Hey everyone, welcome back to Board Games Unlocked. Bailey and I are continuing Balders's Gate 3. Um, one thing I was admiring actually about uh this scene that we're in is that it gives me the ability to sneeze.
No, is the uh the aesthetic certainly does feel like a a town. like all the just all the noise all the that you know have you ever been in like a restaurant and you're and you've have you ever tried to pick out
you know a conversation
just to see if you could listen and be like hm can I single out that person over there
yeah so being a manager at restaurants before going through and actually like being like okay I know that table's having issues like I'm trying to hear them from like the other side of the room.
Yeah,
it's so weird.
However, at uh when I used to work at uh Panera Bread, there was a uh like the acoustics in that room, there was one spot you could go and stand and uh from where the uh person who uh calls out the orders for people, you could stand where they were standing.
Mhm. And there's a spot on the other side of the room you could whisper and you could hear it over there like that person was standing next to you.
Gotcha. And uh we would go through and do that like whenever uh someone was like delivering stuff or just walking through there, we'd go we'd just go through and say their name and stuff just to get them to look at you and just flip them off or something. But like but yeah. No, you just go, "Hey dude, look over here." and like they'd like stop and like what the [ __ ] was that?
That's funny. I just bought this gazette from this uh timid little person.
Yeah.
Um and I opened it up uh and there's a couple things. One, this looks like a legitimate paper that it makes me upset that all of their other documents look like it's a word document. All right, let me
um
But here, I'll send it to you.
Okay,
you can also buy one for two gold. Um
I also just told him I'm not interested.
Yeah. So, if you open it up, the headlines are in common.
Oh my god.
Yeah, it looks so nice.
Right. But the rest of it is like in a language and it's like, huh, I wonder if that's just, you know, [ __ ] Like it doesn't matter. the headlines are what you're supposed to read or if you actually have a different language if that you're able to read more.
I don't even know if decipher languages is a thing in this game.
Yeah, it's not like in this game everything is common. Everything like not a single spot I think where someone speaks a different language to you.
That that makes Okay.
But I mean that would be a cool aspect to put into like a like an actual like real D and D kind of thing like
Yeah. Shut up.
Do you know what I just figured out?
What?
Whenever you move, do you click like to your spots?
Yes.
Do you know you can just hold
and then your character will naturally move and you can drag?
Nope. What the [ __ ] dude? This makes everything a little bit easier.
Oh, the go. All right, so I am completely lost. I don't know where to go. Yes. So, uh, we can look at the we can look at our map first. So, like if you're wanting to stop and instantly do like a Sterian's thing.
That's where we that that's the only thing we have actually lit up on the map right now.
Oh, okay.
However,
I don't like the look.
There are a few things. So, like if we close if you go into the quest area, close down
the main quest stuff.
Yep.
Um, we have Raphael. consider his deal. That's neither here nor there. We don't want to do his deal anyway,
right?
Um, Boulders's Gate. Uh, rest at camp. Uh, Mizora. She's at camp. Wants to talk to us. Um, who?
Find the gnome. Misora. Mizora. Uh, Will's [ __ ] demon.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. His demon mommy. Um the
Oh, I see it. Okay.
Iron hands.
They want to talk to us. It's the people who that shitty cut scene where he threw something at it and then didn't do anything else.
Yeah.
Um we could try to do Dribbles a clown, but that's like a that's a whole different [ __ ] thing. And I looked up what you get from it, and you don't get anything like insanely cool. All right, cool. Um let's see. our fiery friend.
Oh, by the way, Devin told me how you actually win against the Xen.
Xen. Oh, yeah. How
you pickpocket him and he has a he has a device that you take.
Oh, cool. So, pickpocketing in a game that hates when you pickpocket.
Uh, pretty much that you try to pickpocket and they have they're all of a sudden eagle-eyed and they're like,
"Yeah,
what are you doing? I have 99 sneak. I don't What the [ __ ]
How'd you do this? Uh
uh but yeah, Devon was like, "Yeah, you pickpocket him and then that's how you that's how you beat him."
Uh Carlac wants us to kill Gortach. Um she will be very upset when we go back to uh camp. Just an FYI. Um rest at camp. Uh
well, I mean, well, let's say let's let's go to camp. Yeah, camp sounds like that we need to go there and at least talk to everyone.
You also said it was this was your favorite.
I I like when we start Yeah, I like this camp cuz it's just like in like a back alleyway.
Yeah, I do like that there are a bunch of different camp aesthetics.
