What I've taken from this video: - Refugees are not people - Playing on explorer difficulty makes things less satisfying, pure Tactician feels better - Orin is a baddie
Durge is an origin character that’s practically the main character, and has the same themes as the other characters. Continue the cycle? Break it and be punished out of your control? (Except ofc we know what happens to good durge)
Shadowheart's 180 always made sense to me because of the line that goes something like "admitting who actually gives her power now might break her for good" after she spares nightsong. In DnD clerics power entirely comes from their deity's favor, so the fact she still has magic after defying Shar means Selune is favoring her. You kinda have to change allegiance at that point.
on one hand - yes on other hand - breaking the oath drops you to level one (with some extra steps) they could have just told you "Shadowheart is fucked, pick Paladin Fighter or Rogue as her new class"
@@xelloskaczor5051It's fine as is, since it's Shar and Selûne specifically that Shadowheart is being shoved between. Dame Aylin basically explains it when talking about the Spear of Night - All that is Shar's is Selûne's by right (and the other way, too) because they're twins.
She doesn't even really 180. Yeah, she clearly doesn't like Shar, but she states herself that she isn't going to start worshipping Selune immediately either. Her motivations in act 3 aren't to do what Selune wants, they're to do something she needs to do for herself.
They should make a special ending for this feat where the entire city and surrounding area is empty with only the sound of the wind blowing for ambience.
The next patch they said there's a few more evil endings coming and most (if not all) aren't Dark Urge specific so I'm guessing there's an ending where you wipe the "main" NPCs, factions, groups and stuff. Especially since this type of playthrough is one quite a few people like to do, if for no other reason than to just see what would happen so getting an ending where you have killed basically everyone who could and would help you in the final battle seems like a no brainer to me!
54:15 Sarevok is Durge's half-brother. He's Orin's grandfather, and father. Orin's Bhaal's Granddaughter/Great-Granddaughter. Durge's only parent is Bhaal.
Could be argued that they aren't even half siblings, considering Durges birth and the circumstances, they could be seen as just being an "aspect" of Bhaal himself rather then his actual child like mentioned in the game.
Tbh I feel like Lae’zel tries to stay loyal to Vlaak’ith but when faced with hard evidence about Orpheus and the truth is when she turned her back to Vlaak’ith, probably more out of anger to her than loyalty to Orpheus. Lae’zel = 🐐
so the devas that I killed can actually be djinns depending on which character steals the offerings! so I did miss them kind of, but I still got the encounter if that makes sense
Unfortunately he is talking about the basement of sorcerous sundries not the offering chambers. There is a hidden room where there is a djinn in a lamp that tries to trap you there forever. But even though great video man you got yourself another subscriber ❤
I mean technically you didn’t need to kill jaheria, Orín can only kidnap Lae’zel, Gale, Minthara, or Halsin. She kidnapped Yena if none of the others are available (if they are in your active party or not at your camp at all)
@@dumpykong if Jaheira is still alive and you become Bhaal’s chosen, she will confront you with some Harpers outside of the temple (I think so does Minsc if he’s in your camp but I didn’t have him yet so it was just Jaheira)
I know it's too late, but if you save Minsc as a dark urge, then become Bhaal's chosen, Minsc, Jaheira and a bunch of harpers will jump you after you kill Orin
For the bank vault, you can throw water on it and electrocute it to automatically open it with no combination shenanigans btw. It makes life easier in future runs for you :)
There's also a note upstairs, behind some red locked doors, that has the code. Or you can just learn it once, since it doesn't change between playthroughs.
1:09:01 Jesus Christ, the shot of all the bodies piled in the middle of the camp while the statue of your Tav poses heroically above them all is so chilling and horrific yet symbolic, idk how planned out that was but incredible job
fun fact: if you cast silence on him, the vocals of the background music are muted! Rafael is so narcissistic that he actually sings his own boss music.
11:16 Shadowheart becomes cleric of Selune because of her parents and her past, plus, she just betrayed Shar, so she need something to believe and find love of another god
Also neither of them immediately switch sides, Im pretty sure both of them have optional conversations about their thoughts on their situation. I remember shart having one about not knowing where her powers are currently coming from and you can be like "I've got a pretty good idea" and she'll be like "I don't want to think about that right now" Or something along those lines Even by the end of the game in the reunion Shart is still struggling with the whole Cleric of Selune thing.
