Playing Baldur's Gate 1 in 2024 - Part 1

hi my name is Maru or Ruru I am a variety streamer  on Twitch I used to play a variety of games but   now I just play a variety of balers Gate 3  playthroughs a few months ago if you told me   that bald gate was going to become everything  that I was all that I am basically my biggest   Obsession I would not have believed you but here  we are after my first playthrough I really really   really wanted to learn more about the lore  the backstory behind jira Minsk and basically   anything I could know about the world I just  wanted to learn more about baldder gate Laura   and I decided why not play the original balers  gate one and two a lot of people I know hesitate   to play the older games due to them just being  so old disconnected from balers Gate 3 uh they   are 20 years prior to balers Gate 3 they are  definitely a different graphic style that's   for sure but my love for Baldo gate cannot stop  me and so in this video we will be starting our   playthrough of baldder Gate 1 in 2024 I am a  little bit of a noob when it comes to things   but also not a noob I have played Divinity  original sin 2 and balers gate seven times   so we are a little experienced I will say just a  little bit although there are a lot of mechanic   that I feel like um I'm still picking up and  things like that I've had so much fun playing   this game I hope you enjoy watching if you're  someone who has hesitated to pick up balers   Gate 1 and two I hope this playthrough in 2024  allows you to pick it up because it is so fun it   is so amazing and I can't wait to show you just  how amazing it is and just how much of the same   but also different you're going to get playing  balers gate one so without further Ado let us   get into the video now one thing before we start  I did film The gameplay of this video 2 weeks   prior to me filming this Intro 2 weeks ago I had  a different camera and also a different haircut   so enjoy Maru from the past with long hair and a  slightly less great camera enjoy let's get down to   business to defeat balers gate one well defeat the  tutorial first at least single player you can play multiplayer oh my God and you could just  play random multiplayer too like I could   join anybody that's like in a region okay okay so  single player tutorial right you can pregenerate   characters no okay tutorial tutorial I think we  should start with the tutorial I think it's the   most important thing I'm just going to make a  character really quickly if I spend too long   here yeah I'll spend too long here you know what  I mean I'm I'm I'm going to spend too long here   even though this game is probably going to have  my character look like they are the size of a p   and there's going to be no discernable features  about them I'm still going to spend two hours   in character creation it's just the way it  is pem out so these are all updated 2024 um   visuals for the portraits that's the one mod  I installed I just thought why not update the   portraits a little bit they look a little um  I don't want to say outdated but H they just   look a little bit more boosted like this and  I think it's a good mod so I'm sticking with   it okay I going to go with you I like this can I  be I can't be a Dr Dr for life baby Dr for life   okay I'll probably just go with a an elf they're  resistant against charm and sleep magic they can   open locks Pick Pockets I bet only if I pick a  um Thief category though right they tend to be   shorter and Slimmer than humans their features  are Finly chiseled and delicate and they speak   in melodic tones elves are looked upon as being  frivolous and aloof they concern themselves with   natural beauty that sounds like me we're going  to go with oh [ __ ] you know what I'm not try   I had a lot of fun with cleric in balers Gate  3 I just found it interesting that there were   so many sub classes that you could really get  into in cleric and I'm curious to see that I'm   curious to see if balers gate one is similar it's  a generic priest of any mythus who tends to be the   spiritual needs of a community though she is both  protector and healer she is not purely defensive   when evil threatens the cleric is well suited  to seek it out on its own ground and destroy it   the opposite of true is the opposite is true of  evil clerics as well okay so wait are these like   your different these must be your different  sub classes right yes okay tals is an evil God Helm is a neutral God Leander is a good god  tier is a law and Justice God and Tempest is a   chaotic nature God sounds like I think I'm going  to go with Tempest I like a little bit of Chaos   in my day-to-day life I think I'm go with Tempest  alignment oh this is fun oh wait wait wait wait   wait wait I think my class had something to do  with this okay so each of these have disadvantage   alignments okay so alignment restricted to chaotic  good chaotic neutral chaotic evil or true neutral   okay so alignment restricted to lawful good  neutral good okay okay I think I'm still gonna   go with this chaotic good chaotic neutral chaotic  evil or true neutral and then I think oh so I get   to pick my alignment okay very cool chotic good  characters are strong individualists marked by a   streak of kindness and benevolence true neutral  characters believe in the ultimate balance of   forces and they refuse to see actions as either  good or evil since the majority of people in the   world make judgments true neutral characters are  extremely rare chaotic neutral characters believe   that there is no order to anything including their  own actions with this as a guiding principle they   tend to follow whatever whim strikes them at  the moment I think I'll probably go with chaotic   neutral because I feel like a little bit more of  a chaotic neutral character I'm role playing a   little bit like myself I feel like there's going  to be so many elements of Ballers gate one uh also   the roleplay element I'm going to struggle to keep  track of so we're just going to chaotic neutal I   think go with the whims of the moment see how  we're feeling moment to moment I always first   plays are first plays are fun I could also go with  