Watch the incredible Baldur's Gate 3 opening cinematic and see how the story of Larian's upcoming Dungeons & Dragons RPG kicks off! #ign #gaming #baldursgate3
@@GabrielArchon They're literally the worst, but I get what you mean. When it showed the carving of their bygone glory days and when the mind flayer looked at its dead kin, I almost felt sorry for it. It was all alone and desperately trying to keep its species alive.
nan black dragon are far worst since they won t just kill you out right they make you suffer for days and when they are bored they finish you off whit acid
Yes it was a outstanding detail, the type of details that you imagine when you read about it, but putting on the screen those details it's something amazing.
Tom van de Merbel : actually not so much. The designer was Jeff Grubb who came up with the original design (1989) and said he was largely inspired by Jules Verne. I don’t doubt it’s moderately Giger inspired, but there’s never been any evidence he had anything to do with production.
>other universes: let's keep it low key, focus on personal stories and politics >D&D: did U mean SOME ASTRAL THUGS JUMPING THROUGH PORTALS ON DRAGONS, CHASING A GIANT SQUIDSHIP?
Most fantasy doesnt really keep it low key tho. In almost all fantasy books Ive read the whole world is at stake. I actually prefer more grounded fantasy, which is sadly much more rare. To each their own tho.
YES! Not just me then? That's a Nautiloid-class? Being chased by Githyanki on red dragons, using astral jumps to keep up with it... That's a lore-referencing explosion of awesome I never thought I'd see either.
Always been a problem with cRPGs. "YOU HAVE TO DO THIS AS SOON AS YOU CAN!" "Uh huh, let me spend a few months helping all these other random schmucks so I get a big pile of gold and equipment first." I mean BG2, your childhood best friend gets kidnapped and put into a prison/lunatic asylum. So what do you do? "Spend a few months grinding up 20,000 gold and leveling."
@Nick Kempster Yanki. They seldom ride the red dragons, as they hunt for illithids in the name of vengeance, and allegiance to their lich queen. Zerai keep to themselves and follow a bit more isolated, peaceful lifestyle. From what I remember at least.
@Nick Kempster In theory, red dragons are almost always Evil, and Gythyanki tend to go this way, too. In Forgotten Realms, anyway. But throw an Illithid into that, and weird alliances could be forged. So...
@SonOfOdin I'd recommend watching critical role to get a better understanding of what it is, and maybe reading the books and telling some friends, it's great :D
@SonOfOdin critical role is a series here on YT, if you dont have friends irl to play with, i recommend you sign up for roll20, you can play dnd with other people on your computer.
Spelljammer has always been one of my favorite settings, even though I've never played second edition. The sheer craziness of some of the stuff in it (biological squid ships like featured in the trailer, galley-style planetside ships floating through space, giant space hamsters and pygmy giant space hamsters) boggles the mind, but none of it feels out of place.

And results in full transformation into an Illithid, though sometimes the process doesn't quite go right (or goes horribly right?) and results in other outcomes, some of which are the precursors to new elder brains.

Larian confirmed that the guard we saw very rapidly transforming in the teaser trailer was subjected to some new kind of rapid version, and the version we get as players is likely different too. My two guesses- one, that the pool we see him fishing tadpoles out of was somehow involved in the process, and that when the dragon here burns it, it interrupts or otherwise slows that process.

If I were the Illithid, sure getting more Illithid would be great. But I'm interested in conquest. So if I take over a nice little smattering of powerful folks- a couple of humans, a Githyanki, a half-elf, etc etc- and use them as sort of Manchurian Candidate brainwashed spy-agents, then that's potentially EXTREMELY useful to my plans, maybe even more so than another single Illithid. So maybe we're not going to start any kind of transformation right away, and maybe that's all part of the plan... we'll have to see!

