I’m a pretty out of the box thinker when it comes to rpgs and strategy games and I never thought of this. It’s fantastic.

I insta killed a boss with 500 health using a pouch with 40 plus bombs 😅

That one, and dumping a bunch of stuff out elsewhere to turn mage hand into artillery support are the ones that i found most interesting. This game is so flippin' cool man.

People who played Divinity already knew Larian would put this in their next game

I've actually done this in a campaign and I didn't think I could in this..... oh man oh man.... I had a bag filled to the brim with explosives... time to repeat it in bg3 lol

Its similar to Divinity 2 which is where these mechanics come from you had these teleportation pyramids you could find and throw them around and teleport from one to another so you could leave one at the grove trader for example and then drop one exactly where you were and teleport back and forth and throw them on high ground and teleport everyone up there. it was so good and had so many uses.

And do you know how they thought of all of these mechanics? Some from player feedback, but a lot of it was from the devs simply playing their own game and thinking "you know what would be cool?" Then adding this stuff in.

I constantly question whether I'm playing the game right or not which is kinda awesome and a first😂

I do believe that the ally you shove uses an action and some movement to stand up, so you're basically deciding who keeps an action, the victim or the helper

@@Ytinasniiablewhen you use help it takes the turn from the one waking up, so you save yourself one action still by shoving

help also works to interrupt spells like tasha's hideous laughter, I discovered last night :)

Shove is the most OP bonus action in the game. Much more powerful than actual table top, thats for sure XD *enters boss fight. Shoves em off into the void* Sure ya dont get loot, but in a pinch it's amazing.

@@kaliek5281 my loot fomo is just too great to shove any one other the most mundane minions

Thank you

Or pack them closely together and destroy the healing potion inbetween them to heal all with one potion..

​@@Greenalex89oh look an ogre.

​@@Greenalex89What's the trick to do this? I tried several times but most of time the potion only healed 1 party member. I already put them to stand close together and then threw the potion on the ground between them. They're all standing inside the splash area cursor too. So weird.

i saw my companion do this and was like huh

also food weighs a ton so just picking it up is a pain, always SEND TO CAMP.. this info is soo important, as you can get encumbered easily, so look in your food bag and send 200lbs of food to camp ::P... ask me how i know...

Indeed. This is actually game-changer level stuff, as it's way easy to be over encumbered if you're not having Karlach carry all the camp supplies. And even then, they take a fair chunk of her carry weight.

Except salami, salami must go to the druid to be shillelaghed

I'm honestly just waiting for a better camp inventory system all together, for all the loot-goblins' sake out there

I didn't even know it's possible 😅

Does the environment periodically reset, or is a chandelier down forever?

Ahhh a fellow abjuration wizard with armor of agathys. Yes yes, highly recommended to get enemies to club you in the back of the head with a 25 point armor of agathys and 18 stacks of arcane ward :) You take 0 damage and -1 arcane ward while they take 25 cold damage! Brilliant! Ohhh you don't do this? Well with your skill set, this build is PERFECT is for you! Try it out.

Yeah, very useful to know for all of those utility spells that don't have much use in combat. Just keep your spellbook ready for battle, and switch out a utility spell when you need it. I'm not sure, but I think that spells like speak to animals (spells that last until the next long rest) stay active even after you've removed it from the spellbook.

This was important with downing Commander Zhalk for his weapon. Shadowheart has an ability to drop his weapon in combat but it's not on her bar unless you switch spells with the K button.

i wonder if this is a bug, because normally casters like wizards need a lot of time to prepare their spells and do this as part of a long rest. thats why i didnt even notice it until later in the game.

​@@mrxxbrianYou mean the boss in the prologue?

@@Stone7C1 - This is not a bug, it is mentioned once in a while in the tips during loadingscreens.

Shar’s blessing upon you! I’d never thought of that!

This is how I navigated the platforms in the Grymforge!