chaotic evil these characters are the badee of all   that is good and organized chaotic evil characters  are motivated by the desire for personal gain and pleasure this is really making me want to go do a  neutral and evil playthrough I think that would be   really really really cool because I bet that there  are neutral companions or no I bet there are good   companions neutral Companions and evil companions  now that I look at this right I bet that's how   they distinguish I think I'm still going to stick  with chaotic neutral abilities okay this is like   all your stats I can't really even oh so did it  all for me okay I'm just going to stick with the   regular stats they give me oh okay so these are my  abilities so they are very similar to Bald Gate 3   you've got your blast you've got your command I  love the command I'm going right for that just   kidding I have no spells remaining just kidding  and here we go my beautiful character oh I love   all these choices okay I'm always going to go  with white hair I thought that was her helmet   didn't realize it was hair okay we're getting  there we're getting there there even though she's   not a Dr I'm still going to make her look like a  Dr sorry cutie I wonder if I could customize this   at any time probably right doesn't mean that much  now I'll still spend 4 hours here okay this looks   good she looks cute adorable still kind of looks  like a helmet but can't zoom in to even look at it   so who cares voices Pure Life ends here these  are fun go go go sleepy time can't come soon   enough these are fun I've got the world's biggest  ouchie oh I've got the world's biggest ouchie is   something I'm going to say on the regular now  okay okay these Aon ones are interesting Aon   I think I have no idea what Aon stands for  take them down these are so fun very well I   will lead I wonder what the difference between  these female m and Aon are I like Sarah let us   come together and follow a Noble Path please I  need to rest feels very cleric you know what I   mean although my character just doesn't give off  cleric vibes okay she looks like she's about to   stab you but that's okay that's fine we're going  to name her we could name her whatever I should   probably name her after me but you see now is the  only part of the playr I'm actually going to role   play I feel like I'm going to name her Lilith  I just love the name Lilith can I just can I   just appreciate and love the name Lilith forever  please thank you very much okay Lilith is amazing   we love Lilith and this is what I ended up going  with I went back to alignment and I went to True   neutral because I was really curious they said  that true neutral were the rarest and hardest to   be so I'm kind of curious if we I'm just kind of  curious I'm kind of curious I like being a little   rare specimen I like being different okay now  I think we're going to stick to normal mode we   can change it now I know we can change it at any  point because this is the only one that can't be   change so we'll try normal mode we'll see how it  goes enemies deal 25% less damage and do not use   their most powerful spells and items party and  party members cannot permanently die that's nice   hit point roles are maximized and spells can  be copied into the spell books without failure   oh that's really nice okay I didn't know there I  didn't oh my God I could learn spells with failure okay greetings to you I almost forgot for a  second I was in the tutorial this is where   I get my where is it I've got my pen I've  got my paper and I'm ready to take notes   I'm going to get this I I'm not playing around  here okay I'm not going to start this and be   lost not another game guys not another one  I'm going to get these tutorial instructions you don't use space bar you might find the game  more difficult to play why don't you experiment   with pausing right now but using the space bar  and giving your character movement commands I   can do that wow okay so this kind of follows more  like Dragon Age Origins type where you can pause   and unpause the game but all the characters move  in real time I assume okay hey there wasn't that   easy what I'm going to do now is turn hostile  this guy's voice oh my God why do I recognize   it why does it sound so familiar I will say that  this is very thorough but it's very helpful like   I do kind of wish that balers Gate 3 would have a  tutorial section like this like I do kind of wish   that we had a little bit more of a enhanced  tutorial section because I do think a lot of   people are very confused about a lot of things  in bal's Gate I luckily went into bal's gate   having played Divinity original sin 2 before but  I feel like a lot of people I know a lot of the   basic mechanics they really struggled with and  more than I think they would have liked or a lot   of things they just didn't even understand until  well the end of their first playthrough for I'm   trying to hit you but I don't think I'm hitting  not entirely sure still kind of getting used to   combat in this game I think I hit you there we  go I want you to check oh there I am okay here's   my character look so cute I look like a d but  I can be an elf elves are DRS Zan you'll join   your party and show you how to memorize and cast  spells oh this is really helpful so hello I am Zan   a mage from evasa in the north I'm going to join  your party and show you how to cast and memorize spells hi Zan God why hi I'm like 5  minutes into this and every single   character's voice has got me doing a  little tuckle teach me your way Zan   my first lesson for you is on how  to cast spells left click on your target okay life is so [Laughter]  Hollow Zan we just met you can't be   saying [ __ ] like that but also  mood Zan mood can I cast it on   anyone s any repertoire cast a spell  on Belt yet can you give me a second Zan okay that's really cute I like that  I'm getting into this I am learning I am   learning good job I am now going to teach you how  to memorize spells he sounds like he's putting his   whole heart into it but at the same time he's  putting none of his heart into it it's like   he has no heart to put into it you know what I  mean