[@Walabinx]

I thought I was the only one.

[@charliemcdowell5231]

I really like how you put specific emphasis on the fact that all of these classes are essentially the top of their vocation or specialization even at lower levels. A fighter is more than a common soldier, a cleric isn't the same as an ordinary priest, and wizard isn't the same as an arcane scholar. Even a lowly level 1 fighter adventurer is a cut above the average.

[@ghiffaribara2949]

This is what i'm missing on DnD, i thought fighter is just your average dude but when i used it i realized that the class is proficient with every weapons and armor which i thought was weird because I'm at level 1

[@charliemcdowell5231]

@@ghiffaribara2949 yeah I had to explain to some players in my game that the priest they were talking to couldn't heal them, he was an ordinary priest rather than a fairly rare cleric.

[@Hawk7886]

Man I love how deep this game runs. I can't believe it caps at level 12, I really hope there's an expansion that takes it all the way. So damn cool.

[@Shadowsteel]

It's capped at 12 for a reason, the balance starts getting wonky after that from what I've heard.

[@Hawk7886]

@@Shadowsteel Yes. That's why I'd love an expansion.

[@kingleech16]

@@ShadowsteelBalance is for acrobats, I want my fighter to punch through obsidian mountains! 🤪

[@KindOldRaven]

I don't think Larian usually does expansions.... I think they're more likely to start working on Divinity (Original Sin) 3 after a break period. Which, tbh, would also be very cool. Divinity may not be DnD as far as I understand, but DoS 1 and especially 2 are *very* good games and I'd wager many fans of BG3 would still enjoy playing through DoS2 afterwards.

[@CarronBarboza]

Parian doesn’t really do expansions, and if they do, things get really odd and hard to balance past level 12. To the point that it creates too many possibilities to put into just an expansion

[@devinloew7681]

This is a massive help. Now I can tell my gf to just listen to this like a podcast so she doesnt have to spend hours and hours reading through the 5e wiki like I did years ago

I miss Neverwinter Night... the very first game that introduced me to DnD. It took me months to finally get a gists of the rules.. AC, Attack Roll etc... finally simply went fighter and steam roll the whole game... I miss Aribeth.

[@szymond2302]

Thanks for putting timestamps. Some classes don't appeal to me so i can watch the parts interesting for me personally

[@p-fife]

I didn't watch the individual ones so I didn't hear previously, congrats on 200k! That's awesome, man. Very well deserved! By far my favorite person for CRPGs and reviews.

[@htenerf137]

Not to get too mushy but I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. If it weren’t for your videos on Baldurs Gate 1 and Kingmaker i wouldn’t even understand what a CRPG was let alone know that turn-based gaming is my favourite genre. I can’t wait for the BG3 content and happy you’re able to keep making videos you love. You rock!

[@donoisserious9120]

Just wanna say bro your work don’t go unnoticed always look to you for these vids 🙌🏾

[@cuddlytitan4623]

Just wanna pop in and say that I've been watching through the series while I could to try and decide on what I was going to play when I can finally start the game and its been incredibly helpful and interesting. Thanks for making the series! Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@chiefinasmith]

What’d you end up going with? I’m a battle master fighter & I love it

[@cuddlytitan4623]

@@chiefinasmith I ended up just going pure circle of the moon druid cause I really want to see how far wild shape goes in the game. If I want to change (or I might save this for another playthrough), I'll go with a sorcerer/warlock multiclass. I haven't gotten much time to play the game though cause I'm in the middle of my finals.

[@advancedlevelgaming]

Great video idea. Thanks for this! Hope you're having lots of fun with your next playthrough. I'm playing a Circle of the Moon Druid, vaguely Good and very committed to being rid of the parasite.

I can’t believe that my computer ate it completely before this game launched.. I have a Mortismal Baulder’s Gate playlist so I’ll be ready once I re-build my rig 😎🤌Thanks for putting this into one complete video. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself

[@antarath517]

Cleric and barbarian can make a good pairing on multiclass imo A lot of cleric spells don't have concentration and are one-off buffs you throw up after a long rest, with many of their other features synergizing well with a tanky melee build. Their buff spells don't usually use spellcasting modifier, so it's perfect for a dip cleric -> go barb route. Channel divinity as well can fit very well, particularly War Domain Cleric. Spiritual Weapon is also a very good one to use too, although it does have the slight flaw of taking spellcasting modifier. Altogether, you get to roll a lot of utility into your tank while sacrificing minimally on the damage front. I think it works out very nicely

[@Hawk7886]

Good stuff, love it dude. The multiclass meta is going to really open this game up. I'm going super casual on my first playthrough, but I can't wait until I can play with player char and party comp meta later.

