Matt Mercer Breaks Baldur's Gate 3  

And a lifelong DND nerd and a very very clever person. I bet he sees this game as a bunch of string knotted up and he’s already working out how to unravel it

He's literally a prominwnt guy in the game

Honestly....I FORGOT about that! 😂

​@@muslimmetalmanHe's who in the game?

​@@Red_Devil_2011i think minsc is his name. "go for the eyes boo " guy

You can literally see the light leave his eyes 😅

He was like "ah fok"

​@@deustauriestruly a DM moment

rofl😂

His smile was that "Damn, ok roll out the hot fix"

fine, i'll make another unique character.

What can level 20 do? Summon the barrel pantheon at will?

Does it stacks?

Barrel rider

@@nathanpfirman625 barrelshot the god

misty step being available so early on is great,

@@ISesseriII love that spell

Do not delete chest in Skyrim

you can fly in that game and you can fly there wich easyer and mystystap is also an easyer alternativ to the arrow.

I’m confused , are you not supposed to be able to get in that roof or something?

he thinks like a creative engineer but with Machiavellian level execution it's always the rule makers who are the best rule breakers

but for real though he was a game tester (read:breaker) before getting into VO work.

I'd love to see what the castle guards are doing.

Commencing siege equipment - stronghold crusader engineer

Guys, this is "horse stacking" 101.

all the times thinking "I would have done it a better way" only count up

Like his Chaotic Neutral (Chaotic Stupid) Darf character 🤣

DMs are traumatized by the bullshit their players put them through, i think this is like therapy for him 😂

Hahahahaha

Also he was literally a video game tester

sven before arrow: 😀 sven after arrow: 😦

Who cares?

​@@Loquacious_Jacksonwhat if I say I do

@@Loquacious_JacksonI do

@@Loquacious_Jackson At least 653 people.

@@RandomMustardPacket I'd kiss you.

Thats what i was thinking!

Na it was missing 3 horse stacks

​@@TcrumpenThere was the successful stacking of Torrents in the Elden Ring One Shot and the brainstorming of how to get the goats on the raft in campaign 3 by stacking them.

​@@ReaverKainRIP Jerry the goat. You died for no reason whatsoever.

@@roryschussler Look, Jerry died to keep the rest of the goats calm and fed... even though they were left at the edge of the Saveleer(?) Woods. They'll be fine 😇

It was pretty amazing to watch

​@@TheCharacterSheetwhere'd you watch this?

As a forever DM myself I love running BS builds that don't look like they would work at first glance but do so well in practice.

All the experience from deal with the ideas the players come up with 😂

​@@TheCharacterSheettell us where you dick

Imagine being a shop keeper, watching this happen. Just watching this absolute creature of a person pull a box out of their pocket. Then another, and another, and holy shit how many boxes do they have? Okay, they had a lot of boxes, now their neatly stacked, that’s fine. Wait, what are they… oh my god they jumped on the box stack, that’s not safe! THEY HAVE MORE BOXES?!?! And they’re making another stack…. And watching this for probably an in world hour or so, you see them jump up one last time, pull out a bow, and teleport. How the hell do you explain that when the guards come asking questions? “Yeah, I saw the dude who broke in to the castle. He used that stack of boxes over there and teleported in. No, I have not been drinking, I’m being serious!”

It appeared in my mind the moment I've read your comment and it was a funny and cool picture

🤣

@@AceWolf456 🤣

When the phrase: *"You can certainly try!"* is pretty much an intended game mechanic! XD

This is how your supposed to play it🗿

It *is* an immersive sim! That's what Larian makes!

@@supekele are you sure it's not an rpg?

@@kevinwillems8720 are the two 100% mutually exclusive?

@@AirclawOG good point

It’s called cheese-ing. Remember? Ur not really supposed to do this. If he’s the very first to do it, he broke the game. Like warlocks on Crota runs in og destiny

If you like broken games, you'll love Bethesda.

@@dracos24 exactly what I was thinking lol made my retarded fallout new Vegas character a one shot kill. On everything. Completely intended by the developers.

​@@ShadowJack4488It's almost as though you've never played a game while trying to enjoy exploits before.

​@@ShadowJack4488From what i heard the main developer himself said he loves people figuring out how to break the game by using its mechanics.

This actually made me chuckle, GG.

"Told you we shoulda stopped him." "Shut it, you."