our Quest is vain Z Zan we're all doomed   life is so Hollow our Quest is vain we're all  doomed he's got great voice lines your a I like   this this is you resting this is so cute little  Tavern Vibes oh I love that you've rested for8   hours uh I sleep for 10 I'm not okay so this has  a very similar mechanic to Divinity original sin   2 which is remarkably annoying I will say it is  an identify mechanic so you have to identify some   items usually better items higher quality items  that you pick up around the world with a scroll   or a spell if your character has an identify  spell it's way better than using a scroll I   feel like you have to keep constantly picking up  Scrolls I wonder how much loot this game gives   you is this my whole in inventory like do I only  get 16 slots Zan looks kind of cute he is like   two pixels I got to stop down bad for two pixels  geez Louise bronwin hi greetings and good a I am   branwin and I follow du of Tempest God of War I'm  going to join your party and teach you how to use   cleric abilities please she's so pretty too oh  I love my little uh life is so Hollow oh my God   Zan can you chill holy [ __ ] okay so I can be  badass in this game that's good now it's kind   of screaming that Bard is the way which is real  because Bard is the way okay good answer Boulders   gate one good answer bards seem to have a lot of  like nicer quirks about them and I'm very into   that kind of wish I had picked to be a B I wonder  if there's any multi classing wonder if I'll meet   any bars oh my first combat encounter and they  died immediately now I'm going to introduce you   to a surpris visitor I don't even know what I did  friend in okay so how do I move everyone I kind of   just assumed everyone would just falling behind  my main character but now I'm going to need do a   little bit of investigating okay um our Quest  is vain Zan I swear to God figured it out you   have to select all and then you can move in a  formation which I think is really cute done so   you move like a little party that's adorable okay  okay okay okay this is really cute does that mean   I can have six people in my party that's a big  party I'm into that so it kind of feels like   just like balers Gate 3 I'm always going to want  to have a thief in my party which is real like I   still have not been able to play balers Gate 3  without a thief in my party like a staran You   Are My Forever baby girl you are my forever who  am I pickpocketing belt it's always belt man belt   is taking the brunt of this tutorial might I say  oh so I'm detecting traps oh my God so I have to   detect traps around the world oh my god do I  have to go invisible you haven't got the gym   yet what's taking you so long em use this ability  you must press the thiing button on the I'm doing   it o what's taking you so long emo I'm doing my  best best sweetie can everybody stop telling me   to hurry up I'm getting a little bit upset I can't  follow simple instructions okay it's not my fault   even though it is did I okay I have to actually  look inside okay got the gem perfect imemo you   happy good job the next ability I just tried  to move around with WD that's unfortunate that   I can't move around with WD oh that's going  to kill me doing very well now I'm going to   introduce you to two more party members Minsk  and Jahira Minsk Jahira give me give me give me hello there I hope you've understood your  lessons so far they'll be of utmost importance   when you get into the real world She's So Soft  Minsk and I are going to join your party and tell   about tell me tell you about your remaining  skills Min and bu you forgot buo oh God he's   the same um yes Minsk I forgot buo okay then  Minsk buo and I are going to join your party   and tell you about your remaining scals can Buu  be a companion please Buu has many pointers on   how to Adventure he is a very wise hamster he  is a very wise hamster Bard also has an extra   ability bards man I'm starting to feel like I  should have played a Bard although I feel like   clerics are I always always always whenever  I play a video game always go with the Healer   class I don't know what's wrong with me what  does that say about me I always go for the   Healer class even though it's more boring than  doing the damage or being the tank I feel like   I just want to heal people I want to be helpful  bars are helpful though so now that I have so   many people I can move in a T formation that's  iconic I don't need to T pose everywhere I go   in a literal sense can you imagine just  looking at me from the sky up t- posing   everyone's going to be like it's a bird it's  a plane no it's just my party te- posing temp victory that was a little too easy for me I just  sat back I put my entire party on party Ai and I   just sat back baby they did all the work please  tell me it's going to be that easy when when I   start oh and I sprung a trap okay cool I feel like  the clicking around is very League of Legends you   know what I mean so I'm used to it unfortunately  okay so I feel like I'm getting used to it it's   there's the key okay I'm getting used to it I  really do like the way all the characters move   it takes some getting used to for sure they don't  move as fluidly as uh balers gay 3 obviously but   the formation styles are very cool a potion  of extra fine sword a fine shiny sword use it   well for it is surely Enchanted Boo's got an eye  for such things I love him oh and Boo this makes   me so happy yo the second I can get jira and  menskin my party I'm doing it I'm just really   curious about their backstory I know a lot about  jira's backstory you learn in balder's gate three   but she has so much backstory I feel like it's  kind of hard to say that I know all of it you   know what she tells you basically you know what  I mean this game's going to be a breeze I can   already feel it the tutorial was smooth sailing I  did it my whole party looks dope and fly okay Bel   that was nothing to me good job your training is  now complete yay okay now I can start let's go do   I just do we just start we starting love the Fade  to Black everything I could have wanted okay so we   okay so we just started a new game