technically its a Dreadnaught Nautiloid but i'm too stoked at someone mentioning/noticing a Githyanki. the bitter rivalry of them and Mindflayers!!!! its epic
Ya I think they said that was because the Writer guy blew so much time making the last season that they didn’t have the budget to deliver the dragon fights they led fans to believe would come.
Basically: 1) the squid people enslaved all sorts of humanoids that they decided too weak to turn into more squid people yet too physically weak to be brainless puppets. 2) Those slaves get side-effected by ageless eons of psionics and astral presence to become green, get long ears and have their own minor psionic TK power. 3) a lich queen frees them, with a deal to Tiamat to command several red dragons as well. 4) former slaves and red dragons are now on a hunt for remaining squids after nearly exterminating them from existence. Lemme know if I missed anything in the summary.
DM: As you enter these forlorn halls you are immediately attacked by three mindflayers in the front room. Ok, everyone roll for initiative. (Everyone rolls for initiative. PC Wizard goes first) PC Wizard: I cast Fireball at the mindflayers. DM: Are you sure you want to do that? The front room in which you are all in is relatively small. PC Wizard: I didn't ask how big the room was. I SAID I cast Fireball.
Second turn DM: surprisingly, you are still alive; What do you do? PC Wizard: I cast Fireball again. DM: What? Are you sure? PC Wizard: Positive. Fireball.
So uh, who am I rooting for in this? Not a word spoken and I am already compelled by the characters of the Flayer, the captive, and the pursuers. The emotion in their quick gestures is impressive. I would love to see this sequences storyboards! ...I'm gonna watch it again :P
After the cinematic ends, the game starts. The player character is one of the captive prisoners on the flayer ship. You are rooting for your party to defeat the evil mindflayer threat to save the city of Baldur's Gate and perhaps Faerun as well & The Sword Coast.
I understand what you feel, but they were Giths in Planescape : Torment, BG2, Throne of Bhaal, Hordes of the Underdark and NW2. But they were never involved in the main plot indeed
Gavin Wadsworth Maybe we will see some more spelljammers and not just the mind flayers version, we may even end up going into space for a short bit, probably very short as I’m sure this will take place mostly in the sword coast like usual
"Zoidberg, you can't dominate the universe, they said, you aren't COMPETENT enough they said.. AND SO I FLAYED THEM! Now who has the big phlangies EHHH?!"
@@rsguth Even Smaug have body like Wyvern. According to Tolkien, Smaug still Fire Dragon family. Worm, wyrm, serpent, drake, and dragon. I thought it was same. But, Worm doesn't have wings. For example Glaurung The Father of All Dragons.
@@kassandradrayer983 Personally I really like the githyanki. I love their whole space pirate thing, and as a whole I feel like they're a lot more fleshed out than the githzerai. I'm actually playing a githyanki arcane archer rn that I modeled after Space Dandy.
The Mind Flayers once ruled a vast, multi-galaxy spanning empire. However, the Aboleths, the eldest beings in existence, possessing an unbroken memory of everything that has ever happened, ever, *have no memory of it.* Meaning that either the Mind Flayers somehow purged the Aboleths' memories of it, or the Mind Flayers are time travelers, and the Empire happens in the future. *That means that this could all just be the prelude for the dawn of the Mind Flayer Empire.*
Githyanki, you horrid, semi-immortal slavers and lich worshippers from another plane, thank you for being more devoted to the eradication of the OTHER horrid slavers from another time than murdering us. Thank you.
They could be Githzerai and I am leaning to think they are. Githyanki often use silver swords that can change shape, while the ones in the video were all unarmed, just like Githzerai (most of them are monks) would be EDIT: although, would make no sense that they'd ride evil dragons and i THINK ithat the githyanki had more reasons to be at war with the Illithid
Ceremorphosis... read about it in the 3.5 edition sourcebook "Lords of Madness." Never thought I'd see how it begins in a game... Excuse me while I go throw up. :S
@@lilrosebush Lords of Madness was a 3.5 supplement all about aberrations. It was like a monster manual but where different aberrations got entire chapters instead of 1/2 page entries that detail their biology, societies, variant formes, relations with other species, etc. The Illithid chapter explains how new Mind Flayers are born (made?), and it's basically what you see in the video. A tadpole is forcibly inserted into the host, and it slowly gestates in their brain and becomes a mind flayer
@@seneris Correct. To summarize the entry in "Lords of Madness," the tadpole is inserted in the eye of the victim/host (normally a captured humanoid), as shone in this cinematic, but can also be inserted in the victim's ear or nostril. From there, it burrows through the host's skull and devours the gray matter of the host's brain, which nourishes the tadpole and allows it to grow at alarming rate. After several days (maybe about a week; the length is not specified), the massively growing tadpole has consumed all of the victim's brain up to its lower brainstem, which the tadpole becomes "neurologically melded" with the remainder and takes over the host's body, turning it into a full-blown illithid.
As a huge fan of D&D, and an individual who is obsessed with D&D lore (especially mind flayers) I can say with absolute certainty: This is the coolest thing I have ever seen
I've never really seen much done with the Illithid race in games (not the table-top games you play at home or in game stores, but MMOs and games like this), so it's nice having them be a central part of something. They're my favorite race too, and since the tadpole in your brain is a major plot-device, I plan on trying to make a character either become a Mind Flayer or the equivalent of one, since becoming an Illithid probably means you lose the game. That'd be my guess, anyways.
in short, the squid guys abduct people to turn them into more squid guys (illithid/mind flayer). However, the yellow girl and her species (Githyanki) wage eternal war against the illithid, even making a deal with the devil for dragon allies. The Githyanki are not nice, but they're less "not nice" than the mind flayers. (Edit: Githyanki are also space pirates).
@@Sothpawman No matter how much I love those cRPG style game...I'd rather play Divinity Original Sin 2 again honestly. That kind of gameplay just didn't age well, whether you like it or not. Even the games that try to revive that genre (Pillars of Eternity) bring enough new elements to make it modern. If you think Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are just so perfect, then you should just replay them, because no matter what, if the third one is a bit different, you're probably going to hate it anyway.
This has been one of the most satisfying trailers I have ever seen. Had you also squeezed in an astral dreadnaught I would have passed out from over excitement.
Hot damn. I've watched this back to back about 3 times now. This cinematic is absolutely top tier. They did not need to go that hard making this, but I'm so glad they did
Stuff WoW best trailer intro still has to be for its time Onimusha 3 intro trailer. 4K version on CZcams still holds up to this day.