@@skudmulldreams8970 literally the next scene. Great addition

@@GrayxFox. can I get a web based series of this now?!? Call it Guards of Baulder’s Gate. Similar structure as Cops but where it’s just dnd stupidity. I’ll happily voice act for it and/or write.

Not really.

@@probablywrong3816 he's not rly wrong though, everyone did that in divinity, its a pretty common strat

@raxfax96 God everyone is just a kill joy now.

Thank you for letting me know I can now do this with enlarge.

I don't follow him normally but now I have to know what you are talking about.

@@Zarkyunit’s from when he ran an elden ring one shot. It’s on RU-vid

@@Zarkyun what you never heard of a Horse Stack before? that's why horse shaped like that they fit like lawnchair

@@the8ofspades888 if we come up short, i can stack three wolves

​@@tinytimcanpy4103how do I place it? Just elden ring one shot?

You can super jump, fly, teleport, etc up just fine too.

I mean, I'm currently installing the game (my internet sucks so it will take a few days, not even kidding! :p ), but can't you just, I don't know, climb the wall with an Athletics check? Or, if required, buy a rope and a grappling hook, throw it up there, then climb?

​​@@ChevaliersEmeraudefrom what I've played you can't really climb surfaces like that. There's climable stuff but only certain things. I suppose in DnD you would be able to try scaling a sheer castle wall. But what we see Matt do is how larian recreated the freedom of choice that real dnd has.

Spider climb if in the game would allow climbing/walking straight up a wall without issue.

Something to keep in mind about Larian is that in Divinity Original Sin 2, the game that BG3 takes a lot of its dna from, teleportation to sequence break was a legitimate strategy that the game *taught* you to do via a quest in act 1. Larian knows what players wanna do in their games

You can also just break a good number of the doors!

@HolyApplebutter is that a reference to HBomberguy's Deus Ex video? XD I remember him saying the true test of an immersive sim is being able to bypass problems in a game by stacking up boxes and going over it, but wasn't sure if that itself is a reference to an earlier description.

@@TheDelinear The main place I remember hearing it was from a Charlatan Wonder video, but I'm pretty sure it's been a joke for a while.

​@@dumb445Don't be mean

I hoped someone would reference the tower of horses

A fellow horse ladder enthusiasts i see

The art of horse stacking is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

"That's why horses are shaped that way."

​@@AlasdairGRIs it possible to learn this power?

I like that I know this

Great reference!

Hahaha! Too true!

"back where im from we stack horses regularly"

Omg I love that guy! I would not be surprised if he DOESN'T make a video and instead finds an exploit that makes him mad rich like RuneScape

Thats for sure

He says ladies and gentlemen too much tho lol or ide watch his Content more

@@Jay-Pulls what bugs you more... People that developed too much of a"phrase" like ladies and gentlemen... Or when people say um um um a lot?

@@shyguywearingtie5491 oh ok thank you - yeah I didn't know that. Its multiplayer but no tradable items or currency?

His whole attitude changed 😂

Bro I'm crying 😂

that man is CEO of Larian

my character has costless flight

Nah dog gloves of teleportation in divinity were crazier

I mean they put a teleporting gauntlet into act 1 of divinity 2 that let you cheese through everything. It's pretty onpar 😂

​@@caydenshivergut1509and the fact that you can get them so early I'm the game

@@caydenshivergut1509and you get those at fort joy too right off the bat lmao

Hes trying to break the game engine

Even more amazing, he's exploiting real-life physics in a video game.

Druid Plant Growth and then cast Fabricate spell to produce 111 boxes per casting

Lol

.... take a walk around Balduria... Collect every crate on the planet and send it to your travellers chest... (Ive been doing this already with fire/water/smoke barrels... whenever i have to prepare for a fight i can just toss out the barrels and one shot shit)

@@jaybee8862 EPIC, I do that with pouches filled with heavy items and throw them at goblins, pays to have the ring that adds to throw dmg too...

@@kavic86 lol I just gave that ring to Karlach

It wasn't just smart. It was honestly very very smart

Lol, i rewatch it and the slowly fading smile was gold!

If it was horses, it would have to be Brennan Lee Mulligan :D

@@TheCharacterSheet I think you mean Marisha

That Elden Ring oneshot was hilarious! 😂

You think it is impossible to survive without making horse stack? Can’t do it. Impossible.

Your comment is at 777 likes so i refuse to like it, but take this comment as a defacto like.