okay okay okay  okay okay okay um I guess I can do all this again   okay that's fine I could do that I could do that  perfect I think I did it accept normal Venture   forth top The Cliffs that rise from The Sword  Coast the Citadel of candlekeep houses the finest   and most comprehensive collection of writings on  the face of faren it is an imposing Fortress kept   in strict isolation from the intrigues that  occasionally plague the rest of the Forgotten   Realms it is secluded highly regimented and it is  home within these hollowed Halls of knowledge Your   Story begins you have spent most of your 20 years  of life within this keep's austere walls under the   tutelage of the sage gor in acting as your father  he has raised you on a thousand Tales of Heroes   and monsters lovers and infidels battles and  tragedies however one story was always left Untold   that of your true Heritage you have been told that  you are an orphan but your past is largely unknown   lately gorion has been growing distant from you as  if some grave matter weighs heavily on his heart   you have asked about his concerns as gently as  possible but your queries have been in vain your   sole Comfort is the knowledge that he is a wise  man and you know he will tell you when the time is   right nonetheless his silence is troubling and you  cannot help but feel that something is terribly   wrong today gorion has appeared more agitated  than ever and now he has uncharacteristically   interrupted your chores in the middle of the day  imparting hurried instructions for you to equip   yourself for travel he has handed you what gold he  can spare but given no clue as to why nevertheless   you now stand before the candle keep Inn ready  to purchase what you need for an unplanned and   Unexpected Journey a I loved that I loved that so  much reminds me of like reminds me of an old movie   you know what I mean that little bit of background  you get and here I am Goran my foster father has   informed me that we must we must immediately oh  it's gone let me find it Gan my foster father   has informed me that we must immediately leave  candle keep and set it on a journey he has given   me some gold and I must purchase supplies for  the road including weapons and armor okay all   right I can find my way around I know how to look  at things tutor okay first person I see let's go   hello hello child child shall we continue your  lessons oh my goodness is this tutorial stuff   tell me about pausing the game tell me about  the area map so they have a tutor that tells   me about stuff okay so I didn't even really need  to do the tutorial I could have just talk to this   guy although he doesn't have like a very com he  doesn't have everything he only has five things   you know what I mean fidia hi fidia hello there  have you seen my copy of the history of H Rua   anywhere you know how I can't stand the constant  shuffling of arthritic feet up in the library so   I thought I'd get a bit of fresh air just east of  here and oh I hate being so absent minded please   if you find it I really do need it back I got  you wait is that another tutor how many of you   are there okay so you teach me about something  different there's another how how many tutors are   there this is what balers Gate 3 needs these are  the most helpful Wizards in the entirety of the   beginning of balers Gate 3 and yes I am looking  at you Gail sorry but also not sorry at all   literally zero sorry another one hello child oh  my God and see like this is stuff I didn't learn   about in the tutorial I didn't learn about disease  poison fatigue low Constitution grow tired after   going too long without rest as fatigue increases  they accumulate a luck penalty which negatively   impacts all all attack rolls God there's so much  here there's so much I can learn about can I get   drunk oh my God I can get drunk my team's getting  lit we got weed in here balers gate one got any   marijuana shank hi oh goody goodie I've got and  found you first you are a ward of Goran no doubt   I am what can I do for you I do not recognize you  who are you what are

mission to end your life   okay success will mean a little respect among my  peers so you see you can do very little except die   yo I was killed for just a little respect please  first fight ever how's it going to go okay I'll   watch oh God okay no I'm doing good I'm doing  all right I can take a little bit of damage I   don't really understand if I'm hitting right here  oops or I feel like getting used to combat will be   something that I get used to the more and more I  do combat oops stop saying oops Lilith stop saying   oops and hit can I I can cast something right  well I don't need to he died of course Lilith   because I had imported my character I had some of  my equipment already on my character because I had   like played around with this a little bit earlier  so I took all

the world's knowledge so okay   so balers Gate 1 has temples now I'm trying to  think of another game that has a similar mechanic   to Temples where you can donate Goods like this  because I bet like well balers Gate 3 has a uh   it's not exactly the same okay so this is where  you go to raise dead slow poison cure light wounds   okay potion of healing that's a lot of money I  have nothing I'm not buying anything from this   man he can also identify stuff okay so if I I have  stuff to identify I can bring it to the church lovely I thought I'd asked  you to clean the rats out   of this building

Reaver because I don't think   I can take on all those rats with my fists I'm not  strong enough Reaver I'm sorry hey kid I woke up   late this morning left my sword in the barracks  before going on duty if you want to get it for me   it's in the chest of the foot of my bed if I want  to get it for you you going to give me anything I   don't want to get it for you you know this party  AI I'm sure

