Baldur's Gate 3: Christmas Gift - An Animated Short 

Also shadowheart and astarion clinging to her to keep warm lol

@@xenonsan3110 I could totally see that happening lol

And her jet ski

@@prylosecorsomething3194 That she is struggling to even start LOL

She runs around naked and doesn't get cold. ^^ Yeah that looks about right.

The amount of pettiness in his voice kills me every time lol

Had to replay it like ten times haha. It is perfection.

I felt that in my soul. Makes me think of being at work and people being needy. 😂

I get this from him a lot. He hates me ha.

So is “My gods, I’m beautiful” 😂

And right before that, everyone is walking on top of the snow and Karlach just wading through it waist deep with no effort. That was great.

It's my favourite part of the short

Seeing someone with the same PFP gave me a stroke.

@@knightclub9668 Fellow Ferry enjoyer

Lae'zel seems to notice...and thats all she did

The idea of him having a hots for her feels a bit weird to me given their actual canon dynamic, but eeh, it is funny

@@jondoe7036 Apparently there's a way to romance her while playing as Wyll. Which seems extremely out of character.

I mean Wyll's original story had him and Mizora being lovers. She saved him after goblins decimated a village he was protecting. That version of Wyll was a lot more cutthroat admittedly, and I imagine they wanted at least on moral person in the group 😅

@@Resi1ience Eh. If you've already sold your soul to the devil, you may as well get as much as you can out of it..

@@jeffodraws3395 Would have been nice to see the sharper edge of the Blade of the Frontiers, though. Wish they kept more of that bite. Honorable, good, and a pinch of ruthlessness. Would have been really neat! Shows you how far he would go to do good in this violent world

STOP LICKING THE DAMM THING

She's licking it BECAUSE he told her not to She can't let Gale tell her what to do

I think gale wanted to lick it himself 😂😂

STOP LICKING THE DAMN THING

STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING

ikr and that "don't even *think* about licking it" xD

Gale eats clothes, and that's just facts.

What are the origins of this meme? Is it because of the need to consume mágical items?

​@@bernardoheusi6146Yup

@@bernardoheusi6146 yeah

i was just about to comment this lol

Astarion and Lae'zel being like "I smell bullshit"

@@aria5614 The only ones that passed the passive Insight Check.

Also chilly boi asterion warming up on Karlach in the next scene. Priceless.

Making this my new ringtone

6: Wyll magically getting a foot stool to put his foot up when he opened the tavern door in classic hero pose 7: Astarion getting a 20 on iniative, posing in the mirror with the coat he looted, and then watching as the coat's reflection floated in the mirror 😂 8: Laezel making adorable eyes as she asked Geoff how he knew what to get her 9: Karlach's sharp teef right before she bit into the xbox's power chord 10: Shadowheart healing Karlach after she bit through the cord and Wyll checking up on her. Gale and Laezel hugging each other in fear of the mysterious box while Astarion didn't give a damn 🤣

11. Santa looking nervous when Gale says "all alone". (1:06)

12. Astarion drinks Swen Vincke's blood

Yes yes we know karlach (wrongfully) is the best girl NO NEED FOR HALF YOUR LIST TO BE ABOUT HER -Shadowheart stan

13. Wyll doing the soyjack pointing meme

Omg I just got that thanks to you

Oh wow, that's pretty sly.

What got me was the "Come to DADDY!"

Bruh, no way I got this only now 😭

​@@joswald9160this woman makes me question if I want her to be my daddy or mommy... Honestly? I am down for both

Sole food

@@thunderspear2251 does make you wonder if he prefers his stake overdone to the point it's rubber

Is this a reference to the cast playing DND and that gag about Gale's stylish shoes Astarion couldn't stop looking at? Or is this a joke about him eating random magical shit

​@@thedoomslayer5863 Well, probably both.

@@thedoomslayer5863 him eating enchanted items. Officially he's supposed to absorb the weave in them making them useless but pretty much everyone I talked to about this game says that Gale eats their shoes, gloves, armor etc. So this take being on the official channel makes it extra precious

The "*chomp*" sound effect was just so good xD I wasn't watching in that instant the first time, but I still knew she had bit something untoward

you mean the, dark urge?

Those damned intrusive illithid thoughts

I'd say it was more just Barbarian thoughts. They're not known for their high int scores

Every character in Baldur's Gate has a suppressed habit to just put things in their mouths.

“This shit is stinky and sus”

OMG I missed that the first time! Good eye!

Its a good coat...