[@Scarygomez]

Hey Morty son, I love a supercut! I remember a DOS2 supercut was how I found you !💀

[@sophfro]

I played Druid circle of the moon my first playthrough and it was such a fun time, lots of ways to solve puzzles and unique dialogue choices.

[@Codoloco1]

[@NathanCassidy721]

Thanks for this. Watched your story vids for the first two and was thinking about going into the third game. This vid is gonna give me some good prep.

[@FrostyMourne92]

Love those long compilations especially the lore ones. I always watch them multiple times.😅

[@BL00DYME55]

1st playthrough - went in blind with literally zero knowledge of BG or D&D. Picked a paladin, and while learning all the game mechanics was really tough at the beginning, I ended up having an absolute blast. From playing other fantasy (A)RPGs like WoW and Diablo, my idea of a paladin was basically a holy protector of the people, so I played as devotion pally, tried to make all the good choices and basically save everyone and everything lol. But he felt like a natural-born leader for our party, and ended up saving the world and getting good endings for everybody in my group. Never really multi-classed caused didn't wanna overcomplicate things on my 1st playthrough, so by lvl12 he was an absolute beast. 2nd playthrough - wanted to try the Dark Urge, since I heard good things about it, and what a different experience that was lol. Went with a warlock cause thematically it felt like a good match, but by the end of act 1 she still felt kinda weak, so SURPRISE - multiclassed into paladin again lol. But went with the Oathbreaker to keep up with the Dark Urge theme. That was a pretty insane combo imo, with a Pact Weapon I was able to make 3 attacks per turn, and with warlock spell slots regenerating after a short rest, my evil paladin was unstoppable, and ended up literally taking over the world haha 3rd (current) playthrough - decided to try a sorcerer, as I've had Gale as a nearly permanent party member in my previous playthrough and liked all the magic stuff, so wanted something kinda similar but still fresh/new. I just spent the first 90 hours exploring Act 1 (still finding new things in the world after 2 full playthroughs, which is crazy), but I dunno if I'm feeling this class tbh, it's not as "new" as I expected. It's basically a very limited Wizard with a slightly different twist, i.e. sorcery points/meta magic. Don't know if I should multiclass into something else or respec entirely, or just power through it and see if it gets better in Act 2 and 3. Also, as a side note, it's crazy how even on my 3rd playthrough I still find new secrets in the game, new quests, new locations, not to mention the insane number of diaogue/story choices and consequences. I guess it helps that I don't just check google/youtube for every possible solution and outcome before making a choice, I just try things to see what happens and roll with it. The game is a lot more fun that way imo. Needless to say I am absolutely obsessed with BG3, if it wasn't yet obvious by this wall of text (sorry about that)

[@marklarison2829]

Thanks for making videos! Game just dropped on x-box so I'm trying to learn everything in hopes to select the right class for me. So many choices!

[@coconutologist]

Thanks for the video. Your encouragement for us to "wonder in wisdom" leads me to believe that you want us to role either Cleric or Druid [bad joke]. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@miinyoo]

Awesome overview and the differences with 5e. Yeah I agree. Warlock while not as specialized as other classes has their own unique bent on gameplay especially if you want to kick dogma out the window and cut your own path. The pact goes both ways. Doesn't matter how you accomplish your mutually (haha lol) conceived goals but there is no direct way to get there. Awesome dominatrix class. Combat mediocre but sometimes more capable than a bard with negotiations.

[@Kopesy]

I'm gonna enjoy this video, - nice and *meaty* , yum. Haven't touched/watched anything BG3 since it was released as 'early access', so I'm completely in the dark. I have however, some experience with DOS1/2 & played a few campaigns of 4th edition D&D with friends, but that was _quite_ some time ago. I was thinking of finding my old character sheets, but since I have no idea where they are and I'm lazy, I'll happily lap all this information up and go from there instead. Thanks for taking the time to make this! ^_^

[@generalkenobi2126]

BG3 is amazing but I feel like WoTR spoiled me for how massive;y it outperforms BG3 in classes variety not to mention the ability to level up to lvl 40 (compared to quite pitiful 12 here hehe)

I like the idea of a Bhaal life cleric that heals people because the only right way to die is being murdered 😂

Seen 3 streamers so far that went Dark Urge/paladin combo. Mine is Dark Urge Gloomstalker/assassin, but I was thinking that a Berserker Barbarian would also make sense.

[@rh7474]

[@richardthompson3871]

I've been playing around with a way of the open hand monk multiclassed with thief rogue. It's pretty silly. Stack strength early and grab tavern brawler. Then dump strength and constitution after you steal the goodies from Raphael and get those boots that add your wisdom to unarmed stikes. Run around smacking people 6 or more times per round for 22-33 per hit. Fun times.

Loving the class mods for this game. Running a Blood Hunter Order of the Lycan (Class created by Matt Mercer from Critical Role) and its been very fun so far.

