Baldur's Gate 3 - 15 More of the BEST Tips for Beginners

so recently I made a video covering some tips and tricks for Baldur's Gate 3 and since it would seem that a lot of you newcomers appreciated that video and after messing around a bunch in the Early Access which you'll catch me doing over on twitch.tv Mr Holton today I'll be providing you with some additional tips and tricks that will most likely be relevant for the full version of Baldur's Gate 3. now just like I mentioned last time things could be subject to change with this list but as of now these things don't seem to have been changed in the final game speaking of which let's start off with tip number one in the last video I mentioned that you should pick a class and race combination that works best because of the different stats you get depending on race in Early Access however this will no longer be the case in the full game as according to a recent video by fextralife instead your stats will be based on class so feel free to pick any race and class combination in the full game just remember though that your class and race combination will still be very important because of the interactions you get throughout the game game so choose carefully for your first playthrough alright now let's move on to tip number two turn off the karmic dice setting now this one might seem a little bit contradictory because what the karmic die setting does is that it balances the chances of all dice rolls for instance it supposedly reduces the possibility of you getting several bad rolls in a row however just like everything else in Ballers Gate 3 this goes both ways meaning it also makes sure that all NPCs including enemies also has karmic dice rolls and according to Reddit poster AK David XY having karmic dice on could result in you taking upwards of 400 percent more damage compared to if you'd have it off simply because enemies will be hitting you significantly more than they should now these numbers haven't exactly been confirmed by a larion but after trying this myself it would seem that it's a pretty good idea to turn it off right after crashing on the beach because I noticed quite an improved number of successful roles after the not Lloyd part now have in mind your experience might be different and you could actually get worse roles with karmic Dice off but I highly recommend that you experiment with having it off now for tip number three in case you get a bad roll during a dialogue scene you will sometimes have access to something called inspiration and this is essentially a re-roll you can have up to four stacks of inspiration and you get these inspiration points from completing certain goals for various teammates as an example shadowheart approves of you being honorable and helping people so having her in your group while doing things like saving people or similar things like that will sometimes earn you an Inspiration Point which you can then use to re-roll now while we're on the topic of dice rolls let's move on to number four which is to use light to your advantage in Ballers Gate 3 it's super important to have a high hit chance and missing your attacks can mean life or death for you and your team this is especially the case for any any dark areas in the game such as the underdark now most races in the game has access to something called Dark Vision which lets them see up to 12 meters in darkness and drow have something called Superior dark vision which allows them to see up to 24 meters however humans give Yankee and halflings don't have access to dark Mission meaning that if you have someone like lizelle in your party a good idea would be to use the light can trip on her to make sure that she doesn't get a penalty to her sight in dark areas trust me light is much more important than you might think at first tip number five did you know that you don't need to actually have a Target while using AOE abilities such as bless or Bane yep that's right you can actually just drop your AOE spells in an area and if your team member or the enemy is standing within the Spells borders the individual in question will be affected by the spell tip number six some supplies that you find can be consumed mind you however most supplies cannot be consumed only some so don't expect to be chowing down a bunch of sausages to restore your HP while in a fight I also want to mention here that it's entirely possible that larion has removed this feature entirely in the full game but as of now there are still some foods that restore Health albeit very few of them oh tip number seven you can combine items to create new items like the spear called vision of the absolute which you can get from combining two pieces of a broken spear there are definitely going to be more occasions where you'll be combining things in the full game so remember this tip if you find something that seems to be a part of something else tip number eight make sure to bring at least one character that has access to feather fall which is a group wide spell that allows you to land without taking fall damage not only is this invaluable for melee Fighters during battles but it also allows you to access areas and shortcuts that might seem too dangerous to explore at first hand which brings us to tip number nine use featherfall to jump into the huge scary looking pit in the whispering depths now I mentioned in my last video that you shouldn't jump into the pit but that was before a few of you guys commented about the use of feather fall so remember to use it to get access to the underdark but be careful as there are some very powerful enemies patrolling the area that you land in tip number 10 remember to fully rest at your Camp before engaging in seemingly important events or dialogue scenes this is very important if you want to make friends in high places and having access to all of your party's ability bonuses will make the chances of winning your roles much more likely and if you're someone who's looking to get the best possible outcome for every dialogue scene then remember this tip tip number 11 did you know that you can stack boxes in other containers and did you also know that you can use this to your advantage to reach more Elevated Places no well you can use different containers as platforms for you to jump onto which will then allow you to jump to an even higher area this tip is especially helpful for players who roll classes that aren't necessarily the greatest jumpers like Sorcerers and wizards just know that some of these stacked boxes need to be placed in certain spots in order to make them into platforms so you might have to experiment with their placement sometimes tip number 12 if you've hoarded a bunch of equipment and valuables that you want to sell a good idea is to station yourself right next to a vendor and then go to your Camp to retrieve items from your storage chest you can then just simply leave the camp and your character will still be right next to the vendor so you can just simply dump all your collected valuables then rinse and repeat remember to do this as soon as you're near a vendor or you might just end up stacking a bunch of items that you can only sell as select few of because Traders and Baldur's Gate 3 do not have infinite gold their gold does get replenished between long rest though which is why it's a good idea to sell off items often speaking of selling off your inventory this brings us to tip number 13. if you're playing on PC remember to use tab to bring up the inventory of all your party members this makes it much easier to not only sell off unwanted items but it also is so much easier to swap around equipment and items between characters by bringing up all of their inventories now I'll admit that this was something that I didn't think about for the longest time and there seems to be quite a number of newcomers that don't actually know that you can do this in any case thank you to everyone who suggested this to me and I kind of feel a little bit dumb for not realizing this sooner but hey now for number 14 here's yet another tip that people generally miss out on remember that you can highlight items in close proximity to you this little tip is invaluable since a lot of items and interactables might blend in with the environment making them hard to see in some cases thankfully you can bind actions to any key you want but alt is the standard button for highlighting stuff finally number 15. did you know that as a barbarian you can actually throw people yep that's right not only can you throw stuff as any class but if you grow sick of some ugly gabo as a barbarian you can just toss that [ __ ] straight off a cliff remember Sally when I promised to kill you last that's right I lied [Music] my friend