When Shadowheart switched sides she didn't even realized at first, we have a piece of narration stating that we shouldn't tell her how she was still able to use her powers after betraying Shar because it would be the last straw to brake her for good. Also, she kind of need something to empower her since now she have a target on her back and her objective is inside the wasp nest.
It's literally the good end if you kill Oskar at the first act, one his wife is better off and two you don't have to do the quest, it's a win-win for everyone.
Yeah, but if you read her diary inside her vault in the Counting House, she gets with Gortash and gives him her family heirloom ring. Idk if I want to do that to Jannath either.
I know it was a kill everything run but it still made me sad when astarion, shadowheart, yenna and laezel died. i made me even sadier that you put them all to rest. thank you!
Are you sure you had to kill everyone during gortash’s ceremony? During my run, when I went in here later in the game to kill him, and the entire room was filled with bodies. It very well could’ve been the entire audience, but I’m not 100%. I applaud the effort though!!
There's a Baneite guard in the room at that point who explicitly says that Gortash killed all of the patriars after they made him Archduke. So arguably, killing Gortash at that point might save some off-screen patriars.
I love how you say "It made my eyes water and at the end I took her dead body to a nice place so that she will rest in peace....now to the SLAUGHTER👹👹👹"
Damn Esterion is such a creative and unique character! I wish they were an origin character! Edit: Holy shit, Shadowlung is so cool as well! You got a knack for this.
For the Gortash coronation scene. You kind of went through a lot of trouble for nothing. In my Durge play through I took the bargain he offered and left, after I came back (not sure if I long rested or not) every single noble and their bodyguards were murdered.
@@kingofgrim4761 that's the point of the comment, he thinks the "video maker" is wrong. And I'm not sure if it's really *every* npc, but I can confirm that Gortash will litter the floor with their corpses if you just let him do his thing off-screen
You mentioned how annoying it was to fight Haarlep in the House Of Hope. I took a strange approach to fighting him that avoided his little invulnerability trick. The thing that makes him unable to be hurt more than once per turn is a Reaction. But you can only take one Reaction per turn. So if you can make him perform another reaction first (or stop him from taking reactions), he can't do it. There are probably better solutions, but mine was to run up to him at the start of the round, and then run away from him so he would Opportunity Attack me. That uses up his Reaction for that turn, and everyone else can then beat the tar out of him. Repeat as needed.
Shadowheart and Lae'zel do not turn on a dime. Maybe if you're avoiding everything but the main story it may seem that way but Shadowheart saw a literal angel of Selune who convinced her to stay her hand AND promised more answers. Lae'zel got to actually see her prince, had a terrible interaction with Vlaakith the first time, and has had Voss approach her multiple times about subverting Vlaakith.
If you kill Oskar in act 1, then go to lady jannaths home you can see a bunch of people walking around browsing the art. I accidently killed him in one of my playthroughs and when I did reach her home it was different, the home wasn't broken, bunch of people walking around, and lady jannath showing off Oskar's art. Though that doesn't get rid of what Oskar did previously, if you go up to his paint area he still did do the dealings he made with the mummy lord and other shenanigans.
Gortash, Balduran and Voss all get a sweet piece of dragon ass but the closest we can get is Miss Dragonborn Throat Singing if we do the workaround to save Alfira 😓
@@bingonight1504 Wait, Gortash also had something going with a dragon? Or do you mean the fan-canon Durgetash, with the default Durge being dragonborn?
It’s a shame you didn’t have Gale with you, because if you don’t solve the puzzles and just fight your way through, he’ll respond to the statue congratulating you with a little poem: “A stirring verse, to rouse heroes depleted. But not for us, because we went and cheated.”
A Durge and The Emperor killing…. Well… all that remains… in the final sequence may be the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen of this game. Which says a lot. Bravo.
I really enjoyed all the videos in this series! The editing and commentary/narration was so elaborate and funny. I loved every part of it XD One thing that's been making me curious is that, although it accomplishes what was promised as best as possible, was killing the party members necessary? Technically, they're playable characters (as in "not NPCs").
When you go to confront Gortash after destroying the iron throne and steel watch foundry I'm pretty sure all the people in the coronation have been killed by Gortash, Although its possible not all of them are dead You'd have to count the bodies and make sure all the names add up. But I'm surprised you didn't mention that
Lae'zel's character makes a lot more sense if she is with you finding the Prince of the Comet stories and at the creche where she does everything according to protocol and still her queen chooses to have her killed and then what Voss tells her at the camp that night. Some decisions like these will feel hollow if you don't use them during the campaign.