explode so I just have to do basically all of the   quests all the little side quests in town there's  so many tutors everywhere I should do all the side   quests in town and then you're goran's Little W  aren't you you match the description ah I don't   love that you don't look so dangerous to me and  what business is that of yours literally what   business is that of yours I'll take my business  if and I please just thought I'd have me a look   at you for myself before I put a blade down your  gullet is everybody trying to kill me here someone   seems to think you're trouble so I'm going to use  your head for a ticket out of the gutter I'm just   a little Street trash Hood they say but I'll  show them oh caros yeah you'll show them when   you're dead the ground I actually think I might  die here I really need to buy a weapon can I do   anything for myself like he's got a knife he's got  a knife man I'm punching with my fist I don't know   if worse comes to worse I can heal

see here just a  unconscious man alone can I just take his sword do   I have to be kind I'm literally immediately I just  started this game and I'm immediately asking if I   have to be kind like what was the point of picking  true neutral I said that was the most canonically   accurate for me but I should have picked chaotic  evil because that's the most canonically accurate   for me I feel like well hello there young one come  to visit your old pal Winthrop have you well don't   forget the 10,000 gold piece book entrance fee as  per candle keeps custom don't you know don't you   know that is outrageous what kind of fool do you  take me for stuff you're in and stuff your company   you always were the big kid or winra that gets  funnier very nearly every time I hear it well   perhaps not quite so often I fear I do not have  that kind of Entry Fe with me I suppose I shall   return When I do no be he's kidding H I just have  a bit of fun with ye my friend the monks may be   walking about with poles in their Nethers but you  know you are always welcome here in my sight Gan   did well by you he did so is anything I can do for  you some drinks a room to sleep or anything to buy   I actually do need to rest I am wicked low and  we just started the game I'm going to buy myself   a staff there so many items here maybe some armor  everything is so cheap I feel like like you start   getting into more expensive things but like the  fact that a staff was $1 yeah the arrows were   one I my 20 arrows for $1 so cheap I actually am  going to rest I'll be Merchant that's cheap what   about Royal yo $8 to stay in a Royal Room can I  have that now it's like $800 to stay in a royal   room here now in the US $8 please it's only two  more dollars more than noble yo every night I'd   be resting in the Royal Land I'm just going to  go with Merchant for now it's not that it's not   that important is there like a big difference here  with this nearly as restful as a weak in a lesser   room though who but royalty could afford the cost  what do you mean it's $3 more expensive who but   royalty could afford the three more pennies you  need ridiculous I'm going to go with a merchant   GA around campire and sing ourselves a song c m  p f i r s o n g song Keep Me worn keep me cozy   okay so that does like heal me that's nice to see  rumors how does this work if I buy buy me do I

Hull and you know what I'll take   my sweet time again goran's a fool for trying to  bring you ight you can tell him I said so too God   Hull I literally got your sword can I beat this  guy up if I don't know any better I'd say this   whole iron crisis is a result of twps like you  wandering off with people's swords you literally   got drunk and left it here's 10 gold pieces now  get out of here I'm on duty H I will break you H   gave me a 10 GP for bringing him his own dumb  sword I should have charged him extra for the   tongue lashing he gave me though yo literally  I love these little journal entries they're so   cute gion I am ready to go wait can I go in here  can I go in here okay I am now ready to go is this   where I lived by the way cuz jeez Louise little  pampered princess up in here my God is this our   house was this everyone else's house and this was  our house I got to know I really got to know the   te Goran this is you know what I'm going to do a  voice for this old man this is very unnerving I   know but you must trust me it is very important  that you pack your possessions so we may leave   candle keep immediately hurry but there is no  time to T the keep is well protected but not   invulnerable please Father tell me where will we  going alas I cannot for I have not truly decided   yet all that is certain is that we will be far  safer on the Move perhaps the woods might offer   some secluded security or perhaps the city of  Boulder's Gate oo little Baler action let's go   the city of Boulder's Gate would cover amidst  its teeming throngs of people people I do not   know where we shall end up but I have few friends  here and there I will think on this goran's voice   is killing me I will say I don't know how long  I can keep up his voice for I may have to drop   it what could possibly harm us here this place is  a fortress and guarded beyond measure candle keep   is indeed a formidable obstacle for NE do never  do worlds but it is not insurmountable no matter   how thick the mesh at at least one mosquito always  finds its way through no my child we must leave as   soon as possible for our safety and for that of  our friends here I'm ready to go right now let's   go let's Boogie let's Boogie listen carefully if  we ever become separated it is imperative that you   make your way to the friendly arm Inn there you  will meet khed and jira they have long been my   friends and you can trust them ooh KH jir I like  the sound of that that's oddly foric can only get   worse so we must find shelter soon don't worry  I will explain everything as soon as there is time okay wait there is something  wrong we are in an ambush prepare yourself you're perceptive for an old man  you know why I'm here hand over your ward   and no one will be hurt if you resist it  shall be a waste of your life I feel like   I recognize that I definitely recognize this  voice actor you're a fool if you believe I   would trust your benevolence step aside  and you and your laes will be unheard oh   God I'm sorry that you feel that way  old man oh no get out of oh God run oh oh God okay Goron okay look at him  look at him he's got