Pro tip: You can customize when the Reaction popups trigger for each ability individually -- for instance, a Paladin can set it so Smites go off automatically on crit and nothing else. Or set it to ask with a popup, but only on crit (Paladins typically want to save smites for crits anyway). Getting your friends to customize their reactions this way should eliminate some of the constant pausing during combat!

One thing that is also an incredible tip! Go to settings and there is a setting to make it so when a party member initiates a chat, you auto listen in so you don’t have to worry about missing the start of their chat (unless you are in a menu)

The spore bulette was legendary! Can't wait to see what crazy corpses the spore druid can recruit.

Definitely the most underrated Baldur's Gate content I've seen so far. Keep it up my guy.

Pro tip: have friends Pro tip2: have friends that play dnd

I love your channel so much man, very informative and fun to watch, can't wait to see the group playthrough if it comes out!

I think multiplayer is where your channel will really shine. You have a great crew with a good sense of humour. Really looking forward to seeing your playthrough

"My cankles!" 😂

Hoping you get the recognition you truly deserve, wishing you the best

The only thing I wish they would change is everyone interacting in the dialogue, like if our parties leader is a bard and a goblin in talking shit me as the 7ft tall lizard should be able to intimidate him, not just the bard rolling for stats he doesn't have just like we don't send our wizard to turn off traps or unlock doors.

3 more days, very excited to play and see the shenanigans you get up to in this game

First great video. Second Thinking about it the one thing I would say that was kinda covered (but I still want to say lol) is to try to decide as group what your going to lean towards when dealing with big decisions. For example the Druid camp vs the goblins. Having 2 people go around trying to do both is going to lead to a lot of dead bodies and probably cause tension so discussion about what to do before and during can help alot. (Speaking from experience)

Appreciate this, have a LAN planned with some friends. We have played DND and Divinity Sin together already but its good to get a refresher before Thursday.

Excited for you guys to play the final game together now that it's out!

Playing a throw barde for my second EA playthrough, I feel you on your party of bard, can't wait for the streams!🎉

Commenting for the algorithm. Great content man, keep it up

all this advice was on point and perfect 😂

First person I've ever enabled the notification bell for subscribing. I want to see every moment of your co-op playthrough.

If you trigger a cutscene you can just press the ear on the left and listen in. you dont rob anyone of anything...

I think before you jump to a multiplayer game with others you need to have a conversation between and agree on some ground rules. It's like having a session 0 with D&D group. I wish someone would make a video about this, but i think it is essential to making sure that everyone is gonna have a fun time.

I play a fighter with my friend being the main character. Since I'm only there to chop people up and once in a while Bean a random with an Arrow to head by accident I honestly just read a Book or Manhwa irl while he fucks around(sometimes literally) in town Been reading Blood Meridian lately, I want to try Dark Urge and play Judge Holden, the Bard Since he's literally a jack of all trades in the book

you don't need a dedicated healer imo. healing word is major but healing pots are plentiful and short/long rests are free as heck to use. those spell slots you'd use for healing that could be better spent on buffing/cc/damage.

Super useful, thank you! Would you happen to know how Paladin oaths work in multiplayer? If I'm playing paladin and another party member performs an action that would break my oath, does that affect me? Thanks

Would you advise using then same character for solo/multi-player plays or having 2 separate character to keep things balanced for the multi-player team?

My group of 4 started yesterday, but we all created Custom Characters. Is it better if we select Origin characters in our first play through? We're thinking we may miss out on a ton of story. Just need a recommendation as to if doing all 4 custom will be a better experience or all Origin or if it even makes a difference.

Hope you use bg3 to push yoir channel, i like what you have done so far and won't mind more similar content.

lol other than the actual hotkeys etc this is all good advice for general DnD players

now. If only I could let my friends custom characters join me in the middle of a campaign. Without perm leaving behind their characters.. Maybe get them to sleep at camp or something..

If I play this with a friend can we both make different choices and get our own storylines different? Or do we togther have to choose 1 option?

Oh no! I was planning on making a lore bard/paladin for a tanky front liner who can help his team make hits/make enemies miss...every attack made by me and every attack made my my allies and every attack made by an enemy is going cause a pop up because of smite or cutting words...bet that gets old quick

Thanks!

Sorry just to confirm...if me and my mate buy this game start it together same day creating our custom characters we cannot finish the story together ? So if he always joins my game when we finish the game only i technically have finished it, meaning he gets no story trophies/achievements or story progression nothing ? And if i can't play cause im busy he can't continue and do side quests or explore alone, then when I come back we just continue the main story? For example is it like the borderlands games where you do main story together and I (the host) leave to go bed, other players can continue playing side quests leveling up and that not doing story missions, then when I come back we continue the story. Or is it like we do 10 story missions together I go off-line, does he lose all those 10 missions we did together, so if he wants to go do side missions in his own game while im not there, all those missions we did are gone for him in his game if he decides to play alone...if so that's shit as and we won't be getting it...could anyone please confirm for us Thanks

you did not answer the basic questions i had when looking for this kind of video. 1. how soon can you play coop? at start of game or is it like ff14 stylel? 2. is coop drop in and out friendly or are you locked in to only being able to progress campaign if everyone present

Fantastic video, definitely going to help stop me and my party from making some of the same mistakes you guys encountered 😂 Really looking forward to watching your campaign when I’m not engrossed in my own! Thanks man

What do you recommend using for voice chat while playing BG3?

I would suggest to get likeminded people to play with you

me and my sister are having the worst time. it keeps thinking shes the main character when im hosting. i cant use the camp chest at all. and if i reload a save i cant control characters anymore i have to restart the game completley then reinvite her.

Hi guys! Is there a way to split npcs in our group between control of 2 people? Currently i have a team of me and my friend with 2 bots. And as a host i control all the NPC's. Is there a way to give control over one of the nots to my friend?

How do you access in game chat?

Oh, I only have one question: where do I find people to play it multiplayer with

simpler to just play your first run for story solo, and leave multiplayer for that experience alone.

Can you play with mods with your friends ?

0:20 where is this from?! o:

Fk friends! BG3 is a game that I'm going to consume on my own!

So basically, play like it's D&D. :)

Idk man I tried to play Divinity 1 and 2 and it’s was hard to play this game coop. I could just be me but there’s way too much downtime between fights to keep two people interested for long enough. Too much going on to feel like it’s a shared experience. I wanna buy this game but I feel like I’m just going to be playing it solo like both divinities. There’s no way I’m going to be able to not bore my wife to death trying to experience this whole thing.

first of all... what's Guidance?

Man, love your videos, but this have to many spoilers :(

I appreciate the tips, thank you for that, but bro spoilers, your video is full with spoilers D:

All this hype for a turn based 😂😂😂

spoilers with what couldve been a funny froggo moment for me fuck me i guess ill stop the vid here thanks

Your video would be easier to listen to if you didn’t talk with so much vocal fry.
