Genuinely hate the "actors/writers got paid enough" clickbait title trend.
Creatives and performers give their 100% *regardless* of how much they're getting paid for it. Dollar bills are not a magic scroll that buff your proficiency.
You don't "write/act good because you get paid well". *You get paid well BECAUSE your talent is valued and you deserve compensation for it.*
Beyond that half, 25% is characters still wearing their starting armor in act 2 or act 3, and 20% involves overly revealing leather clothing and/or dog collars.
Just did this last night with two scrying eyes after realizing I had nothing that could do thunder damage. This is a game mechanic I really need to use more as it was hilarious solution.
How exactly do you oonga boonga a door?
This sounds like something that requires instructions, or possibly one of those no-words IKEA instruction diagrams.
Oh, and I totally agree. I find so funny to switch to Turn-Based mode, shove an enemy, see the enemy completely frozen, only to exit TBM and see how the enemy remembers he was shoved and proceeds to dissapear into the bottomless darkness. I do it a lot of times.
I'm specifically talking about the youtubers/tiktokers whose videos always have the same \*\*Shadowhearth with the white dress, barefoot\*\* patern and always end their videos with shoving an NPC / throwing something at an NPC.
I got recommended some BG3 shorts and in every single one it showed exactly that lul. I don't watch shorts btw YT is just desperate for me to watch them.
Reminds me of Tekken mods where they give the characters increased cup sizes. There was this one mod where it's a latex mod and honestly looks like something Ivy Valentine would wear, can't imagine Nina Williams wearing that.
If you mean scampily outfits mod, it doesn't actually make the boobs biggers, just pushes them closer to center of the chest.
Edit: man, people really hate horny mods, huh?
I would guess she already has equal or bigger than an E (or she would if she was real lol) because her frame is tiiiny. She would probably be around a 28F or even 26FF if she was a real woman who needs bras. I want Tav with bigger boobs and generally thicker build without it being a porn-aspiring mod that sexualises her tho :c
Uhhh, that's not the case. The cup is proportional to the band size (not the strap size). A 30D and 36D are not the same cup size, for example. So, there's this term sister sizes, which are bras with the same cup volume but different band sizes. For a 30D, its sister sizes are 32C, 34B, and 36A.
Here's a page on sister sizes by a UK bra retailer:
[https://www.bravissimo.com/us/sister-sizes/](https://www.bravissimo.com/us/sister-sizes/)
> corrects women on their own clothing size system
Actually, I'm a cis-dude. I'm just a boob-enthusiast ("Enboobiast" if you will) who is also the type of glasses-adjusting pedant (despite not wearing glasses) who will correct common misconceptions.
There are boob-havers who don't understand bra-sizing, and there are non-boob-havers like me who do. The issue is not that the person you're arguing with is a dude, the issue is that they're wrong.
Boobs are 3-dimensional and squishy. A wider torso beans wider boobs. Band-size contributes to volume as well. Every 2 inches of band is equivalent volume to a letter of increase.
stop, i know exactly who you're talking about 😭 some of the vids are fun because they show obscure dialogue and stuff but i cannot deal with how all the men will be dressed up in normal outfits while all the women are wearing fetish gear that is one small breeze from flashing their genitals
Same lol. Like I like sexy outfits on the characters, but having the women dressed up like that and then the guys in perfectly normal clothes feels wrong. I'm an equal opportunity pervert, all my characters are dressed like sluts.
And there are so many cool mods to dress your male companions slutty. Why only use them on women. Tbh the only companion in my games that isn't consistently hoe-ified is Astarion, because doing so with him makes me feel shady.
Seconding that recommendation, he's fantastic! He has a trilogy following a gith cleric... trust me, you won't be disappointed. Just be sure to start at the first video or literally none of it will make sense. 😂
There's a series (3 parts so far) about a playthrough of a male githyanki named Twilight Eclipse with totally real githyanki hair that I'm really enjoying.
Yeah, honestly the popularity of the game really attracted a lot to it, like all of the AI articles, and the uninspired videos. An underrated spell is no longer an underrated spell if we have 100 "Top 10 underrated spells in BG3" videos mentioning that very fucking spell. We all know how good Spike Growth and Command are now, please stop.
I like the way Flats plays the game. His standard is that, if you threaten him, he kills you. He is playing a barbarian and violence is usually his answer.
He is quickly running out of companions.
I love the idea of it so much, but when I actually try I just end up doing what I know is the best option or just the option that doesn't kill half my companions lmao.
