Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players share the \u201cdumbest noob\u201d things they did when starting out Larian StudiosA massive CRPG like Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 can pose a challenge for newcomers, leading players to share the \u201cdumbest\u201d things they did early on. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is topping many 2023 game of the year lists \u2013 including Dexerto\u2019s own \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s easy for new players to jump in. While the game does a good job of introducing players to the basic mechanics of CRPGs and Dungeons & Dragons, there are plenty of details that you\u2019ll have to learn for yourself \u2013 sometimes the hard way. Now, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are sharing the \u201cdumbest\u201d mistakes they\u2019ve made, which should hopefully help some new players out. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are forgetting to read descriptions, pressing wrong buttons & more The discussion was started by Reddit user Boring_Account_1063, who asked the BaldursGate3 subreddit what is the \u201cDumbest noob thing you did?\u201d To start, they shared their own experience with the Sussur Bloom flowers found in the Underdark. After picking some up, the player noticed their spellcasting stopped working during Act 1, and it took about two hours of play to realize that these flowers have antimagic abilities that nullify all spells in their range. Several others said they made the mistake of giving the wrong kinds of armor to companions or equipping it on characters who are better off without it. In most games, it\u2019s typically best to equip the strongest armor you have on characters, but Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 uses D&D\u2019s more complicated system in which different types of armor require proficiency to wear without significant drawbacks. \u201cI put Gale in medium armor boots and couldn\u2019t figure out why he couldn\u2019t cast until after the fight,\u201d said one player, who initially didn\u2019t realize Wizards don\u2019t automatically have armor proficiency. \u201cHad Karlach in a heavy helm that was hidden for a good long while,\u201d added another, which actually helped quite a few other commenters understand how unarmored defense works. Others made even more basic mistakes, like those on console or playing with controllers pressing the \u201cEnd Turn\u201d button when they meant to pull up their spell options. Luckily for those who have made this mistake, there is an option to toggle on \u201cHold to end turn.\u201d If you liked this, be sure to check out the rest of our Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 coverage, which includes the latest news, guides, and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
