So is he about midway through the game now? Does that mean we have 90+ hours to go until completion or 180+ hours because he finds some way to slow the gameplay down even further?

he is about 70-80% through. if he wanted he could technically beat the game in the next 2-3 streams. he won't. but if we wanted to bee line shit here's what he has to do.
destroy steel foundry -> kill gortash -> find orins fuck hole -> kill orin -> giant final battle war section -> final boss -> credits.
this is presuming he skips a shit ton of content like Cazador and a lot of other things, but theoretically, he could do that.

forgot he was streaming today so i missed a bit. will post if anything happens, but I'm reading venom for work rn
end of stream. this stream really sucked.
"chat is incredibly quiet today, I don't know why you guys are so quiet"
it's because you have very few fans, phil.
phil thinks goldgrind is orion, for some reason. he's not.
"WHAT? HOW COULD THAT BE CONSIDERED A SNEAK ATTACK? I WAS STARING AT HIM? that was INCREDIBLY stupid"
he hit you with a paralysis potion, which stunned you, which gave him advantage. sneak attack =/= stealth, it's advantage. kinda shocking you don't know this after 100 hours in the game, but ok.
"MISS? how did it MISS? it doesn't even make any fucking sense."
"there's TWO behind me? they were not there. this is bullshit. they literally appeared out of thin air"
actually phil, you literally spoke to one of those npcs you now claim spawned behind you. you literally spoke to him.
he's stress sighing and looking at chat.
"a sanctuary spell would help? well, I don't have that."
phil is frustrated because he can't use his AoE magic or he'll hit the hostages. this is why I made Gale an evocation wizard, but that's just me.
"all of these are too risky because they're all giant area of effects. they're going to hit the people I'm trying to save, right?"
phil is really not grasping the whole concept of darkness and line of sight.
phil is trying to clean his inventory after 100 hours of picking up everything he sees. it's not going well.
phil is confused why people can join your camp if they're not party members.
he tried to do like, 4 rolls to make a persuade check. he failed.
phil is so stupid. he's fighting cazador's spawns, he tries to kill one, and they despawn from the fight. phil is flabbergasted, gets told it's plot armor, and says it's stupid. the spawns already said Cazador needs all 7 sacrifices. if you just fucking kill the 5 people here, then Cazador is fucked?
"Vampires can turn into gaseous form? yeah but they had no health. it's bullshit."
"they're considered undead? i didn't know vampires were officially called undead."
?
beg segment because we're at 57$
phil doesn't know how to pronounce "tribunal"
he is still randomly singing out goldgrind's name despite having killed him 30 minutes ago.
i can not emphasis how much his commentary is just him randomly saying "goldgrind" now.
phil tried to pull a fast one on Sarevok and missed the roll by 1.
he now must fight Sarevork and his council.
"for some reason it didn't work. i think he's still hastened even though I cast counterspell"
phil doesn't understand how counterspell works after 100 hours. if the enemy casts a level 4 spell and you use a level 3 counterspell, you'll be ignored. the counterspell must match or exceed the spell being cast.
like six minutes spent on this one turn so far.
"magic missiles doesn't get a bonus from hunters mark? why not? i didn't know that"
read the ability. "from a weapon attack"
"SLOW took away my bonus action? FUCKING stupid."
phil doesn't know how to pronounce "indomitable"
it's in-dom-it-able phil pronounces it in-dow-mit-able
"it'll give him a negative debuff, not remove his buffs? i don't know what the hell that means, I don't know what you're talking about, explain that in English"
I mean, sounded pretty straight forward to me?
"it's a doppelganger, oh shit. it's been a doppelganger all along. the investigator in town."
uh, no? the investigator has been captured and is about to be murdered. what the fuck?
phil doesn't recognize Aradin.
"am I supposed to remember this guy? because I don't remember him."
phil told Aradin where Aylin is and phil is fucking surprised that Aradin is now going to recruit people to attack Aylin. "uhhh, I didn't know that was going to happen. i don't want him to go attack her. i didn't know that would happen. that's bullshit."
phil meets mercenary who wants to capture Aylin. phil tells mercenary where Aylin is. phil is fucking surprised when mercenary intends to attack Aylin.
"let's go to camp and basically if this whole thing is screwed up let's reload, but hopefully it's not, I hope nightsong's not pissy about this."
literally shocking how low IQ he is.
"WHY DID IT SELECT HER?"
because you walked up to Isobel and talked to her.
it's because you have very few fans, phil.

he won't rush the game because its the only thing that gets him $100 consistently. he'll play it slow enough to draw it out till something comes out that'll save the business, shelve it, and bring it back immediately after said new game fails to get adequate "support".

