The tutorial in Baldur's Gate 3 SUCKS, and so I decided to make one to help you understand the User Interface (UI) and get some significant Quality of Life enhancements for your own playthroughs. I also cover some key actions you'll want to understand that will help you succeed, some of which are NOT in D&D 5th Edition!

(I will do a second video after this one, covering all the important differences between D&D 5th Edition and Baldur's Gate 3.)