As someone who doesn’t play the game but watches playthroughs, this was a great journey! Could you do this again in the opposite direction? Kill the least amount of people and make the most morally good decisions possible? Idk if that’d be boring or not, but it’d be a cool contrast to see.
LOL, the part where Raphael monologues for hours 😂. I agree he talks too much often, but dear lord, his voice is silky smooth to my ears. I wouldn’t mind him reading me bed stories.
So interesting, how your Orin encounters went. Mine went so different. Played through twice, with all companions in camp (except minthara). Orin took Halsin in my first playthrough, and Lae'zel in my second.
When you mentioned la'zel and the sunrise you reminded me of the clones during the original Star wars battlefront 2. Ayala secura congratulated the clones and the narrator mentioned he was glad they were glad they were helmets. Because none of them could bear to look her in the eye. This was before the inhibitor chips. So obviously it's implied they knew what they would have to do in the end
Never expected it could be done, but it was one hell of a ride and a good achievement. I can't even think of anyone who can do what you just did. Great content!
The fights here are a good example of why you should always pick up the Alert feat for characters with no inherent boost to intiative xD but great work! I never knew you could get a room in the Elfsong Tavern, I will need to head there asap with my party
I hope you read my comment as I feel it lacks in other "Balder Gate's 3 challenges" but... I appreciate how detailed you went into the fight of raphael. While before you said "I won't go into details of this fight" (Wizzard) or "this was very tough to deal" with Raphael you went more into detail and that is what I look for more. I actually would like to see/know more of how the battles ensued, how you achieved it rather than see you "did it" as somebody who is mesmerized how anyone can do it. I hope there will be videos detailing more of fighting progress, instead of more "story content", if that makes sense. I truly appreciate it, because most videos like that, it makes me feel people breeze through, and I struggle and avoid with anxiety. I don't know how to explain it, but it made me feel it was more realistic how you went deep into the battles more than "I achieved it", because of course, as video releases, everyone knows you will achieve! But I am always curious how. So thank you so much for this. As a very new bad player of DnD/BG3 it gives me more insight what to do but of course, I also wish you had recording of the entire thing so I can spend 3 nights watching it nonstop!!! Hahaha. It is addicting!! Thank you for sweet content and hard work!!!
Only part way through. Love it, I can't believe the amount of work you put in just to get where I am. With the Judge in wyrms way, I believe putting a sussur bloom next to it turns it into a wraith which is kill-able. But I absolutely accept banished as good enough
This run kind of made me realise why Paladin is the most popular class according to data Yea it kinda do be trivializing the game really hard on pre tactican (or even pre honour) difficulties, on top of having good conversation skills
been waiting for this. started my own "kill everyone" run on honor mode, inspired by this; I'm most of the way through act 2. Looking forward to losing my honor in act 3 due to this challenge. (I haven't been as completionist as these videos; my standard is "can i walk around the world and nobody is left to fight", so some people disappeared for plot reasons. Still killing a lot of people I've never fought before. Also minthara gets to live, to rule alongside me. I'm not a monster.)
Hooly shit dude, not only was that challenging from a gameplay experience, but the editing and the EMOTIONAL butchering it must have put you through. I'm so glad I was able to watch this challenging from start to finish, absolutely incredible work!
it's crazy to say but i also felt. incredibly attached to la'zel by watching ur play through. seeing you and ur durge watching the sunset made me a lil emotional wise even I knew what had to be done
So FTR you didn't have to kill Jaheira when you did in order for Yenna to be captured, because Orin can only take Gale, Laezel, Halsin or Minthara hostage. She also won't kidnap anyone you are in a romance with or anyone in your party. Since you didn't have Halsin, Minthara or Gale at this point you just needed to keep Laezel in the party to force her to kidnap Yenna.
34:45 you don’t have to do the coordination immediately. you can enter baldurs gate and still progress gortash’s story. so it is possible to get those unique kills.
@@dumpykong they will all be killed by Gortash after the coronation, so it should be fine, however I don't know if anyone have gone through and matched them up to be for sure every single one of them is there.
