Spoiler Warning: this video contains spoilers for Act I of Baldur's Gate 3.
Most BG3 Content that I see covers build guides, or even solo runs. This video is for the person just looking to get their golden dice using a regular party without minmaxxing or exploiting while also being entertained.
This video should give you an idea of how to route Act I of Baldur's Gate 3's Honour Mode and how to approach each of the encounters with a regular party.
I am using the (relatively) new Giant Barbarian Subclass that was added in Patch 8 of BG3. I am mostly following Morgana Evelyn's frost giant build but dropping the chest for unarmored defense. Here is a link to Morgana Evelyn's original build guide video: BG3: Frost Giant STOMPS Honour Mode
As for the rest of the party, they are all mono-classed using the new Patch 8 subclasses (except Karlach who is a Wildheart Barbarian).
I am not the best player, and I probably don't use the most optimal possible gear. If you are interested in the most powerful/reliable builds, I would again recommend referring to Morgana Evelyn's build guides, linked here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iqPT...
If you are confused about the Boooal segment or Zath'isk segments:
Boooal: I was trying to get Boooal's blessing which gives you advantage against bleeding targets since I am building Karlach to bleed with Tiger's bloodlust.
Zath'isk: I was stacking saving throws using the resistance cantrip, staff of arcane blessing, phalur aluve sing, ring of protection and safeguard shield.
Typically, if you land your saving throws you get a buff called awakened which allows you to use your Illithid powers as a bonus action which is extremely powerful particularly when paired with black hole in Act 3.

Also I have to say I was impressed how easily you did the Inquisitor- that fight almost ended my run :')
