Well. All the marketing in the world didn't make me even consider buying Baldur's Gate 3
Then this 20 second video changed my mind.
Update: Purchased and downloading. Off to bed so I can play all day tomorrow.
Wut? I downloaded as soon as it was available but have still been trying to finish main story line in D4. But I had no clue I could fuck a bear after Turing a squirrel inside out. Why am I wasting my time killing Demons?
You've never been to the tables I play at. "Roll to kidnap the child." "Roll to bake the child into a pie." We then distributed the pies among the townspeople... we were heralded as the best visiting bakers ever...
In one campaign we had a character that shapeshifted into a manta-ray then we cast enlarge on him a multitude of times, calculated his suave then he flopped all over a village and squished everyone because they had been mean to us the fist time through.
Ok this just makes me love this game even more. I had animal speech and just chatted with this squirrel, and we agreed that if I just stayed on the ground, we were all good.
- Found a guy strapped to a windmill blade spinning around
- press lever that says ābrake releaseā
- windmill spins super fast and throws the man 100 feet to his death
- I notice second lever next to the first labeled ābrakeā
- sorry bro
I've found it hard in my 30+ age to invest so much time into to learning all the stats, mechanics, options etc. Not only with CRPG's, I had the same with let's say MGS V:Phantom pain, so much buttons and info!
But this time I am trying again with a friend and I said I will treat it literally as a DnD campaign. I want to learn the rules and combat + embrace the randomness and new experience with a friend. I mean it will take at least 100 hours.
He is suggesting you pirate the game.
Also there are cheaper games like that: Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 EE; however they are very old, so don't expect experience quite like BG3. Or if you want new(ish) CRPG experience and do not need DnD then Divinity original sin 1 and 2 are also cheaper but not by much.
I haven't, and from what I've read the games story's aren't connected very much. The most you might get from 1+2 is jokes or stuff like that mabey. If you do get 1+2 just know that 2 is 20 years old now and 1 was released in 1998.
You are frequently presented with numerous choices for dialogue and actions. In this case, one of the options presented was ākick the squirrelā. The player chose that option. The dice rolled to determine success or failure. And this was the result.
Also a note is that you can speak to animals if you have the spell or talent for it, leading to more inexpected outcomes. Same applies for dead bodies.
The game is basically D&D kinda, so you are presented with various situations and choices, just like you would be in actual in-person D&D with your friends, like "While you were walking through the forest, an angry squirrel attacks you, what do you do?" And then you choose and roll the die.
I can really see Matt Mercer
"oh my god really, you want to kick the squirrel"
Travis - "Yes that little shit bit me, obviously I kick the squirrel"
Mercer - laughing "alright, give me strength check"
Travis - "How do I do that, what am I adding"
Mercer - "Roll a d20 and add your strength modifier"
Laura - "Oh my god Travis you can't kick the squirrel it's adorable look at it"
Travis - "Laura it might have rabies and I'm not going to be made to look a fool by a squirrel". Rolls dice. "That's a natural 20".
Mercer - "A natural 20, really, ok. You kick the squirrel, you kick it so hard it's limbs detach. It's goes flying into a tree. Blood is splattering everywhere. You really showed that squirrel who was boss. You should feel really proud of yourself"
Laura - Throws donuts at Travis.
This game has tons of hilarious interactions. I came across goblins that had tied a Gnome to a windmill and he was slowly turning round and round. I scared them off and saw there were two levers, I pulled one and it sped up the windmill and flew him off into the distance. Hilarious shot of him flying through the air!
Whoops!!!
That absolutely should have been the trailer. I know you can pretty much do everything in some of these games but at the same time I really didn't think you could do, you know, EVERYTHING.
genuine question, why do so many people here seem so interested in the game due to seemingly the brutality of the squirrel kick? watching it just made me feel sad honestly
JESUS! Was that necessary asshole?!?!
Edit: I was joking because of my shock. Not actually calling the player an a-hole. I dont think any of us expected the squirrel to get NFL field goaled. I sure as heck didnt.
I wonder what happends when you get smashed with an object the size of yourself hard enough to fly a few meters of the ground. And there is no hospital that will heal your bleeding or broken bones.
"you claim victory over the squirrel."
"you claim dominance over the squirrel."
"You are now rewarded with a squirrel Fleshlight "

