I Made My Wife Play Baldur's Gate 3

I made my wife play Baldur's Gate 3. She didn’t have any of it spoiled for her before I sat her down, stuck a controller in her hands and asked her to give it a go. It went surprisingly.

To nobody’s surprise, Square Enix have copyright-struck this video so if the ads seem screwy I promise it’s not my fault

[VDAband]

With 2 kids and no baby sitters, my wife and i rarely get the opportunity to go out, so when Baldurs Gate 3 came out and we started playing it together we would refer to it as going on a Baldurs date.

[teachersama]

Man, I'm so glad to read/hear "my wife" <3 I remember when it was "my girlfriend" then "my fiance"... the series just got even better!

[kronksstronkstonks]

Using silence to assassinate someone without them calling for help was smart, ngl. I never thought that would work.

[petrusjnaude]

Monty: You don;t like Astarion?
Noobus: He's so up himself I can't even get a look.
I laughed so hard at this.

[emberblade]

A funny detail: If you create a web surface (if you're a spider or something) outside the grove during the first goblin fight, Zevlor literally jumps off the wall, uses the web to absorb the fall damage, and smites the crap out of your foes. And then Aradin berates him for being a coward, despite him putting Wyll's cutscene to shame.

[ayt]

"swapping gale for his own safety" the way i bursted laughing 😂 gale living up to every dnd wizard stereotype ever

[legitimatemedicine]

I've seen another video in the same style where a non-gamer is introduced to BG3, and the gulf in their attempt and the Noobus' is massive.

The other person barely even tried to meet the story where it was at and remained wholly uninterested the whole time, which led them to be bored and dip.

It was nice to see someone let themself be invested and spend time just talking to people.

[JarethS]

I'd never really thought about it like that, but... "It's just Sims with a story" is horrifyingly accurate. 10/10 Noobus, glad y'all had fun with this one.

[RockR]

Who's you favorite?

Karlach

You just met her!

Yes


Unbelievably based.

[Tresadd]

The noobus put more effort into her Tav's story than I did, I'll try to do the same for my next playthrough

[raefbjorn]

Someone who takes that much effort to clear the goblin camp after so many game overs, fucky situations and glitches, frustrating mechanics and workarounds could not have possibly just put this game down after the tiefling celebration. I refuse to believe she put this game down forever! Awaiting the follow up: "My wife has been playing Baldur's Gate 3 for 1200 hours", thanks!

[heathercilliers]

I would pay good money to see her play acts 2 & 3. She’s just so fun to watch!

[Lady_Piddlebits]

Bruh I'm such a freaking idiot. When you called her a noobus I heard Anubis and was like, "The Egyptian god of death? That's a cute pet name I guess " 🤣

[MjollTheLioness-oy]

"I've got a stuck-up cow and an alien who thinks I'm her subordinate." 😂

[VaryaTheVillain]

7:38 the SWITCH from "OMG" to *"loot the body"* is SO FUNNY and SO TRUE. your wife's a natural at TTRPGs.

[Kenionatus]

That's an amazing character she created. Snow Black looks like constantly a bit confused, frustrated and out of place. I imagine not quite unlike how someone who hasn't played a lot of games feels when playing. XD

[Shadowolf]

"i have no doubt he is as seductive as he is succinct" is such an epic burn from Lae'zel

[Con-gt]

The first time Gale leaves camp, he takes about three steps and gets killed. Somewhere in a nearby goblin camp, Minthara finds herself smiling for no particular reason at all.

[Acrylescent]

This is unironically a perfect game for a twisted version of Snow White. This is the only game I know of that has sooo much you can do with talk with animals.
