Baldur's Gate 3 REACTION - why is it so smoochy?? - trailers, carbot animation, honest game trailer

[@JDMC13]

"Is this a sexy game?" This is THE sexy game. The developers had to release a patch to make certain characters less horny for you.

[@a.cameron207]

I did wonder why half my party was trying to bang me when all I did was not be mean to them.

[@AlanXEverfrost]

To be fair, they did say it wasn't designed to be that quick. It was supposed to be more gradual, but they had programmed the gates too low (possibly because they found that the characters disagreeing felt too disapointing, making the players stop playing as they wanted and would focus too much on just choosing the decisions the party members prefer). So the patch was just making the scenes spaced out as they were supposed to be. But yeah, it's still gloriously sexy.

[@nickv1212]

@@AlanXEverfrost Yeah. And the game's all about player freedom. If the player wants to get busy with a bear and Cthulhu in the same playthrough, that's on them. Just like DND. Though a non-freak DM would cut the sexy role play short when the players fail a dex save, causing the flimsy bed stand to fall apart, leading to however many party members are taking part to fall and break "bones". They fucked around and found out.

I mean, I wish just friendship was an option. I feel like I might accidentally smash the wrong one.

Almost 250 hours and I finally made it to act 3 for the first time today. I'm so proud of myself for having made it this far.🥲

​​@@Drako2k0I left Act 1 after precisely 101 STEAM hours after stealing everything that wasn't nailed to the ground, and doing all possible fights minus the Mud Mephits, while playing with an old PC, HDD, reloading all the time at snail speed. What could possibly justify 200 hours? Checking your entire character sheet at every combat round?

[@coffeeholder]

The longest I spent on a single playthrough was 75 hours, oh my god. How did y'all stick around so long?

[@shibernyan2009]

@@coffeeholder 100+ hours for act 1 alone....if you've finished the game in less time than that you've probably missed ALLOT. But I'm definitely the type to loot everything and search every nook and cranny of the map. But still, I kept finding new (somewhat hidden) areas all the time.

[@ZoeBateman]

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the best dating sim game disguised as the best RPG I’ve ever played, it is beyond incredible. Since launch I’ve played a disgusting, almost embarrassing amount of hours in-game and yet none of them have been wasted, in each playthrough and new character I’ve made I’m still finding new things, even new areas I missed previously, completely new interactions that make the game so fun to play because there’s endless ways to play it to make it fun. It’s an easy GOTY (game of the year) winner for me, and it may even be my personal favourite game of the last decade

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

LOL dating sim game

​@@HannaHsOverInvested that legitimately is a genre of video games. Some are pure fun teenage dramas, some are pretty much just porn. Most look like anime and play through dialogue boxes and time management mechanics

[@DanielTesch-zg2fu]

I have watched you grow into a gamer since forever. As a writer I think you are gonna enjoy this game a lot, it is one of the best writing in games I have ever experienced. Dont let the complexity turn you of it, since it is all turnbased you will have time to get used to it. Hope you give this game a try!

[@OneMediocreGamer]

couldn't agree more, I really hope HannaH sees this!

[@marmichaud]

indeed; quite a feat. The writing support the emergent narrative in so many ways. Never before seen.

[@Stickarms99]

you can also just change the difficulty if it's kicking your ass and you just want a story lol

[@_inSight__]

This is a turn-based game, which means all the characters you control and all the enemies wait for one character to go at a time. The comedy in that cartoon skit was funny because you can basically spend half an hour debating your choices while all the other characters just sit there waiting, and even after you figure out what you want, it can still fail, like how that dwarf missed hitting that bat.

[@Dyerdon]

And in D&D, which Baldur's Gate uses it's mechanics for, if you try to move out of an enemy's threat radius (usually passing within five feet of them) the enemies you pass get an attack of opportunity against you. The rogue dashed, meaning she got to travel at double her movement speed. She decided to sprint past all of the enemies, meaning they ALL got to attack her for free!