You know what. Fair is fair, I also hate that thats how that works. Been whinging about that since 5e. You know how you give someone a bonus for hitting a paralyzed foe? With advantage!
Never mind that Phil would take advantage of it if he ever could. I just like bitching about it.

someone told phil to be quiet because the books are sensitive. phil decides to test this by yelling, this caused every book to explode. phil wasn't happy with this.

phil didn't read lorrokans buffs and is shocked that Astarion got one shot.
"how did that happen? i don't even understand, I'm really confused, but how the hell? ok."
basically lorro reflects damage or some shit.

it's a fire elemental, you fucking retard.

you LITERALLY just read on the spell that it targets enemies, yet for some reason you needed chat to tell you it only targets enemies.
huge comic book fan phil doesn't have anything to say about Dame Aylin hitting Lorrokan with the Bane special.
it doesn't look like Phil can see the damage numbers, because he threw a weapon at an enemy, it did 0 damage, and he had to mouse over to check the HP before he realized it did no damage.
phil is in the magical vault and is saving before opening every single door.

Has Phil ever enjoyed a non JRPG,RPG game? (excluding Bethesda games). He seems to hate open ended options to story/combat. Most JRPGs its story to new area to grind/do main quest+ with map markers optional side quest but could be skipped. Repeated 4 or more times till last battle. In my 10 years of detracting none come to mind.

phil admits he was looking things up off stream.
phil completely misremembers the Hag storyline, thinking Meriyana wanted to sacrifice her unborn child to revive her husband. That is not what happened, Mariyana was under the impression the hag would simply take the child and raise it as her own.
phil spends 8 minutes trying to figure out how to break a curse before realizing he has a spell called Remove Curse.
"the stupid movement system pisses me off in this game"
it's point and click, retard?
after 120 hours he's raging out over not understanding how movement works.
"what are they talking about? you tell me, right? look, I can't do anything, I CAN'T MOVE, it says I have no movement, it doesn't make any sense at all, what the fuck, dude. it doesn't make any sense, it's just FUCKED up for no good reason."
phil doesn't remember what he did with Auntie Ethel.
"we have an alchemy menu in the game?"
"you can't treat this like other games where you just casually play it from time to time, you've gotta play the shit out of it."
"lot of security here"
it's a bank vault?
phil gets asked what his favorite act is and gives a non-commital answer.
phil is having to get into a bank vault and he's not having a great time.
"I've literally hit every combination and it didn't work"
swear to GOD phil just said "it's butt followers of bhaal" because of him sluring his words.
"I can't see the enemy so I don't even know where to go to begin"
phil is attempting to grasp the concept of an "assassin"
"OH, the ghouls AUTO CONTROL? i don't even control them? that's COOL"
I remember when the Dance Macabre spell let you directly control the ghouls. i was pissed when they nerfed the spell and took direct control away. but since phil strives to have games play themselves, he thinks this is awesome.
"wait, what just happened? that didn't work at all? it FUCKED UP, I said enraged throw and she WALKED UP which makes no fucking sense! it glitched! the game fucked up, completely stupid"
phil is 120 hours into the game and still doesn't understand how line of sight works, he ordered karlach to throw on a target with a pillar between them, so karlach walked into line of sight, which was shown by the UI before phil confirmed the order.