it all oh   wow okay he's slaying okay he is slaying oh god oh is especially cruel this morning you awake  with the realization that you have not been   living some horrible dream ambushed you saw gorion  cut down before your eyes and even his powerful   magic could not stop the onslaught it was his  wish that you flee but that does not remove the   feeling of helplessness that knew this going to  happen hand over your ward the armored fiend had   said he was after you and you alone but why if  only Goran had given some clue but now you are   alone at lost candle keep is near but you will  find No Quarter there the readers pay for their   serenity with rather Draconian entry rules and  without goran's influence their doors will remain   closed you will not last long on your own with  your meager equipment perhaps you can get some   help from the friends Goran mentioned the ones  at the friendly arm okay yes I'm not wandering   around all by myself like literally no way in hell  I'm wandering around all by myself hey it's me emo   emo sorry I followed you but I never get out  a candle keep and those monks are such a bore   never any decent coin in their pockets neither  I I saw Goron and I am so sorry my God kind of   figured something bad might happen to you out here  how could you have known Goran didn't even tell me   I do not want you looking over my shoulder as  I travel take your nosy little self back to no   bring her not going to be able to open any locks  without her I recently wrote a letter on his desk   the other day can't remember exactly what it  said but he might still have it it might be on   his body anyway I'm not going to let you wander  around here all alone never let a friend down no   ma'am I stick with you until you say otherwise  I will I like em Mo oh emo you can stay with me   okay so we got a little map here okay so this is  the Ambush site I see so everything is blacked   out that we haven't looked at yet okay so we just  make our way making my way to my dad's dead body   as I peruse the Wilderness it's daytime right  like they wouldn't still be here no way staring   blankly ahead hoping not to get ambushed twice in  a row hi Dad well when I said I didn't want to be   doing Goron's voice for very long this isn't what  I meant but this isn't what I meant luckily he   killed a few people so I could take their loot too  I don't know why they didn't take their own guys   loot oh my God I'm already immediately encumbered  I just started immediately feeling like I should   have picked a um class with more carry weight my  friend Goran please forgive the abruptness with   which I now right but time is short and there is  much to be done what we have long feared May soon   come to pass though not in the manner foretold  and certainly not in the proper time frame as we   both know forecasting these events has proved  increasingly difficult leaving little option   other than a leap of faith we have done what  we can for those in my care but the time nears   when we must step back and let matters take what  course they will we have perhaps been a touch to   Sheltering to this point despite my desire to  remain neutral in this matter I could not in   good conscience let events proceed without some  measure of warning the other side will move very   soon and I urge the to leave Kindle keep this  very night if possible the darkness may seem   equally threatening but a moving Target is much  harder to hit regarding a moving Target is much   harder to hit regardless of how sparse the cover  a Fighting Chance is all that can be asked for   at this point should anything go AR right do  not hesitate to seek aid from Travelers along   the way I do not need to remind you that is it a  dangerous land even with our current conditions   and a party is stronger than an individual in all  respects should additional assistance be required   I understand that jira and khed are currently at  the friendly arms in they know little of what has   passed but they are ever thy friends and will  no doubt help however they can okay what does   copying the note do does that mean I can just  throw it out M Mo I have a a few extra Shields   would you like one sweetie emo and lucky you you  have a shield now you have a nice little weapon   don't you you have stuff on you sweetie oh my God  thank you you have good stuff on you I like all   this what is this wand oh my God don't mind if I  do that's mine now thank you okay I'll put this on you wearing armor is cute I like how it changes  like how you actually look I'm a little bit of an   expor exp myself and there is no way in hell that  I'm not going to explore this entire map oh did I I didn't do this on purpose okay I want the  record to show that I didn't do this on purpose okay stop out of control out of control am I 5 years old now that I got a  good laugh out of that I can continue on my Adventures I had to restart the game because  the sound broke restarting I am back exploring   exploring exploring exploring exploring  black bear can I talk to him no he's just   chilling I wonder if I could talk to him though  like is there anything that I could do maybe   like Druids can talk to animals jira my druid  gley I should probably be heading towards the   free whatever that they told me to head too but  I have no idea where that is let me look at the   world map actually okay it's up here so where am  I right now here my father's notes said that they   wouldn't let me back into candle keep so no point  in going there probably to the right and and then   up well I'm going to explore this whole damnn map  first I could go up and then to the right as well   I could do whatever I'm feeling we're to girlies  on a little adventure and we're going to explore   first okay oh blade will cut you down to side  charge okay first time in combat outside of on   the real world me and imoan are up against a wolf  and we may or may not be struggling a little bit   she's using her she's using her ranged weapon  up close which is a particular choice I would   say definitely not the one I would go with but  nonetheless does she not have another she has   a sword but I'm not entirely sure how to use it  maybe