@@MrLockdd chuckle. I've seen those... and I hold by my appraisal. WOW used to have the only cinematics worth talking about back in the day, now... they're... a... little... pedestrian. (Shadowlands wasn't great; Runs from the wow-boy flames!) ;)
@@VladTepes151 Chris Perkins, when referring to his new D&D liveplay show [D&D Presents], said he's "going to include things from books that haven't been released yet, like Spelljammer." So seeing as he works on the dang things I'd say it's pretty much confirmed.
While i agree this is top top quality stuff, and are more excited about this game than the upcoming diablo 4 from blizzard, the intro cinematic for diablo 4 is by far the best intro cinematic ever made in my humble opinion :) check it out if you haven't already.
I have a crashed one my players are heading toward (they don't know that it's a Nautiloid, just that there's an artifact they need from somewhere). I actually didn't know whether or not images of them existed, so I drew my own version of it using the description in Mordenkainnens Tome of Foes and seeing pretty much the same thing made me FLIP.
I wonder if I should stat those tendrils How does it "beam" you up? Is it a dex or con save? Wis or int? or does it simply deal more damage than the avarage commoner/guard can manage and teleports you if it knocks you out? I lean towards the latter. Maybe it doesn't even do damage and just works like the sleep spell.
@@oOPPHOo Once, while my group was in Mechanus, they fought a homebrew mechanical jailer who could magically stun them and teleport them into nearby Jail cells where previouly captured demons or mindflayers would naturally try to kill them. The cell doors were magical barriers, so they could break or dispel it, but they had to contend with the prisoners first just so they could escape. It got very Chaotic to say the least.
@@BionicDirector117 You believe correctly, but it appears that the Nautiloid ship in this was Plane Shifting (perhaps to the Shadowfell?) to escape the Githyanki, which is not usual for Spelljamming vessels (which only allow travel between the Phogiston and other crystal spheres).
@@misterjoshua5720 If memory serves, Nautiloids didn't have actual tentacles either; this might be something new. Or... well, very very old, given the Illithids' history.
@@Psychohistorian42 Looking at some of the old art, it appears the ships had a prow ram that was made to look like twisted together tentacles. But that sounds boring and the illithids deserve a more noodley vessel, I think we can all agree! :)
I know nothing of DnD lore or Forgotten Realms or even any of the previous Baldur's Gate games, but damn, this looks refreshingly awesome. And Larian developing? Oh my stars.
Trust me, what they just depicted in this trailer was some of the most obscure and awesome lore in the books, and they depicted it faithfully! You have every right to be hyped :D
That was so awesome. It's been 20 years since BG2, the best CRPG of all time; "Ah, the child of Bhaal has awoken...". Mindflayers are some of the toughest foes in the D&D universe, you need protection against charm/domination etc. to have a chance, your best bet though is to edge towards the fog of war slowly to try and pull one at a time.
Or you could summon some undead. Undead are immune to both psionics and life drain so the Illithids can barely do anything by themselves. If they have umberhulks they still stand a chance, but alone they are screwed.
According to "Lords of Madness," an illithid tadpole (what those worm-looking things were) can be inserted through the eye as well as the nose or ear. Either way, the tadpole needs to reach the host's brain, where it devours gray matter and finally attaches to the brain stem, which is when it finally format's the host brain and becomes a full-grown illithid/mind flayer.
This makes me so happy. I've been watching a lot of lore videos from people like A.J. Pickett and Mr Rhexx about spelljammer, planescape, and similar topics, so I actually know what's going on! I love crazy fantasy like this that goes way beyond just swords and horses and the occasional wizard, and here they have realized that fantasy very well.
Would be kickass if we got a series of this quality, but with the current situations I seriously doubt anyone dares to try! Least we'll get this utter gem of a game!