Man the deaths of the final companions actually made me sad. The only people Dumpheles was able to stay her hand around, allowing them to find closure…only to kill them right after. she couldn’t even spare the one she loved. In the end, she had no real mind or will of her own. All had to be as the lord of murder willed it, and she was his puppet.
i swear when act 2 came out i thought "i wonder when the 2nd video in that series is coming out" the same day, and earlier today i was thinking "it's been a while since act 2 in that murder series, i wonder when act 3 is coming out" hahaha perfect timing both times :)
Now that I finally finished the video, that Laezel montage was both beautiful and brutal. Thank you for this series, even if you made me a bit emotional. I'm even more sad that its actually over, thats how I know you did a good job, thanks again
I absolutely agree Shadowheart made a 180 way too fast, but I actually like Lae’zel’s arc. The crèche forces her to confront her beliefs in a much better way than Shadowheart does with the Nightsong. (Especially if you have her go to the zaith’isk) Basically, Lae’zel learns that she’s been lied to BEFORE she changes her mind. Shadowheart, for some incomprehensible reason, only finds that out AFTERWARD.
i think the self-doubt and shadowheart's nature as a human has always shone through despite the shar memory loss. I think it's fair that you think the transition was too quick, but I personally reading of her character made it seem like she always had internal doubts about shar.
Shadowheart made more sense to me when you romance her as you see a lot of her doubts in Shar's temple and suspicions about her childhood. Obviously, it's really hard to make every split decision make sense depending on when they happen. They could have taken the option away in Act 3 to make more sense.
I'd argue neither is rushed... Shadowheart begins to show doubt when you save the grove. I guess the problem is that you can get the play off of both changing their mind while getting to skip a lot of the moments that lead up to it.
Nice fight against Ansur. I just cheesed it by placing every explosive item I owned (smoke powder, fireworks, smokepowder barrels) next to him and throwing a fire ball at him. Almost insta killed him but still killed him before he got a turn lmao
Omg that ending was freaking awesome and i don't think I've seem anyone doing something so professional in a video game. The "credits" and the GMV really make me fell really sad for those Npc's 😢
I thought FOR SURE you would've taken the deal with Gortash so that he slaughters all of the unique lords and ladies in the coronation segment. Alas, you've overcome the adversities this challenge possessed once again! You sir are a madlad! Fantastic work haha

@@bingonight1504 Wait, Gortash also had something going with a dragon? Or do you mean the fan-canon Durgetash, with the default Durge being dragonborn?
@@LeoTheDarkAngel yea I mean durgey-worgy
Fun fact! Instead of knocking your party members out to get the djinn to spawn from the curse.
You can cast remove curse and they pop out that way!
Start a patreon dude, the effort you put into videos deserves it.
Oh my god, the accuracy about Raphael’s proposal is so real. 😂 I remember it feeling like an eternity during my first play through.
It’s a shame you didn’t have Gale with you, because if you don’t solve the puzzles and just fight your way through, he’ll respond to the statue congratulating you with a little poem: “A stirring verse, to rouse heroes depleted. But not for us, because we went and cheated.”
A Durge and The Emperor killing…. Well… all that remains… in the final sequence may be the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen of this game. Which says a lot. Bravo.
I really enjoyed all the videos in this series! The editing and commentary/narration was so elaborate and funny. I loved every part of it XD
One thing that's been making me curious is that, although it accomplishes what was promised as best as possible, was killing the party members necessary? Technically, they're playable characters (as in "not NPCs").
41:57 not to rub it in but the fact that you’re cheating on her with a mindflayer makes this so much worse
When you go to confront Gortash after destroying the iron throne and steel watch foundry I'm pretty sure all the people in the coronation have been killed by Gortash, Although its possible not all of them are dead You'd have to count the bodies and make sure all the names add up. But I'm surprised you didn't mention that
Lae'zel's character makes a lot more sense if she is with you finding the Prince of the Comet stories and at the creche where she does everything according to protocol and still her queen chooses to have her killed and then what Voss tells her at the camp that night. Some decisions like these will feel hollow if you don't use them during the campaign.
As someone who doesn’t play the game but watches playthroughs, this was a great journey! Could you do this again in the opposite direction? Kill the least amount of people and make the most morally good decisions possible? Idk if that’d be boring or not, but it’d be a cool contrast to see.
“The statue just yapps for a while” 😂😂😂
LOL, the part where Raphael monologues for hours 😂. I agree he talks too much often, but dear lord, his voice is silky smooth to my ears. I wouldn’t mind him reading me bed stories.
