Guide to Combat - czcams.com/video/9Q32QXyX4_Y/video.html
I'm using the Steam deck.
I'm confused.
I thought it would be like Final fantasy.
Things I have learned in the first day of play:
1) when jumping on what looks like a totally reachable rock in the water, and it says "death" it really means death lol
2) you start off with quite a few potions and resurrection scrolls... It isn't like tabletop where such things are rare and expensive, so use them and free up spells for things other than healing.
3) health potions are healing grenades... Actually most things are grenades. Throwing stuff is super helpful! But when a character goes down, you can chuck a potion at them and they will be fine, freeing up the healing word spell slot.
4) shoving is almost always useful. Even if it fails, you often don't have anything better to do with your reaction, so giving a good push has a chance to break concentration, make the enemy prone, or force them to take fall damage. It's great!
4) even if it isn't your main character, always keep a high charisma toon up front for random conversations, and always keep a high perception character up front when in the woods or a dungeon.
5) nonleathal damage is really only for melee attacks. Toggling it on and shooting at range or casting a spell isn't going to do what you hope... Which is a real pain when the person you want to KO is running away.
6) wildshape does not label the shapes well. As an example, spider is giant spider, not a tiny little guy for sneaking and getting into small places. Save the game, try all your shapes so you know what they actually are, and then revert the save.
7) with rare exception, the character stats and mechanics are extremely similar to tabletop, which is great! I've built out 3 of my favorite 5E tabletop characters, and they all perform much the way I expect! It's kinda awesome! If you have a preferred build, it is likely going to work as expected! And the reverse is also likely true, allowing bg3 to be a great testing ground for ideas to bring to the table.
8) I guess it depends on your DM, but the game plays much more into tactics than your typical ttrpg. Being aware of your surroundings, using topography and flammable fluids to your advantage, and just breaking away from the grid system all work much more to your advantage. The only thing that doesn't work well is moving past characters. A friendly in the doorway during combat blocks your path and doesn't yield to you like in tabletop where that is only an issue with hostiles. But other than that, the environment will generally work to your favor if you choose to use it.
9) being downed in water is not a death sentence. In tabletop, if you are KO and in standing water, it is an auto death save fail. But in the game, even in deep water, it is a non-issue and death saves roll like normal.
10) It is hard to be good, and intent does not count compared to the dice roll. With a human DM it is easy to mean well, fail a roll and not get what you want, but no real harm done for the attempt. But in this game, failure typically means they will become hostile to you, even if there is no way what you did could be seen as threatening or harmful. So when trying to do good, or evil, just remember that the game itself is largely amoral and just rewards or punishes the roll, not the intent. I find this a little game breaking for the RP aspect of the game when you are trying to help a peasant out, and they outright attack you when they don't stand a chance, but it is what it is, and you need to know how the game reacts to make more appropriate choices.
11) pressing and holding A on the controller (or interact button on keyboard) allows you to search the area instead of being fiddley about trying to click on a specific item.
Overall amazing game though! I don't get a lot of game time hours in, but in the last 2 days I've sunk in 10 hours already! That is more than I typically play in a week or two! Takes something special to have me put in that much time, and it is totally worth it!
Lol nice advice on grenade potion on fallen team mate.
I like the last one. It's like dead eye on RDR2.
11) pressing and holding A on the controller (or interact button on keyboard) allows you to search the area instead of being fiddley about trying to click on a specific item.
Oh...so the order of characters actually matters? I thought it was the character you've picked as the one you move that should be the "chosen" one with said top traits. I think I've had the game still do a push for a certain character to speak with a sudden creature or such and they were not on top of my list. I went through a passage and right as I emerged, there was a dialogue with a creature and one character kept barging in to talk, even though I had cast speak to animals on another and had them chosen as the character I moved with and opened the passage...Meh.
Re #11 what button is interact on kb?
@@phairest maybe he's talking about left alt. Holding it will highlight all items in an area so you don't have to hover your cursor over every pixel to find things that might not be plainly visible. Edit: Not *all* items, but it can be useful to see what you've already looted too
Thanks, I really needed this! It’s my first time playing a game like this.
Been seeing your comments on multiple videos regarding this game, hope you're enjoying the game! I'm on the fence whether I should get this game or not, especially since I'm not familiar with dnd
@@sinofpride6486 Same! Honestly, it looks like too much work.
@@sinofpride6486 Dont judge me but i'd reccomend doing what im gonna do. Pirate the game, play it for a few hours then uninstall and buy it if you enjoy it.
@donatotusi9140 honestly, compared to many other dnd based RPGs I think this is very easy to pick up and everything will come to you fairly easily
@@sinofpride6486 So I just dove in head first with Zero knowledge of dnd or this style of game. Took a couple of hours (playing and watching YT videos) to understand the mechanics but I can say it's worth it for me. I play a lot of CSGO/LOL but really enjoyed Zelda and TES (morrowind all the way) and this game is just a delight. Nice to be out of the salt mines for a bit and play a nice relaxing game that the Mrs honestly enjoys watching too.
Pro tip: The commander on the ship with the Everburn blade seems nearly impossible to kill in time on tactician. But you don't need to kill him to get the blade. Shadowheart has the Command spell which you can use to make him drop the blade and all you have to do is pick it up. Make sure you pick it up with your main character though.
*Edit* - Apparently you can pick it up with anyone, I had a bug where it was deleted when Shadowheart picked it up. YMMV
🗿🗿🗿🗿
That information has blown my mind. May all your rolls be Critical Success.
I wish I knew this , but I couldn't kill him in time and I moved alonge. Now I'm reluctant to start over , still sucks hehehe