[@miguelortiz8350]

Me and my bestie got to a surprisingly difficult fight with a sertain collector we where not ready for and it went exactly like that

[@rayclay3249]

I think games like these will overwhelm her

[@decayeddivinity9916]

I honestly think you would love this game. It very much is a write your own adventure based on what you choose to do. There are characters that you can save out of the goodness of your heart, extort them, kill them, or leave them be. All can cause separate storylines to open up. Also, as for the romance, you can romance almost all of the main characters, keep them as friends, or anywhere in between.

[@ChaoticNeutralDude]

the two funniest Baldur's Gate 3 vids I've seen is "4 Halfling Barbarians" by Okoii, and "Playing Baldur's Gate 3 like it’s Hitman" by Marco Yolo , those are strong recommends from me.

[@Axetwin]

So the animated video, the two things that stand out there are this. Since the game is turn based the joke there is the Barbarian runs up to the imp then everyone is waiting around for him to explore all his different options before he finally decides on a basic attack (only for it to miss). The second part was the Rogue that was trying to run past all the imps. There's a rule that if you are in physical striking distance of a target, if you try to leave that area of attack, that target get a free attack on you, it's called an attack of opportunity (and yes it works to your advantage too). Which is why not only did the Rogue get hit by all the imps, but the Wizard and Barbarian when they tried to run away from the two big demons running towards them.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

This is extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@MBNHedger]

I wont knock the franchise mixing because we have come a long way with Hannah just knowing who slaanesh is and what they do...

[@Ixaglet]

Carbot animations are really made more for people who have played the game. So, once you've played the first hour of Baldur's Gate 3, every second of this will make tons of sense and be much funnier

[@cdnxman1326]

The devs hired a different animator, Mashed, to do two animations, with the actual voice actors from the game, one involving an infamous encounter in early access, with the most dangerous enemy in the game, and another about the transition from early access to launch

[@ZackSparks]

A game with infinite options and plenty of ways to go about dialogue can end up kissing the feet of goblins and telling the other goblins whether you enjoyed it or not, convincing bosses to kill themselves before you even realize they're bosses, and choosing whether to have sex with a big buff elf man in his humanoid or bear form... it's the perfect game

[@david_os1010]

Oh man Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the greatest RPG's ever. Its so fun to play, it does ease/lure you into it slowly so you won't even notice it until its to late and you just noticed that the sun is coming up and you are still playing. Oh also J.K. Simmons plays one of the main baddies of the game (General Ketheric Thorm) and his performance is amazing! Very different then Cave Johnson. Actually all the villains are great and have cool behind the scenes videos!

[@Atomsk20]

BG3 is worth multiple play throughs due to thousands of different endings all depending on the choices you make while playing and all the crazy stuff that happens because of random acts...I even got sent to jail for stealing a wheel of cheese

[@CertifiedSunset]

Thousands of endings?

[@marmichaud]

@@CertifiedSunset well, it's something like 4 big ending with 17,000 variation based on all the quest and choice you have made

[@firestorm1088]

So a little bit of lore: The squid face guys are Mind Flayers (also called Illithids), some of the main antagonists of the game. They are a very Lovecraft inspired race of telepathic monsters who reproduce by implanting their tadpole larvae into people’s brains so the larvae can take them over and turn them into Mind Flayers. The “weird girl” you mentioned is a Githyanki, her race were enslaved by the Mind Flayers for a long time before they rebelled and won their freedom and they still HATE the Mind Flayers. The little hamster was a teaser for two of the most popular characters in the franchise, Minsc, a crazy ranger kind of like a dungeons and dragons version of Deadpool, and his animal companion Boo, a “miniature giant space hamster.”

[@sarahscott5305]

With all the greatest respect in the world... you are looking STUNNING! 🤩

[@CaptainAmercia]

There was actually a bug in the game that made everyone extra Attracted to you and basically forced you into flirty chats without you even going in that direction, basically imagine one day everyone in your life started being super horny towards you, this was how the game was in the first few weeks. So it just came off as a very horny game by default which wasn't the case. Alot of this stuff you can skip or not head towards if you're like me and find sex scenes extremally awful and awkward in video games, awkward animations and the camera trying to hide the parts just make everything look like two dolls going at it lol But as a whole the game is very good just wish more people online in the more mainstream community actually talked more about stuff beyond the sex scenes and romance. Kind of annoying seeing these two aspects being the only things you see when looing up Baldur's Gate 3 in youtube videos, Twitch etc. I love the Game of Thrones but it would be like everyone talking about the sex scenes and you're like "Yeah but what about everything else" lol Edit: Why do actual animated porn videos have better animations and edits than video game sex scenes.... I don't get that but there still so very awkward in Baldur's Gate 3.

