Can I Beat BG3 With A GUN? - Baldur's Gate 3 Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits

Welcome to Baldurs Gate 3 where today I am going to be seeing if I can beat Baldur's Gate 3 with a gun and a copious amount of exploits and fun. Today The Spiffing Brit will be investigating if baldurs gate 3 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if the existence of infinite money exploits and speedrunning strategies might make it a bit easier to beat than previously expected. In todays video we will be showcasing some of my favourite Glitches, mods, exploits and bugs that allow you to bypass a huge section of the game.

What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced gameplay series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold and infinite money all in a fantastic montage. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

imagine creating a game so good that Spiff has to mod in stuff in order to exploit it. Todd Howard could learn something from this!!

[sonyscronies]

If you change your difficulty settings back and forth a few times it will fully heal your party, it will also heal your enemies if you do it in combat.

Even with a gun Shadowheart still can’t land a hit.

[Synthonym]

One of my favourite RPGs ever does this. Albion (1996) has you starting off on a spaceship before crashing on a planet of monsters and magic. You can get a pistol at the start of the game which is the best weapon in the entire game by a long margin. Only problem is bullets don't exist on Albion, so you only have the ammo you bring with you and no more (at least right until the very end of the game)

As a guy whose current DnD character is a goblin gunslinger, I approve of this character. Granted, Roland's guns of choice are dual pistols and a shotgun that flings him back 10ft when he fires, but it's the gobbo solidarity that counts.

[lax]

Shadowheart hates wolves due to her backstory so she has to make saving throws for fear against wolves any time she is near one for more than a few minutes. If she fails one she becomes frightened. That is why she was frightened when they attacked Kagha.

[benjin]

I saw the thumbnail and said out loud, 'who gave Shadowheart a gun?' Then i saw it was Spiff and it all made sense

[OdeonOnline]

I can't believe they managed to bring the speedrun to less than 4min using this exploit. This is incredible.

[luckluster]

FYI even without using mods, there are a couple of really funny exploits in the game, some got patched over time. For example, on release, you could recruit every single party member, even have both Minthara and Halsin in the game, however by doing so, Minthara is kind of broken and any time you make her go back to the camp and back to the team, you generate extra 4 Mindflayer Tadpoles or at least, however many Minthara had in her head. This allows you to have a party with all illithid powers right from the act 1.

But that's not all, some buffs that were meant to be only for the limited time, can be permanent. Idol of Sylvanus' buff can actually work for the entire game, you just need to remember to always send it to a camp before long rest, take long rest, take all from the camp box and leaving camp (selecting idol without TAKE ALL will make everyone hostile, it's a bug they still havent fixed). Lathander's Morninglight buff from finishing it's puzzle is amazing because as long as you give it to a party member, have them replaced in camp, you gain it permanently on every non MC companion, you just need to send them to camp, add them back and boom, they have +1 light damage, not much, but there are special items that work specifically if you deal at least 1 light damage, so it already allows the game to be broken.

Also the Essence of Mana was weirdly coded, if you keep turning it on and off and then taking the item that gives it to you, you gain infinite spell slots, this allowed my Bard to solo the game on tactician because it was just that broken.

Imagine how terrifying the player character would be if Spiff was the omnipresent voice in their head instead of the custom one you make at the start of the game.

The Gun is just what I call Karlach's gorgeous throwing arm.

[BillyMadisonrdGrade]

Shadowheart missing at point blank range with a shotgun is exactly how I expected that to go.

[OugiEin]

Fun Fact: If you fail the strength save for Gale, The game will prompt you for another one if you fail that one, you get a special cut scene involving you failing to pull Gale out of the portal

[Cibbip]

Massive missed opportunity not calling this Bauldur's Gat

[a.cameron]

Speedrunning with Gale is indeed an absolute blast.

[Maraflor]

Since the rapid fire "gun" is just a modified magic missile (still listed as a evocation spell in the tool tip) that means a level 10 evocation wizard should be able to add a flat +5 to each shot with 20 INT lol. Killed the second phase of Ketheric's fight in two turns just using lvl 5 magic missiles, the lightning charge staff, and haste and that was 8 shots per cast (using the amulet that gives you an extra missile per cast).

"Took me over 50 hours to complete the first time" Brit trying to say that he took long... DUDE that's basically a speedrun wtf. That's super fast xD