And later he says, 'gods i'am Beautiful' He cant even see himself. and that fits so perfectly.

@@OonalovesAstarionssimpleplan "I don't need a reflection to know this looks fabulous". Yes , I'm pretty sure Astarion loves looking into mirrors even if he doesn't have a reflection.

There’s a mod on Nexus where you can do that

@@auzcakez7860 sweet, thanks :)

​@@auzcakez7860yeah but it wildly unbalances the gameplay lol. You just roll through everything because you have everyone along

@@thedoomslayer5863 difficulty mods can allieviate it a bit. maybe lower the amount of xp recieved could help. bg1 and 2 devided the xp evenly between the characters which helped balance the difficulty curve depending if you played tall or wide, at least in bg1

​@@thedoomslayer5863there are mods to increase difficulty. I personally hate difficulty increases by +AC/Save/Attack/HP method, and i haven't played in a while. I hope there's a "more monsters or replace monsters with stronger ones" mod (replacing a few goblins with bugbears for example)

FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONING IT😂😂😂

Followed by immediate offscreen licking sounds

@@jondoe7036 You can hear Gale continuing: "stop that." *lick*

"STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING"

True

I love it 😂❤

3:14

While Shadowheart is cuddling her and basically having a good Time doing so.. Now if we could have a skit where Karlach picks her up and throws her over her shoulder , that'd be great.

The fucking face he make❤❤❤

@@kc5997I ship shadowheart and karlach sooooooo bad 😭

"And here you can see Astarian, Vampire Spawn, channeling the arrogant house cat to perfection. 'I don't love you, I'm just sitting here because it's WARM, thank you very much!'"

@@UMCorian and while he didn’t knock the glass off a shelf, he did still smash it just because he could 😂

Because she looks like a kitty!

At that moment we were all Geff

I thought it was the Githyanki equivalent of getting a toy you used to have as a child, considering how every Gith is sent out as a child and can only return with a Mind Flayer's head

I know right it also so odd hearing that voice and seeing it come from someone who is happy.

Geoff's a real one

They knew what they were doing here too 1:41

Too bad the game only had gay and bear sex.

@@Ultrakrillon0 ofc Wyll will take that photo. who wouldn't

They're just telling us what they knew we already know lol

and she's definitely still licking it from the sounds lmao

That spider corpse was a nice bit of humor in a pretty serious dungeon.

STOP LICKING IT

stop that stop it

"STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING!

I would watch a netflix series of this on repeat until the universe died out.

100%, like it could be short ones like this without any larger storyline and I would still watch them. They are so much fun!

Hey, Netflix, you wanna have a contest with Critical Role? Go for it. The trick is doing a big ass poll/contest to see what Tav is made for the show.

I agree that it would be cool but let's cool our jets on dissing the live action. I think there is plenty of opportunities to be had Karlachinlaezelsunderwear between the characters Laezelsteppingonsomeonewithcamerapov and all the cool stuff Astarionmockingpeople like meeting the actors and stuff...LIVEACTIONMINTHARASIGNINGTHEBOOTSSHEBEATSMEWITH. Lots of opportunities.

I think I’d prefer a more realistic art style (in terms of proportions-think Avatar or the Vox Machina show) but I definitely think BG3 would be better suited to animation

Well yeah, they've been with the characters for 4 plus years. Neil even got Astarions high pitched laugh, it's pretty funny.😂

Her melting through the snowbank was my favourite part of that clip.

I'd certainly do the same lol

i certainly feel jealous of shadowheart

what confuses me is he's dead, he's a vampire. Shouldn't he be the most resistant to it of any of them? He himself would be deathly cold to the touch!

@@sasuke8667 I suppose it's the opposite- he's always cold *because* he's dead

Karlach is just that hot

It made me laugh. The gags only last for like 2 seconds.

The cold never bothered her anyway

Meanwhile poor Astarion is so cold already it doesn't help his constitution at all so you have Karlach heating him up because she runs hot enough for herself, him and Shadowheart. XD

Also ultimate snowstorm snuggle buddy :3

we all know, we were all the source

If you pause it at the right time, she smiles right before it cuts to Astarion. Seeing La’Zel happy is so heartwarming.

it actually happens multiple times in the game if you choose to do romance with her

He is the Blade of Frontiers! Of course he's the hero!

Every party needs at least 1 good moral compass, or nothing would get done…and this party is running on the bare minimum.

​@crowsenpai5625 Exactly, we're the glue that seems the party on track and out of jail.

Well his desire tells me he lusts for Mizora.

