Welcome to Good Mythical More. Have you heard of Baldur’s Gate? Well, of course, so have we. And we are going to build our character. We’re gonna both be one person. And, there’s lots of options. Who are we gonna be in Baldur’s Gate? There’s so many possibilities, but first, you’ve really gotta check out the new, podcast, Trombones in the Outfield. – Yeah, I mean. – I’m loving it. Don’t worry. You’re in the infield, so you’re not, it’s not like really close up. Well, they set the microphone right around second base actually is what they did. So it’s, it’s kind of like trombones in the distance. Yeah, which is another of my favorites. But the way that, the way that it happens inside of a baseball park, is really, is really intoxicating. And then, when they get into the history of just trombones, I really lock in for that. Right. Cause you know, for the first 300 years of trombones, they didn’t. Right. They didn’t stretch. And then after that, they did. They started stretching, and they’ve been stretching for 300 years. Right, but then at a certain point after them stretching for a while like after another couple of decades They realized that they could also contract them because they got too long. Yeah, and they were originally made of the bones of troms. We’ve got better things to do than talk about this podcast though. So, let’s move on, even though I’m sure you’re already subscribing to it wherever you get your podcast. Okay, because we don’t have a whole lot of experience with games, the crew has gotten us to this point in the game. Which is, the menu where you select. Make your person. And so, you can go here and begin to randomize, and like, have a starting point. Let’s just see what comes up, cause after that, you see, cause like, race, subrace. Oh, oh. That guy has a lizard face. That guy, huh? Interesting. That person. Oh, shorter. Bigger head. Basically, let’s just, when something really connects, and you feel like it’s a representative of me and you together, we should just respond. Reminder, Rhett, because you lost the game in the main episode, you have to use outdated Gen Z slang in the More, so. Yes, queen! I do! They give you a reference card? That was one of them. Alright, so. Okay, Boomer, let’s get back to this. Silver hair, you know, I can relate. But let’s hit it again. Oh, stretching and large. Okay. This purple haired person. Why are they looking up so much? I don’t know. Squinty-eyed. Here we go. So there’s, there’s quite a height difference here. I think we’re both rather tall. Yeah, let’s not go with that. But tall plus tall equals short? Oh. – There we go. – Alright. Is this for us, or is it supposed to be us? Not a companion for us. Yeah! Yeah! Look at that, what are those teeth? Yeah, look, he’s got facial hair. Okay, this is a good starting point. Or is that herpes? I like this guy. So we don’t need to worry about all this crap, right? We need to go into here. What is that? Look at that long thing over his crotch. Like. So, what happens when you start? – Well, we are humans. – Does that make it harder to walk? Well. What? Hold on, you just went. You just, oh, so you’re changing the race. Half-Orc is where we started. Dragon Born. Gnome? That’s too scary. Oh, the gnome got small. Of course. Well that’s just a, that’s a skinny boy with your old haircut. Githyanki? What race is a Githyanki? Elffy. Tiefling? I like Tiefling a little bit. No, too stout. Whoa, very wide. I think we were in a good place with, with Half-Orc. – What is? – Cause it’s like half. Go back, go back to Githyanki for a second. Githyanki We’re southerners though, we don’t want to be a Yankee. He’s wearing. I feel like the Githyanki is. Flip flops. Basic. His arms make me uneasy. You know? They look rather brittle. Yeah, so, well, we can change the body type. Do you wanna start with Githyanki and start making? Let’s go to Half-Orc. I mean, we liked it. Let’s go with Half-Orc We can trim him down a little bit. We like this guy. He’s got a belt on his bicep. Like, I mean, who needs a belt to hold, is it holding it on? Oh, zoom in on that. He’s not the most comely looking guy. Oh, what did you just, did you just? I’m changing. So, his head. Okay. So, what head is that? He needs to see an orthodontist. I don’t like head one. It’s a, he