after the heavy Balance episodes lately, i wanted to do something lighthearted. hope you enjoy me stumbling through picking the races and classes of the Redacted bois if they were playing Baldur's Gate 3 (or just DnD 5E in general, in a sense)

honeysghost

MY TWO HYPERFIXATIONS IN ONE OH MY FUCKING GOD I FEEL LIKE I’VE WON THE LOTTERY

CarrotSam

I don't know a single thing about BG3 or D&D 5E so this will be interesting to watch.

kaidyn

Aww yes!! I've been playing bg3 for the past two weeks now so I'm super excited about this!

kaidyn

If you guys play this game, what are yall? Im a half high-elf oathbreaker paladin! :)

Rae_Rae

Bonus questions: who would they romance? 🤔

I literally just started my playthrough. I was one of the people affected by the insane delays in getting a deluxe physical edition of BG3 (ordered in January, meant to get it in March, didn’t get it until August). I’ve never played DnD before, I have no idea what I’m doing, and I’m told my choice to be a draconic bloodline sorcerer is “bold” given I’m going in blind. The game just kinda assumes you know what you’re doing so this is gonna be interesting.

MoltenBird

Hypeeeee. Hyperfixasions mix!!

Sanjana

I think Erik knows when I’m slumped with school work and posts a reductive audio for me to study to

rachel ♡

also just heads up that the audio gets unsynced around 33:45. seems like it eventually evens out tho :)

♥︎☆°~Joonie~°☆♥︎

I haven't gotten a clue on how to play BG3 or anything in that concept but it's fun to watch and learn :)

Altoids!

i love that this is mixing my interests, and it's so cute to see people interested in their own. this is no exception!

Britt

I don’t understand dungeons and dragons or BG but I’m here for it lmaooo

Green Blue

Guy totally romances Astarion or Lae’zel. Change my mind.

Green Blue

ERIK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE- My ex almost boyfriend was called Vinny and now he and Vincent are forever linked in my brain this sucksssss😭😭😭

Rae_Rae

I fell in love with the monk, but my first ongoing playthrough is the human gloom stalker ranger!

ReplayCamera2 Chloe

“Nick wouldn’t play BG3 unless he could mod as a catboy.” So what I’m hearing is Nick plays Final Fantasy 14

Georgia Morgan

I can't believe that nick is on the list but not hush

Baz Writes

Omg a reductive audio ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! 🙏🙏💥🎉🎉🎉

rachel ♡

i always play as a gloomstalker ranger (usually human) and multiclass into rogue for the extra action :)

MikaPanda

So something fun about Paladins and Clerics they don't necessarily need to be holy. They could be more naughty/demonic depending on the god or goddess they serve. So a Gavin being a Cleric could work if he wanted to a naughty one XD

Ponyboy

Some questions: 1.) What headphones are you using??? They look so comfortable 2.) I'm very curious what Hush would pick 🤔

Glitter Goblin

starting about a half hour in the audio and the video get knocked out of sync 😥

(note, it gets fixed around 52:14)

I always play gith or drow gloomstalker assassin multi because it's so ridiculously overpowered oops-

ambrose ☆

which, in my two gameplays that i have of bg3, i played as a high elf rogue (i did beat the game with astarion in my party…i love me some rogues. i made astarion the assassin and myself the thief!) and a half-elf sorcerer with draconic bloodline that gives me elemental affinity at level six! i got to choose the dragon i wanted and also how the scales presented on my face…pretty cool!

woagh

Tief warlock/bard! 😁 double charisma baybeee. Oathbreakers are way cool, I'd love to play a nasty dark pally at some point

woagh

Reductive D&D talk? hewll yeah 🤓

Lilian 726

Coming back to my comment, as for normal dnd5e shenanigans theres 2 combo builds I tend to fall back on. Obviously there's lots of good options out there (disregarding the 2024 bullshite implementations, Divine Smite will NEVER be a spell in my eyes) but if I had to pick, Protector Aasimar Divine Soul sorcerer/ Hexblade Warlock and Dhampir Echoknight Fighter/Gloomstalker Ranger are both such good matchups they're hard to beat. (Shadar-Kai Path of the Beast Barbarian is also great though, as is the Asmodeus Tiefling Oath of Conquest Paladin)

AngelicMenace

still waiting for an episode like that with the listeners Erik😓✊/lh

Allegory of Wolves

Lol, I have no clue about Baldur's Gate, as I don't play video games. But ages ago I used to larp (either as an elf or a vampire) and I occasionally played D&D back then, too. This was fun to watch! 👍 Some of your choices for the characters were surprising (to me). Hehe, in my head-canon I picture Vincent looking as though he could have been cast as an elf in LotR, which is why my brain went straight to elf for him. I would never have imagined Dragonborn, but I like it!

zzziggy

congrats on finishing BG3!!! can't wait for the next vid where you talk about hit mmorpg final fantasy 14--

kaidyn

Its pretty fun! I genuinely love being an oathbreaker pal, would love to hear someone else experience with it

zzziggy

the joys of aurum vale and the whimsy of good king moogle mog 💪

Diana-Michelle Valverde

I miss Vincent!! When are you gonna post new Vincent videos?! I miss him dearly

theSpooder

As Rik is just mentioning people he might’ve missed, I see Nick and realized Hush had been forgotten, but in all fairness Hush probably wouldn’t play, so it works.

Lilian 726

For some reason He Who Was is the one character that, in my mind atleast, fits Hush. Mystery and all that

Anne Zhang

Erik how often do you update the list of Patron names that goes at the end of your videos? I’ve yet to see my name in one of those 😔

K B

Mine was added the next audio I think that he uploaded… maybe he’s been pre-occupied 🤷‍♀️