Yeah, instead of always like the same one,
right? It's like a generic camp wilderness or something.
Um, Carlos is over here [ __ ] naked. Also, this [ __ ] Yenna is over here still.
Is that a kid?
Can you attack her?
I don't know. Probably. It does say attack.
Wow, you did so much damage and she ran away.
Now there's grub. I'll take Oh,
do we have greetings? Oh, well, the cat doesn't like me. I have potion of animals speak. I'm going to drink it and talk to it. Oh, that's fair. I'll uh Oh, I can't. That's right. I probably Oh, I did pass. Yay.
The cat fears back. You read something in its eyes. Doubt. Resignation perhaps.
All right. Yeah. Well, go and talk to the cat.
I'm just a cat. talk to Henna.
Um,
I don't like talking.
Is my best friend. She's kind. Help her. Not me. But please don't.
Please don't. You walk away. Where you going? Oh god, that reminded me of the other cat at the the uh the harbor area that died.
Oh yeah,
after we got it milk cat.
Um,
hey ya. What's up? Don't mind me.
Um, hi. It's me, Yenna.
You remember me, right? I met you before and
Oh, God.
My mom hasn't come back yet. She might come later. I don't think
she looks like a [ __ ] drug addict.
We may be safe here.
No, girl.
No. What the [ __ ] Jihi, stupid [ __ ]
Who it is doing all this snoring?
No.
No kids allowed. Come back in 10 years.
I won't make it that long on my own.
Not my problem.
But um but all right, I'll go. But you'll see. You should have said yes,
but you'll see.
It's Leviosa.
That's exactly who it is. Like, that's exactly who it is.
Where the hell am I? What What is happening right now?
I don't know. The Will's over here at the question mark on the st.
Dude, I'm not on the map anymore.
Oh, you're walking back and forth on me.
No, I am. I promise you I am no longer showing up here. Hold on. Hey. Hey, Liz. Baby,
this is the city proper, is it? I didn't expect it to be so outrageously ordinary.
Yeah,
she didn't she didn't say the word ordinary for me.
Really?
What the hell?
Yeah, I just said I didn't expect it to be so outrageously
and then didn't say anything else. You know Raphael holds the key to the prince's freedom and you've turned away.
Return to Raphael. We've no other choice.
She wants us to to break him free.
Okay, I'm back. But for for a while, I was I was like, "What the hell?" All right. Hey, Will, my dude. All right. Went the longest way possible.
That was the weird way.
Your discussion with Mizora to Will. Yeah, she's a skank.
Father's been taken and Mazzora started to scheme by all.
Don't read my [ __ ] mind.
Certainly not. But she's as inevitable as to
I want to fight her.
We'll have answers soon enough.
Let's talk to Mazora. Until then,
I didn't.
May my father keep safe whatever coupe he's been flown to. So, I wasn't doing a uh dark urge run through, but I was doing an all evil run through. And my entire mentality was that like everyone is beneath me, even other pe other evil people. It's like, no, I need you to also be beneath me.
So, I wanted to just kill everyone and make other people submit.
Like, you know, you know the the painter uh slave at the in act one.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
I tried to see if I could uh own him.
No,
it doesn't work. He just runs off.
I bet.
All right.
I say how I know how I say how did that go and I know you've never gotten packed at past act two besides to right now.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I know he's here. I think I I did pay or I convinced you.
Yeah, I think he should he should be here. He did say find him in uh find him here. I think we need to sleep to unlock stuff.
Oh yeah, it did. It did say rest. So we can just end the day, baby.
There we go.
Oh [ __ ] He's going to Oh, never mind. It's Will. No, dude. He's like a damn interrupted again. And he's like, I'm ready to [ __ ] Oh, I'm hot and goopy.
I was going to say she looks like she's like covered in poop when she comes out of there.
Damn, dude. It's like a three on two.
Damn.
Come sisters, be my testament. No sit in. I will say I do like the fact that
the uh the warlock so the the packs actually has like a like a um contract clause and all that stuff
that's an interesting way to go about it.
I know that's how it is but that's never ever how it's portrayed.
No,
you're just like ah I'm bound to the It's basically like a what a paladin does.
Uh please introduce me to your friends. Arbiters for the hills, exemplars of justice.
Your parasite are single and your memories flow into him. He sees his father's flight from Worms Rock and hears Mizora's words to you.
[ __ ] Where did Gortach send my father? How do I shave him?
How do I shave him?
Yeah, dude. When did he get a retainer in?
