I think we all have really chaotic first playthrough in bg3 so here I'm going to share mine because I did few very stupid things and it's funny

Act 1

So to start things off I forgot to rescue Lea'zel and only added her to the party when I got to Mountain Pass.

When I talked to Zevlor about the situation at the Grove I was so used to playing genshin impact that I didn't care about the dialogue options so I accidentally started a fight with him.

After recruiting Wyll (I was in the middle of defeating goblin leaders when I decided that I want to swap out Gale so I recruited Wyll) I decided to look around the top of the entrance to the Grove. I accidentally opened a crate and began a fight with two tieflings that I killed (until my third playthrough I had not idea how to activate non-lethal attacks) after defeating the goblin leaders I couldn't enter the Grove because those two NPC's that were responsible for opening the gate were dead.

After a reload I was bored so I decided to go to Mountain Pass (and accidentally progressed tieflings quest) and when I got back to Blighted Village I was like "oh sick there's so much loot here!" After few seconds I realized that those were the tieflings from the Grove.

My party was eating tadpoles like crazy.

It took me like 6 hours to get tiefling party because I didn't want to do Kagha quest so I stole the idol, killed druids near it and I was good to go. (I think they fixed it in one of the early patches so that now tieflings are fighting druids once you steal the idol.)

I didn't recruit Karlach at all. I went to her when I had a full party and she didn't went to camp so I just thought "oh you're probably recruiting her later because I saw something about Karlach in Act 3 so it must be it." No, it wasn't it.

I refused to give Gale magic item three times so he left my party.

Act 2

In Last Night Inn I sided with Marcus because I thought I could betray him during the fight either way I had the refugees and Isobel outnumbered and until my third playthrough I didn't know you could save Isobel.

I didn't know how to get to the crèche so I ignored it.

I convinced Shadowheart to spare the Nightsong because I just wanted her to have white hair.

Battle in Moonrise Towers took me like two days to complete because I left Harper's to die but I only had Jaheira to help me and I used her as a human shield and later I found out I actually lost two people that I could recruit to the party. It took me two days because it was too hard with so little people even on Explorer mode and the funny part is that literally another two days later was next patch that increased hp on Explorer mode (it was like +50% I think)

I forgot to do Halsin's quest and I left him in Act 2 (but I doubt it would be even possible to do since I killed the Harpers.)

Act 3

I skipped obtaining Lower City pass by going to prison and I obtained it like few days before finishing the game.

In my camp I only had Shadowheart, Astarion, Wyll and Lea'zel who later got kidnapped.

I think it took me like two or three times of Astarion exploding before I googled how to stop Cazador from Ascending.

Speaking of my camp I don't know why but in Act 3 Scratch and Owlbear cub bugged and they weren't moving and Owlbear cub couldn't be petted. Idk if this bug is still happening but I didn't had that in my other playthroughs.

I thought you could multi class after level 12.

In the last battle I forgot to read the description of the most important attack that destroys the crown and it takes one round to charge it but I decided to begin charging it in the last round.

#first playthroughs are the best lol #i started mine at 1am so i think that was a bit of foreshadowing of how weird it will be #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg iii #baldur's gate iii
