Baldur's Gate 3 - More News (I'm serious) Multiclassing & Character Creation 🔥

this video is going to be much shorter than yesterday's video but we got some new News slash information on Baldur's Gate 3 from a Playstation blog article that larion Studios put out now if you missed yesterday's video make sure to go watch it this was hands down the biggest news drop that lyrion Studios has probably ever done for pauldersgate 3. I know that some of you guys probably won't watch it so let me just tell you the main news the biggest news is that Baldur's Gate 3 has been pushed up to an August 3rd launch for PC so almost a month earlier than it was originally planned it has been delayed a week for PS5 so September 6 for PS5 let's get right into it new details on Baldur's Gate 3 character creation and companions out September 6. so this article of course it's on the playstation.blog has a focus on Playstation so it's not talking as much about PC although most of the information in this article is general information for all Baldur's Gate 3 players and then of course we have our Dragonborn character right there looking so epic now the first part right here dungeon dragons is all about player freedom is information that talked about in my most recent video nothing really new there you know 170 hours of cinematic 600 spells more than 600 spells and things of that nature but down here this is the section that I do want to read create a character who looks like you or make something completely different I'll come back to this first paragraph but I want to start on the second paragraph because this is probably the biggest news in my opinion of this particular article and it has to do with the word that I'm highlighting right there you steer the adventure well a version of you based on your choice of human dwarf get Yankee elf draw tiefling half lean half elf gnome half fork or Dragonborn for those of you that missed my recent video or didn't read Community update number 20 which came out at almost the same time as the Playstation blog Dragonborn and half Fork were a big part of that Community update but how you appear doesn't Define who you are that's why we have 12 classes from DND including Barbarian Bard cleric Druid fighter monk that was part of the community update number 20. Paladin Ranger Rogue sorcerer Warlock and wizard with a total of 46 subclasses that that's freaking awesome man between them for some extra splice and specialization or should you not want to choose you can create a hybrid class through multi-classing now the last time that we heard larion mention multi-class scene was probably over four years at this point during a Reddit AMA for Baldur's Gate 3. well they said multiclassium was going to be in the game just not in Early Access but they haven't said anything about it since and things do change in a game's development so many of us were getting worried well worry no more it pretty much confirms multi-classing is available I'm assuming at version 1.0 otherwise they wouldn't advertise it in this article now I won't get too deep into what multiclassing is I've already done videos in the past and I'll do some more in the future but just the basic explanation of multi-classing for those that are unfamiliar you can actually take a level in another class so if you're a level five Paladin when you reach the potential to reach level 6 as a paladin instead you can take one level in you know Sorcerer And then you'd be a level five Paladin in a level one sorcerer at the same time which is a character level six but your class levels are only five and one you of course get access to there's some limitations on this we get access to most of the features from both of those classes now I guess the downside of multi-class you know the sacrifice that you make is you won't be able to reach max level in a particular class so if you're a multi-class of a paladin and a sorcerer you won't ever be able to reach level 12 as a paladin and get those 12 level features and you won't be able to reach level 12 as a sorcerer either so if you took one multi-class and sorcerer you would be a level 11 Paladin a level one sorcer character level 12. now there are some prerequisites in order to be allowed to multi-class and that has to do with having a minimum ability score in that classes primary ability score so for example clerics use wisdom that's their primary spell casting ability if you're a fighter and you want to multi-class into a cleric you have to have at least a 13 ability score in wisdom if you don't have the 13 you're not going to be able to do that multi-class you either have to put points into it during your ASI increases or you have to you know in the beginning and character creation make sure that you have at least a 13 in the class that you do want to multi-class into sorcerer you have to have a 13 in Charisma and so on so multi-classing confirm now back to the first paragraph whether you have the stature of a gnome or the muscle tone of a half orc it all begins with a hero character creation is such a central part of DnD and in Baldur's Gate 3 we wanted players to experience the same kind of Freedom when shaping their own identity who you are what you look like and how you want to play is up to you define your body type your age that's new information and looks right down to the highlights in your hair balder's mouth will be writing about you so it's important you make a bold impression and balder's mouth is the news organization news agency based in the city of Baldur's Gate and the last line in this particular section says get as macro or micro as you like alright let's take a deeper look at these three beautiful screenshots and this is a course taken from the PS5 version and when the game comes to Xbox hopefully sooner rather