The way the lead developers talk about Swen is way beyond how the people at e.g. Bethesda talk about Todd Howard. It shows a passion and companionship that every studio should have.

@GomulDart

probably chose spores because of it's relevance to certain parts of BG3. Lots of druids in Act 1, and without spoiling too much, there are some areas and quests that are appropriate for a Spores Druid. There's also a lot of Underdark in this game as well, which is another reason I think they chose spores druid and gloomstalke ranger in particular. They seem to have limited themselves to 3 subclasses per class, otherwise it would get messy pretty quick and balancing would be all over the place, and it seems like they chose subclasses that are appropriate for, or relate to, the setting. They did squeeze some subclasses together too, like pact of blade/hexblade warlock and some others.

Part of me wants to start Monk to lvl 6 for shadow step asap, then go gloomstalker but I haven't decided on how many levels given BG3's lvl 12 cap. This might sound crazy, but I'm considering 1 lvl Monk, then 1 lvl Ranger (for Hunter's Mark to use with Flurry of Blows for early damage boost), then back to Monk til lvl 6. The main reason for this is that I don't know how long it will take to get to lvls 7-8 in game, but it'll probably feel like forever since we're doing a completionist run. I don't want to lag behind the rest of my party too much but I figure I can stomach getting my 2nd attack one level later than everyone else. Care to share any tips?

Amazing depth. Can't wait

Looking forward to multiclassing like mad. Shadowheart with Rogue levels when I'm playing the primary Cleric, Astarion with gloomstalker, Lae'zel with barbarian (you know she has anger issues)(assuming I don't throw her off a cliff), Karlach already spent some time in war so being a fighter works well (plus we can throw Lae'zel off the cliff!), and Will is an obvious paladin.

Great, now I want to play every class and I've no idea what to play first!🤪 I can't wait to start and managed to play only 13h in EA to spoil as less as possible for my first playthrough 😋 greetings from switzerland

What an amazing video, but got me more confused about which class I want to start with :)

I always loved Sorcerers and Clerics even from all the way back of Baldur's Gate 1

I want to see JoCat review these classes.

I'm definitely playing sorcerer

The amount of love and sense put into it, this has to be the game of the decade ☮️🙂💟

I absolutely love the game even in early access, I just hope the cut scenes are cleaned and aren’t so buggy. I’m sure they will be cleaned up but we are only a couple weeks away and they are rough.

jesus im so excited for this game

They said bards get their "magical secret" at 10, but Lore get it at 6th as well. Really hoping they stuck to that, that's the primary appeal of Lore, at least for me.

I'm sure they will, considering that is one of their main features, they didn't mention extra attacks for Swords and Valour bards either, but I'm sure they'll get them

Swen is all about that flight or fireball response.

As soon as they said that Bard gets to pick a spell from other classes I went "oooh". Love that kinda stuff.

I wonder if a Warlock / Paladin would have narrative implications

Questionable as for the overarching narrative but there’s plenty of little bits where your character’s class and race can influence various aspects of side quests/ sub stories.

the last time, i felt soo much hype for a game was 2015 for The Witcher 3!

Agreed, the more cinematic presentation (like Bioware, CDProjekt, etc) makes that a valid comparison.

Looking like this might be the Witcher 3 of cRPGs

@@brilobox2 Witcher 3 is giga overrated. 🤷

Its ironic how they discuss Cleric in the "Warlock" part🤣Its that joke again, that Warlock are basicly Clerics with the Demon instead of Deity

ok, waiting on Real time with pause option. Thats Baldur's Gate!! Thx guys im excited for the feature to come out!

I've let this game marinating for 3 years, 0 minutes played, 0 spoilers, 0 knowledge of anything, my time is coming.
