my jaw literally DROPPED at how dark Arabella was used

[@randomperson8375]

if I ever do a multiplayer evil playthrough, I'm definitely letting Arabella die so I can reanimate her corpse like that just to see the reaction(s) of whoever is playing with me lmao.

Make her have necrotic damage, and then walk around Baldur's Gate with her in your pocket. Either that, or the one laying around in the vampire manor.

Spore Servant Arabella and "Someone Let the Crawlies Out" were my highlights

Love this series I'm so glad you bought it to BG3, I also love how the free economy never dies each patch (I hope this comment ages well even after patch 7)

Oh hey Morgana, fancy seeing you here~ love your vids

Free economy truly unkillable

[@rickylahey657]

The thing us exploits like this aren't abused that much. Im sure the novelty wears off after awhile plus this game is so awesome just because you steal the merchants inventory doesn't mean you're gunna beat that boss

[@naivety]

this is how I find out you can yoink merchants' entire inventories!?

[@riptidetube123]

You can do that in basically every major version, he wasn't kidding when he said they kept trying to fix this glitch lmao

[@DarksiderJon]

This is how I found out you can throw objects through teleportation holes and they still work

[@kingofgrim4761]

I wish it worked on console, it seems pretty much impossible bc of entirely different interfaces

[@illbean1337]

Either i'm doing it wrong or it no longer works. Says i've insufficient gold. Just tried it :/

[@shadowdroid776]

I have no clue if it works on console, but for console I learned to basically just pickpocket them by buffing the shit out of Astarion and distracting them with playing an instrument. Bro can nab almost all the inventory in one turn, then head to camp ASAP before returning and doing it all again.

Random Goblin is such a metal band name. Now we need a metal remix. lol

[@DurgetheXIII]

That “someone let the crawlies” line is so hilarious. I love this video!

[@gregoberski5897]

i REALLY hope they don't patch out the vendor thing either. It's not hurting anyone in a single player game and it's janky enough that an "honest" player is not going to accidently stumble upon it. I personally really dislike the "economic aspect" of bg3 and prefer to just have more of a godlike power fantasy with having all the best gear available on me at all times.

[@Grazzinator]

​@@masterdna117but there is already a solution. Costum mode, set vendor prices to 0%

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Pickpocketing was really fun and immersive on my first playthrough. Now I just want the items for my build without needing to sell 65 long swords first.

[@DanielBrinkmann1996]

@@masterdna117 You don't need a mod to add it back, you can just add a mod that reduces vendor prices or a console that gives you all the items you want. ^^

@@Fracture.Gaming I never want to have to loot all the rags and dusty clothes out of every random crate in the world *ever* again. My first playthrough probably had at least 1/4th of all its hours spent looking through fucking containers...

[@couldarstrolm6969]

So I just tried this just now and it didn't work at first so I thought it was patched out. However, upon watching how he did it in this video numerous times, I realized you need to drop the items on the bag icon, not into the opened bag slots. Still works for now

[@lemonaut1]

> gale in bag trick wtf >robbing merchants with pouch trick WTF!!! these exploits are breaking my mind, i've got to try these. and they're all bag-themed! ~~~~~ even more thoughts below: > spore servant bulette man i always wish i got to do that > spore servant arabella to assault druid grove never imagined this was even remotely possible, either rezzing arabella, taking her out of the underdark, or her being *completely omnipotent in combat*! > recruiting spiders to join you in your attack on the goblin fortress :o amazing song! > drop ice cubes to insta-bludgeon Grym ...wwhat? > water whip + plant growth = perma-prone :o > bard lure onto crates over lava & remove crates to kill w/o triggering combat brilliant!

[@theredeft5319]

Weaponizing the normally super powered kids in a rpg video game was ingenious and so dark I love it. Arabella’s revenge was crazy. And so many interesting strategies here like swapping weapons and dropping giant ice blocks on grymforge. Please do some more stuff like this for act 2 and 3

[@Zuron]

In your DOS2 series I was a doubter, thinking there wouldn't be enough fresh cheese in that game to make this happen. Here I have no such doubts.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

The fact that box mancer is a real and viable build is proof enough of the cheese available in that game.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Really a great start to a series. Can't wait to see the rest. Shaping the ice getting a kill was the highlight for me lol great idea. Was wondering what you've been cooking up lately.