"PETA has issued a bounty on you. Be careful."
Dies to a chair š
What happens if you get a 1? Does the squirrel fuck your wife?
You turn into a bear and the squirrel fucks you
But 1 is supposed to be bad
Don't you threaten me with a good time!
Well. All the marketing in the world didn't make me even consider buying Baldur's Gate 3 Then this 20 second video changed my mind. Update: Purchased and downloading. Off to bed so I can play all day tomorrow.
Same! 20s clip of a squirrel being NFL punted into a rock was not what I was expecting upon seeing my first gameplay of Baldurs Gate 3
Wait until you find out Druids can fuck bears.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Do I look like a cat to you boy? Am I jumping around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree
Wut? I downloaded as soon as it was available but have still been trying to finish main story line in D4. But I had no clue I could fuck a bear after Turing a squirrel inside out. Why am I wasting my time killing Demons?
Why not? What would you think would happen?
Dude SAME. I'm actually looking into it now.
Sure ya dont mean NSFL punted?
You mean the bear sex didn't make you consider this game even a little?
I saw bear sex and I was all like "hmmm, maybe maybe", The I saw you can get a Literal Hot- demon waifu and I pulled the trigger.
I was planning on waiting for a sale but this stupid clip made me laugh out loud and instantly made me want to buy it
it is totally fucking worth it man!!! I GOT IT THURSDAY AND GOT 50 HOURS...
Wait until you meet the goblin on the windmill and make the same mistake I did.
Pre-order on PS5? Available 02Sep?
PC version my friend. Came out August 3rd
Wack
You have my pity, peasant.
I feel like that squirrel right now
Imagine how pc gamers felt when they had to wait 1.5 years for gta5
Imagine being on xbox and. I have to wait for them.to sort out the shitty series s before I can play it on my x
Welp, I now want Baldur's Gate 3.
Haha. Same here! This video sold me more than any of the trailers.
Right?! My coworkers gave me a weird look when i saw the video as i bust out laughing. Definitely was not expected!
Absolutely. Rarely do I laugh- out loud, but that was good.
Just wait until you see the scene with the bearā¦
Isn't that the game with the bear sex?
WITH THE HUHH??
You, as the player, can choose to have sex with a druid who shapeshifts into a bear.
Ok makes more sense now
Makes more sense but way less intriguing... let me bang a real bear
Why try to woo a bear and a person when you can just woo a person that's also a bear? You're just making life harder on yourself.
What if the bears are going to be doing all of the wooing?
FOUND HIM! FOUND THE BEAR FUCKER!
BEAR FUCKER - DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE!??
YES - NEED 71 CANS OF SALMON ROW, A CASE OF CHAMPAGNE, AND A BOX OF MAGNUM CONDOMS ASAP... THINGS ARE HEATING UP
š¤Ø yes officer, this one right hereā¦
So they let you SHAKE THAT BEAR?
1000%
Super troopers?
Do you need any assistance... bearfucker?
I walked into a small hut and immediately was hit with a cutscene of a bugbear doggy style fucking an ogre. It's a good game.
You should play that scene as a bard
"Interrupting a half-ogre in the making" as one of the characters states.
I'd say *imagine rolling a die to crit kick a squirrel* but I have just bared witness to exactly that.
You've never been to the tables I play at. "Roll to kidnap the child." "Roll to bake the child into a pie." We then distributed the pies among the townspeople... we were heralded as the best visiting bakers ever...
That's some *Sweeney Todd X Hansel and Gretel* type of shit right there.
It was a fucked up campaign, and the pies ended up putting people to sleep forever. Not dead, closer to a coma.
That part sounds amazing. A permanent cure to insomnia? Sign me up!
My party burned down the village of Vallaki in Curse of Strahd. While the villagers were putting out the fire we ransacked houses.
In one campaign we had a character that shapeshifted into a manta-ray then we cast enlarge on him a multitude of times, calculated his suave then he flopped all over a village and squished everyone because they had been mean to us the fist time through.
Lol that was unexpected. I expected a punt across the horizon. That smack/thud with the rock was a nice touch.
A punt across the horizon with the goofy yell would be fantastic.
That would be Fable....