@@coldtouch I wouldn't be too worried, it's a solid early weapon with a nice benefit, but you find plenty of good weapons in the first few areas. As for the burning effect, you can dip your weapons in fire (or even a candle you carry) to get this on any weapon, however it is less convenient. I personally didn't grab it because I didn't realize Shadowheart had access to command and I was too busy going full loot goblin on all the corpses in the area... the mind flayer dies surprisingly quickly on tactician if you give him no help :P
Not all heroes wear capes, thank you😊
Couch coop split screen with the wife is harder than tactician difficulty with mouse + keyboard
So true… 😂
Why?
😂
@@dominika3762try and find out
Yeah why?
Finally a beginners guide for beginners! I'm a total potato and have never played D&D before, I only heard about BG3 a few days ago and most noob guides I've tried using just left me with more questions and I'm just staring at the game with a blank stare on my face and no clue what I'm doing.
I don't know anything about turn based combat or rules or anything. So watching this has helped and things are starting to make more sense, I didn't even know about most of this stuff, so many thanks for the helpful video.
Happy to help
@15:45 If you have a look at the portraits, Shadowheart has the crossed swords indicating combat while Tav has a Downed icon with three arrows pointing up and three down, one of which is red. I didn't know what they meant before but it makes sense now as a Death Save counter, just look at the portraits and see who to prioritize for heals.
Thank you so much for this video! Several things you talked about I had no clue of - I actually got a pen and paper and took notes!!
Been playing BG3 since Early Access released and I’m still learning new things about this game. Thanx for another great guide.
Incredibly helpful, the spell slot section completely answered all my questions. Amazing work as always!
you can use your controller guys
Excellent video. I really apprreciate your intonation tricks that helps to focus on the video. Cant wait for evenly great explanation of that ability skill proficiency mess
Great video thanks for going through all this. It all makes a bit more sense now.
The amount of help this has given me as a new player is immeasurable, too many useful tips to list. THANK YOU Wolfheart!!
I watched many other Beginner's Guides and this is by far to the point and easy to follow, thank you.
Thank you for all the amazing bg3 videos Wolf! ❤
the number one tip i can give you after playing for awhile now is this and wolf you should steal this and tell people: always have a druid or a cleric with you, so if you want to have someone with you besides shadowheart who you should change to a life domain, you should reroll someone as a druid and flip flop the responsibilities, can really help a new player who is going in with to many squishies. happy hunting and loving it so far! ( difficultly tact )
Just the guide I've been looking for. Thanks!
THANK YOU for this! it is MUCH needed.
Thanks for all the great detailed videos. Loving the game so far - not that I have got for but playing a Monk for the first time and enjoying it.
Thank you for this outstanding video. I'm no stranger to D&D (I'm 63, and started playing in the early 1970s from the original pamphlets, Greyhawk, Blackmoor etc) or CRPGs, but haven't done D&D since 3rd edition. A great deal of detail to take on board in the early going in this game, and this is extremely valuable. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you! Ive been waiting for this!
This helped me sooo much thank you! Even tho it’s very basic knowledge of mechanics , that’s exactly what i needed! Much more understandable now
I’ve learned quite a few things, thanks so much!
0:33 You can also rotate the camera with Q and E. Fits quite well with using WSAD for moving it.
4:30 THANK YOU! I was looking around in the keybinds for a "Highlight all lootable objects" or similar button, but I couldn't find one.
Thanks! This answers a lot of my questions!
The best and easy to understand video guide I have seen so far, thanks!
Something that all games with a weight based inventory system should start implementing is a weight to value ratio sort option in the inventory menu. Its not that important in BG3 since you can just teleport to camp and drop stuff off to sell later but it would be extremely useful in games where you need to actually carry your items to the nearest merchant to sell.
They have this. Press tab to show entire groups inventory. Top left of the screen has a sort drop down. Press “weight” to sort by weight.
@@nichole2960they said weight to value ratio sort. So a 100 gold per pound item would come before a 50 gold per 2 pound item.
You can send stuff back to camp from the inventory by right clicking the item. No need to go back yourself.
Why trouble yourself with trivia stuffs when you have the world to save?
P. S I'm. About to start playing 😅
Good idea. You should get into game development if u have lot of them
Whole video is already worth the watch for the shift-c hotkey. Thank you.
Awesome video!! Helped me a lot! Thanks Wolf
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the great breakdown I really needed the hot bar breakdown for spells ❤
Oh my god, thank you so much! I have been struggling with this game for four days now, and completely clueless as to how to play it. (Still having a ton of fun with it, regardless). I’ve been slowly figuring it out, but you helped so much! Thanks again. ❤
Great job! This is by far the best beginners/basics guide (all the others I watched weren't basic, not organized in a logical progression, didn't explain the UI, etc.).
Thanks for watching!
Kudos Wolf! This is exactly what I needed! 😊
Cheers

this was a super helpful and useful video! thank you. I didn't play any early access so am unfamiliar with all the things you are able to do in this game, so if you make more videos like this going forward (like to what extent your character can interact with the environment and what not, or anything else) it will be greatly appreciated. Keep on the good work and content!

Thank you so much for breaking this all down

This is a really good video, I've been quite confused with a lot of the nuances of the game

Thank you alot for this great contend video! 💯
Fantastic video its helped me a lot.
Finding your channel was a godsend!!! About to really play for the first time (didn’t play much of the early access because I didn’t wanna spoil myself). New to D&D as a whole, this info is a lot to take in but you explain things beautifully. Thank you, please keep these guides coming, they are so helpful!
In case anyone else was wondering about this: I've seen someone play with controller and it controls how you expect with the camera zoomed in for a third person view. L1 I believe brings up a wheel for shortcuts
