Baldur's Gate 3 LORE you NEED to know!

In this video we'll be taking a quick look at some places, races and gods you may want to know before playing the game.
Playing through the early access of Baldur's Gate 3 opened up a lot of storylines already and some of these might be a bit weird or unfamiliar to you.
With this quick lore video you'll be mostly caught up with what's going on when you venture out into Baldur's Gate 3.

As always: hope you enjoy and happy adventuring my friends!

baldurs gate 3 was recommended to me by a friend. and i think i'm gonna greatly appreciate this video. haven't done a minute of dnd before.

It takes a lot of skill to distill the endless sea of lore into what matters most for BG3. Thank you!

as a DM who has spent the last 20+ years with their time steeped in this lore. This was a very good summary of what people might have questions about when jumping into this game. Awesome job! People will also have questions about Deep Gnomes.

This was super helpful. Picked up BG3 on release day and felt like I was simultaneously drowning and feeling my way through the dark and just could not orient myself well. This definitely helped fix that.

i didn't know that Baldur's Gate was SO complex. Space, multiverse, never heard of these before.

Nice summary, I'm relieved that in 110h I've spent so far in act 1, through all dialogues and documents, I was pretty much on point with these things, despite no experience with DnD. I understand how other people would easily feel overwhelmed, but for me I'm basking in joy with all there is to learn !

Thank you so much for the video. I just started playing Baldur's Gate 3 with no prior knowledge and I was overwhelmed and confused about everything. This is just what I needed to understand what is going on in this universe

[speedyazi]

Thanks for this video. I saw the overwhelming response to Baldur’s Gate and gave it a shot. I’m enjoying the combat, world and characters but the overall lore was a complete mystery to me so this video was super helpful.

Thank you! This definitely explained a lot of confusion i was having on the story after playing for 10 hours. Like the demons devils tieflings karlach thing

[Jungleman]

Love the video! Honestly more impressed with how BG3’s lore is actually super friendly to new players just jumping in the game… I’ve put 60 hours in as a new player (never touching dnd) and so far I think all of world building has filled in most of the gaps… this video filled them even more!

[Engelbertvan]

Having just completed Descent into Avernus, and played many years of DnD it’s great seeing it in game form but playing it I thought how overwhelming it must be for new players, great job!

[SaltySvendo]

Legit the most useful lore out of any video in the last little while…. And I’ve watched a lot of videos!

[michaelmuliadi]

BG3 is my first exposure to the lore. Thanks for the nice bits of info!

[feIixse]

I never post a comment on these type of videos but this guy deserves it. Great calm voice to listen to, amazing way of storytelling and giving the most important information. You have my like and sub sir.

[GeoffsCornerOffice]

This was a fantastic overview and intro to some of the most important background lore and info for the game - been playing since launch (beta actually) and while I knew all of this, it was a great watch for anyone. Brand new, or long time player alike

[ggEmolicious]

YAY, lore! I've slowly been feeling more and more 'out of the loop' as I progress, helping to spark my curiosity on the backstory/lore.

[uhhhidk]

Reaaally helpful for someone like me, gonna be my first time playing something D&D related!

[anonydunfgoog]

If you get fascinated by the world of Faerun and the Sword Coast there are plenty of novels set in that area not the least of which is the tale of Drizzt Do'Urden, a rebellious drow and the best swordfighter in the world. While Baldur's Gate as a city is merely mentioned in passing other locations such as the Underdark and Icewind Dale are described in detail. Most of the stories take place just north up the coast from BG, but generally the history is canon and the world is the same. Just look up "Drizzt" books...

[FloRoux]

The hype is real! Great work on your content Double, hope you'll enjoy the release :D
