    Spending the whole night in a world you love until the sun comes up is something I wish everyone could experience, especially if it's not disruptive to your health or routine, but either way it can be unforgettable.
  • @sarahthedemigod
    The BG3 dating show bit is the perfect guide to choose your romance 10/10
  • @comradefall
    i wasn’t expecting the romance to be that good, but the first romance scene with karlach while we couldn’t even touch gave me butterflies in my stomach irl… games aren’t supposed to make me feel this way
  • You should have like two billion subscribers honestly. This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I've never been so engaged before with a "content creator" or "someone of your generation" in general. You are really, really, really good at what you do, and utterly charming too. What a gift.

    “I know everyone is in love with him but I can’t get over the fact that he is a gay man that hates me” is one of the best quotes I’ve heard in a while
  • @Ekami-chan
    After being an adult who's called mad and out of touch with reality because of getting into things, hearing "allow yourself harmless joy" got to me c':
  • @fuelbot
    Thank you for making me feel so much better about finally getting to be the nerd I should've been my entire life.
  • @lameborghini6980
    I’m gonna be so real with you rn, I accidentally clicked on this video and I was gonna go back to the one I intended to watch - but I’m SO GLAD I stuck around and watched this! Like… YOURE BASICALLY ME! I’m so obsessed with this game and the characters and get so immersed and I feel like you and I could just fangirl about it together for hours and hours. I’m about to go check out the rest of your content now hahaha
  • @pointyhatstudios
    This made me feel SO MUCH BETTER about completely giving up on being productive for close to a week straight and just playing the game! You captured so much of what makes it so special :)
  • Theo - Wyll's voice actor - said the romance scenes were his favorite part. I can't wait to experience it (even though he's not very high on my romance list)
  • @koopa9815
    This reminded me to play the game like I'm reading/writing a book about my characters' adventures. Sometimes I get so caught up in getting the best outcomes, best loot, best builds, etc. that I forget to just create interesting situations, and it also kills the fun to optimize too much. It's so so so fun to just let things play out. Thanks for that!
  • Watching this blew my freaking mind. Not even exaggerating. I knew there was something special about this game, but just how special I couldn't even fathom. Larian has actually created true D&D gameplay in a digital medium. A creation like this can only come from a collective of minds with uncompromising love and passion for their work ❤
  • @omgspacebimbo
    So proud of you for making the leap to full time content creator, Momo! Your joy is our joy <3
  • @anythingfun13
    Ooof how did you know I've been getting caught up in 'playing the game wrong'??? I've spent years playing games where there is a right and wrong way to play and it's been making it difficult to get myself out of the habit of being nervous when making decisions - even minor ones! This game is truly a gift
  • The idea that astarion alone has 9 hours of voice acted lines (at least) is positively insane to me and it goes to show this game is like witcher 3 level of story telling
  • @Wanzie
    The amount of overall effort, love and passion that was put into Baulders Gate 3 really shows. Modern devs need to take notes !
  • @JBRam2002
    I've never seen your content before, but I love how you perfectly described everything about BG3 and why I love it. Thank you <3
  • @rosywatkins8786
    THANK YOU for touching on “Explorer” mode. I am not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but I love D&D and wanted to give this game a go. I have never once felt shame for playing on the easiest mode. I just love a good story ✨
  • @Kipasaur
    This game has taken over so much of my life outside of work. I get so sucked into the world and characters and actually feeling like I'm there.
  • @madbadbat
    My wife and I are completely enthralled by this game. We both take turns playing on my computer (her laptop either needs more XP or she needs a new machine). Anyway, this has definitely helped us to limit our playtime in Faerun. If (and when) we get her set up with a better computer, we are going to play together and I'm pretty sure we won't be seen by the outside world for years. It's all good though, neither of us feels bad about being lost in what is an amazing gaming experience. Thanks for sharing your personal journey here. And also congratulations on getting sponsored by Larian! That's pretty amazing! PS, Also, you asked about Minsc... I'm not sure if you have already been told about him, but he was one of the characters you could recruit in Baldur's Gate (one)... He was a ranger with a pet miniature giant space hamster named Boo (who permanently occupied one of his equipment slots and would squeak any time you clicked on him). One of his battle cries was "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the EYES!" (BG1 was a great game for its time too!) Minsc has since been a very popular character in the Baldur's Gate/Forgotten Realms series (Jaheira too, to a slightly lesser extent). Hope that helps.