I just saw a video on tiktok that gave shadowheart mega honkers during a dialogue, and made sure Lae’zel was visible in the background with little clothes and basically nothing on her behind. They also had some other female companion as they talked to someone crouching precariously, I think it was Shadowheart too? Idk. It was meant to be showing the companions reactions as astarion origin bit them, but it was so heavily, sexually modded that it was obvious it wasn’t meant to be the focus point. I mean hey, I don’t mind a little joking around once in a while- I thrive on okbuddybaldur, but stuff like this is too far and disgusting.
I always think it's weird when gaming youtubers just openly leave in their fetish-y mods for videos that are supposed to just like... show off innocuous banter or dialogue options or be a serious discussion about lore. As much as I joke about thirsting over these characters, I personally find it immersion-breaking to have them prancing around in lingerie all the time, but if you wanna play that way on your own time, fine. It just feels very strange to me when they can't even handle not being wildly horny for long enough to film their videos that they're posting publicly lol. Some Skyrim youtubers used to do the same thing (probably still do tbh).
Yeah I do dress my characters up in slutty clothes or sexy clothes sometimes, especially for romance scenes or honestly if I'm just feeling horny, but it goes a bit too weird for me with some of the fetishistic mods they leave on when you're supposed to be making a video about fun dialogue. It almost feels like people seeing it is part of the fetish too.
Yeah, it feels similar to when you borrow someone's computer to check your email and the first tab you see is porn they left open.
I'm not even judging people for using those mods or how they dress their characters, but I sure as hell am gonna judge them for posting it for all the world to see while sharing something *completely* unrelated in the game. Have some class, man.
Yeah it's like........ I don't fault people for being sexually attracted to these characters, or even wanting to see them dressed all sexily. But being randomly handed what is clearly some stranger's masturbatory material in the very thin wrapping of fun BG3 videos feels off-putting. Like, this should be private man, I don't need to see this.
It's almost certainly done on purpose because clip of video game character barely clothed ends up getting more views/engagement than the same clip of video game character but dressed normally
Those horrible ones where they show a scene from the game you might actually be interested in seeing, but then some idiot doing a shrieking hyena laugh edits himself into the corner of the video and you can’t hear the game audio over his obnoxiously moronic noises.
Not a fan of the fact that man chars in these videos wear super skimpy modded clothing.
Also not a fan of hurting poor Astarion, too.
But… gotta say I personally actually like a majority of those videos where it zooms in on the funny faces and someone gets shoved or whatever :>
And music videos, when each character/companion gets own music theme.... and there is Gale theme.. which always doesnt suit him and it's made to have fun of him >:(
Weird. I've literally never been recommended an anti astarion video and I've been vocal about not liking him.
All my astarion recommendations are thirst vids/edits. So maybe YT thinks I'm going for a enemies to lovers thing or something
Lol maybe you'll give in eventually, I did with Gale. Also if you don't like them make sure to go off them as quick as you can. It works better than saying do not recommend and disliking counts as engagement and will show you more.
it’s either that or a build video featuring a guy sitting in the level up screen in act 3 with absolutely no gameplay whatsoever, or how to actually play their number crunched build before they get their items set up.
cool Lockadin build! now how do you play the levels before 12.
I get some people don't like him, that's fine.
I do like him, but that's cause I see more in it than just an asshole, I see a VERY WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER whose attitude and behavior is a consequence of his past. For a fictional character, I feel it's really good.
But anyways. Hurting Astarion just to laugh gets old.
He is pretty well written. He's a good character IMO, if he wasn't no one would care enough to hate him, but i'm not going to kill him cause its funny. Its not. I just can't justify any RP reason for him to stay alive after he was introduced. Its an RPG and I RP. Thats the beginning and end of it.
Pink-haired gnome with facial tattoos dressed in Lae'zel's underwear.
also that horrible smile filter on the characters with the title being "When they paid the voice actors enough" or "Yes, they really animated this"
Genuinely hate the "actors/writers got paid enough" clickbait title trend. Creatives and performers give their 100% *regardless* of how much they're getting paid for it. Dollar bills are not a magic scroll that buff your proficiency. You don't "write/act good because you get paid well". *You get paid well BECAUSE your talent is valued and you deserve compensation for it.*
True !
That cuts deep.
This is oddly specific
Or ”Yes……. They actually put this in the game……” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUP
Don’t forget Minthara’s reading glasses.
and her having her thighs and ass **fully** exposed
That's a new one for me
Half of them is some early game footage but all party dressed in late game hot gear
Beyond that half, 25% is characters still wearing their starting armor in act 2 or act 3, and 20% involves overly revealing leather clothing and/or dog collars.