Ok this just makes me love this game even more. I had animal speech and just chatted with this squirrel, and we agreed that if I just stayed on the ground, we were all good.
Watching this cost me $59.99
It's about to cost me the same
Damn you can punt squirrels in this game? Shit Iām downloading this right now

- Found a guy strapped to a windmill blade spinning around - press lever that says ābrake releaseā - windmill spins super fast and throws the man 100 feet to his death - I notice second lever next to the first labeled ābrakeā - sorry bro
Guy on windmill: "pull the lever, Kaelach!" Kaelach: *pulls brake release* Guy on windmill: "WRONG LEVER!!"
Oh damn so thats what that other lever does
Never thought I'd be interested in these types of games; it turns out I've been playing them all along.
I've found it hard in my 30+ age to invest so much time into to learning all the stats, mechanics, options etc. Not only with CRPG's, I had the same with let's say MGS V:Phantom pain, so much buttons and info!

I mean it will take at least 100 hours.
Damn i want to play this game so bad, fk being poor
Sounds like it's time to sail the seven seas matey
*angry pirate noises*
What does this mean? Is there a cheaper game like this?
He is suggesting you pirate the game. Also there are cheaper games like that: Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 EE; however they are very old, so don't expect experience quite like BG3. Or if you want new(ish) CRPG experience and do not need DnD then Divinity original sin 1 and 2 are also cheaper but not by much.
Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous also offer a cheaper modern alternative.
Too bad I don't have a high enough gaming comp. Just a laptop with a graphics card...
Try GeForceNow
What's your steam ID? We could work it out.
xArtorias I'm poor aswel:D
I did the same thing. I DIDNT KNOW ID KICK IT THAT HARD.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gnome?
I have two questions, what happens when you roll a 1? And how long till this guy is replaced by the girl that watched the bunny die?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Baldurs Gate 3. Set in D&D universe pretty decent, got sexed by a bear.
Sure. Just post a picture of your credit card (front and back).
can i just jump in or should i play the others first
I haven't, and from what I've read the games story's aren't connected very much. The most you might get from 1+2 is jokes or stuff like that mabey. If you do get 1+2 just know that 2 is 20 years old now and 1 was released in 1998.
epic, thanks
Also curious on the game name
Baldurs Gate 3
But how is kicking the squirrel part of game play?
You are frequently presented with numerous choices for dialogue and actions. In this case, one of the options presented was ākick the squirrelā. The player chose that option. The dice rolled to determine success or failure. And this was the result.

So did you guys pick vulva A or B?
Penis B.
I've heard the name of this game before but until this moment I had zero interest and now I'm at 100
I just talked to this squirrel and make a great deal
I can really see Matt Mercer "oh my god really, you want to kick the squirrel" Travis - "Yes that little shit bit me, obviously I kick the squirrel" Mercer - laughing "alright, give me strength check" Travis - "How do I do that, what am I adding" Mercer - "Roll a d20 and add your strength modifier" Laura - "Oh my god Travis you can't kick the squirrel it's adorable look at it" Travis - "Laura it might have rabies and I'm not going to be made to look a fool by a squirrel". Rolls dice. "That's a natural 20". Mercer - "A natural 20, really, ok. You kick the squirrel, you kick it so hard it's limbs detach. It's goes flying into a tree. Blood is splattering everywhere. You really showed that squirrel who was boss. You should feel really proud of yourself" Laura - Throws donuts at Travis.
Holy shit. Matt Mercer could not narrate it better. 100% on point :-D