It's his night retainer. Infernos.
What the [ __ ] was she doing? She was like just the person who doesn't really know the words.
This is cool.
[ __ ] I didn't remember.
Will signed in blood, forged in fire, bound in bone.
Gleaked on
unbreakable. No contract is ended without sacrifice. A cost must be paid.
All right, I'll sleep with you.
Will, Raven Guard. A choice is before you.
He just stabs me.
I the way to your father. I guarantee him no harm except that from you and your allies. and you pledge your soul to me and the arch devil Zariel in a pact eternal. Option two, I break your pact and you are freed from your duty. Your father dies by his enemy's hand
and Boulder's gate loses its greatest champion.
Name your sacrifice.
Bloody Zariel. I won't let her take Will. Silence,
Missra.
You [ __ ]
You [ __ ]
What happens to his powers?
That's actually a good question.
Dude, just let your father die. This just He says it so calmly. He's like, "Fucking you. Let him."
Hey, by the way, uh yeah, let your father die. I'm loving this angle. These feet like this. No, I'm talking about these centered feet.
I know what you're talking about.
Uh, man, I would really like to fight her.
Let's see. Why can't I just let him pick?
Yeah, right. Han, you got to pick.
Um, I mean, he basically did everything for his father, so I imagine that he would just let himself die. He would he would rather
damned wrench
keep uh he doesn't want his father to get hurt the main thing.
Oh, okay.
Do it then. Claim my soul for Zario. Keep my father safe.
Fiat. Fiat.
Excuse you. at all.
No. No. No chance to stop it. No chance to Okay, I guess that's that. Sorry, Will. Sucks to suck.
Seems you've got a new mission, pup. Go save your father. He's locked in a very nasty place. Gortach's secret command center and prison. Lucky for you, I know the way in. I'll mark your map. After all, a deal's a deal. You know what? I think I'll stick.
Can you What are you clicking?
Not for the greater good.
Oh, sorry. Yeah, I forget that's a thing.
For the entertainment.
All right. Bye.
Yeah, that's cool. That was We have a literally a [ __ ] demigod over here. Why didn't you just step in and be like, It's true. The night song.
Yeah. Hey. Uh, hey, you want to you want to hop in here? Help us out a bit. Oh, now she's stick Oh, she is sticking around. Hey, any chance I could romance you?
Why the stunned face?
Dude, if you can do 89 points of damage in one go.
Like, no, I'm trying, dude.
Cunning am I? You see me as a schemer, an exploer. You've pegged me wrong, little B.
I'd like to peg you right.
I was say you can peg me right.
And I have an eye for a good cause. Will needed help, so I indulged him. I've always been the giving type after all.
Oh, dude. She's into begging a million%.
Go to Gortach's secret prison, and I'll help you spring Will's daddy free.
Will's daddy?
Of course. You could always leave him to rot.
That'd be fine. Thought that would make Will's sacrifice.
Yeah, just screw them both over.
I know you wouldn't want that.
Hey, now you're internally bound to her. And uh
I don't want to help you.
Yeah.
Um
why? I'm supplying Will with every scrap of his infernal power. I've paid my dues many times over. I tell you what, when the time comes to squish that big baddy of a brain, I'll lend you a hand.
Yes.
Like I said, I'm the giving type.
Me, too. How about we both give to each other?
Damn. Can you even romance her? Probably not.
I don't think so. Probably. Yeah. Hey, if I uh if I pledge my soul to your services, can I get one? Like just one. Just touch it.
Just just touch it.
Or just look at me while I touch it.
Hey Will, what's going on? Yes, man. That's rough by your dad and all that.
Twice Morris held my feet to the fire.
That's hot.
And twice was I burnt.
But my father will live. We will return the Grand Duke to his people and forever a devil's leash will choke me.
Chin up.
Sometimes fate closes a door for good. The bolt is fastened, the key is destroyed, and a wish is forever locked away. The hells will take my soul. I'll make my peace with it. I have once already, after all.
Besides, there's no time to wallow in self-puty. More than anything, I'm elated that there's hope yet for my father.
Who hates you, by the way?
Mystery prison and retrieve my father
before Mora tries pulling more tricks.
I mean, he sent him away because he saw the horns.
This prison's in the lower city. Let's move. Um, you know what? I'm actually going to have him join us for that.
Do you want me to put him instead of uh what's her [ __ ] face?
Uh, yeah, if you want.
That's fine with me.
Yeah, Sterion's just too good of a
Yeah, he he hits once and it's like almost a one shot.