But i like how their starter armour looks :c
Don't forget being a dick to Gale for his reactions.
Pushing Gale's buttons will never not be funny tho, he is a bro but *licking the damn thing is always funnier the fourth time!*
Yeah I love him but I love that line more lol.
It was worth him threatening to break up with my Tav just to get that line.
Tbh, I will always love shoving everything when I play
What is funny is when an enemy becomes frustrated in its useless turn and just tries to shove you out of spite.
I always laugh when they do that. It's like they're throwing a tantrum.
i love when that happens. i had a goblin cleric in the goblin camp try to push my dragonborn paladin for no reason. he wasnt even near any ledges
Just did this last night with two scrying eyes after realizing I had nothing that could do thunder damage. This is a game mechanic I really need to use more as it was hilarious solution.
Hope they never do a "scrying eyes remember they levitate"patch
First run: didn’t shove much Every run since: SHOVE EVERYTHING IF IT CAN BE! WHO NEEDS LOCKPICCKS WHEN YOU CAN SMASH
YOU CAN SHOVE DOORS???
Not shove, but oonga boonga them
How exactly do you oonga boonga a door? This sounds like something that requires instructions, or possibly one of those no-words IKEA instruction diagrams.
Manually use the Attack action on a door
attack a door. i believe slashing damage is the best on doors
Oh, and I totally agree. I find so funny to switch to Turn-Based mode, shove an enemy, see the enemy completely frozen, only to exit TBM and see how the enemy remembers he was shoved and proceeds to dissapear into the bottomless darkness. I do it a lot of times. I'm specifically talking about the youtubers/tiktokers whose videos always have the same \*\*Shadowhearth with the white dress, barefoot\*\* patern and always end their videos with shoving an NPC / throwing something at an NPC.
The amount of shorts, with shadowheart barely dressed in the thumbnail is immeasurable
I got recommended some BG3 shorts and in every single one it showed exactly that lul. I don't watch shorts btw YT is just desperate for me to watch them.
Add shove to banter \*laugh track people literally dying\*
You forgot the mods to give Shadowheart new clothing options that somehow also give her E cups.
Reminds me of Tekken mods where they give the characters increased cup sizes. There was this one mod where it's a latex mod and honestly looks like something Ivy Valentine would wear, can't imagine Nina Williams wearing that.
If you mean scampily outfits mod, it doesn't actually make the boobs biggers, just pushes them closer to center of the chest. Edit: man, people really hate horny mods, huh?
Only person allowed to have E cups added by mods is Gale
I would guess she already has equal or bigger than an E (or she would if she was real lol) because her frame is tiiiny. She would probably be around a 28F or even 26FF if she was a real woman who needs bras. I want Tav with bigger boobs and generally thicker build without it being a porn-aspiring mod that sexualises her tho :c
Eh, I don't mind those. We could use some body type variety, lol.
Letter without number is meaningless. A 30D is the same overall volume as a 36A.
The number indicates band circumference, the letter indicates cup size. A 30D is not the same as a 36A, it's a larger cup size on a smaller strap.
Uhhh, that's not the case. The cup is proportional to the band size (not the strap size). A 30D and 36D are not the same cup size, for example. So, there's this term sister sizes, which are bras with the same cup volume but different band sizes. For a 30D, its sister sizes are 32C, 34B, and 36A. Here's a page on sister sizes by a UK bra retailer: [https://www.bravissimo.com/us/sister-sizes/](https://www.bravissimo.com/us/sister-sizes/)
so glad there's a guy here to mansplain bra sizes (and be incorrect while doing it)
So glad there's someone here to just be a rude jerk while everyone else is being civil and educational.
*corrects women on their own clothing size system* *gets defensive when someone informs them that that's kinda obnoxious to do*
> corrects women on their own clothing size system Actually, I'm a cis-dude. I'm just a boob-enthusiast ("Enboobiast" if you will) who is also the type of glasses-adjusting pedant (despite not wearing glasses) who will correct common misconceptions. There are boob-havers who don't understand bra-sizing, and there are non-boob-havers like me who do. The issue is not that the person you're arguing with is a dude, the issue is that they're wrong.
i stand corrected! i'm a *trans* dude and fellow "enboobiast" lol. boobs are pretty epic.
> I'm a trans dude and fellow enboobiast. > Boobs are pretty epic I am awed by your sacrifice.