than later which I think it's going to it's going to look probably very similar on Xbox as well so this is different than the PC version that many of us have been playing so on the top here we have the tabs origin race class background abilities skills and appearance pretty much the same as we have it right now in Early Access and then you can choose if you want to play as a custom character your own Tav character those of you guys that don't know what Tav means basically that's like the default name that you're given with your custom characters in Early Access and a lot of players end up forgetting to name their character and they they're stuck with the name Tav so when you see larion Studios say Tav that's what they're referencing it's kind of a meme at this point so you can choose a custom character or An Origin character of which karlak has now been confirmed To Be An Origin character and another origin character is going to be revealed to us at the panel from Hell on July 7th now everything else here except we haven't seen the half fork in the Character Creator yet look how beautiful beautiful this is it gets a little blurry when I zoom in just because it's a screenshot the half Fork looks phenomenal looks really good on the PS5 but everything else here we've already seen in a previous Gameplay trailer we have body type which a lot of us were speculating was like feminine and masculine identity and then random character although the body type's a little bit confusing you guys will see why here in a second because actually on the appearance tab there's also a body type selection so let's move on to the next photo and in this one we can actually see more of the tabs at the top of the screen and that's because this particular character has already chosen their race and then it gives them a sub Race Choice here and Marion's dividing this into tabs at least on the PS5 I'm not sure if it will be like this on PC I'm assuming that it will be but you can see there's some extra tabs up here that we haven't seen before such as sub race sub race has always been in the game there just never was a tab for it after you chose your race and then also skill expertise is something that the Rogue class gets and it looks like it has its own tab which is nice because this organizes things a little bit better when when you're creating your character everything's not cluttered onto a very few amount of tabs other than that we have some really nice iconography for your class Choice and then it lays it out in front of you you know the different features that you get with that particular class a rogue get sneak attack melee arranged Etc and then on to the final image right here which is a little bit more confusing because we don't exactly know what everything means and this is the appearance tab look how beautiful this game is it really is it really is amazing I can't wait to play so for the appearance we have randomize which is nice for those of you guys that want to just see some crazy things that the AI can come up with I guess then we have body type one out of four so why are we choosing body type in the origin custom Tab and then also choosing it right here I'm not entirely sure there are some theories going on out there but at the very least I would say that one of these is male normal and then male muscular or buff or jacked and then female normal and female muscular you know something along those lines but the first thing that I was thinking that it could be is if we're choosing like body type back on the custom origin tab maybe we choose like masculine or feminine and then over here depending on if you chose masculine or feminine feminine excuse me you then get to choose between four different body types so possibly skinny normal you know chubby and then muscular sorry having a little bit of a brain fart here don't know exactly how that's going to work but we know for sure that there's going to be at least a few different body types to choose from we're not going to be stuck with that normal you know average looking body although I don't think the characters in bg3 are ever average looking they're actually all quite fit and below that we have identity which is already in Early Access voice we have eight choices for the voice so more voices have been added which is great even though the main protagonist or your character is not really a voice character in terms of reading all the dialogue there still are some voice lines and it's nice to know that your character has a voice that you chose as opposed to the game gave you then for face we have eight different heads here and that is more than we currently have in Early Access as well I'm not sure if this is divided into female in male in Early Access right now if you choose the sex of your character you're given only the faces that represent that sex that could be different right now they might be clunking everything together but I would assume that we have plenty more faces to choose from and I think you have like five four to six faces for most of the races right now now we're seeing eight right here so there's definitely gonna be more to choose from which is always good news and then for skin color we have 120 choices here which is just pretty insane so you guys can go crazy with your character skin color and then maturity this is very new to us right now I love that larian's putting this in here I'm not sure how this is going to be if you can like increase it by one percent two percent three percent efforts gonna jump in like increments of 10 but we do know that we'll be able to control our character's age and this looks like the youngest that you can possibly be I guess this could you know be a teenage character or maybe even early 20s I can't wait I don't know about you guys but I