3) a lich queen frees them, with a deal to Tiamat to command several red dragons as well.
4) former slaves and red dragons are now on a hunt for remaining squids after nearly exterminating them from existence.

I love the CGI, but I'd say they use a similar engine if not the same, coz this looks on par with Blizzards. Btw, which Bliz games do u play?
its hard to put this one above the diablo 4 trailer. but its damn near close as hell
No it's not. It's significantly beneath Blizzard's recent outputs such as Diablo 4 Intro and WoW Shadowland's opening.

@@juvenileygo You know you're physically capable of using the word "they" right?
OMG, the most suspenseful trailer I've ever seen. If only this was a full-length movie. TAKE MY MONEY!
The Mind Flayers once ruled a vast, multi-galaxy spanning empire. However, the Aboleths, the eldest beings in existence, possessing an unbroken memory of everything that has ever happened, ever, *have no memory of it.* Meaning that either the Mind Flayers somehow purged the Aboleths' memories of it, or the Mind Flayers are time travelers, and the Empire happens in the future. *That means that this could all just be the prelude for the dawn of the Mind Flayer Empire.*
Great theory they could also secretly be older than aboleths though right?
or, alternatively, they're just the best liars known to all living things. the genius squidfaced bastards
Stop trying to be overly dramatic. You even failed to explain it properly.
The mindflayer itself. Thank you
Man that sounds so cool
Githyanki, you horrid, semi-immortal slavers and lich worshippers from another plane, thank you for being more devoted to the eradication of the OTHER horrid slavers from another time than murdering us. Thank you.
For real, the humans are like, "Maybe if we stand still, neither of them will see us."
They could be Githzerai and I am leaning to think they are. Githyanki often use silver swords that can change shape, while the ones in the video were all unarmed, just like Githzerai (most of them are monks) would be
EDIT: although, would make no sense that they'd ride evil dragons and i THINK ithat the githyanki had more reasons to be at war with the Illithid
Ceremorphosis... read about it in the 3.5 edition sourcebook "Lords of Madness." Never thought I'd see how it begins in a game... Excuse me while I go throw up. :S
Uhhhhh explain!!
@@lilrosebush Lords of Madness was a 3.5 supplement all about aberrations. It was like a monster manual but where different aberrations got entire chapters instead of 1/2 page entries that detail their biology, societies, variant formes, relations with other species, etc. The Illithid chapter explains how new Mind Flayers are born (made?), and it's basically what you see in the video. A tadpole is forcibly inserted into the host, and it slowly gestates in their brain and becomes a mind flayer
@@seneris Correct. To summarize the entry in "Lords of Madness," the tadpole is inserted in the eye of the victim/host (normally a captured humanoid), as shone in this cinematic, but can also be inserted in the victim's ear or nostril. From there, it burrows through the host's skull and devours the gray matter of the host's brain, which nourishes the tadpole and allows it to grow at alarming rate. After several days (maybe about a week; the length is not specified), the massively growing tadpole has consumed all of the victim's brain up to its lower brainstem, which the tadpole becomes "neurologically melded" with the remainder and takes over the host's body, turning it into a full-blown illithid.
@@civilwildman damn... is it removable?

