Baldur's Gate 3: 6 Obviously Terrible Choices That Turn Out Amazingly Well

Dungeons and Dragons based RPG balers Gate 3 is a game absolutely packed with choices from who to smooch to how much stealing is too much to what silly hat to wear to ruin all your serious cutscenes trust me it doesn't happen balers Gate 3 however is also a game in which choices matter and as such you might find yourself hesitating when making a decision especially when picking an option that seems on the surface to be a very obviously bad idea but worry not friends because if the early hours of the game have taught us nothing else it's the truly terrible seeming decisions can lead to the best outcomes see for yourself in these six terrible decisions that turned out shockingly well with minor spoilers from only the First Act of the game and subscribe for more videos from outside Xbox with fabulous crown and with scepter ofr draw Raglin short work of the in keeper made the main issue you'll be facing in bers Gate 3 is that you have a mind flare tadpole in your brain and if you don't get it out soon soon enough you'll turn into a mind flare yourself and no one wants that imagine trying to eat spaghetti but folks in the realm of fyon are nothing if not helpful and so you'll find yourself on the receiving end of offers of assistance from various helpful folks who reckon they can do something about the little squirmy boy who has taken up residence in your Noggin lowest s the list of candidates you'd want to let anywhere near your brain is Volo a Jester slw writer SL fantasist who you'll likely first encounter being forced to entertain goblins in their camp I never free Volo from his predicament and he'll head to your camp at which point he'll announce that he reckons he can get that mind flare tple out of your head no problem my research turned up a rather brilliant technique that seems quite actionable you might be wondering about the medical credentials of an easily kidnappa clown man and let me tell you it doesn't seem any better an idea when he produces a large knitting needle and announces his intention to jam it into your eye socket I assure you I've dreamt of it a thousand times over but while this might seem like an absolutely terrible idea Our advice is to grit your teeth and go through with it if you've got a strong stomach that is because although he starts with the needle Volo carefully holds one of your eyes open and begins to prod uncertainly with the needle Volo quickly graduates to an ice pick then reaching into his back he produces an ice pick and before long your beloved eye is now no longer in your head and is instead sinking into the mud your eye plops down into the mud okay but do bear with us because while your eye is for sure gone Volo feels so bad that he gives you a replacement one and this eye is Superior in one crucial way take this a far superior Relic to that old jelly you were chained to your new peer known as volo's urat eye lets you see invisible enemies up to 30 ft away which is going to come in super handy when enemies start turning invisible later in the game believe me so thanks Volo I guess probably could have done without all the optic nerve Tang H in to be honest terribly sorry my friend [Music] T greetings child I've met few aside from goblins here you never know who you're going to run into in a Boulders Gate 3 dungeon although if you said fetish we priest who worships a pain goddess I'd have said yeah that sounds about right I was invited to discuss pain and its intricacies this is ABD who you encounter inside the shattered sanctum having been bought in to help with some enhanced interrogation AKA torture you see pain is a loving thing in case you couldn't tell from his demeanor and face and clothes and whole deal abder is a follower of leviar the goddess of pain and is Keen to convert as many people as possible by inflicting pain on them of course of course not the worst technique priest good wrist movement lots of enthusiasm well I'm glad you're enjoying this Shadow heart to the sensible Adventurer this seems like a terrible idea why would I let this weirdo just start wailing on me I need all these hit points for actual fights what's more it's clear that he's enjoying himself a little bit too much if I'm honest as did I dear one however even though this is painful and weird and all your party members are watching the whole time and it takes a load of your hit points it is still worth doing why because endure this spicy flagellation three times and he'll Grant you a condition called levar's love a handy little buff that gives you a plus two bonus to attack rolls and wisdom saving throws when you drop to 30% of your hit points or lower and on a personal note thank you that was positively divine still Weir though do you now might feel different once she puts a burning brand here she's through the main doors just follow her the smell of B Goblin ass generally in life people are reluctant to let anybody brand them on account of how the process involves holding scolding hot metal against your skin and how that is bad and painful and the mark Left Behind is permanent hold out your arm so I can mark your flesh but what if Brandon could be good somehow well stay with me here but when you meet the goblin Priestess gut she's extremely Keen to brand new ASAP which on the face of it seems like bad times as pain muddles your thoughts your minds become entangled a familiar sensation she too carries a parasite and I mean it is bad times in terms of you get a red hot chunk of metal slapped on your skin but in return you receive what is known as the mark of the absolute this is well worth having due to it opening up new and useful dialog options and also giving you access to Unique gear that's unavailable to those without the mark of the absolute the only downside is that you have a mark on the palm of your hand but honestly in a game with so many great glove options I think