Holy crap, this was amazing!

Fake and gay. Can’t assassinate myrkul in one hit by throwing a briefcase at him.

I hate your joke. Good job

Of course! It's Baldy Ron!!

i am aspired to RP Indrick Boreale now.

So you mean he's playing Balder's Gate?

Baldurs Gate, its balding time

The only difference between the 2 is that Patches kill clerics for free.

Both are bald, so close enough.

What do zoomers know what dark souls

​@@Frankthegbwhat?

@@Frankthegb what?

its a testament to the greatness of that game, I think it is my favourite game now, imho one if not the best video game rpg, since you can actually roleplay, and play it the way you want, you just have to understand how the game works and what is possible

also because of bugs too! some ppl have scenes earlier than others, it’s kinda funny

@@IcoOst yeah but only in act 1 and maybe act 2, act 3 is kind of ruined in the aspect

That’s what makes it such a masterpiece

​@@IcoOstyou finished act 2 and 3 yet?

Who is ur? And why does he have a gate?

Ur is an ancient god from the Mesopotamia area. I don't know if there is a Faerun D&D equivalent. @@Lazymindflayerwithcofffee

Boulder’s great

It's Ur mom. Busted open her gate last night.@@Lazymindflayerwithcofffee

Yeah the rats being shadow druids or whatever blew my mind, it's incredible how much you can miss by forgetting to open a single hidden chest.

200.

Dude so much of this video blew my mind. Absolute masterpiece and I hope this turns into a full series.

I'm 120 hours in, playing through the game a second time already and I had no idea about half the things he showed in this video xD

Over 300 for me. The feeling dosent stop

you can kill almost all the folks outside stealthily before poisoning the grog - and then still get the 70xp for the poisoning - and because you already killed the ones that survive and accuse you, you don't have to pass that check outside ^.^

On my eighth playthrough I only just found out 😂

Fixing problems efficiently is agent 47's mantra

I definitely will - been through the rest of Act 1 already and I can’t wait to tackle more!

@@MarcoYoloCan we expect more meme videos on your other channel like the one you made for this section? T’was magnificent and would love to see similar compilations.

@@MarcoYoloI can't wait to watch more! This is so unique and just a treat to watch

I wonder how marco will approach the next big bad of act 2, if you played it then you may know why it may be difficult which is what makes me intrigued how marco will approach said problem

You’re not leaving here anytime soon, your mission to remove the worms stuck in your brain that wants to turn you into a monstrosity/mindflayer, you need to remove it before we can evacuate you. Everyone can be a target if necessary, but try to be decent. You don’t want people to know that you’re shenanigans. Good luck agent 47. And Good Hunting.

The chair Goblin thing is peak meta gaming. That shit made zero sense plot wise, but it's a genius way utilizing game mechanics

I reached act 3 a few days ago, and while I still love it, I have to agree with you that act 2 felt more like an appropriate climax to things. Act 3 feels odd in that it kinda vaguely feels like the story should be over by now, but it just isn’t.

I mean I just killed everything in sight. Solved the problem pretty easily. I haven't done much environmental kills yet really need to try it more in playthrough 2 but I didn't want to lose loot to the abyss.

Baldur's gate as a city is tedious and boring, it is CHOCK FULL of nothing npcs who all have a unique 1 liner that indicates you just wasted your time clicking on them. Act 1 and 2 are perfect though.@@tropicturtle9021

Same. I started murdering everyone after talking to Minthara

My first playthrough I Directly Confronted Minthara, Talked to the Goblin priestess show she led me to her lab (Where she was alone. Now fill in the blank),Then Went to the Gunpowder and wine room and grabbed everything there, Then placed them near Ragzlin's little throne room (That no longer exists now).

Look man, racism is like privilege and power, therefore you're an istik, and a Githphobe, and you're like a stochastic terrorist or something.

They're doing it to mess with people who romance her. She's the only normal, pretty girl in the party, after all. Other than her, your options are Burn Victim and Toad Girl. It's also to poke fun at the edgelords who see kindred spirit in her. I swear around the table her character is played by a 14 year old girl who dresses in all black, self harms, and claims to worship "dark gods".

