I’ve been wanting to dive into Baldur’s Gate 3, but without a decent PC and funds for the game, my only choice is to watch some YouTube Let’s Plays. I’m on the hunt for YouTubers who do blind playthroughs, so I can experience the story without any spoilers. Ideally, I’d prefer creators who focus more on the gameplay and story rather than streaming chats, since I find they can spoil moments or miss important details while interacting with viewers. Any recommendations?

Slimecicle made a hilarious BG3 video a while back that combines great characterization with some animated bits—definitely one of the highlights! It’s good fun if you’re looking for some laughs too.
MFPallytime did a great blind playthrough as well. I really liked his honor mode run for the absolute! He’s had tons of fun moments in his videos too.
If you’re into more analytical play, I really enjoy Welonz and Joe Greene. They’re good at exploration and piecing together clues, and they keep the commentary focused on the gameplay rather than chatting with a live audience.
Welonz is okay, but sometimes her decisions can be really puzzling. You’ll definitely find yourself shouting at the screen when she misses options!
Check out Mapocolops; he had a great series. His blind playthrough was pretty close to 100%, and it covers a lot of ground if you want a thorough watch.
You should definitely check out Neil Newbon! He plays Astarion and brings a ton of DnD knowledge to the table. He and his friend Tom do some pretty funny stuff while still respecting the storyline. Heads up, Neil hasn’t quite finished the game yet, but he’s really close!
Agreed! Neil and Tom have great chemistry. Sometimes the chat interaction can get a bit much, but they manage to keep it from interfering too much.
Yeah, I love MFPallytime! His energy is contagious, and it’s always exciting to catch his first impressions.