​@@AnthonySkubicyou can also shoot them with arrows

Devils advocate: you can't tie up unconscious enemies with rope. I'd like to interrogate certain characters before they die

@@TheLetterH111 Devils Devils advocate, that’s what the speak with dead necklace is for at the start of the game :p

​@@evancarson1895Devil's Devil's Devil's Advocate: Speak with Dead doesn't work on people you killed - the corpse will refuse to speak

​@@YourPalKindredDevil's Devil's Devil's Devil's advocate, disguise self exists

Thank you for this interaction 😂😂😂 I made this argument to my team the other day.

many of the mechanics have been taken and further refined from their last title, Original Sin 2. You might want to give that one a try as well then.

does make sense since blood is mostly water ( the blood plasma that makes up 55% of blood, 90% of that is water)

lol I mean I had no idea a video game had taken that into account.@@taylorgarrett793

I destroy the rope ladders at the Underdark Beach every time. The fight is way faster, then.

​@@taylorgarrett793And I mean.. It's a liquid, most liquids can easily be frozen

Yeah but if u try to rest, it will tell u that u have insufficient funds.

@@shiro2400 Doesn't matter, just ignore that popup and go to your camp. You can apply your supplies directly from that backpack that is in the traveler's chest.

@@FlyingFox86 oh ok I’ll try it out later. I’m glad it works lol. Used to carry that bag on my character and weighed so much

that is a real great tip thank you !

@@Minoseth I should point out that I'm actually having some issues right now of it not quite working. I think it might only work if you put the supplies in the traveler's chest yourself, and not by using "send to camp". What also works, surprisingly, is putting a camp supplies bag into the travelers chest when there are already supplies in there. The bag will just hoover them up. So what I do now while out and about is occasionally look in de camp supplies bag I carry around and send everything in there to the camp. Then, when I check my travelers chest when I'm in the camp and there are supplies in there, I take the camp supplies bag (that's in the chest) out and put it back in immediately.

didn't knew, thank you

I picked up a ranged weapon with Bane on it. Not sure if that helps but its worth a shot.

careful, you activate them by doing it (i think) so no go for area poison spiller etc, only explosives

pfft I always have disarm kits and tools on hand and as long as I don't roll a one, I never fail 😂

I've found disarming is usually the way to go. There is a surprising amount of traps in this game that don't just explode once.

🤯

Do they automatically take things inside like alchemist pouch and camp supply pouch?

You can also disguise as a gnome to get into some places. Or use the animal form 'rat'. Or even that thing that turns you into a little cloud I guess. Or misty step? (not sure)

thats funny because real time games bore me to tears *shrug*

This was only a fraction of what it can do, they had to nerf it before release because it was too easy to break the game over your knee using just mage hand.

They had to nerf it so that it needs short rest to be cast again. Even then it’s still broken

@@GewalfofWivia i watched a video is someone defeating Commander Zhalk on Tactician by summoning like 30 Mage Hands. They were able to bypass the short rest fix because of the healing pods which I think is genius.

What? I tought it was the most worthless? Why is it that good?

Yea be careful, some people are spoiling which person betrays you. (Shadow heart)

You're not funny, and this isn't true. Nice bait tho.@@dddaaa6965

Divinity original sin 2.5 ..... not baldurs gate 3 👌

​@@rayromano6249despite the pedantry of your reply, the game is set in the Forgotten Realms which makes it 100% D&D, don't care if mechanically it's the "same" but Divinity 2.5 it ain't.

