I Killed Every NPC in Baldur's Gate 3 (w/ Director's Commentary)

Long time no kill! So I know I already released this video in 3 parts with Act 1, 2, and 3 all being seperated, but I wanted to put together a version of them all combined, and add some director's commentary on top of it. Don't worry, you won't have to listen to 2 of me talking at the same time, I just threw some notes on the screen throughout the video to give you some insight into the process, into my thoughts, or just into something I thought was funny. Thank you guys for revisiting (or visiting for the first time) this series, it really is one of my favorite projects of all time. Now go ahead and enjoy watching me kill every NPC in Baldur's Gate 3!
Shoutouts to @Toyhouze for making such good and informative videos/TikToks. They have made my life much easier

⁠@@SlideerrOne of the problems with using exp over milestone in D&D is that it encourages and rewards murderhobos. It sucks looking at a character sheet and knowing that if I was just willing to be a monster and butchered a ton of innocents, I could’ve levelled up, and thus just be blatantly stronger.

Pro tip I use in every honor mode: go to shadowhearts spell book and equip 'command' you can use 'command: drop' on Zhalk with about a %50 success rate. You can then easily take and equip the everburn blade, and Zhalk will only do 6 damage per attack with his fists.

There are 6 (I think) servants that are not to be found with the dead bodies. So at least those servants should be killed prior to moving on, as it is unclear but likely that they survived, since Gortash only wanted the patriars dead, not the people who serve him.

ultimate murderhobo playthrough

[@seraftt]

11:30 so she's Quil? I was looking for her in Baldur's Gate because of a letter, found on a beheaded person in one of the cells near the murder tribunal, the letter was sweet they were saying they pre-ordered Quil's music or sum like that and they wish to see her soon, i really thought that there was no npc called Quil because i couldn't find her on the location mentioned on the letter (the blushing mermaid) I'm amazed at how much time Larion spent on having this world feel real because of little things like this

[@Serelor]

Hate to break it to you, but it's actually *very easy* to have Mirkon (the tiefling child near the harpies) die. It's so stupid easy that my only explanation for why you didn't experience it may be due to positioning/difficulty. Mirkon normally dies so easily that you have to actually *try to* prevent his death, which makes this run even weirder than normal

[@prokhor_zakharov]

I accidentally killed him just by walking down to the beach, observing the scene, and deciding "eh, I'd rather come back and deal with this after a long rest." Oops.

[@themudpit621]

yeah, I was pretty sure I remembered him dying and me reloading, because every playthrough now I work on keeping him safe.

Also, I know I'm late, but the kids ALL die if you steal the idol of silvanus before resolving the goblin camp. Druids go nuts and a race war breaks out, everyone dies including the kids. I found this out in a very traumatic first run where I legitimately was just like "sure Mol, I'll steal the idol, fk these druids after what they almost did to Arabella!" Didn't get caught, ran away, took a long rest. Somehow didn't get the cut scene. Just woke up and returned to the Grove to find total carnage lmao.

[@SherifNeamatalla]

@28:34 You actually left a single person alive in the Hag's cave. There is a guy turned to stone, you can use basilisk oil on him, he'd live if you do this after you kill the hag, or die of sickness if you do it before killing the hag.

did you know that if you drop the nhetherstones at the steel foundry before it is blown up you get a totally unique encounter with some kobolds.

If you go to the harpy beach see the kid on shore but not interact, then rest and come back they’ll be dead in the nest

[@RandyH524]

i carried that kid all the way through act three and then dumped his body then reanimated him as a ghoul. he sacrificed perfectly. gave me the advantage was the move that turned the tides.

[@salamantics]

You can also send one party member (a rogue or a spellcaster with invisibility) and stealth away once combat starts. When the kid makes it to the harpies they’ll auto attack and kill them in 1-2 turns. Other than the snake in the grove you have very little other opportunities to cause the disconnection of children. That’s why Kagha was right

[@nasldevelopment]

you should do a playthrough where you only use non lethal attacks and make sure nobody dies at all.

Man I expected just another challenge video from this, but I enjoyed it way more. Your humor is great, I love that you explain the plot (even though I have about 300 hours in the game) and still try to have some roleplay and overall this just felt much more like watching a person try a silly - maybe a bad word for this but you know - way to play the game instead of an overplanned genius challenge edited down to 20 minutes. It reminded me a little of how LPs used to be, except, of course, you would have had to release one 15 minute episode a week in a numbered playlist for that. Anyway the actual point is just that I enjoyed this way more than I expected and got really invested. It's also been some time since I last thought "hey this youtuber seems like a nice person" instead of just "yeah this guy sure knows how to make content"
