0:00:10.241,0:00:12.844
- From the developer known[br]for a bunch of games

0:00:12.844,0:00:15.231
that are almost Dungeons and Dragons

0:00:15.231,0:00:18.275
comes the second great take[br]on D&D this year

0:00:18.275,0:00:21.419
and the most accurate D&D[br]video game to date

0:00:21.419,0:00:23.905
because the main characters[br]are a bunch of horny losers

0:00:23.905,0:00:25.926
that can't seem to do anything right.

0:00:25.926,0:00:28.616
Baldur's Gate 3.

0:00:28.616,0:00:31.895
Experience the buggiest open-world[br]game on the market

0:00:31.895,0:00:34.708
until two weeks from now,[br]when Starfield comes out

0:00:34.708,0:00:37.963
as you journey once more[br]into the world of Faerun,

0:00:37.963,0:00:42.424
a magical land of fantasy,[br]where everyone wants to [bleep] you,

0:00:42.424,0:00:46.811
including all the perverts in your party,[br]the sexy wildlife,

0:00:46.811,0:00:48.958
but mostly your own dice.

0:00:48.958,0:00:51.036
Other than that though,[br]Faerun isn't too different

0:00:51.036,0:00:53.101
from the real world[br]because everyone needs

0:00:53.101,0:00:56.237
a long rest and has[br]a serious case of brain worms.

0:00:56.237,0:01:00.429
Search the land for a way to get rid[br]of the worst hitchhiker of all time,

0:01:00.429,0:01:04.045
a wriggling mind flayer tadpole[br]that got plopped into your peeper,

0:01:04.045,0:01:06.831
which you have to fight[br]against the influence of

0:01:06.831,0:01:09.116
while trying to figure out[br]how to remove it

0:01:09.116,0:01:10.869
from your brain without dying

0:01:10.869,0:01:13.802
as your quest to pluck it out[br]has you trying everything

0:01:13.802,0:01:18.441
from homeopathic druid medicine,[br]to Githyanki torture chambers,

0:01:18.441,0:01:21.086
to just picking up a drifter[br]and letting him go to town

0:01:21.086,0:01:22.915
on your face with an icepick.

0:01:22.915,0:01:26.519
Why can I not summon health insurance?!

0:01:26.519,0:01:30.037
Min-max your way [br]through every fantasy ride you start

0:01:30.037,0:01:32.941
with a robust character creation system

0:01:32.941,0:01:36.094
that, like D&D itself,[br]lets you create whatever

0:01:36.094,0:01:38.331
freak of nature your brain can conjure,

0:01:38.331,0:01:41.656
so long as it has [br]one of six genitalia options.

0:01:41.656,0:01:45.703
Then decide whether to be a brain,[br]an athlete, a basketcase,

0:01:45.703,0:01:49.508
a princess, a criminal,[br]or someone who's completely

0:01:49.508,0:01:51.347
[bleep] useless.

0:01:51.347,0:01:54.584
- Sincerely yours,[br]the Breakfast Club.

0:01:54.584,0:01:57.949
- After which, you'll level up[br]with powerful new tadpole skills

0:01:57.949,0:02:00.519
and an impressive case [br]of not beating 'em

0:02:00.519,0:02:02.471
and therefore joining 'em

0:02:02.471,0:02:04.523
by using the parasites in your head

0:02:04.523,0:02:06.828
to learn stuff like "push"[br]and "migraine"

0:02:06.828,0:02:09.627
as all your companions tell you[br]how bad of an idea it is

0:02:09.627,0:02:12.131
to listen to your literal dark passenger.

0:02:12.131,0:02:14.332
- I think we should resist these powers.

0:02:14.332,0:02:17.739
There are simply too many[br]unknowns for us to risk it.

0:02:17.739,0:02:21.366
- But you can always just peer pressure[br]them into going full slug-mode with you.

0:02:21.366,0:02:24.326
Come on, Shadowheart! [br]Embrace the worm!

0:02:24.326,0:02:25.979
All the cool kids are doing it!