Now I want to know what kind of bedtime stories devils would tell…
I’m obsessed with how badass your tav looks
shes so hot its insane i was literally distracted sometimes watching the vid
So interesting, how your Orin encounters went. Mine went so different. Played through twice, with all companions in camp (except minthara). Orin took Halsin in my first playthrough, and Lae'zel in my second.
When you mentioned la'zel and the sunrise you reminded me of the clones during the original Star wars battlefront 2. Ayala secura congratulated the clones and the narrator mentioned he was glad they were glad they were helmets. Because none of them could bear to look her in the eye. This was before the inhibitor chips. So obviously it's implied they knew what they would have to do in the end
Thank you so much for your efforts, I loved this series and learned a lot about the game I wouldn't have otherwise
Never expected it could be done, but it was one hell of a ride and a good achievement. I can't even think of anyone who can do what you just did. Great content!
The fights here are a good example of why you should always pick up the Alert feat for characters with no inherent boost to intiative xD but great work! I never knew you could get a room in the Elfsong Tavern, I will need to head there asap with my party
I hope you read my comment as I feel it lacks in other "Balder Gate's 3 challenges" but...
I appreciate how detailed you went into the fight of raphael. While before you said "I won't go into details of this fight" (Wizzard) or "this was very tough to deal" with Raphael you went more into detail and that is what I look for more. I actually would like to see/know more of how the battles ensued, how you achieved it rather than see you "did it" as somebody who is mesmerized how anyone can do it. I hope there will be videos detailing more of fighting progress, instead of more "story content", if that makes sense.
I truly appreciate it, because most videos like that, it makes me feel people breeze through, and I struggle and avoid with anxiety.
I don't know how to explain it, but it made me feel it was more realistic how you went deep into the battles more than "I achieved it", because of course, as video releases, everyone knows you will achieve! But I am always curious how. So thank you so much for this. As a very new bad player of DnD/BG3 it gives me more insight what to do but of course, I also wish you had recording of the entire thing so I can spend 3 nights watching it nonstop!!! Hahaha. It is addicting!! Thank you for sweet content and hard work!!!
Only part way through. Love it, I can't believe the amount of work you put in just to get where I am. With the Judge in wyrms way, I believe putting a sussur bloom next to it turns it into a wraith which is kill-able. But I absolutely accept banished as good enough
This run kind of made me realise why Paladin is the most popular class according to data
Yea it kinda do be trivializing the game really hard on pre tactican (or even pre honour) difficulties, on top of having good conversation skills
The part with Raphael talking, the music, the clocks, just perfect, my god😂
been waiting for this. started my own "kill everyone" run on honor mode, inspired by this; I'm most of the way through act 2. Looking forward to losing my honor in act 3 due to this challenge. (I haven't been as completionist as these videos; my standard is "can i walk around the world and nobody is left to fight", so some people disappeared for plot reasons. Still killing a lot of people I've never fought before. Also minthara gets to live, to rule alongside me. I'm not a monster.)
I'm curious what class you're playing as? Haven't managed a full honor run myself yet and curious what works well
Hooly shit dude, not only was that challenging from a gameplay experience, but the editing and the EMOTIONAL butchering it must have put you through. I'm so glad I was able to watch this challenging from start to finish, absolutely incredible work!
Shadowheart's sudden demise and how he laid her to rest *broke* me man...
That bit with Raphael talking too much… priceless.
My gf and I love ur videos man. I quite literally am like “honey wake up new vid just dropped”. Keep up the grind
I really enjoyed this thankyou for all your hard work you put in 😊
I love the way you seemingly tried to be respectful to Haarlep at first, then remembered they're a devil and settled on deliberate disrespect.
WELL DONE MAN! I’ve been waiting for this!
it's crazy to say but i also felt. incredibly attached to la'zel by watching ur play through. seeing you and ur durge watching the sunset made me a lil emotional wise even I knew what had to be done
The reason shadow heart and lae zel seem to change so fast is bcs its a multi week journey to get to Balders gate
So FTR you didn't have to kill Jaheira when you did in order for Yenna to be captured, because Orin can only take Gale, Laezel, Halsin or Minthara hostage. She also won't kidnap anyone you are in a romance with or anyone in your party. Since you didn't have Halsin, Minthara or Gale at this point you just needed to keep Laezel in the party to force her to kidnap Yenna.
34:45 you don’t have to do the coordination immediately. you can enter baldurs gate and still progress gortash’s story. so it is possible to get those unique kills.
