@nickrubin7312

Very small tip (the smallest lol): you can put items on custom panel, wherever they are in the inventory, and switch between them just by clicking on them on the panel, without opening inventory. Even more beneficial, because this way, some items that have spells/unique abilities on them, like Feather Fall or Speak with would be basically used just like that, as unique spell/abilities. 14:49 There are weapons with "Thrown" property (you may check out in weapon's description box), and weapons without it. Won't essay on the difference, but will say that throwing a "weapon", with specific damage range, and throwing an object, including a weapon without "thrown" property, are calculated a bit different (although, object still does bludgeoning damage based on weight) 23:19 Agree. Even more so, I kind of wish reading the journal wouldn't give you the quest or wording of the quest would be different. It would probably be too obscure and a bit too much going without holding a hand (not that the game does it a lot anyway), but still, in this particular case it would've been cool. Also, I understand that they like to tie all activity under 1 quest (for many reasons, order of puzzling info around the quest and doing the player-decided order of doing the said quest included), so it is called "Help the Spirit", because it is overall quest, and re-naming the quest would be confusing af, but would be nice if at least there were 2 quests even if they went through with triggering a quest in first place. 50:40 Well, Grymforge is not really a temple, but yeah....also, these type of items are gifts, the wording of the quest is weird, there is a dialogue option to give a gift 1:01:29 That would be too limiting, just in my opinion. Personally, I truly hate in every other (c)RPG that I can't break the door if I'm strong or lockpick it if I'm skillful enough, because what is the point otherwise, especially if there is wooden door and I can't somehow break it with maul by being buff Barbarian, gotta run around the whole place look for a key? But also there are some specific doors you can't lockpick, but they are very specific ;) 1:33:15 You can trade any time by clicking trade button in bottom left, some traders are optional/hidden and don't really have an option in dialogue that goes into trading. For all NPCs that have dialogue, and not just flavor-lines, in 99% of situations you'll have buttons to trade or attack (at any point you can just go to attack) 1:39:00 That's another smokepowder reserve, there are 2 caches on this map (one you found and it was weird marker stuff, one remained marked), that's why the 2 is questionable and might not work (you need either 1 vial or 3-4 smokepowder from stashes). It is certainly not a soft-lock with reload or one option solution with smokepowder bombs. Although, stacking 2 in the same place did seem like it was lacking the presumed damage. 2:16:22 Yeah, but you are actually kind of breezing through the fight regardless, even if you RP saving some duergar with Death Ward while using potion of speed, it doesn't affect the outcome of the fight. It is mostly picking tools to kill in maximum style.

After all the time spent in this game I still don't really understand the difference between trading and bartering. If you're buying/selling does't it work out to be the same either way? I just never use barter because it feels like too many extra steps. There's a few characters I wish you could recruit in a more "evil" playthrough, Nere being one of them, but I understand that would be a whole lot of extra work to implement.

@@Mapocolops I have watched all of your BG3 vids and read all the comments, and frankly, the actual "backseating" comments are very rare for a game like this. Most of the advice you get from here are what I also have written: Tips about the UI, game mechanics or D&D rules, because as you have said it yourself, there's a lot to learn when you're controlling a whole party. It's very easy to miss something mechanics-wise in a game as huge as this. There's only so many keys and buttons if you want to keep the UI lean, and so many functionalities to cover. That's a whole lot diffrerent than "you should've done this first" or "your build is bad, man, do this instead". "Wear this, not that". *That* would be backseat gaming, and now that I count them, there's only a few of that sort of comments on this video again -- out of the 70ish at this moment. To me it looks like you don't really appreciate any other kind of interaction than people being cheerleaders, and make a mountain out of the few backseating molehills. Seems like even some commenters don't know the difference. That said, I'll alter my interaction accordingly.