you're going to be [Music] fine common sense dictates that you're probably not going to find anyone you want to hang out with in a place called the Dank Crypt unless that's a weed reference in which case your mileage may vary the Dank Crypt in bers Gate 3 however is very much not a place for relaxation and very much more a Place full of grim Undead zombies who want to murder you at the heart of this horrible Crypt lies an ornate Stone sarcophagus wherein lies yet another horrible old zombie and I think it's safe to assume that the sensible option here would be to run this gross old mummy through before he gets a chance to start firing wiring off his mummy spells so he has spoken and so thou standest before me right as always if you do let him get up out of his coffin he starts asking you about the value of human life which again seems like a bit of a red flag what is the worth of a single mortal's life but while it might seem like a bad decision to play along and attack him at your earliest convenience doing so will get this guy who goes by the unfortunate name of Withers to join your camp and believe me that's something you want we will see each other again at the proper time and place farewell that's because Withers for one can let you recruit hings to fight by your side and can resurrect your dead party members for 200 gold a pop Dost thou require a new ally or mayhaps a resurrection instead but wait there's more with this also lets you re respect your character so if you ever feel like you are sick of being a rogue and want to try War loocking out for a bit Withers is the guy to speak to no th coin purse is near empty what is he doing with all that money though I dread to think you don't sleep well flitting between Dreams and Nightmares maybe you wake up because you know something is wrong or maybe you just get lucky aaran is one of the first companion characters that you'll stumble across in bal's Gate 3 and as such probably the one you'll do the most bonding with early game trust me it doesn't happen which is why it's something of a rug Poole when you turn in one night and wake up to discover him bearing down on you with Fang's bed ready to drain you like a sanguinary Capri Sun in the ensuing conversation it becomes apparent that asterion is a kind of vampire and needs blood to survive I I wasn't going to hurt you I I just needed well blood and if you manage to resist the urge to stake him immediately the conversation soon turns to you maybe letting him at a little of all that blood you're so selfishly hoarding inside your body if I just had a little blood I could think clearer fight better please sensible players will reason that you need all of your blood especially in belder Gate 3 where it's being sprayed over dungeon walls and floors all the time and no doubt say no to aarion no no of course silly of me to even ask besides the player might reason when you get bitten by a vampire don't you turn into a vampire yourself and then you have to feed on other people can never go out in the sunlight and worst of all can't cook with garlic anymore well although it might seem like a bad idea letting a Starion bite you is actually much less of a big deal than it first appears a Starion it turns out is a vampire spawn rather than a proper vampire and as such you won't become a vampire yourself you do receive the bloodless debuff which gives you a minus one penalty to attack rolls and ability checks until the next time you take a long rest but in return a star gets the happy buff which gives him plus one to both those things my mind is finally clear I feel strong I feel happy even better he also gains the vampire bite bonus action which heals him for two D4 hit points and can deal two D4 piercing damage to an enemy plus it's a big boost to your relationship with aarion if you were thinking of Romancing him and I mean who isn't look at those cheekbones just make sure you make him stop before you run out of the red stuff guy's got quite the appetite oh no something Terrible's happened oh my you startled me I uh it's miles away this one very much depends on how you feel about Gail the smug annoying Wizard who's constantly being a jerk and eats your magic items like their Pringles and he skipped lunch your hide your choice not quite my cup of tea though okay so that's how I feel about Gail there for when he died in combat I wasn't too fussed until a magic hologram of him appeared insisting that I resurrect him post haste well met I am a magical projection of Gale of water deep and if you see this manifestation that means I have prematurely perished however for reasons that cannot be disclosed it is of vital importance that my death be remedied at your earliest convenience now this hologram Gale has a long series of complicated steps for you to follow to affect his resurrection and insists that it's vitally important that you do so within 2 days but he also doesn't say why it's important and knowing Gail it's so he can come back to life and E all your magic gloves because he's peckish that will be covered by the for reasons that cannot be disclosed claws so let's move on as such it might seem like both the sensible and funny option to avoid resurrecting this self-absorbed wizard but regrettably that does lead to an area the size of a small City being destroyed along with countless lives lost for story reasons I won't get too into here Gail has an artifact of unimaginable power embedded in his chest which is the reason he has to consume your magical items if he dies however this substance becomes unstable and after 2 days it detonates killing well a lot of people and certainly your party because after a few long rests that's it for you [Music] guys so yeah maybe make this one a priority [Music] thanks for watching this video about the terrible sounding balers Gate 3 ideas that are good actually got any more we missed let us know in the comments and like And subscribe for more videos
