As a point of interest, Alanah, the audience participation thing allows people in chat to cast a vote on chat options - sort of like a poll - but you as the player still make the final decision.
I'm so happy you're playing this game! You're the only RUclipsr I follow who's discovering the game for the first time. I hope you'll make a full playthrough 😊
Only took like 15 minutes because I planned the build ahead of time - three variations ready depending on Larian's homebrewing…and also because I had already established the look during EA. 😅
BG3 has rotatable 360-degree camera view, just like Larian's previous games Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2. Many isometric games don't have that. Disco Elysium, Obsidian's iso games like Pillars of Eternity, Supergiant's iso games like Hades and Transistor, all have fixed camera angle only.
But also, BG3 is NOT an isometric game. It's just that the game is zoomed out at an angle... I could easily see a mod being created for close third person perspective.
Congrats on joining in and playing BG3. Save alot esp befor entering a new area or going thru doors, etc. Very immersive and surprises aroung every corner. If you want to multi-class balance is needed but after leveling up new class you can switch back to explorer as you get more health. Game is still hard, you just have more health.
I must have spent over an hour in character customization. God I cant wait for a second playthrough when there will be more appearance mods, if this goes anywhere close to say Skyrim modding OMFG 🥰
So far I’m enjoying the game. I have never played DnD and I haven’t ever been able to get into turn based RPGs in the past but this one seems like it’s gonna be able to hold my attention….at least until Starfield comes out lol
I enjoyed Larian Studios' Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 immensely. Those games have, um, a colorful sense of humor, however, such as a soiled woman's undergarment that gives you +1 Charisma (not making this up). I wonder if BG3 has that kind of thing.
"I ain't done nothing wrong" she says moments after murdering a newborn who had done nothing wrong and merely had the bad luck of being associated with her kidnappers. I find it interesting that some choose that option, as I'd imagine they wouldn't do the same if the they were escaping human kidnappers who had a human newborn.
It's interesting that Alanah seemingly doesn't have that much DnD knowledge, as I hadn't really though about that the people I've watched previously did. There's a good deal of the mechanics and lore than they, and me, already knew. So it's interesting to see how fresh eyes look at things.
The "I'm the protagonist" made me think of how remarkably unimportant the player character is. You're effectively just a party member, everyone else can do the same things and the player can control them the same way. At least as far as I've played the player character is only really needed for the romances.
BG 1 and 2 and its expansions were developed by BioWare. Black Isle (as a subsidiary of Interplay) was in a publisher role. As to the extent of their role as publisher (i.e. logistics, marketing, additional support, staffing, development, QA etc.) wasn't clear as far as I can tell but the tools used to develop the games (i.e. Infinity Engine) was a BioWare creation. What Black Isle Studios have done in a developer capacity as far as the Infinity Engine games were concerned were the Icewind Dale duology as well as Planescape: Torment.

The amount of streamer i've seen running away from the first major fight on the ship is pathetic. They don't realise that the sword Commander Zhalk is using can be taken from him while in the fight. Stun him a few times and he drops the sword, pick it up and use it on him and he dies because he is unarmed. That sword is a monster for early levels.
I expect an hour of character creation
I got away with 1 hour she'll probably take 2.
With a game like this if it takes an hour I made great time
real close at 46 min lol

So elf Geralt. I'm not surprised.
It was really cool seeing the controller Ui. I am going to be playing this mainly on ps5
It's adorable that you thought it would only take half an hour, I was in there for a solid hour lol.
Im still creating my characters 2 days later

26:50 I don’t understand how people have zero awareness that they are being super rude. (Chat)
Game is awesome i’m about 20 hours in and can’t stop playing
I keep making new characters and then finding new stuff with the new characters, 40 hours in and I haven't left act 1...
Ahh, a Wilhelm Scream at 48:00-ish! Niiiice.

I wish I was that good for character creation, mine always end up looking the same and super generic lol
I mean all the faces are premade, finding a good looking character is super easy
Her character looks super generic tho, lol
Nothing wrong with that, just saying
More please , iv to wait till next month for the game

exactly this! not a DnD player and never liked turn-based but I love Larian and the types of games they make. this is epic
Lol good luck finishing this game before starfield my dude but I'm looking forward to it and the cyberpunk expansion
MarcoMeatball? That guy reacts to video game music.
The dragon riders are Gith, a race that had been enslaved by the squid called Mindflayers, so now they hunt them down wherever they can.

Nothing like that so far, but there is full frontal nudity as an option.

BG1 and BG2 were developed by Black Isle. BG2 and Throne of Bhaal is the absolute GOAT.

Bioware actually

🖤🖤🙏
The idea of an Elven Barbarian is funny because they live 100s of years. What anger are you still holding onto bro?
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m five months late but I’m here
I wonder how many finished the came while Alanah was stuck in Character Creation😂
on controller, damn diddnt expected that.
i struggle already on PC to keep up with all the different skills
You used the same name here that you did in Starfield - Caerwynn. May I ask why?
I was wondering when you were going to play this.
Y... you killed Us? You monster 😭
She's so california now
wait . . . this isn’t a hack and slash button masher game?
thats zorro (OP) ?
57:23 wa-
56:32 R.I.P Us. He could have been your best friend.
Saw a chatter write to just create Geralt of Rivia, what his class be?
Eldritch Knight?
Pact of the Blade Warlock?
Eldritch Knight for sure
What is it with female players and Elves? Every single female player walkthrough I have seen has them playing Elves! I’m not female but Elves are my least favourite race, the males can’t even grow facial hair!!
They’re hot
I liked this game until I saw the actual gameplay 😅
It’s definitely not for everyone. It helps if you’ve played Larians other titles and know what to expect combat wise.
The gameplay is peak
its just frustrating watching someone else play games like this
For kids who only play shooters - maybe its like that, but it is engaging and it is like chess but with context and choice

how would people realise that...?
Pathetic is a strong word lmao relax
So edgy, we're all so impressed at your elite gaming skills.
@@LilyMoonWitch where have you been for the last year, wallowing in your own muck.
You're one year to late lol.
You can tell a noob when they even consider true strike.
Also, she didn’t see the all colour check box in eye and skin colour.
I feel like you spend way too much time in character creation.
