I've Never Played Baldur's Gate 3. Can I Guess What Class These Characters Are?

Do what you will but I will never admit that Gale is a wizard. One of the Owlbears, JT, has never played Baldur's Gate 3, because he doesn't have a life. So let's embarrass him and ruthlessly mock him for his ignorance as he tries to guess what classes these characters are!
Heartwood Heist is the first campaign for Owlbear Odysseys and we play every first, third and fifth Saturday at 7:00 PM CT. Check us out on Twitch, KZread, and TikTok.
We can't wait to see you on our Odysseys!

    Tbf while he is rhetorically strong, he often doesn't care for the feelings of others (or so it seems), so sounds harsh and mean often, which might represent his "lows" on charisma. On the other hand it is just a game value and DnD is kinda limiting on how that is reflected on the character. BG3 does the right thing in seperating the two

    My head cannon for characters with seemingly out of character stats (shadowhearts intelligence gales strength being lower than a child astarion being as persuasive as a random nobody while being a vampire and a charlatan) for shadowheart repeated mind wipes have given her brain damage making her retain information much harder and learning new information much slower. Astarion is so obviously 2 faced yet charming that you want to listen but would never trust him unless he dropped his glib demeanor. Gales muscles are fake. As in he doesn't actually work out they're made with magic. Or the pain from the orb makes it difficult for him to exert himself to much.

Despite complaining about his knees, he keeps up with the party rather well. He's climbing as many twisted vines and cragged rocks as everyone else. Maybe he is more endurance than strength. ...that's all I got. Maybe they just wanted him to look hot. Maybe Mystra wanted his body to fit her preferences. He's not even the worst offender. My man...

    @@HeadDetectiveLassie Halsin is definitely a worse offender. With Gale, you can chalk it up to either laziness or efficiency, depending on how charitable you want to be. Every character just uses a default body model, and the male bodies are both absolutely shredded. Gale just has the one that looks less shredded. With Halsin, it just seems like his stats are completely incongruent with his design inherently. They gave him the "strong" body type, but only 10 STR. No excuse.

    I feel like he 100% needed full-body shots. Asterion as a bard still probably would have been the call. But Gale in a purple robe? 100% magic user. Karlach is a tall, beefy lady. Would have maybe leaned toward something physical. Halsin maybe would have gotten barbarian too, since he's a big boy. As far as Jaheria goes, I see a character design with half of the hair braided and lots of brown and green on the clothing, I'm instantly thinking druid. The clothing is sooooooo much a part of the character design.

    My favourite Minsc factoid is that BG1, which was based off of Second Edition, had minimum anility score requirements for classes. Despite being a ranger, Minsc's Wisdom is not high enough to qualify -- it's 9. There is, on the optional critical hit tables, a head injury result which permanently halves all your mental stats. (Int, Wis, Cha). Soon after introducing himself, he brings up that he had a severe head injury in the past.

    So here’s the thing, respeccing a character immediately sets their ability scores to the default for their class. For some reason recruiting the companions in the later acts also respecs them when they join, that’s why after recruiting Minsc’s strength isn’t very high either and Jaheira’s dex is lower than it should be to actually work with her scimitar. That’s actually why Halsin has low strength. If you inspect him before recruiting him you will see that he has 16 strength I believe. Once you add him to your party it just sets him to low strength since Druids don’t need strength.

    I haven't played Baldur's Gate I, II or III, so here are my picks; Astarion Bard; Gale Fighter/Pirate; Halsin Ranger; Jaheira Sorceress; Karlach Warlock;; Laez'el barbarian; Minsc Monk; Minthara Cleric; Shadowheart Cleric; Wyll Bard. I was close to their expert, often following the same logic and having the same second choices.

    TO BE FAIR. Jaheira is canonically a druid/fighter multiclass character. She's been like that in all her former appearances so if he chose either of those two. You'd be right.

  • @HH-hd7nd
    @HH-hd7nd8 күн бұрын

    14:39 In BG 1 and 2 Jaheira is actually not a pure druid - she's a Fighter/Druid. But don't forget that those games where based on AD&D 2e which had very different rules and also a different class system. 20:33 Nope, this is Minsc's BG 2 picture. Minsc is in all three games, and he is in fact one of the beginner companions in BG2. In BG1 he had a habit of dying in a lot of people's games because of a special mechanic in that game in terms of some companions: They came in pairs and if you left one behind then both leave the party which was a bit problematic in the case of Minsc. In BG 1 there are over 20 possible companions throughout the game and a lot of them are martial class characters - and while Minsc was a good melee combatant there where others that where just better (the palading Ahantis, the ranger Kivan, the Fighter/thief Coran, the fighter Shar'teel...arguebly even the fighter Kagain who didn't deal as much damage but as a dwarf had such a high constitution score that he actually slowly regerated HP while exploring, and the fighter/cleric Yeslick who was an ok fighter but at the same time a cleric as well. Minsc's partner character however, Dynaheir, is hands down the best magic user in BG1 which means that unless people played a magic user as the main character literally everyone and their dog wanted Dynaheir in their party. Jaheira also had a partner character btw - her husband Khaleed, a fighter. However - Khaleed was the weakest fighter in the game.

    The head portrait of Astarion didn't even show his elven ears, but calling him a "tiefling" when he doesnt even have horns is a weird read. Also, considering what weird hair/skin/eye colours elves can have in Forgotten Realms and how Astarion is so pale and has silvery-grey-white hair, the red eyes are supposed to make people think he's an albino. What is far more telling in-game is how you can see the two scars on his neck when you first meet him if you pay a little bit of attention (esp if you get the scene where he tackles you to the ground) and the tiny fangs when he talks...

    There really aren't multiple ways to pronounce "Astarion". Just one. The way the way the voice actor himself pronounces it and also every other character in the game: _[Ah-STAH-ri-on]._ For crying out loud, when you first meet Astarion in-game he introduces himself to you _by name!_ The only person who started this "A-stair-ion" American pronunciation was the gamemaster guy who ran the promo D&D5E BG3 "sidequest" for the BG3 voice actors where they played as the BG3 characters.

    Hey to be fair, Halsin is an outlander and he's wild, so that does fit the barbarian vibe. Also, it took me way too long to find Gale in the game (actually if I hadn't looked it up he'd have died in that portal), and both his personality and his voice were nothing like I imagined from looking at his picture. He sounds sweet and nerdy, but looks like he'd have a lower voice, and be a typical leading fighting man. I'm glad he isn't. Also, my feelings about Lae'zel changed throughout the game, and I legit cried when we said goodbye 😭

    Quite a bit off on the Gith there ngl. Githyanki have a very high inclination for fighters specifically (not martials overall) due to their militaristic nature, magic users of all kinds still exist (usually more arcane in nature if they do show themselves). Whereas, Githzerai have a very high inclination for the spiritual and are almost never to be seen using arcane based magic unlike the Githyanki. Most of the Githzerai are gonna be monks, with the occasional cleric/paladin.