Ugh, it's honestly criminal we never got a multiplayer Pathfinder 1e game. Playing this with my friends we're equal parts impressed that they took such a basic game and made it more mathematically interesting with the equipment actions, but then we're enormously sad how dull and lifeless character advancement is.

Late reply but probably bard, then at level 3 pick the college of lore subclass. You’ll have more skill proficiencies than you’ll know what to do with, and with the high charisma you’ll need for your class, your dialogue skills will be even higher.

[@dribrom]

The DnD Druid should be called Shaman. If we look at folklore around the world it's the Shaman that can shapeshift into bears, wolves, etc. Yes, Shamans has existed in Asia, Europe and Africa too, not just in America. It's mainly in Nordic Viking lore you can find shamans who turn into Bears but also in the Celtic culture you have shamans that can turn into wolves, stags, etc. Druids however in the Celtic cultures draw their power from alchemy and had the ability to prophesize. Most "realistic" druids in a CRPG you find in The Witcher 3.

[@Hawk7886]

Good point, and TW3 was an incredible game. If CDPR can pull their head out of their ass following CP2077, the next Witcher game is the only thing that could potentially upset BG3. Larian set the bar very, very high, and I'm stoked because of it.

[@dribrom]

@@Hawk7886 CDPR managed to fix CP2077 but it tock them almost a year to do so. But I recommend to wait for the new expansion Phantom Liberty (26 Sept.) if you plan to return as they are also planning to rework all the classes in the game and change allot of game mechanics at the same time.

[@marcusbullock2753]

Is it possible to be a Dragonborne Eldeitch Knight? That’s kinda my goal once I finally be able to play the game. Sadly I don’t have a pc yet. Wish it was on console.

[@ManwithoutfearJDK]

Well...that's just super. I have a question I'd love an answer to. Relating to Origin Characters, not includingThe Dark Urge, (TDU) their stories and the interaction w/ the main story. As I understand it most Origin characters stories interact with the main plot of the game. Do you have to play as the origin character to get that story? Or can you play as TDU and still get, for example Wyll's full story even if you aren't playing as him? Also, can you complete each Origin Character's story in a single playthrough? I'm just trying to figurer out how to capture as much of the stories as I can. And I'm having a tough time picking between 3 party members. So many of them seem like so much fun.

[@MortismalGaming]

No, but you get more options. Yes. Yes.

is it possible to let all party roll perception/history/religion etc in dialogs? i got talkative Wyll, but he is not very good at those things and often miss skill checks. Kinda funy that 3 ppl standing next to him and Gale can`t say smth like: " bro i know this, trust me". At pathfinder at dialogs you could use all party members best sides:(

[@matthuck378]

PF: WotR has a lot more going on than BG3. Not only is the PF ruleset a lot more complicated than 5e, but they've also had more time to patch and fix things. BG3 will likely get a "definitive edition" just like DOS1 and 2 got...In about a year, and it'll be the superior version with (hopefully) fixes to things like that. Because yeah, even in table top D&D, this is how it's supposed to work. Not where ONE person always has to do ALL dialogue.

[@silverspear117]

I need advice, I really want to play through one time as a custom character and would love to play as a rogue but I don’t want to cut Astrion out of my play through. I don’t plan on taking him all the time but I would like the option to. Is having two rogues in the party a bad idea or is it manageable

[@MortismalGaming]

If youre not playing on tactician I wouldnt worry about it

[@mazereon629]

something to listen to while grinding in BDO :)

[@matthuck378]

I think WotC should have given the Monk combat maneuvers and superiority dice, not the battlemaster fighter. That would have made more sense, and made the Monk a viable martial class with something powerful and unique...And perfectly flavorful. But you can't take that subclass away from the Fighter now. If you want to play a martial artist that's actually good, you have to play the Fighter, not the Monk.

Hi all, does barbs throw ability and the edrich knight ability (thowing weopons comes back) are working together?

[@dalentces2492]

I've tried Monk. Another YTer summed the Ranger as a class that does everything some other classes do but worse. I feel like Monk is the same way: squishier, less alpha damage, less opportunities to make use of gear, less overall usefulness than a Fighter who can tank AND deal damage AND debuff if you go Battle Master. If you want to be sneaky, you're better off with a Rogue and their multiple skill proficiencies as well as access to light armor and better criticals. I don't think any other class needs as much CON as Monk does. As if that wasn't enough Monk proficiencies are niche, their damage is single target oriented for a good portion of the game, and you have to use a different character for CHA rolls in dialogues. Monk really doesn't have anything going for them. It's there for people who want to RP. Also I hoped Larian learned from their mistakes and at least added more skill checks for niche skills they decided to include. It feels like these were an afterthought and they sprinkled them on top of dialogues and quests they have already made, rather than tailoring them to each other.