doesn’t, it’s, it’s a little too browish. Go ahead, two, he’s not smart. Let’s go with, he’s even dumber. That’s why. That’s why. He’s sad. I like him. Oh, we can hear the voice. Where to next? Where to next. No, that’s not what he sounds like. This guy, this guy. What was that? What? Rhett, the head doesn’t change the voice. Oh, now there’s voices. Here we go. Hold on, go back to voice, go back to face six, five. There’s no six. I like. You like that guy? Yeah, I like him. What do you like about him? He’s, he doesn’t look smart, does he? We want him to look a little smart. – I feel like he’s got. – Which one looks the smartest? Now here’s the thing, he has so much jaw, it makes up for my lack of jaw. Yeah, there you go. He could be my BFF. Alright, go up to voice and then pull down. You’re on voice five. So start on voice. What? Be wary. This place is trapped. It’s opened. No. That voice doesn’t really. Those wretched things. Wretched things. No. Where to next? Where to next? No. Paul McCartney! What was that? What’s that? That’s not gonna work. It’s gotta be gruff. The locals are friendly. That, that. Let’s hope the locals are friendly. It’s, that’s better. Hills, some. Be wary. It’s opened. No. More of those wretched things. Okay. There’s magic. We need something gruffer. There’s only eight choices. Let’s hope the locals are friendly. No, yeah, that one. Hills. Okay. This place is trapped. So, he can be female? Okay. Let’s make him non-binary. Okay. All right. It doesn’t, changing the identity doesn’t change the appearance at all, which is okay. It’s an identity. That’s fine. Body, oh, body type. Body type. We can zoom out here. Yeah, zoom back out. This totally changed this, who we have. I like the belt on the bicep. I’ve kind of grown attached to it. But go, go through the other ones. That was it. There was just two body types. Okay. Skin color. Okay. I mean, we’re kind of blush tone five. Which is pretty. Oh, we can make him green. Let’s go a little green. Let’s do something interesting. Let’s go a little, oh, not, let’s go. He kinda looks sick. How about just gray? I like either bluish. Gray’s interesting. It’s bluish gray, which I like. Don’t make him white, that is so basic. Gray. Alright, either gray or green. Gray, cause he’s got green, he has green leaves on his, on his outfit. Yeah, alright. Scarring. Can I? – I’m really. – Can I do this? Let’s make him extra. Alright, so scarring. And how, how did you zoom in? Probably just scroll. So, let’s see the scarring on this puppy. Go to the, make him real scarred. He’s been through quite a bit. Oh. Look at those bottom lips. He definitely needs some moisturizer. Ooh. That’s more, that’s more bruising. Go, go, yeah, go to the lip scarring. I like the lip scarring. The maturity, make him super mature. What? Is that just, like, his essence is changing? And then we can’t see it? I think he just knows more. Freckle quality. Quantity. Oh. What’s the quality of his freckles? I like freckles, they’re cute. Very intense freckles. We’ve made him very cute. Let’s give him vitiligo. Why would we give him vitiligo? It is kinda cool, though. I do like it. Yeah. Yes! More? You like 100 percent vitiligo? No, 80. Yes! Yeah, look at that. It’s like his face is aglow. Hold on, you can give him a “pen-is”? What? That’s bussing. What? Penis. Hold on. Zoom out. Hide clothes. Look. Click on hide clothes, hide clothes. Hold on, dude. Below. Oh, vulva. What the crap? Okay, Link. Hold on. Look, look. – Hold on. – Hide clothes. I’m keeping you in suspense. Don’t touch me with your sweaty hands. You’re making us all think that you don’t know how to do this. Alright, I’m a little scared to click on this one. Why are you starting with “pen-is”? Well, that’s what it was on. Okay. What do you wanna start with? I mean, you want to start with? Yeah. Vulva B? Vulva? Penis D? Penis D. Okay, so we. Just, let’s just go, let’s just go straight Vulva. Let’s start with Vulva. All right, I’m about to hide the clothes if anybody wants to look away. Are we gonna have to blur this? Well probably, yeah. All right. Here we go. Three, two, one. Oh. Oh. You’re gonna have to zoom in. Can you zoom in and scroll down? You can’t? Oh, they, okay, all right. I think you’re gonna have to un vitiligo him for a moment. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Wow, he works out. Wow. Yeah, he’s fit. He is not, really. He’s fit. Intermittent fasting, probably. He’s lacking in certain areas. All right. All right, let’s keep it, let’s keep it 100. Shall we go with vulva two? Let’s move through these. Vulva B. Okay. It’s hard to tell what happened there. Well, he’s trimmed. He’s trimmed it. Okay. It does look like you would kind of be like. Now we’re going with the penis. Let’s go penis. Oh! That’s just, that’s just penis. Now that’s, that’s uncircumcised. Yes it is. There he is. Which you would expect from a guy that looks like he just walked out of a cave, you know. There’s nothing, I mean, listen. I mean, he doesn’t have. It’s fine. He doesn’t have. I’m not a proponent of it. I’m just saying. It’s more natural. I am a proponent of it. Of circumcision? No. It’s medically unnecessary. Of non-circumcision. Yeah, I’m a proponent of it, but once you’ve done it, it’s really hard to go back. However, there are people who have invented a contraption to uncircumcise yourself. Let’s go to the next “pen-is”. “Pen-is” B. Okay. What changed? We’re gonna have to do a little A B testing here. It’s a little longer. Well, it’s. I don’t know. Go back. Are the balls longer? What? Hold on. What happened. Oh! The balls have hair on them. Oh, yeah. It’s, he’s, yeah. Yeah. He’s manscaped. Yeah, I don’t. That’s what, that’s the difference. That feels, that doesn’t seem like him. It gives the appearance of more vitality. Yeah, exactly. Alright, we’re going with penis C. Well, that one is circumcised. And then penis D is a manscaped circumcised. You can’t really change the size of the penis. Yeah, and now I’m gonna take the. You can just change things about the penis. Take the vitiligo. Now the vitiligo doesn’t actually go on the penis. Yeah. Which I was just curious if it would. Okay, so we spent a lot of time there. And let’s, let’s, let’s put clothes back on. There we go. Thank you for that. There we go. Sorry, sir. You are us. Oh, body art? Eyes! Makeup? Oh, man. Look at that. Look at what we can do. So what do you do once you’ve made these decisions? Like, what happens in this game? I don’t know why. Hi, it’s Meghan. Hi, Meghan. I’m a Baldur’s Gate 3 player. What was the question? So, this is just a role playing game? Yeah. It’s, adventuring, it’s romance. Yeah, you go all over. It’s, it’s from, an actual, like the Dungeons and Dragons map, so you’re playing in the actual world. And is it like open world? What, multiplayer? Like are you interacting with other people? It’s not like online players. You can play with your friends, but it’s not like World of Warcraft or anything where you can jump online. You can play just by yourself? Yeah, exactly. I play by myself. And what does your character look like? She is an, a Tiefling druid. So I think you’re currently on the druid, clothing. And a Tiefling is like a, like a horned devil. How much time did you spend on the genitals? A long time. Okay. I had, but. Wait, can you do something with the genitals in the game? Like, what do you mean? Like, can you, can you, can you utilize them for pleasure or procreation? You can have sex in the game. It does cut away so you don’t get to actually, you know, go full out there, but, yeah. Cuts away. And there’s like, there’s polyamorous options. You can have multiple lovers. It’s a, it’s a game for the girlies, really. I’m shook. When you, when you have relations with somebody, how does that impact gameplay? You usually can only have relationships with people in your party, so it’s kind of just like a side plot of you and that character. But if you cheat on a character, they might leave you. Oh, really? Now, okay. Now we’re getting somewhere. Now we’re getting ahead. You can also have sex with a bear in it. With a bear? Yeah. There’s one character who turns into a bear and you can have sex with him. Okay, that’s dangerous. Okay. Now, that’s a little emo. Yeah, it doesn’t really fit him, I don’t think. Oh, the side shave? He doesn’t seem like somebody who would style. That’s a little, yeah, this is. We need like the most uncared for, like, hair has not been a thought in this guy’s head for the past 12 months. Yeah. Being coiffed doesn’t really do it. We got, you gotta go down, we have a