[@WildWolfGod]

I've been using Tumblr (Yes, cringe I know) and there may be a lot of shipping talk there but there's a good anount of just fan stuff and character analysis there too. Probably the only reason I use Tumblr still since it literally CAN'T be swamped with nsfw art so it doesn't clog up fandom stuff.

[@WhoTnT]

My tastes in games seem similar to yours but I recently started playing Divinity Original Sin and I'm hooked on it for now. That game is similar to Baldur's Gate and even though the inventory and skills management can get tedious and annoying, I'm still addicted to it. You might want to try out these types of games at least for a couple hours to know if it is something you will like especially since it is more slow paced than stuff like Doom and God of War.

[@sxympathy966]

This project by Larian Studios is a true labor of love, no micro transactions or DLC that you need to download it’s already a complete package. It has super high replay value with many different classes and races to experiment with, top quality voice acted companions with captivating personalities and intriguing back stories, side content that is meaningful and has many wonderful npcs to interact with. Choices truly do matter in this game and the way the world and its inhabitants react to the player is perfect 😂 Anybody that has killed a companion then brought them back to life or has done something to spark a class specific cutscene *cough* paladin *cough* will understand!

[@wwklnd]

Would definitely love seeing you react to the review + GF review! I genuinely loved playing this game. It shot into my top 3 most impressively written games of all time, both because it's really well written and because there's just *so goddamn much of it*, and every single thing you think of is somehow accounted for. Also, my favourite part of it was playing dress-up by stealing every outfit I could find around the entire world.

Carbot animation is amazing. I laughed so much with their Elden Ring ones, and I'm so happy they're doing bg3.

[@sezerturlu]

This is a Turn Based game. Which means in combat everyone take turns to do whatever is gonna do including you. You can take as much time as you want on your turn. It is a really good game for you actually, you don't need reflexes, game let you do nearly anything your heart desire. You can be bad guy, good guy, funny guy, low intelligent guy. It is really good. I think you should try

[@Yawgrimas]

I'm so happy you have found Carbot now, he has so many hours of great animations XD. A lot are gaming injokes sadly - but they're so great :).

[@DutchAngel15]

Best thing aboout the game is the cast, because they really love the game. They've started a D&D campaign together recently. Jennifer English (Shadowheart's VA) and Devora Wilde (Lae'zel's VA) are hilarious. Jennifer also plays the game with her girlfriend (who she met while working on this game, she was her voice director) which is also great.

[@Exvaris]

Hannah I've been a fan of the channel for years and I need to stop lurking to pop into your comments section (5 months too late) to say that Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece. It is addictive from both a gameplay and narrative perspective. As a writer I have every bit of confidence you will really enjoy it. Hope to see some Baldur's Gate content from you at some point in the future!

[@davidwalker1781]

You know, as complicated as it looks, BG3 is a perfect game for a new gamer because there Is no pressure on you at all gameplay-wise. You make it as complicated or noncomplicated as you want, and you can take as much time as you want or take it as slow or fast as you want. And as a writer, this DnD style game might be such a creative treat for you because you really make your own story out of it.

[@TheNaznine]

The replay ability of this game is huge. and the story is everything that keeps you hooked in the game. As a writer i would think you would love it.

Worst part of the honest trailers was that all they had to do was press the little "+" icon on the right at the end of the row at the bottom to add another layer so you don't have to keep scrolling for your spells

[@magus104]

I think theres 2 reasons letsplays have become so popular. 1 for people who want to vicariously relive an experience and 2 for someone who wants to experience the story but wouldnt like or couldnt handle the gameplay themselves but arent opposed to seeing others struggle through. So yea that being said with the nature of baldurs gate3 you can see things play out drastically different on many play throughs though the main story obviously is what is. I dont know how many characters we meet along the way that are actually important to the story though since it seems like almost anyone can die and the story will keep going.