However, I do I'm going to character meaning seems intent on haunting.
Yeah, we did sell all those items.
So, we don't have any items for him.
That is true. I saved some. So, he did. Okay.
I mean, he uses a rapier, doesn't he?
Just to escape that.
Yeah, he used single, but I have uh such special ones that she had.
Okay.
I think I may have gotten rid of them. I know I have I know I have swords for him. Um, let's see. Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Yeah. Farways. Yes.
Oh, back and forth.
Yeah, they put the I am at the bottom.
Uh uh. I need
Hey, but I do actually need you to leave
later. Trouble, but I suspect it will find you whether you like it or not. Her accent reminds me of Kate Beckansale and Van Helsing.
Yeah, I can see that.
Which is a completely underrated movie. Um, yeah, I do not have any.
Once held to the fire and twice.
Oh, did she? Oh, wow.
But like you were super high. Yeah.
Return the grand.
We should hurry this mystery prison and retrieve my father. What's that one?
This prison's in the lower city. Let's move. That's the
Yay. Level up, Will. All right, you're level one. So now I have to
keeping my level level one. We're playing hard mode doing uh whatever honor an honor run level one.
Jesus Christ.
That's [ __ ] that.
That's there's that's not even possible.
I don't care what anyone says. It's not possible. Oh, by the way, Withers, I know you're very interested in my sex life. Well, I was trying to sleep with that hot demon over there, and it didn't work. So,
I'm going to bed. Let's see. Oh, that's a cool staff she has.
There it is. Okay. See, I don't think I need these infernal medals. Don't need these stupid tadpoles. I don't need this stupid loot on my back. Don't need the broken moon lantern. Astral tadpole, sever torso. Uh, the nether stone might be handy.
Apparently, I have a surgery kit and a stuffed bear. Okay.
I wish there was a way for me to sort my actions. Yeah, right. I really wish you could customize that down there, but I don't think you can.
Oh, that's nice. There's a toggle light source button.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
Oh, I think I fixed I think I figured it out.
Oh, really? Um, kind of. Uh, actually, if you hit that toggle light source button, that fixed some of my some of my stuff. How are you building him?
Um, I'm leaving I'm going with what his fiend stuff is.
Okay. Um, but I'm going to go through and add and hopefully uh let's see. I think I want him more to focus on his uh swords more.
Okay,
let's see. What is his what? I need to know what his proficiencies are, but I don't think I can. I don't think I can see that. No can. Oh, actually. So, we need to focus on decks build because that decks and charisma. Okay. So, let's just do this first. That's this. bump those up five. I specifically also went with the pack of the chain or pack of the uh blade just to give him an extra attack also.
So now he has two attacks. Hey, Albert Cub. Oh. Yeah,
camp life seems to suit the young owl there. His coat of feathers seems fuller. His eyes look bright and inquisitive. Okay. Well, I'm clicking leave and now it won't [ __ ] let me. I guess I'll Okay. Oh, [ __ ] a. Balders's Gate.
I guess I'm just I'm forever tied to this stupid ass [ __ ] bear. And there's no escape, no nothing. Um, okay. Maybe I don't know if you hit like sleep or something that'll bring me out of it. It might let me cuz I'm almost done with him. He's on seven. So
nope, it's the game menu. Character select. Okay, hold on. I might be able to
Nope. I'm just [ __ ]
one step at a time. Hey, let me know whenever you're done and then I'll
Certainly.
Ah, certainly.
Yeah, that's exactly why I didn't want to pick a spellcaster or anything like that cuz leveling up seems like a [ __ ] pain.
Yeah, I mean it is, but once you get once you get like you know you know once every few levels I mean it's fine but like
I guess that's true. But this way, doing a just resetting it right now is a little bit more [ __ ] painful,
man. The [ __ ] All right, I'm done now. Well, let me Oh, okay. Shot shot yourself. Uh, I need to grab Are you done?
Yeah.
Okay. Oh, I was going to grab the chest and
see what I can throw on him.
Oh, good. Someone's in dialogue.
Well, I'm This is a short episode. I'm just going to [ __ ] call it right here so I can back out and all this [ __ ] So,
yeah.
So, yep. Hope everyone's enjoying cuz every time something good happens in this [ __ ] game, it's immediately trashed by Jenk. So
that that's that tracks
that sounds like the Balders Gate 3 experience. So I guess we'll stick around for the rest of the series and like, comment, share, and subscribe and have a wonderful whatever time of day it is for you.