if I press this no I don't know we're not   doing very much damage to this wolf I will say  he is barely injured we're getting there we're   taking him down bit by bit bit by bit should I not  just be sitting back I feel like I should be doing   something thing I don't want to I can't really do  anything unfortunately I don't have any spells to   cast I'm just watching bye Wolfie our first party  death and it was just a poor little wolf problem   and it took 20 minutes bingos hi bingos sorry  Chum but I can't stop to chat there's been another   Caravan rated Northeast of baros and I must  report of these Dire Straits to the Grand Dukes   a messenger's work is never done really it is  never done through thicken th always got to have   Messengers delivering those RPG messages disease  giering injured okay immediately dead way easier   to take out than the wolf okay okay my party is  getting a little bit injured monteron and Zar   hi guys how are you you already be disturbed now  leave me be your compy be toil enough as his let   me read hello there kid rather strange place to  be wondering ain't it my companion has something   to say to you hi oh okay Zar you want to talkon  you are so aggravating she's disturbing to my demor God damn it a child wandering the Wilderness  surely you must be none too bright to be traveling   these roads wait so I am a child okay okay okay  see we've been wondering how old I am I am a   child and you look a bit scuffed too I find pair  of troubles all your own I can offer you healing   potions if you wish as a token of Goodwill I'd be  grateful for any assistance literally I prefer to   manage on my own I know you not and want none  of your heal no I'll take it thank you nothing   to fear from these simple potions and I'll not  even hold you in debt though your conscious knows otherwise just like all good people perhaps  as payment you would go with us to nashal it   is a troubled area and we mean to investigate  some disturbing rumors surrounding the local   mines some acquaintances are very concerned  about iron shortages specifically where to   lay blame in the matter You' be useful though  I'll not hold you to it we are to meet the   mayor of the Town a man named Baron Gaskill I  believe okay your Consciousness will be your   guide there's little else for me to do I  may as well go with you I would join you   but I must meet with someone first will you  go with me we've precious little time but   it's best to travel accompanied yay I will  go with you you owe us for our time though nice okay Zar and mandon wish me to travel to  nashal okay perfect I can do that I can travel   to nashal it's going to take a little while though  is that going to be a problem I damn well hope   that's not going to be a problem I did get two  more people in my team and I do love that and I   think you're ready to be leveled up let's go you  can pick pockets and open locks too I should look   at what everyone's classes I keep forgetting to  do that open locks find traps I'll probably have   you move silently actually you have a lot move  silently I'm just going to go even I don't really   know how to build anything just yet so figuring it  out figuring it out very cute form party I wonder   what that does can they be reformed so we have to  go to hello there oh my God there's still so much   in the map oh all of us hi quid quid do you need  something quid looks like he's coming over to me   get away brins a Hermit needs his piece what is  that it of course oh my God is that all you said   you just came over to me to start trouble okay  all right Fair fine whatever I hope there's no   um the existence of an in-game clock gives me  the feeling that there are timed actions which   I love and don't love because there's no way I'm  not going to get lost I'm going be honest with   you there's no way I'm not going to be getting  lost in this game man just exploring there's   something very therapeutic about seeing that  little black area just gets slightly more and   more and more I don't feel good Zar Zar wait my  God he's got one Health stop stop stop stop stop okay okay I think finally using the pause  button I can be helpful I've played tactical   games before we can heal really would like no  one to die he has four Health this is going to   be a nightmare not a problem this is going to  be a nightmare four Health four Health those   are pitiable numbers buddy West to Candle  keep I do know that that's where we came from what's here oh there's so much God I still  haven't unlocked this this is probably candle key   right yeah that is West look at me unlocking the  map that's all water over there so it's really   not that important I think we're going to the  right here actually so we're going to have to   move all the way over here exploring the map  making progress a lot of this is me waiting I   will say a lot of this is me waiting for my team  to move from one destination to another it takes   a little while but they're fun to watch they're  cuties you know especially when you explore all   the time although I do wonder if time goes by like  when I'm just exploring like this am I losing time   I must be right so I can go here okay so I'm one  step away perfect oh there Wonder hello stay thy   a moment there W say thy chor a moment to indulge  an old man it's been n into a 10 days since I've   seen a Soul walking this town and I've been  without a decent conversation since traveling   nowadays to appears to be the domain of either the  desperate or the deranged if thou would pardon my   intrusion may I inquire which pertains to thee  not to imply anything but how do you measure   up to your own standards pestering strangers  about their mental state doesn't seem all that   well adjusted to me a verit desperate actually  might you know the way to the friendly arms in I   was told I might find some friends there I'm not  surprised as a listen as strangers in the middle   of nowhere no matter how infirm they appear to be  off with you you know what I am in a little bit   of a please tell me where to go type of mood so  can you bring me to the friendly arms in please   that I would the Inn is but a short distance to  