[@Hrafnskald]

27:40: Great Remix: "Fight! Fight! Fight! Someone let the crawlies out!" Classic spider cheese, wellplayed :)

[@AgentBacalhau]

Throughout a couple playthroughs using a lot of cheese (metaphorically, although we probably ate a lot of waterdhavian cheese too), I've found out that whenever you do stupid stuff, the game responds with stupid stuff. It seems like the more you're cheesing the game, the more unrelated things become unstable and stop working properly in the funniest way possible, and it's just great. We had Minthara throwing herself off a cliff as early as act 1 when we tried to use the cheese strat for moving people around without making them hostile using the improvised weapon action.

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

22:43 I imagined McGonagall screaming "Coward!" at the Bullette 😄

The trick with the pouch straight up is diabolical, I screamed to the screen when you did that. I have completed the game 5 times and I never saw something like this

[@__TK___]

I play on console and I’m not sure if you can do it there like he showed

[@greenchilistudioz4537]

Funnier about the "pouch" method, any bags and chests work, as long it is the inventory icon above the inventory slots, not the slots themselves.

[@alan-daniel]

every one of your videos, I get more and more amazed with your knowledge of the intricacies of the mechanics of this game. I don't know how you come up with some of these strats, but as I've said before, it's entertaining as hell nicely done

pro tip, to avoid spending 200g to respect to get restocks on vendors... you can partial rest to reset them as well for FREE :3

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

Great video! I was so excited when I saw it and couldn't wait to watch it and now I'm hyped for part 2! Two things: - I think Lump disappearing after the first round is intentional, at least it happened for me as well when the whole group was alive. The in-game explanation might be that they just think "I'm gonna give this fucker a good beating for messing with me but then I'm gonna head out". Lump has 17 intelligence after all! - Flind is actually female; when you have a psyonic connection to her due to the tadpoling, the narrator uses she/her pronouns

[@sarkandrago3222]

the Githyanki segment just reminds me of "I need you, and stay with me on this one, to ALMOST kill me".

It's genuinely impressive how you can come up with these things. I have 400 hours on bg3 and could never. Amazing video!

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Well I certainly didn’t come up with EVERY method used. This video is a combo of things I’ve discovered on my own, learned from other KZbinrs, read about on Reddit, etc. It was really fun to try and find a good way to use everything!

[@wintrygarden]

Fracture YESSSSS i am so glad to see another goofy BG video from you! love the way you just bust games open from the inside out, its just so dang fun.

[@bahamut458]

The time and effort that went into this amazingly janky video is much appreciated.

[@derekskelton4187]

The plant growth + water whip strat should be an outright bug. It's not supposed to be half of your maximum movement; it should be half of whatever you have. So no matter how much you divide it you still have some movement to use half of. There's a reason moves that actually stop your movement specify that your movement becomes 0. Cool video though

[@connorblack99]

I think it might actually work because of how they reconfigured the mechanics. With normal 5e, plant growth turns each foot of movement into 4 feet, but in bg3 it seems to halve movement, and because it costs half your base movement to stand from prone, even if you technically have 5 feet of movement still if you are stuck prone on your turn you’re just done.

[@lucafrix66]

This has to be one of my favorite videos you have ever done. Always fantastic seeing you break games.

21:47 Where you first go in, the arch you walk out of, just wack a couple of petrified peeps; they wake-up and uncharm. Then just step back into the arch, and wait for the Spectator to come to you after re-animating the rest. He gets stuck plugging the arch, so nothing can really get to you if you back around the stairs. There is no path around either, then you just ranged it for 5 minutes with a couple of their uncharmed guys wacking it in the butt.

[@Jules_Diplopia]

This seemed so ridiculous that I wasn't going to watch it. But it turned out to be educational as well as very silly. Thanks.