@@realityveil6151 Someone didn't play through her story. She isn't a Shar worshipper. Also uh, Minthara? Did you forget about her?

@@siegfriedhiryu4660 *sigh* The terminally online rear their ugly heads once again. I was referring to the start of the game, idiot. You know, the same part of the game covered by the video? Return to your basement where you can win your imaginary arguments with yourself. Because out here, you are wrong.

@@realityveil6151self harm comments is extremely out of pocket. And you clearly did not play through to see her character development.

In one of the last areas of act 1 a dwarf mentioned something about animal food going in one container, and food for dwarfs in another. Now I’m filled with ideas that it was a hint

And I knew both of those things but didn't know that the more xenophobic druids sometimes join Kagha's side despite not being shadow druids themselves (they always joined my side during that battle).

@@Nr4747 It might have something to do with the fact that Khaga was still against you. I saw someone else do it in a way that Khaga said she was done with the Shadow Druids and joins you to fight against them.

@@AleksandrStrizhevskiy I had both outcomes so far (Kagha joining/fighting you), but in both cases, the 2 more xenophobic druids still fought against the shadow druids. Maybe it depends on other actions or maybe it got changed in a patch.

@@Nr4747 in fairness, this fight happened _before_ the conversation finished. kagha was probably still on team druids instead of team evil

Miss out on lots of loot!

​@@karara5532I mean yeah, that's the downside, but honestly there's so much loot available that you can live without. Honestly, as long as your martials have magic weapons you can get through the entire game with just that

Used that strategy on Auntie Ethel as a halfling in early access, before size was put into the equation. Hilarious!

bald man killed by boulder on his way to baldur's gate.

Baldurs Gated from the game

Baldur - but at what cost?

That incident is still infamously called... the Boulder Gate

Baldur's wipe...

100 hours in and I have the same question!

There's several places in the game you can do this

Reminds me of Kingdom Come Deliverance 🤣

yup since the game first came out in EA lol

yeah, basic poison low dmg, wyvern poison 3/4 hp, drow poison for instant kill i think

you miss out on her loot tho

@@IcoOst she has great loot

@@IcoOst this is why you blow her up with smokepowder barrels instead so you can still loot her LOL

@@IcoOst Agent 47 is a man of conviction and ingenuity, he has no need for "loot".

You could have recruited her if you knocked her out instead.

You haven't played Balder's Gate until you've had sex with a mind flayer.

THE GAME DIDNT ALLOWED ME TO FUCK A GOBLIN 😭😭😭😭😭😭

only problem is some romances only start very late into the game and others aren't so clear. Some characters allow for one-time flicks, while other times the game suddenly treats you as committed to one character.

Idk I felt like BG3 pigeonholed me with dialogue options at every turn :/ Like, if you play an origin character, the dialogue options don't really account for their personality. If you're playing Astarion or Shadowheart then picking snarky/sarcastic options doesn't work because the game can't account for that and reacts as if you chose the dialogue option completely in earnest. It makes sense, because it would suck more to pick a dialogue option and it turns out you're being an ass, but... ugh.

we love you and 47

Holy sh*t is that Agent 47?

You know I never really bothered with the shapeshifting mask except for things like squeezing through cracks that small races could fit. I never once thought it would give me racial specific dialogue options to try and social engineer my way through certain situations. Thanks for the genuinely useful tip there.

@@happyninja42 you can also use it to talk with corpses you killed! Normally corpses don’t speak to your killer but if you don’t look like yourself then they talk to you!!

@@MarcoYolo yeah i'm a little confused by the rules behind speak with dead. sometimes the body states it won't talk to the person who killed it, other times the corpse is perfectly fine with talking to the person who killed it. So what is the actual rule/mechanic that governs that? Because it seems to be random as hell.

If it's unneeded, it's dead weight.

@@Kydrou it all sells. Loot goblins gonna loot it even if it sells for 1g.

@@british6771 I know, i'd carry the corpses if they had more value than necromancy XD

@@Kydrouthe hag has like 1200 gold on her, and an item that at least sees use til Act 2. Minthara’s armor is a great option for rogues as a baseline in early game, etc etc.