​@@02091992able I mean, can you blame him?

You guys never cease to amaze me

Please never stop doing these 💜

Thank you so much for making it. This is amazing.

Legit amazing, great work as usual

Seriously yall have been killing it

I second that. ❤

They will be forever on the list, do not worry.

Seriously, would love to watch a show like that between seasons of Critical Role's animated stuff.

Please let this be the Netflix show….

Was going to comment the same thing. A Larian-backed BG3 animated show with the original cast would be the only thing that could get me to give Netflix money again. (and that's saying something because I've somehow managed to fight off the urge despite the YYH live-action looking pretty solid)

STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING

@@legoolass3 Exactly! xD

"Stop" "Don't--" "Stop that!"

Get the spray bottle, bad Lae'zel bad.

Karlack biting the power cable is pretty great to.

Amen to that!!

Dude, legit. I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

Definitely check out Legend of Vox Machina if you haven't already.

​@@nomercyriding new season is taking too damn long

@@thedoomslayer5863 It's understandable we didn't get any promos or trailers back in Oct/Nov because of the strikes, but I'm shocked we haven't heard anything in the past two months. Maybe the strikes delayed a lot more than we thought? Or maybe Amazon is making them wait an extra month to give Hazbin Hotel some breathing room?

I'd like to see it as an office comedy.

This would actually be amazing. But ONLY if Larian does it and has the actual voice actors. I mean... looking at how successful Helluva Boss is I'm pretty sure that it would be successful too if they ever did such a thing lol

If only a certain Brazilian rain forest company that was already involved with funding D&D shows was around

It's carbot, and it's every sunday.... 🤔

He really is a cat lmao 😂

Shadowheart clinging to karlach too is cute

​@Somerandompokemon I ship Shadowheart and Karlach cuz of stuff like this lol

​@@eviltoad746Yeah they're kinda like a happier Gideon and Harrow from The Locked Tomb series of novels imo

Absolutely adorable Astarion enjoying relaxing, then getting pissed off, then trying to get warm on Karlach's lap, is so perfectly Starry. 🎄🏰🏰🎄❤️‍🩹🗡️🗡️ But can he be out in the sun?¿ (I question this decision, but so be it.) Astarion disapproves ✨🏔️🌬️❄️❄️🧝🏻‍♀️FOr F*** sake's F***n Chilly❄️ out here!! Warm me damn you! To the Hell'z again!! I mean jingle bellz, Merry XBoX, whatever the F*** that is?¿ ✨🎄🎄✨🎄✨ ☺️🐶LOL, FALAHH,OH FU** ✨🏹✨🎄❤️‍🩹🗡️🗡️❄️☃️❄️

"Don't even think about licking it" is a nice touch too.

​@@melissaamato1139he can be outside in sun cuz tadpole and cuz its snowing.

@@Kris-wo4pj Wait, no, might be spoilering, did you play the game, yet¿? And notice Larain left out a snow scene If you have played the game.?🤦🏻‍♀️oops, sorry, if you haven't. 🙃Awe, well their goes, Fae runn.

If they do, it would be the "you can have both in your party at the same time" update. But considering they patched out some exploits to do so, it probably won't happen.

Yes, WE DEMAND IT !!

Why stop at animated shorts when it can be a show?? Vox Machina style maybe?? The Narrator can even come back to voice some of the NPC's 😁

@@IneffableChild I will NEVER say no to more Amelia Tyler.

I mean it’s their job so…

@@eduj Yes, but you can tell they are having fun with it as well.

​@@urazz7739its cslled coice acting. They have to sound this way.

@@edujNo it’s not, they were free lancers.

​@@edujThey don't HAVE to lend their voices to some random cartoon thing. They did their jobs with the actual game already. This is how you can tell they liked being their characters

Geoff is the best gift giver.

It especially pairs well with her grumpy voice and line delivery XD

Geoff, how did you know!?

Can you blame her?

she literally wants Karlach to pick her up within seconds of meeting her, Shadowheart down bad for Karlach, like everyone lol

​@@tommyllama4558 shadowheart is down bad for Karlach I can't blame her lmao

Reminds me of a fanfic I read...

@@Ushionai good taste

They seem to do them every time there is a new console version, so here's hoping for Switch! 😁

​@@tylerboyce4081I don't think that's technically possible.

@@zachplummer625 yeah the game is way too big to work on a switch I think

I love you guys so much 💕

@@tylerboyce4081BG3 on the switch would make the console actually melt

Wait a minute... Swen Vincke was born in 1972. Doesn't that mean?