[@MeridianSon]

14:35 the character creating part of these games always takes up the most time for me, so no shaming here! And yes, apparently you can choose to circumcise your wood elf! (I wonder if there's a Ken doll option...)

[@marciliojunior9599]

the transition at the start was *Chef kiss*

It's actually harder to just be friends than it is to NOT have everyone wanting your arse, you can end up having people saying they love your very smell and trusting you with their lives and heart in act one, before a night even passes. Past that, it's very well put together, I was fearing it would just be divinity sin 2.5 but it somehow slides over that.

best part of BG3 is that you CANT play it wrong way. Not because it will force you, but because ammount of freedom and options is on some CRAZY level. So, naturally, its really good for someone who never played before (not only in that kind of rpg but games at all)

[@Psynister_PBP]

The Attack you never use on your ice mephits is their best attack. You want to target an enemy, not an area, it often does low teens for damage, but it also has a chance to knock the target Prone and it puts down an ice patch that people can slip on.

[@ravenward626]

@08:05 If you were to give it a chance, then I would recommend making story mode your first experience. Then there is little pressure to optimize any of that complexity, and you can pick some of it up by osmosis as you go along. In a sense I'm recommending that should you chose to try a crpg game, it might be useful to treat that entire first play through as a tutorial of sorts.

Yes, this is an advanced game with lots of options and stuff, but one thing it is _not_ is stressful in the same way as God of War.

It also didn't help that some of the dialogue options that were considered to be flirting could also be easily read as just trying to be friendly, which is sadly an experience you are probably all too familiar with as a woman since many guys in the real world will think of any friendly interaction with a woman as being flirting...

What you're describing in the beginning is a process known as ceremorphosis, and let me assure you: it is to be avoided!

[@Dreznin]

I have a feeling that you'd probably really love this game for its narrative depth and the pacing that lets you take as much time as you need for anything you want to do. It's true that there's a lot of systems in the game and lots of customization that can be done, but you can choose to play as one of the premade characters that would otherwise join your party instead of making your own custom character. By the time you have to make any decisions, you'll understand the basics well enough to make an informed choice. The game is extremely long though, not something you'd likely want to stream, but definitely something I'm confident you'd enjoy on your own time.

[@shamelessfartman89]

You'd be perfect for a tabletop role-playing game.

[@rethix5955]

The carbot animation of the game, is hilariously accurate. Also everyone in the game is thirsty to the point where you need to use a proverbial spray bottle to fend them off.

You should watch Baldur's Gate 3 companion named Karlach. That big red devilish looking woman (aka Devil May Thighs). You can have her in your party or play as her. She is huge ass warrior with hell's engine inside her chest which makes her constantly burn hot. Her former boss sold her to Hell as a devil's prize warrior.

[@El_Rey_247]

It's "just" a session of a tabletop roleplaying game (based on Dungeons & Dragons) where the computer plays the role of the Dungeon Master. It's in a specific setting with specific types of interactions allowed, so it's more restricted than real D&D in that sense - limited by what the developers programmed into the game, as opposed to a real-world game only restricted by the imagination of players and a human DM - but it's a pretty good introduction if you enjoy the setting. The only downside (also present in real D&D) is that going in unguided can be extremely overwhelming. The best advice is to just go for it, let yourself try weird things and make mistakes, and then you'll know better for the next campaign/playthrough.

definitely try the game out for stream, you will love the writing and story with all the good voice acting! Also no worries about reaction time or anything because you can strait up put the game on story mode for easy difficulty, combat is turn based meaning you knee jerk reactions you can take your time on your turns to figure stuff out or read spells, ect The romance is also completely optional like you can strait up avoid it and just be good friends with your companions who each have their own fun stories to experience with character growth that causes even the ones to annoy you to be interesting. Game also has a good amount of different endings, also the dude with the grey beard and long hair you saw is voiced by omniman/J.