whole, we gotta scroll down to some, like, here we go, some matted stuff. Here we go. No. Nah. Kinda? No. He’s got, like, red highlights in it. That’s still too much effort. Oh! Okay. Hey, girl! You’ve, you’ve done something to your hair, have you not? Keep scrolling down. Oh, there’s a lot of these. Oh, that’s cute. That’s cute, girl. I mean, what color do we want his hair to be? I kinda like that. He’s not happy about what we’re doing. Zoom out and see how he looks. My character has. That’s your hair? On your character? Yeah. Well, okay. Well, in honor of Meghan, we’re gonna stick with that. Really? We can make him blonde. Green. I, you know, I think he’s unexpected. I think you wouldn’t think that he would spend this much time on himself, but he does. Self care is a big part of his routine. That really accentuates his ears. I like that. Don’t you like that one? Is it this one? Go to the left and down one. Right there. Yes. There you go, son. Hair, what hair? He could get a little, oh! Okay. Look at him. Oh, something just, a fairy just flew in his perm. So, how many, like, how long is a typical session of this? Like, not making your character, but just sitting down to play it? Like, the whole game, or like, one night? Like, how much time will you spend, if you sit down to play it, in like, one session, but then also, how long does it take to beat, is there, do you, can you beat it, or is it just like, multiple different missions? You can definitely beat the game, there’s a million different endings you can have, I’ll sit down and be like, okay, Meghan, only one hour. And then it’s like five to six hours later. Okay. That’s why I don’t do this, Meghan. There’s three acts. I’m like a hundred or so hours in. And I’m just starting act three. Oh my goodness. You can go for a big beard, buddy. Oh my goodness. That’s nice. He’s starting to look like an ice cream cone. Blue beard. I mean, he’s gotten a lot friendlier. Yeah! I think if you click and hold, you can actually turn him around if you want to see his back. Oh, there it is. Oh, we could’ve, we could’ve taken his clothes off and. Yep. I know. Meghan, I know what you want to see. Oh, crap. We can see if he’s got a fatty. See if he’s got a fatty? Yeah. What? What is that? Okay, so. It says it’s a butt. So, you want to go back here. If there’s one thing I remember, it’s how to take his clothes off. There we go. He’s too mature. We got to take his maturity down. His back, it doesn’t change anything. His back didn’t get more mature. The maturity thing is not really impacting. Okay. He’s got crow’s feet on his lower back. If you change his, if you change his penis while you’re, while you’re looking at the backside, nothing happens, I’m assuming. Do you see a little peek of it? I mean, let’s just see, let’s just see. We should find out. There’s only one way to find out. No one’s ever done this. All right, I’m gonna hide his clothes and change his penis from the backside. Oh yeah, you’ll, it’ll change, look. No. What if the expression on that bird’s face changed? Ooh, yeah. He is just ready to pounce. Look at him. Alright, so he’s gotten a lot more friendly with the beard and the hair. So I’m feeling good about that. Unless you wanted to go with like more of a. Three Musketeers? Yeah. So we’re liking that. We’re liking that. Okay. Is there anything else? That we want here. That doesn’t, oh! He just became a sorcerer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is, it’s giving a different, different vibe. Make that guy a wizard. Make him a wizard. Oh, what is that? That’s cool. What is your class? Let’s make him a musician. My class is Druid. Druid. Barbarian. Matt just said I’m Dru-ish. Fighter. Rogue. I don’t think he’s a Rogue. I think. He’s a Paladin. He’s a Monk. Make him a Monk. He’s a spiritual man. In the game it lets you talk to animals. So, that’s why I chose that class. Oh, that’s cool. A Paladin? Wait, which one do we like? I think we like Warlock. No. Which one do we like for this guy? He’s kind of barbaric. Barbarian. I think that works. There you have it. And now we’re gonna go on a hundred hour quest. To see which bears we can have relations with. Yeah. That’ll be, that’ll get me in my feels. Wait, you gotta name him. Oh, we gotta name him. Tony. Tony the Barbarian.