The lords and ladies at the coronation will disappear :(
@@dumpykongtragic thanks for letting me know great video!
i might actually just be wrong about this
@@dumpykong they will all be killed by Gortash after the coronation, so it should be fine, however I don't know if anyone have gone through and matched them up to be for sure every single one of them is there.
Man the deaths of the final companions actually made me sad. The only people Dumpheles was able to stay her hand around, allowing them to find closure…only to kill them right after. she couldn’t even spare the one she loved. In the end, she had no real mind or will of her own. All had to be as the lord of murder willed it, and she was his puppet.
I prefer to call it an "avatar"
Dinosaurs are there cause you got teleported to a part of Chult - another location that's part of dnd lore.
This was such a journey, but jesus this was the funniest thing ive seen in a while. It was so entertaining, good job man.
This has been a seriously impressive project!
Good to know that even in a murder campaign you still had time catch feels for your companions.
i swear when act 2 came out i thought "i wonder when the 2nd video in that series is coming out" the same day, and earlier today i was thinking "it's been a while since act 2 in that murder series, i wonder when act 3 is coming out" hahaha perfect timing both times :)
18:25 I think that if you decide to get rid of the steel watch foundry, when you head go back all of the npcs will be dead
This made my day, can't wait to watch this all the way through. Fantastic videos
This is an insane amount of work you did. My god. 10/10.
this upload made my day man, big props to you for doing everything! ❤
The amount of time this would take is crazy, gg man you deserve it
Now that I finally finished the video, that Laezel montage was both beautiful and brutal. Thank you for this series, even if you made me a bit emotional. I'm even more sad that its actually over, thats how I know you did a good job, thanks again
I absolutely agree Shadowheart made a 180 way too fast, but I actually like Lae’zel’s arc. The crèche forces her to confront her beliefs in a much better way than Shadowheart does with the Nightsong. (Especially if you have her go to the zaith’isk)
Basically, Lae’zel learns that she’s been lied to BEFORE she changes her mind. Shadowheart, for some incomprehensible reason, only finds that out AFTERWARD.
i think the self-doubt and shadowheart's nature as a human has always shone through despite the shar memory loss. I think it's fair that you think the transition was too quick, but I personally reading of her character made it seem like she always had internal doubts about shar.
Shadowheart made more sense to me when you romance her as you see a lot of her doubts in Shar's temple and suspicions about her childhood. Obviously, it's really hard to make every split decision make sense depending on when they happen. They could have taken the option away in Act 3 to make more sense.
I'd argue neither is rushed... Shadowheart begins to show doubt when you save the grove. I guess the problem is that you can get the play off of both changing their mind while getting to skip a lot of the moments that lead up to it.
I agree. If you invest time and do certain things, shadow hearts 180 makes sense, but you can still have it happen without the buildup, which is dumb
Man you did an awesome job with this series! Never knew that watching a guy kill everybody could be THIS entertaining.
Congratulations on a fantastic and massive effort and achievement. Hope you get the plaudits you deserve!
31:06 my headcannon for this scene is that she is trying to show you that you can change like she did
youtube haven't been showing me your uploads, so i just got to binge this, amazing, nice work dumpy
1:02:00 I was excited too see you turn on astarion with the gur people at the dais elevator but then I remembered you took out the gur camp on sight
This has to be the best BG3 playthrough on RUclips
Nice fight against Ansur. I just cheesed it by placing every explosive item I owned (smoke powder, fireworks, smokepowder barrels) next to him and throwing a fire ball at him. Almost insta killed him but still killed him before he got a turn lmao
So... I just binged this series in about 30 hours of Irl time. Good stuff!
Omg that ending was freaking awesome and i don't think I've seem anyone doing something so professional in a video game. The "credits" and the GMV really make me fell really sad for those Npc's 😢
30:22 isn't there a genie in a bottle in the sorcerous sundries basement?
Love your content man, super excited for act 3
Crazy close though. It's impossible to kill them all, but these 3 videos were definitely entertaining.
I thought FOR SURE you would've taken the deal with Gortash so that he slaughters all of the unique lords and ladies in the coronation segment.
Alas, you've overcome the adversities this challenge possessed once again! You sir are a madlad! Fantastic work haha
Killing Boo hurt me in a way I’ve never been hurt before
Good job! That sure was a way to experience bg3 storyline for the first time, haha