@@0saintclark0 it's too late

Is it worth it, is there anything there

nah flying is shit in this game

​@Aalnius it really is. It's basically a slightly better/longer jump. Wish they would make it possible for you to fly anywhere and to any tile

@@redragon_istaken you haven't used bird form at all, have you? As long as its in radius, you can go anywhere. Its even more stupid with bird form, since you can fit through small gaps (including grates and bars). Sure, you can't just click on the other side of the map to go instantly there, but you can go anywhere pretty easy by taking a smart path.

@metalhev3989 I have used a companion bird. It allowed me to go on platforms you could jump to but not in the air or unavailable zones. For example I could not fly above the waters on the side of the druid camp and as a result I could not fly to the shipwrecks in the distance since I could not make two flights in a row. I also could not fly up the mountain or above the illithid ship that crashed on the beach. Unless druid form works different yes it's pretty shity considering that if you're able to fly you should be able to go anywhere in open air

@@redragon_istaken you can't go to those places because they're not part of the explorable map. You can literally see that if you open the map screen.

@@NaNoRarh You got time to waste huh? How about getting a job?

​@@haurg7418lol you okay?

@@haurg7418 If you don't get the reference why are you commenting?

@@MegaCoolsite You got time to waste too?

@@litoslens I am, ty.

It is actually relevant in this case, since it's a DnD game

Critical Role is a company he is a founding member of. Does it diminish Steve Jobs to call him "Apple's Steve Jobs?"

Divinity: OS2, where you can stack a box inside of a box in a perpetual wich contain another box or chest, and keep going until the box weight 2T and have fun using telekenesis to kill with the box without being a crime

Read that in Laura and Matt's voices. Well done. XD

That sounds so dirty 😆

​@@Jacob-qr8plIt does sound like an innuendo 😂

He broke it because DnD in general allows for things to be broken, that's why you got DMs to stop things like this.

He stacked some blocks let's not get crazy now

The arrow was cool@@CrunchyTire

​@@CrunchyTireyou clearly have no idea what you're talking about 😂😂🤔

Funnily enough, he was a game tester as one of his first jobs before voice acting.

They let you mantle crates and made that arrow for getting places this was an intended use just not necessarily in this spot

We DMs are brutal creatures when we become players everything falls apart

Leiland and Marcus.

nobody knows what that is and we're all laughing behind your back

@@Cloudson97 cope

yeah this is just playing DOS2 normally

You're EXPECTED and WELCOME to misbehave. :)

i cant get it to run on my pc keep getting error messege with steam copy i bought years ago, keep forgetting to google solutions xd

Same, I absolutely loved being able to do a box playthrough where I just stacked weight in a no hp chest and damn near one shot everything.

Chest bombing is so fun in that game lol ​@@vizardshi1863

😂 Yorkshire tea?

​@@m.d.1836not just any Yorkshire Tea, it has to be Yorkshire Gold!!

Dungeon master? Direct message? We need to stop doing these shortcuts. Its probably dungeon master but omg it took me like 5 min to get that

​@@rickmortyson4861thats just because you're slow

I was looking for this comment. You can tell the moment when the face turned from playful curious to shocked knowing the outcome, with a shadow of hope that it will not work and finally acceptance. I love the game for exactly this. Finding your solution. if I see someone else make something, I have not even considered possible, it opens up so many things I want to try and see if it can work. Remember that games with bugged broken quests from some titles, that you tried to figure if you can work around it to finish it. Feels like that, to search for possible solutions.

@@rickmortyson4861 It can be tricky since DM is used for Direct Message these days, but if its in anything that has to do with Dungeons and Dragons, it is safe to assume Dungeon Master. Its what the entire community shorthand's it too.

Could just be an act. John Wayne Gacy was a pretty successful clown.

I hope they'll break this out on Critical Role and he'll have to roll with it some day

The CEO is watching this man cheese the game and is just like "very smart" 😂😂😂

He even said "congratulations now what" snidely right before he pulls put the arrow 😂

Larian studios is just great at making rpg. many of their games are like this

Did someone say Barrelmancer?

Well its the same game... so...

@@kevinmadcock8999 how so?

@@Luna-os4ep I mean it's the same engine and everything. Different story and environment, but it's literally the same engine as DOS2.

If hes pulling from his DM experience, this might be inspired by the horse ladders incident.