the north and its doors are open to all I have no   doubt that thy friends will be there waiting with  open arms okay good I shall take my leave and wish   thee all the best of course okay God I like this  so much coastway friendly arms in to the north   barago to the South Lion's Way West to Candle  key I know they head to the north but the the   south is looking a little bit tempting right now  looking a little bit tempting right now you know   what I mean okay I don't know how we're going to  fa here okay okay okay okay maybe this wasn't a   good idea maybe I should start quicksaving more  I feel like that would be the move when was last   time I quick save leave my man alone can he cast  spells from far away oh he can I need that oh okay   he got spells from far away let's do that oh God  she's like dead dead oh [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] she's   got to move she's got to move oh God oh God oh God  what is it I'm really like doing my absolute most   right now to keep everyone alive blast okay this  is hard this is hard this is hard this is hard   this is hard this is hard this is hard this is  hard this is hard I'm going to command someone to   stop oh God you've been healed what you want you  definitely have a potion right God look at me I   feel like I'm playing balers gate man the strategy  I am putting in right now is a lot okay we killed   him all right guys onward we go onward we go we're  almost there we almost there cut down this is like   the hardest battle okay look at us okay okay we're  surviving I might take a little bit of a rest I   feel like resting in this game is like like I I  should just rest whenever right do a little rest   oh I like how the rest changes in the woods that's  really cute I wonder if it changes like Tavern to   Tavern too or um area to area cuz I wonder if  some areas do look different okay oh so it's   night time now out here do you need something is  there a big difference between daytime and night   time you think I think there different monsters  about I really am just traveling wherever the I   damn well please it's too fun to explore it's  like literally just too fun to see like the   map opening up even though I know this leads to  nothing I'm still like ooh map to explore let's   go oh I don't like the Ambiance in the dark it's  very um it's very gloomy it's very like Zar is   going to die you know what I mean I can smell it  in the air Zara's death have four health I just   know it's going to [ __ ] me and doubt hi andou  mustach to barag I must Governor K that must be   told of the extra tubes being sent his way make  way for the messenger and out is good to meet you   you had nothing useful to say and I regret even  engaging in a conversation with you ooh Bandits   loot loot loot loot nothing huh looks like it's  kind of been like picked clean although didn't we   meet someone who said something about a caravan  being upturned is this a common problem I do   not like this I thought we just rested did it not  heal us oh did it not heal us cuz we're not like   in a now I'm curious [ __ ] man he takes like he  really is so weak like he cannot be attacking from closeup oh God like what am I supposed to do is  there some sort of way to have him only attack   from far away he just doesn't attack at all  I just don't like him I just started playing   I don't like this guy already I'm going to die  taking a lot of damage oh God our best is Monon   he really gets in [Applause] [Music] there okay  okay it's fine it's fine we're doing okay still   look at us we're all doing okay everyone's  doing okay I don't like how we don't fully   rest outside that's okay that's okay we're  learning we're learning all right we still   have so much of this map to unlock it's too  fun I should rest again you think I literally   need to rest again if I rest again then will  it be daytime I'm going to do it why not why   not just rest whenever I can unless there's  some qualms to resting the game didn't tell   me did I not meet that particular wizard I must  not have met that particular wizard guys okay   so we're not healed but did we heal a little bit  I don't think so oh he has a level up can I get   more Health on you buddy get more Health on you  please eight nice okay eight is better than four   I will say h some of this part I'm like I feel  like there's a way that I should be unlocking   this like I should be strategically thinking  about how I walk but instead I'm like a mess   and I'm just like o forgot over here forgot over  here forgot over here just zigzagging across the   map constantly wasting so much time there seems  like there might be something down here maybe nope just a waste of my time oh another Caravan this  is not a waste of my time okay so there seems to   be all these raided Caravan around here which  is interesting Shield I'll take that I should   equip my party with some of the stuff I picked up  but I'm going to wait a little bit longer there's   literally no point to waiting a little bit longer  not sure I really have anything though I have this   Shield you can use a shield character's too far  away what do you mean now we equipped you use that   you use that and he has some spells can he learn  them I'm curious no and onward we go looting the   dead corpses of others and then continuing  on our journey ah love that smell Lilith is   encumbered I need to pay attention sometimes  oh my God one of my characters just moving its   snail speed yeah guys I'm coming okay she just  has no he has a lot more carry weight than she does these guys again they're not too tough  then again I'm not too tough so I got to be   careful so okay so she ran out of arrows and she  went in with her little Shield that's very cute   I think that I should use a little Shield  because become death destroyer of world I   think that I could use it no with my staff nah I  wish okay exploring exploring exploring exploring   exploring exploring not going to explore for  too much longer cuz I'm going to go to bed   soon it is currently 1:33 a.m. I should get some  rest to pick this up in the morning I don't like   this all these blue men oh God we're about  to be taken down