As a huge fan of D&D, and an individual who is obsessed with D&D lore (especially mind flayers) I can say with absolute certainty:
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen
Tigerbomb Oh I can imagine. You probably never expected to see anything as glorious as this, in full CG no less!
That Wilhelm scream at 3:01 🤣
Wow, it's so faint compared to the other screaming that I'm surprised you noticed it!
Oh yeah; I didn't even notice it. Maybe it's just a sound-alike?
Mshojat no its a wilhem scream, noticed it the first I saw it on the pax video
And that's why they call it Dungeons and Dragons. Illithids always freaked me out, I am very excited for this.
This looks so great! The Illithids are one of my favorite D&D races and pieces of lore. Love to see a game finally exploring this!
I've never really seen much done with the Illithid race in games (not the table-top games you play at home or in game stores, but MMOs and games like this), so it's nice having them be a central part of something. They're my favorite race too, and since the tadpole in your brain is a major plot-device, I plan on trying to make a character either become a Mind Flayer or the equivalent of one, since becoming an Illithid probably means you lose the game. That'd be my guess, anyways.
@@Razshagaul Man it would be awesome if you could keep playing as the illithid :D
I don’t even know what this is and it gave me so many chills when they flew in on those dragons
That, my friend, was a dragon.
maksphoto78 hahaha hobbit smooth reference 😳
in short, the squid guys abduct people to turn them into more squid guys (illithid/mind flayer). However, the yellow girl and her species (Githyanki) wage eternal war against the illithid, even making a deal with the devil for dragon allies. The Githyanki are not nice, but they're less "not nice" than the mind flayers. (Edit: Githyanki are also space pirates).
Awesome trailer, this game is going to rock.

That kind of gameplay just didn't age well, whether you like it or not.
Even the games that try to revive that genre (Pillars of Eternity) bring enough new elements to make it modern.
If you think Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are just so perfect, then you should just replay them, because no matter what, if the third one is a bit different, you're probably going to hate it anyway.
@STE1THxD They had a pretty lengthy gameplay reveal today so you can already see what the game's going to be.
This has been one of the most satisfying trailers I have ever seen. Had you also squeezed in an astral dreadnaught I would have passed out from over excitement.

I actually didn't know whether or not images of them existed, so I drew my own version of it using the description in Mordenkainnens Tome of Foes and seeing pretty much the same thing made me FLIP.
@@ViktorTheMusician there are images of them from old Spelljammer books/modules.
I wonder if I should stat those tendrils How does it "beam" you up? Is it a dex or con save? Wis or int? or does it simply deal more damage than the avarage commoner/guard can manage and teleports you if it knocks you out? I lean towards the latter. Maybe it doesn't even do damage and just works like the sleep spell.
@@oOPPHOo Once, while my group was in Mechanus, they fought a homebrew mechanical jailer who could magically stun them and teleport them into nearby Jail cells where previouly captured demons or mindflayers would naturally try to kill them. The cell doors were magical barriers, so they could break or dispel it, but they had to contend with the prisoners first just so they could escape.
It got very Chaotic to say the least.
Looks like a Spelljammer ship. Overall, this looks awesome.
Nautiloids are a type of spelljammer I believe.
@@BionicDirector117 You believe correctly, but it appears that the Nautiloid ship in this was Plane Shifting (perhaps to the Shadowfell?) to escape the Githyanki, which is not usual for Spelljamming vessels (which only allow travel between the Phogiston and other crystal spheres).
@@misterjoshua5720 If memory serves, Nautiloids didn't have actual tentacles either; this might be something new. Or... well, very very old, given the Illithids' history.
@@Psychohistorian42 Looking at some of the old art, it appears the ships had a prow ram that was made to look like twisted together tentacles.
But that sounds boring and the illithids deserve a more noodley vessel, I think we can all agree! :)
Mister Joshua I believe the ships could teleport within the spheres just not from one to the other
I know nothing of DnD lore or Forgotten Realms or even any of the previous Baldur's Gate games, but damn, this looks refreshingly awesome. And Larian developing? Oh my stars.
Trust me, what they just depicted in this trailer was some of the most obscure and awesome lore in the books, and they depicted it faithfully! You have every right to be hyped :D
That was so awesome. It's been 20 years since BG2, the best CRPG of all time; "Ah, the child of Bhaal has awoken...". Mindflayers are some of the toughest foes in the D&D universe, you need protection against charm/domination etc. to have a chance, your best bet though is to edge towards the fog of war slowly to try and pull one at a time.
I cheesed those mined flayer areas in the sewers so hard
Or you could summon some undead. Undead are immune to both psionics and life drain so the Illithids can barely do anything by themselves. If they have umberhulks they still stand a chance, but alone they are screwed.

@oh... Wow...
According to "Lords of Madness," an illithid tadpole (what those worm-looking things were) can be inserted through the eye as well as the nose or ear. Either way, the tadpole needs to reach the host's brain, where it devours gray matter and finally attaches to the brain stem, which is when it finally format's the host brain and becomes a full-grown illithid/mind flayer.