​@nalrashido you'd be amazed what you could get away with in hospitals before the 80s. Honestly, bribing the doctor to drain some blood from a baby for a couple gold pieces is on the tame end.

@@nalrashido look man.... the 70's.... it was a time of much awesomeness..... and when morals and the red tape known as "health and safety" were just loose enough to count as mild suggestions at most....

@@DLuniz Thank the Gods I was born in 1990. I'd rather my kidney's not be taken thank you.

I cracked up at Wyll acting like he didn't want the picture of Mizora and then keeping it anyway.

It's not his fault they all share one brain cell and go along with it

@@peters8512 Tbf, she is fine as HELL

If we the player weren't there that's probably how it'd go. He's the son of an Archduke that's likely been around leadership all his life.

dang the animation looks like pureTRASHbro ..

His "oOoooOOoooohhh...." at getting Mizora's portrait is hysterical!

@@SessVlogs Confusion boner for sure haha

Wyll is down bad for Mizora, and I can't blame him...

oh fer FUX sakes 😭

Bit like my disappointment this ended up an Xbox reveal

The only thing missing was and "But enough talk, have at you!"

​@@chriswalker3257you still got an awesome animation out of it. What more do you want?

Upset Astarion is best Astarion lol

Yes please!

I’d watch the fuck out of that 😂

*having an arcane flashback* YES PLEASE

Hell yeah, agreed

Dont forget Astarion siting haha

@@PaladinodoCerradooficial Even Karlach not enough to warm Asta🤣

Afterwards you can immediately hear her licking it and him telling her to stop it xD

PLEASE

It warms my heart any time I see a Geoff Peterson reference.

No no, not before Bing Bong

Ah, the BG3 player base. Even if it DOESN'T have a pulse, we'll demand it be a companion.

What? ya never played as a necramanca befa?

Aside from that, it's a very common trope for RPG characters to hang out in taverns anyway.

The earlier shorts kind of imply that Gale is the player character in this particular party.

tav owns the tavern obviously

@@GaldirEonai Well, Durge (who is likely the canonical Tav) did show up in another one of these, but Gale does seem to be the de facto leader, yeah.

As long as they keep an ear out and a spot open in their callendar for the next Larian project...though obviously after BG3, that will be high profile work too.

Yeah Goodluck to them with now everybody and their mom using AI voice acting instead

@@AlanXEverfrost ... it is after BG3, what do you mean?

Now I get it

This went over my head, I thought he was just being weird fjskfksdfj

Can someone explain it to me

​@@waltermcelvy3541Basically Gale's whole schtick is he has a curse that if he doesn't consume magic found in enchanted items he will explode. So the joke here is that he is literally consuming a magical boot.

Also kinda sad when you see his projection eating food

Yes, but we need a canon urge to join them

@@AristasTheMonsterHunter Who do you think the Elf was?

@@JonathanLundkvist I think he refers to the Dragonborn Durge.

Only, if it's the Original cast

Netflix would ruin it. Better these shorts.

And laezels is to lick it. I guess taste test is what it takes to be adventurous

​@@502jackalstoplickingthedamnthing!

​@@502jackallaezel doesn't know the thing in my pants, so....

The Goku method of solving problems.

​@@blackjacktrialShe really is a frog girl

Its so like him though.

"Ugh for fucks sake >:c"

And also some complaining from Gale while she's licking it. Love the little details.

He's the most level headed to be fair

​@@apache8795IDK, the barbarian makes some great arguments such as [ROAR!]

@@jackhazardous4008 Also [Eat Cable]. If Gale can eat shoes why can't she chew on it

Tara would make a PERFECT Chrismas dinner!

Well, according to Larian stats, he is the most popular origin character to play as, so it makes sense

Why not go even beyond? Do something like Critical Role did. A TV show in this style, like Vox Machina.

​@@ThePariahDarkI would love to see their backstories, each an episode long. That gives us a full season when you add up all ten companions!

I would even pay for it.

Not in this style, but yeah.

@@cameronmcewen7192 Yeh, I was thinking more serious for sure

Lol! I know right! Would love to see some thing akin to Legend of Vox Machina, but with Baldur’s Gate 3 characters.

I'd honestly watch an ongoing series if everyone was up for it.

That would be AWESOME xD

@@KopaXTani Well, I've met most of the main cast of that, so please, let's have some healthy competition!

@@KopaXTani Vox Machina is what I think of every time they release another short. Same vibes tbh.

Shadowheart hitting with Sacred Flame is a damn miracle.
