a cool game, will be watching your videos too! Always nice to see someone else experiencing a great game for the first time

[@HelloItsKolo]

I'm obsessed too!! Idk if you use Twitch but I'm playing it live every Weds and Thursday on my twitch channel if you wanna come hang out there!

[@OhThatRobin]

Yay!! This was such a fun time, I love all your insights in this game so far ^^ (also good timing I just caught up on the twitch vods and omg my *emotions!!* but that’s all I’ll say because spoilers for anyone just catching this episode.)

[@HelloItsKolo]

My emotions too! Omg I am loving this game so much, I'm so grateful it was so relentlessly suggested! Haha! Also hii!! Thanks so much for coming over to Twitch and thanks for the comment here too and for being along on this journey with me. AND WHAT A JOURNEY IT IS!

[@OhThatRobin]

@@HelloItsKolo Hii! You’re so welcome! It’s been such a great time and it’s gonna be such a fun journey to go along with! 🥳🥳🥳

[@TelochFIN]

I do appreciate you deciding to upload this. As much as I love watching people play the game, it's equally fun to see the reasoning behind all the choices that made up their character. Reactions to stuff like "speak with animals" are a big, juicy cherry on top.

[@HelloItsKolo]

I was so so excited to see I could do that, and honestly it's absolutely been the game maker for me! I can talk to animals! ahhh!!

[@DarksideGmss0513]

Fun fact about D&D the quintessential D&D party (Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, Rouge) it's actually inspired by The Golden Girls.

[@philurbaniak1811]

I'm so excited for this 😃!

[@imrejk]

Such a joy to be watching your playthrough! I used to hang out on streams all the time a few years ago, so it so much fun to see you pop up on my screen again! I absolutely love BG3, and you have a really different playstyle compared to me, so I'm really looking forward to reliving the game from your perspective!

[@this.is.a.username]

yay MORE Kolo! Fun fact, I had 250hours in Early Access for about 1.5-2 yrs before BG3 released... I've played BG3 since release day, and I still have not finished it. I have so many different runs I'm playing, and they're all slowly heading for the finish line. My favorite is my SOLO 4 player-character githyanki playthrough. They've taken Lae'zel under their wing and have slaughtered all the ishtiks around.

[@mike_WolfyBootsBoi]

Yes! Character gingeration!

[@bcrazy223]

“Why do I feel like that thing will eat my brain or take my memory?” Oh boy, are you in for a treat

[@HelloItsKolo]

I'm now about 80 hours in and near the end of act 1... SUCH A TREAT!!

[@KurtisDawn]

Love you, your style, the content you create ! I discovered you playing Elite Dangerous back in the day on twitch, and now you play my New favorite game. Thank you ! 🤩

[@sveinmyrvang9410]

I broke down and watched this on Twitch, but will watch it here in full anyway and leave a comment to drive engagement. I feel I need to make up for threatening to riot because you skipped character creation in Ep1. Also, Kolo and BG3 together makes extremely watchable content.

[@HelloItsKolo]

It's been so so lovely to meet you in streams, thank you for coming with me on this wild ride ❤️

[@murphy_artz9326]

you are very enteratining and funny. eager to see more of your vods.

[@HelloItsKolo]

Welcome!! There's already another 2 episodes on twitch to watch if you've finished the two here! ❤️

[@gabriellbraga7732]

aww RIP good brain boy

[@sparemobius7430]

11:00 yep you can play as any of the main characters, Dark Urge btw you can play and customize to be whatever you want, it gives you new options that can be fun for an evil run or trying to resist it and being a good dark urge, should you ever decide to do another run after this one. Enjoy BG3, it is a lot of fun.

Party-Snacks is the BEST nickname I've ever heard for Paarthurnax!

Synesthesia? That's cool!! Myself I am Dyspraxic, colourblind, and as I found out age 43, inattentive ADHD, and Austistic. I read ago one test for synesthesia is to have a board of numbers with one flipped the wrong way round. For everyone else they scan the board looking, for the syenestesiac, the flipped number stands out as a blot of purple in a field of yellow* (*ymmv). Fascinating how much our senses can differ. I struggle to tell colours apart, your world is more coloured! That's fantastic!

[@nunpho]

Ayyy, I never found out that I was autistic and have inattentive ADHD until my mid 30s. It's always interesting seeing how many others get a late diagnosis

[@kurthl33t]

New wheelchair HYPE!!

Dont worry they are not putting it in the ear.

If you're curious if anyone has clipped and made a gif of your reaction to the eyeball bit, yes. The answer is most certainly yes. 😂😂

WoW actually took a lot of stuff from DnD, not the other way around. DnD came out just only 30 years before WoW.

It makes so much sense that they're linked by inspiration - I'm noticing SO many commonalities and it is so nice how familiar yet different this feels!

[@anonymous-bb2dw]

are you ever going to finish mass effect? I just found out your channel and I'm bummed to see you only played the first game 😞

[@moozipan]

Kolo played the entirety of Mass Effect 1-3 and you can find the playlists for 2 and 3 on Twitch, if you follow the links in the description of this or the Mass Effect videos.

[@majinstrings]

Been wanting to try this game but it's never on sale...and if it is, it's only a few dollars off...

[@HelloItsKolo]

Honestly, it's worth it. I know it's steep but omg this game is huge, and a masterpiece.

[@mrsophayofsoup]

Wait a minute - around 2:05:00... did a sub get gifted to Amelia Tyler aka the narrator of the game WHILE the narrator was speaking??? (Or at least an account of the same name) 😂😂😂

[@HelloItsKolo]

Yes! That was indeed the account of Amelia Tyler that was gifted a sub...while she was speaking!

[@kuro_neko5863]

[@UncleMilo]

Hi there! I usually spend at least an hour, if not more, on character creation. I have to ask if you have played any of the Life is Strange series.... I have a feeling you would be AMAZING with a reaction to that game!

[@nunpho]

Ah that's such a good series. Haven't seen all the games though

[@PMux79]

You mean you didn’t accidentally skip character creation and kept it to less than 4 hours? Who are you?

[@HelloItsKolo]

Pahahaha what can I say... The Kolo way goes without saying 🫡🚗

2:26:00 Is this the average ginger daily experience?

[@HelloItsKolo]

I clicked the timestamp and i still have no idea what you're asking me!

[@arsewynd]

Why do people read all the origin characters info, pretty much removes all the surprises like Astarion being a vampire. This spoiler info should have been labeled so players who didn't want to see it could avoid it.

[@HelloItsKolo]

I read it cause I thought it was important to know, I didn't realise how much of a spoiler it would be and I 100% agree that it should be labelled so new players can avoid it!

[@Danceofmasks]

"I can speak with animals" needs to be turned into a short or clip or something.