@@rayromano6249 have you even played 5e? BG3 isn't AL and isn't RAW. The majority of what people play isn't.

thats the wonder of DND, the possibilities are basically endless, all the limits ya are the rules that everyone agrees on ( ie the rules from the player hand book but these can be changed if the dm allows it) and ya creativity

I don't agree when people claim the game has endless possibilities. It has a lot of possibilities, more than most if not all games but not endless. On this expectation in my playthrough I've tried number of things that seemed to make sense in context of the game but they don't work or bug out. - I expected disguises to be better integrated in dialogue but instead it's a very surface implementation where it essentially resets dialogue and sometimes offers different options. Even you companions treat you both differently and in same way with disguise never addressing it. As a result disguise feels like afterthought. - One location has a destructible sentry, another location only let's you disable it through puzzle. No reason given even when I try examining object, it doesn't include description which could address it. As a result, feels inconsistent and I can't try different strategies reliably. - Invisibility, sneaking and crouching doesn't work equally everywhere and not because of lore reasons. In some environments NPCs will immediately notice when their possessions are touched, in others you can take stuff right behind them. This again makes it inconsistent and I can't try different strategies reliably. - You completed quest by a different approach? Now for some reason parts of quest-related-story are broken. This is also inconsistent so I don't know if I will break things next time or discover something interesting. I get that problems from such massive game do arise and I am ok with it. But it's not endless possibilities.

@@MartinzW dunno about 2 and 4 yet. number 1, i have been posts of doing disguises before doing speak with dead. So you don't look like the guy who killed the mob. number 3. I read about people treating this differently by switching to turn based combat and there a key or something that gave sight radius of npcs/enemies.

@@animewatcha Speak with dead works well with disguises. It's the alive npcs that react inconsistently. In some areas even with turn-based on, npc will turn around during your turn when doing something you shoudln't after which you should jump out of their line of sight. So there is workaround but it doesn't feel nice.

To quote the old wargame, 'Strategos': "Consider the possibility that anything can be attempted"

I did this but with Command drop weapon. Has enough range to get away and do the cutscenes then pick it up after.

What does the weapon do

No way this is the best game in the world I never would've thought that 😂

What you mean chests with different names?

many containers have different names. Opulant Chest, Peculiar clothing chest, Heavy Chest, Barrel, etc

Yeah thought I’d take him up on his offer and ended up with this, without any downsides to boot! Thought I’d have a perception penalty or something too

@@skullaverazThere was a penalty in EA but Larian removed it.

​@@tagnetorare5401do you remember what it was? I didn't get to see this option in EA.

@@MirridonOnslaught disadvantage on perception checks.

​@user-ob4kn3rp3j When my barbarian did it in EA it messed up and I lost the ability to crit after he popped out my eye.... Scared to try in case that's still a possible outcome lol.

Find Familiar actually doesn’t take any resources as it can be cast as a ritual. But it still has a cool-down so do cast it before a short or long rest in case you need to do it again.

There's a really cool legendary trident you can find that has a magical enchantment that returns the trident to you every time you throw it. It has other effects, like emitting a constant bright light, but the Captain America effect is the coolest.

Thrown objects apply crushing damage when thrown at something far below with the damage increasing as the height increases.

It's hit & miss though. I've placed someone at the top of a ladder to try this, but the enemy still managed to climb up and both 3D models were on top of each other / clipped =/

I made a warlock on release, and I recently made a wizard, the wizard is just so much more versatile to me. What a great game. 😊

If you weren't aware, you can right click a spell scroll as a wizard and pay the gold cost to learn the spell.

@@mone2447 the best part of a wizard! ;)

@@mone2447 Yep and there's a button in the spellbook menu that lets you can learn a bunch at once and it tells you how much gold it will cost for the whole group

BG3 is fantastic ❤

@@rhinoman86 Early access was only Act 1 and as it seems only a part of it. But the available parts were completed once or twice. I tried many possibilities and also saves did not work anymore after each big patch.

Hey! I found the one other person playing a druid!

And one more: you can carry dead bodies with you via context menu, use later for necromancy.

The footage is to dark

I’ve noticed the party exp is often off by a small amount 25-100exp but for me it’s due to them being inspired and getting exp that isn’t shared. However, after sending a player to camp then re-electing it seems to mostly reset of close enough. I’ve had party members split up and a full screen away for boss fights and somehow they all got the exp, so I really just think it’s an inspiration exp bug.