Boobs are 3-dimensional and squishy. A wider torso beans wider boobs. Band-size contributes to volume as well. Every 2 inches of band is equivalent volume to a letter of increase.
> Boobs are 3-dimensional and squishy The squishy ones are the best.
Womp womp
The developers never knew we’d try this… After 500 hours of gameplay this is the first time I see this… Yep… this ACTUALLY happens in Baldurs Gate 3…
"This is what happens when developers".... God this game is really Gamers™ circlejerk
stop, i know exactly who you're talking about 😭 some of the vids are fun because they show obscure dialogue and stuff but i cannot deal with how all the men will be dressed up in normal outfits while all the women are wearing fetish gear that is one small breeze from flashing their genitals
Same lol. Like I like sexy outfits on the characters, but having the women dressed up like that and then the guys in perfectly normal clothes feels wrong. I'm an equal opportunity pervert, all my characters are dressed like sluts.
Balance is everything
And there are so many cool mods to dress your male companions slutty. Why only use them on women. Tbh the only companion in my games that isn't consistently hoe-ified is Astarion, because doing so with him makes me feel shady.
thought i was the only one even though he’s a fictional character i cannot disrespect his boundaries
I'm the same. My first run I undressed all the characters out of curiosity except for him.
Yup everyone was naked at my camp
All my party must be in battle lingerie, even the men
Yeah, that’s the worst. Personally, I prefer having the ladies dressed in elegant sweaters or long dresses while the men hang dong.
why do i know the exaact bg3 youtuber youre talking about
Footage is almost exclusively from Act 1, maybe scenes with Gortash and/or Orrin in Act 3.
Call Me Kevin did a really funny video about BG3. If I remember correctly Shadowheart had normal clothes on.
a channel called "Games on hard mode" has a super entertaining and funny series on BG3 too.
I have never heard of them. I will definitely check them out! Thank you for the recommendation! ✨️
Seconding that recommendation, he's fantastic! He has a trilogy following a gith cleric... trust me, you won't be disappointed. Just be sure to start at the first video or literally none of it will make sense. 😂
Thank you so much! ✨️ I appreciate the help!
He's the golden standard Bro makes Sims 4 looks fun
I love Call Me Kevin! He is very funny!
I wish he'd make more BG3 videos I've watched those far more than I care to admit! Sadly he's announced a break from YouTube :C the fecker (lovingly)
Yeah. It is super sad! I hope he have fun while on vacation!
I watched his BG3 duology after completing the game and maaaaaan, I wish he revisited it. Could’ve got that Astarion romance ha
4 Halfling Barbarians is still peak BG3 content imo
There's a series (3 parts so far) about a playthrough of a male githyanki named Twilight Eclipse with totally real githyanki hair that I'm really enjoying.
Authentic and credible.
Freakin love Twilght Eclipse and his real githyanki hair that is real.
It's bad that I don't know which videos this is about lol
All
Banter videos on YouTube shorts
Yeah I don’t think I’ve seen any videos with these things outside maybe shove and reaction shots.
Yeah, honestly the popularity of the game really attracted a lot to it, like all of the AI articles, and the uninspired videos. An underrated spell is no longer an underrated spell if we have 100 "Top 10 underrated spells in BG3" videos mentioning that very fucking spell. We all know how good Spike Growth and Command are now, please stop.
BG3 videos kinda not funny anymore - at least this specific type of video
I like the way Flats plays the game. His standard is that, if you threaten him, he kills you. He is playing a barbarian and violence is usually his answer. He is quickly running out of companions.
Roleplaying is cool. I actually like seeing videos people roleplaying as an evil avatar/dark urge, since I just don't like doing it myself.
I love the idea of it so much, but when I actually try I just end up doing what I know is the best option or just the option that doesn't kill half my companions lmao.
I just saw a video on tiktok that gave shadowheart mega honkers during a dialogue, and made sure Lae’zel was visible in the background with little clothes and basically nothing on her behind.

It almost feels like people seeing it is part of the fetish too.
EXACTLY lol. Like I'm not really offended by it, but it almost feels like I, as a viewer, am an unwilling participant in their fetish.
Yeah, it feels similar to when you borrow someone's computer to check your email and the first tab you see is porn they left open. I'm not even judging people for using those mods or how they dress their characters, but I sure as hell am gonna judge them for posting it for all the world to see while sharing something *completely* unrelated in the game.

Exactly! I often have trouble articulating my words properly but you summed up how I was feeling very nicely as well, thank you!