0:02:25.979,0:02:29.798
- Well... perhaps you have a point.

0:02:29.798,0:02:33.468
- Gather up your intrepid adventurers [br]in single-player mode

0:02:33.468,0:02:35.720
like a team of sexy Pokémon

0:02:35.720,0:02:38.622
and use their combined skills[br]like you would in real life,

0:02:38.622,0:02:41.609
trying to have conversations[br]that don't end in death threats,

0:02:41.609,0:02:44.078
then once things inevitably [br]go off the rails,

0:02:44.078,0:02:48.050
try to remember all your different moves[br]as you shove, stab,

0:02:48.050,0:02:51.066
and magic trick your way[br]through the incoming hordes.

0:02:51.066,0:02:52.653
- Illusion, Michael.[br]- Hmm.

0:02:52.653,0:02:54.422
- A trick is something[br]a whore does for money.

0:02:54.422,0:02:57.108
- And if that doesn't work,[br]you can cast the strongest spell

0:02:57.108,0:02:59.577
in the game -- save scumming.

0:02:59.577,0:03:02.097
Wait, it's been two hours[br]since I remembered to save?

0:03:02.097,0:03:05.725
What kind of game makes you[br]manually save in 2023?

0:03:05.725,0:03:09.120
Once you've decided to give up[br]on babysitting a bunch of NPCs,

0:03:09.120,0:03:12.313
bring your real life D&D group[br]into the virtual world

0:03:12.313,0:03:14.813
and watch them make[br]the same infuriating choices

0:03:14.813,0:03:16.478
that they do IRL,

0:03:16.478,0:03:18.947
steal all the loot for themselves,

0:03:18.947,0:03:21.650
and pick the most bonkers dialogue options

0:03:21.650,0:03:24.953
just to see if they can make you[br]actually explode for real.

0:03:24.953,0:03:27.022
Hey, if you're lucky,[br]this'll go exactly like

0:03:27.022,0:03:29.825
an actual tabletop session[br]and everyone will make excuses

0:03:29.825,0:03:32.136
to bail out of the campaign[br]after a couple weeks for some reason.

0:03:32.136,0:03:35.493
- This could be everything[br]we've been looking for.

0:03:35.493,0:03:38.516
- Go up against the scariest enemy[br]of the game --

0:03:38.516,0:03:40.469
the U.I. --

0:03:40.469,0:03:43.838
with so many inventories to manage[br]that it feels like looking

0:03:43.838,0:03:45.557
at a Candy Crush level,

0:03:45.557,0:03:47.742
tooltips on tooltips on tooltips,

0:03:47.742,0:03:50.329
and row after row [br]of skills and spells

0:03:50.329,0:03:52.832
to make you just shrug[br]and use whatever's in your hand

0:03:52.832,0:03:53.953
at the time.

0:03:53.953,0:03:54.916
What?

0:03:54.916,0:03:57.388
Nobody used Excel sheets[br]in the middle of a war zone.

0:03:57.388,0:04:00.639
So grab a 20-sided die[br]and get ready to roll

0:04:00.639,0:04:03.625
the most nat ones[br]you've ever seen in your life

0:04:03.625,0:04:06.129
in a truly massive gaming experience

0:04:06.129,0:04:09.728
that will appeal to both old[br]and new fans of the series

0:04:09.728,0:04:13.273
thanks to its intriguing story,[br]fun characters,

0:04:13.273,0:04:16.171
and thrilling battles,[br]all coming together

0:04:16.171,0:04:20.044
to make an impressive approximation[br]of a real D&D campaign

0:04:20.044,0:04:23.511
run by the worst DM[br]in the entire [bleep] world.

0:04:23.511,0:04:25.631

Don't call me Ratatouille.

How many Lowe's[br]could Rob Lowe rob

0:05:10.926,0:05:13.712
if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?

0:05:13.712,0:05:16.854
How's about maybe a thanks[br]for saving you from what appears to be,

0:05:16.854,0:05:20.286
I don't know, some kind [br]of sci-fi sideburn dimension?
