Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for a little while now, and I - along with a lot of other people - have been enjoying it quite a lot. We’ve published a bunch of #BaldursGate3 tips and tricks videos, covering everything from combat and quests to multiclassing and making the most of your characters. But here’s the thing - Balder’s Gate 3 is SO faithful to the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset on which it’s based that if you’re coming into the series completely new, you may struggle, even with tips. Just like a while back when we published an Elden Ring for dummies series, now we're doing the same for Baldur’s Gate 3, explaining in the very simplest terms the most basic mechanics of the game for people who feel a little lost but still really want to give this incredible experience a fair shot. #eurogamer #dungeonsanddragons #dnd 00:00 - Intro 01:47 - How D&D 5e works 03:02 - Basic stats and how they work 04:16 - How Ability Checks work 05:20 - Pick specific characters for specific tasks 06:26 - What is Inspiration? 07:26 - Combat and how to approach it 08:33 - How combat works 11:26 - Actions and Bonus Actions 13:13 - Attacks of Opportunity 14:01 - Reactions and how they work 14:43 - How to use Spell Slots 15:52 - What is a cantrip? 16:19 - Movement and Jumping 17:00 - Long Rests vs Short Rests 18:41 - Death Saves and Healing 19:27 - Outro and Requests!