can't wait to be a little cliche and create like a really old wizard with a huge beard kind of like lminster and then also Freckle quantity which this character currently has it set at 58 so there's so much more to the character creator that we haven't seen yet but we're getting a little bit of a teaser here I'm assuming we're going to see more in the panel from Hell also notice this character has earrings which are not which are not a thing currently in Early Access unless you play as the Wild Heart Barbarian you get to change certain subclass features that give you different types of earrings but in the Character Creator this hasn't been a thing as of right now so this further confirms that there will be like a piercing category that we can choose from really cool now the next part of this article talks about Companions and origin characters and we have a picture of Jahira and Minsk great here both very important characters from the original Baldur's Gate games these two characters will not be origin characters though just to clear up the confusion origin characters are also companions but origin characters you can play as your main character right in the beginning of the game you can play out their story while companions can be origin characters but not all of them are so Jahira and Minsk cannot be played as your main character but you can recruit them into your party of four or have them at your Camp Etc and play out their quests and learn about their story since this is Minsk right here in a new screenshot of him we might as well take a look at what it actually says Minsk says You must reach what mints connect the parasite you can use it to tickle free whatever truth you seek and then the player character's response to this can be or I could just crack you over the head see what shakes loose or number two you sound reluctant number three you can use the alifid tadpole powers on men's which would be interesting to do and number four there's no need for that we'll find another way also notice how the portraits are definitely updated we did see this previously a few months ago when larion released some information but it's really cool to see down here we have a description talking about carlak which I talked about in my previous video a confirmed origin character which is great I can't wait to see her entire story I'm very curious how her story is going to work out with her coming from the nine Hells originally coming from El Torell but then she went to the nine hells and then we have a few paragraphs that I got guess I'll read because they are somewhat new like a cast die every decision you make in Baldur's Gate 3 has the potential to alter the course of your story as you create your legacy the people of faerun take note of your actions chart your adventure and make their own judgments based on their own inclinations and expectations the decisions you make in game have far-reaching near and long-term effects but every choice you make is valid it's your story unless you die whatever you did then was probably a bad idea the really cool thing about bg3 is I think it's taking crpgs to the next level in terms of you know permutations and how the world reacts to you and actually no matter what happens in a situation it's going to be probably high quality content so even if something doesn't go your way it's going to lead to something that you didn't expect that should also be quite enjoyable these decisions also affect your relationships with your companions whether it's an impish vampire spawn or a beefy archdruid in the middle of a wild shape transformation that's a reference to helson who has been confirmed to be a companion in Ballers gay three you can romance almost all your Camp companions no notice that it does say almost all and not all and depending on how you interact with them you may see different romance scenes for several of these characters during your replays a lot of replayability in Baldur's Gate 3. relationships in bg3 develop in Blossom or grow sour and dwindle just as in real life they require maintenance and are based on genuine admiration from the perspective of each character's General point of view about the world and your actions within it so of course do whatever you want in your game but I do encourage people to consider saves coming a little bit less in this game because I think it's going to feel really rewarding to have to work on those relationships as opposed to necessarily just going back and starting the scene over over and over and over again which is fine do whatever you want enjoy the game but I encourage people to at least consider trying to play things out if something kind of goes wrong and you fail a Charisma check try to win back the love of that character and I think that's going to be very very enjoyable and also highly motivating for many players the dating World in bg3 is your oyster it is what you make it and I'll give or take a few dice rolls but we'll leave some of the more intriguing visuals for the panel from Hell release showcase which is arising or airing July 7th where you'll also have the chance to meet our seventh and final origin character sorry I've been I'm just I'm not talking that well right now because I've just been working constantly lately but this is really exciting news so the big news in this particular update was obviously multi-classing and then those new extra appearance and character creator options that we're hoping that larion will expand on in July so thank you all so much for watching many more videos to come throughout the month of July and of course August now the game's coming out in early August it's jam-packed on this channel and I'll have every type of content that you can think of so hope to catch you guys on the next video [Music] thank you
