Very useful to refresh your knowledge from a time lapse If you are coming back from the EA to the release. Also, incredibly useful for any beginner or people like the OC that lacks experience with Larian games (most of the functions are coming from as back as the first Original Sin).

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

@@selunea404 Yep it feels very similiar to DoS2 but they added a lot of amazing quality of life features (Group hotkey + Group Hide are SO nice). I kinda liked DoS2's skillbar more, but I saw videos from others that the skillbar got re-worked for release compared to EA

@kaip310 9 месяцев назад

Additionally, the " ` " key (Upper left of the keyboard, usually the command console key) also highlights all characters within sight on the map. So if you're having trouble locating a squirrel somewhere around, or trying to locate an enemy in combat's silouhette, it's perfect for helping to clear up the confusion!

@Luckie-fm6np 9 месяцев назад

Great, easy to follow vid. To add one more small thing to the mix, i find that using the dip action on a candle for extra fire damage on my bow esepcially to be huge. You can take it out of your inventory, place it, light it, dip your weapon, then pick it back up all for 1 bonus action (the dip). It lasts for 3 turns and a lot of the time you would waste that bonus action anyways.

The chest of the Mundane from the Magic tower allows you to store a seemingly infinite ammount of heavy items on you, as they are transformed into generic household items.

If you want to keep Astarion's "Happy" buff up all the time for Act 1, keep the sleeping bugbear in the Blighted Village alive. When you venture out from a long rest, teleport to the village and have Astarion do his thing while sneaking. It won't wake the bugbear up and you'll have the buff up for every fight til your next long rest. Then just do it again next time you long rest. EZ permanent buff uptime.

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

Is it bad I don't even know what PHB means lol I didn't play much DND. I just played an absolute ton of Divinity and the Early Access of Baldur's Gate. Had a ton of fun just trying random stuff and learning it and every time I showed a friend they'd be mindblown so I was like lets try showing others I guess

@aldoushuxley5953 9 месяцев назад

@@ProxyGateTactician PHB is the abbreviation for Players Handbook, which is the core book of fifth edition dnd. Later, we got expansions, and some of the subclasses are from other books (Gloomstalkers come from Xanathars Guide to Everything etc), but in general, the game adopted all the PHB subclasses, races, spells and feats. Yes, I think your opinion is interesting to me, since I never really played divinity, so I know some of the dnd stuff, but none of the Larian specific things.

Playing this game brought me back to the feelings and vibes I got from gaming as a child. Not a whole ton of info on how to play and with a decently high but not too crazy difficulty (Im on normal). Its been neat going to the net to find out what people are doing in the game (when i was a kid not a lot of people had the internet and forums were a pretty new thing) and I ive been learning a lot from other peoples play styles and having a blast with trial and error. I know Im rambling at this point, but man its just nice having this feeling again.

You're now officially my favourite BG3 channel. Wolfheart and Mortismal gave good news coverage but recently it's just been them reading out of the PHB so this is a hugely welcome and useful channel. Hope you keep blowing my mind! Can't wait for you to get your hands on the alchemy and crafting systems in game, those were brilliant in DoS2.

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

Crafting in DoS2 was so complex almost no one did it lol you basically needed the Wiki on a 2nd screen. But those crafted spells were game changing. The cool stuff like nails in boots and other stuff I bet 99% of players didn't ever do.

@@ProxyGateTacticianFor some things to be crafted, I feel like you had to have knowledge of it and if not it became impossible to know. Nevertheless, I do enjoy crafting in that way.

Doh. :) The only thing that might be handy that I don't think was in this video was the "Send to Wares" option on items in the inventory. This means you can go to a trader and Barter then just sell all the marked items in one shot and not have a drag and drop nightmare. That's probably obvious to most people but it took me ages to realise that this is what this was for in EA. 4 more sleeps....... :D

I've been trolling RU-vid for years now and your channel is 1 of 9 that I've actually subscribed to. How do you do so well and only have 2 videos on your channel? Your editing is excellent. You include timestamps. You don't add unnecessary fluff. The content and information you are presenting is unique and helpful to ALL players. Nothing feels like "click bait". If this is a secondary or "do-over" channel then clearly you paid attention the first time around and are doing it right. If this is genuinely your first attempt then you REALLY paid attention and came out swinging.

