I've previously made a Baldur's Gate for Dummies video, but it was more of a joke than anything, and I thought it was time to create a more serious and in-depth guide to getting started with Baldur's Gate and what's important to know. So, I try to go into everything that's important to know, the only thing I've left out is an in-depth look at spellcasting. I think that might be its own separate video.