I'm sure if he looks in the right places he won't have much trouble coming across that loot in later parts of Act 1 ;)

I could never find the barrel of wine to poison.

​@@myrrhs01it's right next to the party

"WHY YOU BULLY ME!?" LMAO😂

Act 3 Cutted, big disappointment

@@hodenbacke55555 err no lmao act 3 is equally impressive but not as much depth as act 1, you just 100% missed out on alot of stuff

Exactly! I keep seeing all these whiney comments about it. I thought it had so many great moments! @@elliotreivax

I was overwhelmed by act 3, so many missions to get into, I def missed a few things even as obsessive as I am about completely side quests. I can understand certain complaints but for the most part Act 3 delivered

I unfortunately found out about that after recording!! Definitely have plans to make use of it in a future run!

@@MarcoYolo if you aren't too deep into act 2 then you can still go back I think

the first time I played that part, it drove me almost insane, that fight with the hob goblin, but at the time I had no idea what was possible, the second time I killed him in one round

No

there is no canonical D&D universe. Faerun is just one of many possibile settings

It is good, but the 4 halfling barbarians takes some beating...

@@neji2401 for 5e (iirc 3.5e too) Faerun is default setting, other settings need adaptation. Retroverse is one of the coolest in my expirience.

It was my first time seeing it ever and i've been an internet lurking cave troll for years, and it still made me laugh.

Hahahaha I was looking for this comment, that woke up a long-dead section of my brain. I can’t even think of how many years it’s been since I’ve thought of that video, but immediately “oh my god it’s Alfred Molina” popped into my head

Tbh if you've got good enough sneak to get close enough to shove then you should have a second to check their pockets. Not as easy but you'll miss less loot.

But watching them go is so satisfying, almost as good as loot.

Yeah but then again who cares about the loot when you are gonna kill targets in creative ways anyway. Also, in a stealth playthrough you are likely to find great loot from rare chests anyway. But seeing an enemy fall in a bottomless pit doing a Wilhelm scream (in your head) is priceless!

BM fighter 6/thief 3/gloomstalker 3 with dual handcross bows can have a 7 attack supernova round or 9 attacks with prebuffed haste. Following rounds only having 4 attacks or 6 with haste. All with sharpshooter feat, superiority die and some sneak attack for dmg boost. Archery and two weapon fighting for fightinf styles

One of my playthroughs is 5Sin/5Gloom/2Fighter build Half Orc it attacks so much use haste, bloodlust potion and stack up on crit equipment you'll see

Open hand Monk/thief rouges with double flurry of blows that can shove someone a total of 40 ft per round. They don't even need to start *near* a cliff to be yeeted to their doom.

Now hear me out. Bards Slashing Flourish actually works as 2 attacks with ranged weapon and still consider just as attack action. So you can make 4 attacks per action with extra attack. We can wield 2 hand crossbows to also attack with left hand as bonus action. 1 action = 4 attacks action surge = 4 attacks pre-haste = 2 attack(bc no more bard dice) bonus action = 1 attack bonus action thanks to thief = 1 attack bonus action thanks to helmet = 1 attack So, 13 attacks. Which kinda sinergies a bit with Sharpshooter which would increase your ranged attack damage with flat +10. It'll take 6 levels into bard of swords, 3 levels into thief and 2 levels into fighter. If you are concerned about hit chance you can take 2 levels of barbarian instead of rogue. You will have 1 less attack, but advantage on all of them.

But i consider it gamebreaking since Slashing Flourish shouldn't work that way

Both gale and karlach got lost to my party via convos that ended in combat. So i (rog/lock) mainly use astarion (rogue/ranger) shadowheart (tempest cl 2/ storm sorc 3+) and wyll (wiz /bard/ sorc). Made laezel a shdwmnk/theif but i dont really run her. Second playthrough i hope to get the others.

Is it bad I read all that in Diana's voice?

@@DragoonZeroAlpha No, thats the intend of it.

Right!? Had NO clue about that. This game is amazing

Boulder cave is pretty far away from that encounter so...

I was super suprised that on Swamp You generaly have only HAG + the dude that want to Hunt Vampires. ... now i know ther is more :D