I also just started making BG3 content, and I must bow to you. These are actually unknown extremely useful tips, even if I have 200 hours. I don't know how you have time to record all these specific clips, I am super impressed

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

I think I spent around 70 hours on a 10 minute video so I don't recommend it at all lol I didn't plan to have this many specific clips but after writing it I just felt like ok I need this and this and this and this. Thanks though and good luck on your content too. I'll check it out!

Thank you for the Video. These are some seriously good tips. I have(last I checked)370Hrs in EA and I just learned a few new things I honestly did not know or even consider. Peace

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

Glad to hear! I've tried to hit a balance between giving tips for veterans and also for beginners and looks like I can usually share a few that almost no one else was aware of. I'm sure you've got some secrets of your own at that many hours.

The bag tip is very useful hopefully larian or mods in the future allow us to label the bags we carry so we know whats in what without looking for stuff for too long.

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

In Divinity 2 they actually added it to the base game in their own "Mod" pack, but they added it in such a way it was incredibly annoying. Every single item u looted would go into one of like 15 pre-labeled bags that you could never figure out where the item went. It became a meme in the community that if you turned that feature on then you bricked your save file because it couldn't be turned back off.

@Albatorwow 9 месяцев назад

@@ProxyGateTacticianhopefully they didnt get brain damage since then, and could just allow us to "nickname" a bag. Like 1 backpack says "Potions n stuffs" and the other one says "ducks and potatoes" so I can know where I'm gonna stash my potions, and ducks.

@Akamaru015 9 месяцев назад

Another tip. You can throw healing potions at allies (in a group) to heal them all up. If you just revived someone its a great use of your bonus action it gives them that much more of a buffer when they get up.

@Nevikhad 9 месяцев назад

You can throw as an action, not bonus, but yes, throwing potions is fine to heal ranged.

@imblackmagic1209 9 месяцев назад

and it's an aoe heal on top, instead of healing only 1 person, you can heal more than 1 if you bunch them up

@Akamaru015 9 месяцев назад

@@imblackmagic1209yeah forgot too add that because it does take an action but 1 potion can heal your whole team to full if its a high enough level

@ravenspe 9 месяцев назад

Only healing potions? I tried this with another potion, trying to give an ally level II spell slot and it just hit the ground doing nothing.

@Akamaru015 9 месяцев назад

@@ravenspe healing, poison. the spell slot one may be single atrget i.e dont let it hit the ground. honestly for spell castors just move it to their inventory, only a bonus action to use. usually they wont be using a bonus action.

@ZoeBateman 9 месяцев назад

I don’t remember seeing it in this video, but a very underrated shortcut to know is for grouping and ungrouping the party, default hotkey is “g”. Especially useful if you’re doing a lot of sneaking around, or if you want to force your party to take (pretty much required) damage like jumping down from somewhere and taking fall damage if there’s no “safe” place to jump, or making them run through hazards if they can’t jump far enough. It can help a lot with positioning too; do it before a fight, position everyone how you want so they’re not grouped, have the big damage martial classes on the front line closer to the enemy etc. instead of your party being clustered together at the start of every fight which makes you more susceptible to AoE effects/attacks

@ProxyGateTactician 9 месяцев назад

Yeah I use it all the time! I had it in there, but I didn’t highlight it in the hotkey section and my accent made it sound like another word haha a lot of people commented about that

@Timodifiying 9 месяцев назад

I think dip is very useful and is underused. Also, placing a candle or torch on the ground by your party prior to a fight and then using that to dip weapons into is a good tactic.
