If you enjoyed this make sure to check out my latest Challenge Run, Where I attempted to Beat Baldur's Gate 3 As the Unluckiest Man In the World:

“Most companions seem pretty murdery, so I didn’t recruit them”
*recruits Minthara*

[noecarrier]

Absolutely fascinating that the Steel Watchers actually have dialogue and functions for a PC that never killed anyone or anything, something pretty much nobody would do.

[pipwolverine]

I am beyond impressed. Especially by the Steel Watcher at the drawbridge recognising you haven't killed anyone. Absolutely mad.

[Csoery]

Blows my mind that they actually included a "your record is clean' line for the Steel Watchers. They've been waiting for you!!! :) Very cool challenge :)))

[tobak]

most players: "you can only get Minthara on an evil genocidal run" Proxy: *gets Minthara by litterally not hurting a fly*

[ashsuna]

The irony of leaving Orin alive in this run when her entire thing is killing people at the altar of Bhaal. I'm pretty sure that alone would make her more angry than actually killing her.

[somebodyrandom]

I love how each of the Chosen wind up being fed a heaping helping of karmic irony.

Ketheric is killed by the former source of his invulnerability.

Orin has her shapeshifting used against her and is knocked out rather than killed, which must be a real kick in the Bhaals for both her and her dear old dad.

Gortash gets blasted by his own turrets, then gets finished off by his own invention. Which is especially poetic when you realise that the Steel Watchers self-destruct function was probably implemented to hide the truth about them.

I was so ready to see you just cheese most fights with non-lethal damage, but was pleasantly surprised it was used only once.

[degamer]

this run is the entire reasoning behind not pulling the lever on the trolley problem

[GlaurungTheGreat]

4:19 "Look, I know she's a brutal and empathiless killer, but I can fix her!"
Truly the mantra of Baldur's Gate 3.

[sunstryder]

This was an insane challenge run. Props to you, and props to Larian for making the game so perfectly balanced that this is possible :D

[JeffReams]

The freedom of choice in this game is unreal. I can’t believe you pulled this off. Well done!

[MaddyRose]

The steel watch letting you into Baldur’s Gate is crazy. I can’t believe this challenge was possible, awesome video!

[oleksandrmartynenko]

FYI you can talk the spider guy to give you a lantern and to go into the shadows. You can find them later possessed by the shadow curse, but you technically didn't kill them

[zendoclone]

As a fun little trick I learned form my (failed) full pacifist run, you actually don't need any umbral gems at all (I used one for the elevator, but that is besides the point). You can actually open the door at the bottom using knock as well.

[nenybuns]

I must have sat the whole video watching with my jaw open, absolutely fascinating and such commitment to go through with this insane plan! WOuld have never thought it possible! Incredible job!!!!

[monozuki]

"We struck an alliance with this handsome young man" - this will never not be funny haha. Young Gortash and his easy smile winning hearts left and right!

A hella impressive playthrough, thank you for putting it all together, was throughly entertained! <3

[roxannebednar]

"A final fantasy character"
"A handsome young man"
Love the way you rag in gorty lol

[Darth]

The mentality of every BG3 player. “I can fix them”
