Hey everyone! Since I don’t currently have the funds or a good enough PC to play Baldur’s Gate 3 myself, I’ve decided to stick to watching some Let’s Plays on YouTube. I’m specifically looking for a YouTuber who does a blind playthrough and really engages with the game. I prefer watching videos from creators who don’t stream, as I find that when they’re chatting with their audience it can sometimes lead to missed important dialogues or even spoilers. Any suggestions?

I really like watching Welonz and Joe Greene; both are pretty intuitive and insightful as they play. They pretty much just engage with their viewers while exploring and figuring out the game, without the distractions of streaming.
This one might not be for your first watch, but I recently saw a guy playing with his mom and it was super sweet and funny. It’s a different vibe, you might enjoy it afterward for a laugh!
If you want a good laugh, check out Slimecicle’s BG3 video! He did some hilarious commentary along with cool animations and maintained character lore throughout his play, it was a blast!
CohhCarnage’s first run is great! He chats with his audience a lot, but his community is really good about not spoiling things for him. Plus, it’s wild to see him meet his character in-game since he voices Naaber, such a fun moment!
Devora Wilde, who voices Laezel, is hilarious to watch! She has the most expressive reactions which keeps the playthrough entertaining.
For my money, Luality is the best choice! If you’re ready to dig back to launch, she did an amazing clean run of the game. She has such a deep understanding of it and it shows!
I like the channel TheTruant! They’re not super big, so chat isn’t overwhelming, and they do full playthroughs which really gives you the complete experience.
You should definitely check out Neil Newbon, who voices Astarion! He plays D&D, so he knows his stuff and he plays with his buddy Tom. They have a lot of fun while still respecting the game’s storyline, although they haven’t fully finished the game yet, but they’re very close!
Totally agree! Neil and Tom are a hilarious duo. Their chat might occasionally be a bit cringy, but they tend to ignore it and focus on the game.
Definitely check out MFPallytime. His first playthrough was blind and really fun, especially his honor mode run—super entertaining!
Yes! I thought his playthrough was fantastic. It’s clear he enjoys the game.
Mapocolops did a fantastic series on the game and managed to get pretty close to 100% without spoiling anything for himself. Definitely worth watching!
Welonz can be a bit hit or miss, honestly. Sometimes she misses obvious solutions, and it can really test your patience when watching. But if you enjoy some chaotic fun, it’s worth a shot!