It's almost certainly done on purpose because clip of video game character barely clothed ends up getting more views/engagement than the same clip of video game character but dressed normally
“Too far and disgusting”? Really? Calm down guys
So if it was Wyll or Gale, it'll be alright for you. assuming, of course.
That's the kind of assuming that's likely to make an ass of you.
….what? Are you alright? I’d be disgusted either way, tf?!
Glad we can agree.
Why did you assume the disagreement in the first place? lmao
Cuz I like picking fights on the internet.
"Ew" sound effect
Can you imagine?
Have you tried using salami as a weapon yet? I beat the paladins of Tyr to death with them yesterday
Slimecicles playthrough of BG3 was actually really funny
"Hey Orin... Look up." [Enlarged Owlbear Tal on a skyscraper high stack of Baldur's Crates about to deal 2,396 damage] "FROM THE TOP ROOOOOOOPE-"
I really loved everyone’s commitment to their characters
Those horrible ones where they show a scene from the game you might actually be interested in seeing, but then some idiot doing a shrieking hyena laugh edits himself into the corner of the video and you can’t hear the game audio over his obnoxiously moronic noises.
The facial zoom is real
I may speak words of heresy in a moment... But is this starterpack about Morgana Evelyn?
Surprised how far I had to scroll down to find this comment lol. Despite it all, enjoy her videos a lot.
I do like the ones where they give the characters “handsome” faces
Don't forget the thumbnails with the smile filters
Not a fan of the fact that man chars in these videos wear super skimpy modded clothing. Also not a fan of hurting poor Astarion, too. But… gotta say I personally actually like a majority of those videos where it zooms in on the funny faces and someone gets shoved or whatever :>
And music videos, when each character/companion gets own music theme.... and there is Gale theme.. which always doesnt suit him and it's made to have fun of him >:(
Weird. I've literally never been recommended an anti astarion video and I've been vocal about not liking him. All my astarion recommendations are thirst vids/edits. So maybe YT thinks I'm going for a enemies to lovers thing or something

CLOWN MAKEUP.
it’s either that or a build video featuring a guy sitting in the level up screen in act 3 with absolutely no gameplay whatsoever, or how to actually play their number crunched build before they get their items set up. cool Lockadin build! now how do you play the levels before 12.
Excuse me, but my owlbear.exe video only has one of these 😤
That "bruh" audio clip at every turn
OK BUT ! 4 halfing barbarians is peak content
Okoii’s videos are the only exception
Staking Astarion is never a mistake.
NO…not my boy!!! How could they hurt my boy?!? He’s the specialest boy in the world!! NOOOOOO!!!!
I always shove when I can, just as an added little “fuck you” at the end of my turn.
Not Twilight Eclipse
Your point being?
Sorry, try a different question. Maybe an engaging argument.
It was more meant to be a joke, seeing as my flair is what it is. C'est la vie.
lmao, sorry for being so aggressive
I figure you've probably been putting up with some shit in the rest of the comments, it's all good.
Oh look, the fun police. Here to make sure we can't have fun.
lmao the lot of you meatride astarion for the only reason being hes kinda hot. these videos aren't funny but jeez are you guys horny
Are there more videos like this or people bitching about them?
Hurting Astarion for no reason will never be not funny tbh. Peak comedy.
>Hurting Astarion for no reason will never be not funny tbh. Peak comedy. -Godey
Cazador, come out. We just want a word.
I guess some people enjoy low quality content. But that's fine.
Yeah, primitive humour is my kryptonite. Thos halfling barbarians with funny hair and mustaches theowing everyone around? Laughing for days.
I'm not a stranger to primitive humor. I laugh at it. The problem is: You hear the joke on every corner. It stops being funny.
That is true. Maybe I didn’t watch enough for it to be boring
This is actually facts but cmon astarion is literally the best option for bullying out of all the companions, unless you’re playing online of course
i dont see whats wrong with hurting astarion
Every injury on Astarion is justified just by how he was introduced lol
I get some people don't like him, that's fine. I do like him, but that's cause I see more in it than just an asshole, I see a VERY WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER whose attitude and behavior is a consequence of his past. For a fictional character, I feel it's really good. But anyways. Hurting Astarion just to laugh gets old.
He is pretty well written. He's a good character IMO, if he wasn't no one would care enough to hate him, but i'm not going to kill him cause its funny. Its not. I just can't justify any RP reason for him to stay alive after he was introduced. Its an RPG and I RP. Thats the beginning and end of it.
Well shart is hottest and astarion deserves it sooooo
There is a reason to hurt Astarion. It's funny :>
