Thanks so much for watching today my bros! I know about Karmic Dice being "Fixed" but they most certainly don't feel that way!

A good tip would be, pay attention to the environment while in combat. A lot of times Larian put things to interact that help out tremendously and a good old Push can make your life so much easier when the enemy is close to a ledge.

The most important tip, is salami does 1d4 damage and can be swung or thrown

Just a note, camp supplies can be useful in the open world... for example I found a situation with a particular enemy on chapter 1, where an npc was drunk and sleep, if the player makes any noise, they wake up and treat you, but if you have alcohol in your inventory, you can give it to them by dialog and they go right back to sleep... as a mean to avoid the fight. So for that, I keep a few selected supplies at hand that may be useful, just in case.

A tip with item management:  It's a good idea to pick up pouches and backpacks along the way; you'll have to manually pick them up using the context box option, but it's worth it. This will allow making specific item bags for party members: Arrow Bag, Grenade Bag, Scroll Bag, Potion Bag... Then, slot the bag on your action bar instead of specific items, to free up space, and all that's needed is to click on bag to see all like items that are available for use. There are also unique containers you can find throughout as well. Very early you can find the "Curious Book" container, which I use as a scroll case for Gale.

DONT LISTEN TO THIS MAN!, there is no way his dating life isn’t going great he seems so swaggy

Throwing a potion is a double-edged sword if you are at an elevation. I once threw a potion of healing at my 1hp character from high ground and killed it, because the throw did more damage than the healing potion healed

I just started playing about a week and a half ago and im having a blast, at work all day, counting down the hours until I can go home and log on again

having your tips detailed in your description so we can click around gets you a spot in heaven

I pre ordered BG3 to support Larian and the BG franchise finally being continued.
I am just now though starting to play BG3 and this game is so complex as to how I remember the earlier games to be I like it even though in some senses I struggle trying to keep everything straight and appreciate these types of videos that are not a walk through or totally spoilers as they help a lot in learning for newer players.

And as a retired senior it seems overwhelming sometimes but yet a great challenge at the same time.
Just seemed easier when I was a few decades younger to grasp and remember all the little tidbits that end up being fairly important to your in game results.

Huge one that I didn't pay attention to is if you do get the ogres to join forces with you and they give you the horn you have to use it in act one. You can't save it until act 3. Like you literally cannot use it once you leave act 1

You can ice blood puddles the same as water. This is useful when fighting big enemies that leave massive puddles. Also, don't forget to use "speak to dead" if you have it. You don't really use it in the story, so might as well use it, specially if you get an item that allows for a free use. Use it on area bosses or more important characters for more lore development and sometimes helps progressing quests and gives you more dialog options with other characters. You can also ask them about any hidden loot in the area they ruled. Also, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, keep a look out for permanent buffs. There are ways to be blessed or get buffs (like permanent invisibility detection or permanent temporary hit points when low) that last even through long rests. They are found in the weirdest of places, so explore as much as you can (like, a BDSM session with a fanatic in a cave).
Also, don't worry about backlogging interactions with your party members in the long rest camp. If you are worried that some romance interactions are missed because other story events take place, don't worry. The game remembers them and will put them out as soon as it can. Sometimes they are delayed because you need to be outside of dungeon or things like that, but they don't go away.
ALSO, remember you can put the

spoilers for the first 10h/15h of the game

brain worms in your party members too, if you succeed in convincing them. This gives them the powers too. But, if you have it, don't use charm person for advantage on this checks on your party members. After it wears off, they will dislike it. You can also check how much they approve if you in the character sheet of the party member. In the last tab of the character sheet, scroll down to see exactly how much they like or dislike you.

Ty for this great video. I didn't know anything about D&D rules and terms, but after watching a few guide videos like this one i learned a lot to get me started.
Here is my tip: I cannot overstate how powerful the DIP bonus action is in the early game. You can dip your melee or ranged weapon in any surface, but mostly you will find fire in the game world. With this knowledge i blazed through the fights in act 1 with 2-3 of my characters having fire damage on their weapons which is a 1-4 extra damage on top of your attack rolls. A way you can have a PORTABLE fire source with you at any time is to get a candle on every character that uses weapons (that dont have elemental damage already). You will find many candles in crypts and dungeons in Act 1 in boxes or you can pick them up from furniture. In combat, go in your inventory and drop the candle, then light it (these two actions dont cost any action points), then dip your weapon in it (bonus action) then you can also attack. All in a single turn. If you keep your party together all your characters can dip their weapons in a single candle. BOOM now you have fire damage on weapons. Candles are not consumed and dont run out as long as you remember to pick them up after combat ends (i forgot them a few times XD).

This will increase your damage in all fights in the early game and later on you can specialise your elemental damage depending on enemy resistances and weaknesses by carrying various potions which you can toss on the ground creating an elemental puddle that your party can dip their weapons in.
Also remember to INSPECT enemies (T button) when you encounter a new enemy type to see what resistances / weaknesses they have. You can also see their armor class and monster type as well as other stats. No point in wasting time dipping weapons in fire if the enemy is fire resistant.
Double DIP your way to victory and have fun!

I have 70+ hours into BG3 so far and I still learned a lot from this video. Thank you!

Nice, I too love it when my friends jump in when i romance.

This dude has ruined me for every other creator on YouTube. He is up front at the START of the video, and always has rock solid content. I fuckin love this guy

In your dual-wielding toggle section, one thing I've noticed most "do / don't do this to improve" videos I've watched don't cover is using bonus actions first to improve damage:  hunter's mark and reapply hex being the primary that come to mind.  If you use these bonus actions first the main action will benefit from the bonuses.

There's something I'd like to add... if you have disguise self or seeming on, some of the dialogue is messed up when another party member is supposed to chime in. As a specific example I was doing the end of shadowheart's specific quest with seeming on so she didn't look like herself, and for some reason that didn't seem to affect a non-party-character's dialogue who addresses shadowheart directly, the dialogue for shadow heart's response comes up, but there's no audio and the camera points to some empty space, like it would normally cut to a close up of shadowheart, but she's not there and the dialogue continues as if she replied... there's even a dialogue option to let her speak, everyone reacts as if she were speaking but she's not.
so for important scenes like that, maybe turn buffs that disguise you off.

I actually INCREASED the number of my saved saves.  Came in handy:  a quest for Druid Halsin was bugged....requiring me to go back FOUR GODDAMNED HOURS to get it done properly.

I just wanted to say i really apprechiate the transparency in the beginning. No clickbait, no stay till the end, just a genuine guy trying to help. I just stumbled across this vid and know most of the tipps already but im gonna watch all of it just for ur stats🙏thank you we need more of this on youtube❤
