Baldur's Gate 3 - 10 Ridiculous Things YOU DIDN'T KNOW You Can Do

foreign [Music] ly recreating The Dungeons and Dragons experience isn't something that too many games can claim to have done because video games unlike tabletop RPGs are by their very nature Limited in the amount of options they can provide you with in any gameplay or story situation or even in the ways that they react to your actions Baldur's Gate 3 is a rare and outstanding example of a game that does that with flying colors from The Narrative choices you make to the way the game changes and reacts to all of them to the vast array of gameplay tools that you have on your disposal that will allow you to tackle quests and obstacles in a multitude of ways the level of flexibility and player agency that Ballers Gate 3 boasts is very rare to see in a video game of course that level of Freedom means that there will be plenty of players who will want to be able to do the most bizarre and ridiculous things possible and there's plenty of that going on in larion Studio's newest RPG as well here we're going to talk about a few such things that you can do in Baldur's Gate 3. tell your friend to keep quiet you think let's rip them apart talk to animals I told you to go [Music] you see a name etched into the leather speak with animals does exactly what its name suggests and lets you converse with any and all manner of animals that you might come across on your adventures the results are surprisingly hilarious with different sorts of animals exhibiting unique and endearing personalities leading to some of the most memorable conversations in the game being able to speak with animals can also open up new choices and branches making it even more worthwhile talk to the Dead another spell that lets you converse with those you shouldn't ordinarily be able to talk to is speak with the dead it has some stipulations of course the corpse you casted on must still have a mouth so it can speak which means it won't work on beheaded corpses while the spell also does work on Undead creatures but like speak with animals it too can lead to some very intriguing and often quite creepy conversations speak with the dead can also open up new branches and options both in and out of quests further letting you flex your creativity manipulate the Press Baldur's Gate 3 staggeringly massive world is constantly shifting and changing and a lot of that happens on the back of the choices that you make people will react to you differently and you're standing with certain groups or areas might fall or rise quests might get locked or unlocked hell in the city of Baldur's Gate you'll even find headlines and articles and newspapers called balder's mouth talking about your exploits if however you don't like what they write about you you always have the option to take control of the newspaper through legal or illegal means and manipulate the press and in turn how people perceive You by printing whatever headlines that you want race fungus zombies a little bit of The Last of Us in your Baldur's Gate 3 surprisingly enough that's something the game allows you to turn into reality to some extent at least if you're playing as a circle of the spores Druid you eventually get the ability to use the fungal spores that constantly surround you to raise mushroom zombies that can Aid in your combat purely from a mechanic's perspective the spores subclass might not be the most powerful ones in the game but if you're looking to lend an entirely unique aesthetic to your Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough it's worth looking into get your entire party killed choice and consequence mechanics are an incredibly hard thing to pull off but Baldur's Gate 3 is a rare and often confounding example of an experience that is somehow able to take nearly everything that happens into account and just keep rolling with the punches this story will change and react to the consequences of your actions even if the most crucial characters end up dying premature deaths and that includes all of your party members as well yes you can devise ways to get them all killed if for some sadistic reason that's what you want to do a fully solo playthrough with no companions is possible larion has reassured whether that happens by not recruiting party members at all or by sending them to their deaths after joining forces with them bite a potential companion's handoff if the sadist in you wants to see your companions suffer rather than just letting them have quick deaths well there's some pretty grisly ways to do that as well infected with a mind flare parasite whoever you play as will be battling with voices in their head compelling them to do some pretty nasty things at every turn which will take different forms depending on the background of your character if you're playing as the dark urge in fact when first meeting a new recruitable companion through a portal rather than taking his hand through the portal and pulling him through you'll have the option to Simply chew his hand and end his involvement in the story right then and there shove people off cliffs and ledges Baldur's Gate 3 lets you shove people in combat as a bonus action and though it may seem like a simple enough thing to do it can actually be used in surprisingly handy and entertaining ways for instance if you find yourself on Higher Ground a cliff for a high ledge and are faced with an enemy it can be a ton of fun to simply just push them off and watch them plummet to their death without ever having to even use your main action infect yourself with more mind flare parasites getting the Mind flayer parasite inside your head is the main driving force of Baldur's Gate 3 at least in the early stages but this isn't a game that says no to you all that often even if the thing that you're asking to do is the exact opposite of what the central story premise wants you to do so if instead of curing yourself you want to infect yourself even more and completely give in to the Eldritch magic of the Mind flayer parasites you can go right ahead and do just that it comes with plenty of risks of course since the more you give in the more susceptible you become to completely losing your mind but if that's the art that you've decided you want for your character the game's not going to stop you put on musical performances every class and subclass in Baldur's Gate 3 comes with unique abilities that let you interact with the game in ways that others don't as a Bard you are of course going to be very musically inclined which means that you could just whip out your instrument and put on musical performances at any given time you might find yourself on a particularly crowded Street on the city of balder's gate and decide to put on an impromptu performance drawing a crowd and even possibly getting a little bit of gold out of it of course if you want to use that as a trap and send the entire crowd to their explosive and unexpected deaths while they're just enjoying your music you can do that as well throw people at people there's endless ways to go about dealing damage to your foes in Baldur's Gate 3 including some really creative and goofy ones you can for instance throw people at other people from corpses to other enemies or even your party members you will of course need to have enough invested in your strength stat to be able to do that but there's something strangely satisfying about flinging someone at someone else and seeing it actually work out unless the dice aren't too kind to you and it does the exact opposite of working out which can also be fun in its own