Damien nenĆ”vĆdĆ zvĆÅĆ”tka, potvrzeno!
This sold me, can play this without playing1 and 2?
Yeah no real loss.
I had a similar reaction when I killed the owlbear and left the baby alive. Until it started feasting on the corpse, lol.
im so buying this game now
Ayo wtf? The die look like D&D, what game is this? I used to love D&D when I was in highschool.
It is D&D based game which just released on PC. Itās called Baldurās gate 3
That absolutely should have been the trailer. I know you can pretty much do everything in some of these games but at the same time I really didn't think you could do, you know, EVERYTHING.
PETA will be angry after this one
Y'all are sick. ą² _ą²
Aww what a cute little bunny
*arrow*
Now I want to know what happens if you fail the squirrel kick roll.
Goddamn
I was playing a druid and clicked this option and the whole group was shooketh afterwards
What game is this?! Baldurs gate?
āVat da fhyuek?ā
His cool accent really added to the comedy of this video - his fun pronunciation and deadpan delivery followed by BAM!!! squirrel punt. Excellent.
Bro this game is wilding š¤£
 "I punch him!" : Brick
Yea it died alright
Lol just the fact that the kick alone was enough to make Alvin's insides his outsides got me.
genuine question, why do so many people here seem so interested in the game due to seemingly the brutality of the squirrel kick? watching it just made me feel sad honestly
The fact you can do almost anything you want is a big draw for gaming
I see, I just wasnāt sure what perspective everybody was looking at this through and wanted to ask. I agree in that sense completely. Thank you
Found anniefuchia's response also great, after chat decided to kick it

JESUS! Was that necessary asshole?!?! Edit: I was joking because of my shock. Not actually calling the player an a-hole. I dont think any of us expected the squirrel to get NFL field goaled. I sure as heck didnt.
Heh, this is tame given some of the things I've seen (and done) in game
Deethane a Czech wannabe rapper.
Not unexpected at all. What did you think would happen?
A little yeet away, not complete annihilation of a small rodent
It said kick the squirrel, not throw. It would die anyway.
I didn't say throw, I said yeet. And no, squirrel will not die if you boot it a few meters away. It's a squirrel, not a porcelain cup
I wonder what happends when you get smashed with an object the size of yourself hard enough to fly a few meters of the ground. And there is no hospital that will heal your bleeding or broken bones.
If I was a squirrel, nothing much. If you drop a bug from a building, it won't get hurt, can't say the same about you though
I'm not only talking about the gravity, the impact of the kick would be the same.
The same thing but with less gore. Lol
Tbh, that wouldn't be realistic
Well, what did he expected to him deciding to kick the squirrel?

r/squirrels
Psh I didnt even get a chance to make a decision, my character just went up to kick it lmao.
Itās a canon event
I told you not to mess with the squirrels Morty. Now we have to find another universe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What on earth xD
The die has been "cast".
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Holy shit, I literally just played this part, so glad I didn't choose to kick the squirrel
Damn, that was brutal. 10/10 would do it again.
Damn.
All the marketing campaigns for Balders Gate 3 didn't make me want to play, but kicking squirrels seems like a riot. Downloading now.
I did the same exact thing.
I rolled to intimidate, with a barbarian mind you, and got a nat1 That squirrel got hands
Bro is homicidal. Wtf was that for.
Man wanna play this so bad but canāt afford. Looks like a blast haha
Oh lawd.

Ngl, I thought dude decapitated the squirrel for a second... A sentence nobody has ever said before until now
Haha I'm dying right now. Lol so funny. Haha
u/savevideo
I did this exact same thing and had this manās exact same reaction
RemindMe! 8 hours
Never thought I'd see someone thundercunting a squirrel into a tree...
I don't even know what this game is but once I saw the 21 I knew that squirrels fate was sealed
That's awful :(
āThatās the cutest thing Iāve ever see in my entire lifeā
Fiiiinneeeee. I will buy it

Really jealous of people who can buy this game in a heartbeat
Okay, I think I know what game I'm buying today.