hello children. i haven't been keeping up on his streams lately, but something caught my attention now. it's 2am, so I will be watching his fight with Cazador and I will comment along the way.
alright, it's 3am now and I'm tired of this inventory management simulator. if I can catch his stream tomorrow I will. he was so upset by this he put in the daily wrap that Baldur's Gate robbed him.
phil has arrived at Cazador's inner sanctum.
phil sees cazador's sacrifices and his first thought is "can I kill them?" as opposed to, y'know, freeing them.
"oh great, he made astarion one of the sacrifices"
I mean, yes. that's kind of been the entire plot? not sure if phil is just struggling to find something to say or if he's just a retard.
phil tried to counterspell Cazador and failed, because he still doesn't really understand how counterspell works.
cazador turned into red mist and floated away, phil has COMPLETELY lost sight of him and thinks he's hiding in a coffin.
"it's definitely a gimmick fight because there's so much to do and I don't know what's going on. i don't really know what to do"
he then starts mad dogging chat. it's a very straight forward fight, Cazador is an evil wizard, kill him.
phil says he regrets he only has 1 level 6 spell slot.
Shadowheart has no action because she's nauseous from poison.
"fuck this nonsense what. a stupid fucking game, and I mean it too, "ohhhh there's a new thing now, there's a stinky cloud so you lose your whole turn." well how about you kiss my ass? FUCKING IDIOTS, GOD this SUCKS. I'm supposed to just MAGICALLY know that this costs my whole turn? if i'd just magically known? now I can't do it and now she's going to die. I'll just cast sanctuary on myself since it's all I can do. this is dumb."
phil is displeased.
"remember, if he absorbs 3 he ascends"
that's not what the tooltip said, the tooltip said he'll ascend in 3 turns, not if he absorbs 3 sacrifices. phil, if he could ascend after absorbing 3 sacrifices, why did he gather 7? like fuck me, mate.
phil thinks making people prone makes them lose their turn. which is uh, not true? being prone just puts you at a disadvantage, certain attacks work on you, you spend movement standing up, but you don't lose your turn. (source: I play a monk who spends all day knocking people prone, they sure as fuck don't lose their turn)
chat has just reminded phil he needs to fucking save Astarion and phil says no, it's impossible, he can't.
"there's nothing I can do guys, sorry, that's how they made the game. there's nothing I can do about this."
phil walked into a sacrifice chamber, fully knowing Cazador was going to sacrifice someone, and had no plan of attack or anything to deal with this.
"great, he's nauseous so he has no turn now. so what am I supposed to do with no turn, exactly?"
"there's no way to save Estarion(?) dude, there's no way."
"I don't even know how to free station, how would you free him? i don't understand"
mousing over Astarion shows a giant "HELP" icon over the x button.
phils chat reminded him he has a fucking teleport ability, so he teleported over to Astarion and saved him.
"there we go, we did it. good shit."
"what action is jump?"
he's been playing this game for 120 hours.
"we killed all the enemies and the stinky cloud is STILL here?"
phil wants to cast daylight on Cazador, but because he can't read, he selects the "Enchant Item" variant, he assumes he can't cast daylight on Cazador because he's in mist form, untrue, he can't cast it because he's trying to enchant Cazador's fucking item.
phil thinks a spell called "sunbeam" isn't going to be worthwhile to cast on a fucking vampire.
"my wife just arrived home, so I need to get jasper kitty out of here."
phil then had to explain to youtube audiences how pause works. fucking moron, just pause it and come back, why are you addressing it? who cares?
"what happened? uhhhhhhh.....is he in the coffin now? maybe?" phil is mad dogging chat and now saving mid fight.
Astarion is confronting Cazador.
Astarion wants to complete the ritual, phil doubts Astarion's ability.
"I don't know. he might fuck this up, do we believe him?"
Astarion is begging phil to help with this ritual.
"it's a critical decision, this sucks because he's a party member I NEED, but I don't think I can let him become the vampire lord. if I say no, I doubt we can convince him otherwise, so it may be uh, a chance where he's going to leave us I feel. what're you going to do?"
"people are like, oh you're going to release vampires into baldur's gate. it doesn't matter. we're never going to see that. it doesn't affect the end of the game. problem is we're trading one vampire lord for another. I'm going to say no."
phil is refusing to help Astarion. Astarion is literally begging for phils help. phil said no.
Astarion has brutally murdered Cazador, phils comment on this is "yikes!"
one of the vampire sacrifices has her tits out because they need to be shirtless, phil is upset over this. "haha, it's so stupid."
"wow, what an asshole. what a serious asshole."
Astarion has permanently left Phil's party.
"that's it. i guess we're never going to use it again. it sucks, I'm gonna have to find a replacement. what can you do? I'm not going to have him become a vampire lord, I made the right decision there."
"he is the most evil of your party members, right? he's pretty dang evil. the way he thinks"
phil has such a fucking simple minded view of things. Astarion is a pretty complex character. He's not just "evil." he is a trauma victim. he was essentially raped for like 500 years. Astarion comments that he stopped praying to Gods because no matter what he tried, none of them answered him. He's a trauma victim who went through hundreds of years of trauma and he's a little fucked up. It's a little more complicated than just "oh, he's evil."
"I wasn't planning on losing Astarion and it sucks because he really is one of my MVP characters, but now we're fucked. we gotta get somebody else, right? we have to."
"I made my choice and I told you guys im sticking with my choices. im not going to undo that, I'm not."
the next 20 minutes of this vid is phil respecccing jaehira or some shit. I'm not watching this.
phil has decided to try and save Minsc.
phil is crying that the game "expects" too much from the player.
"what's the point of action surge if you use an action to gain an action, right?"
fuck me. jesus fucking christ.
someone in chat tells phil to use a spell called symbiotic entity, which he LITERALLY JUST LOOKED AT 35 SECONDS AGO, he now INSISTS he doesn't have it and is confused over what they mean.
i have never seen phil use Hold Person a single time in any gameplay I've seen, despite it being one of the strongest spells in the game. for example, right now, he's trying to knock out Minsc, wouldn't it be a good idea to, oh, I don't know, restrain him with magic so you can take him out quickly? oh nevermind, phil is spamming magic missiles on him.
phil thinks Minsc is just a fat retard and not y'know, the fact they're up against a mindflayer cult who have MIND CONTROL powers.
phil just now realized Astarion leaving seemingly means he took his equipment with him.
"how is that fair? he took the crossbows, he took the armor, he took everything. my playthrough is fucked, he took everything. what the FUCK dude."
"this makes no sense, at all. they completely screwed my game up. what a great game, game of the year, if someone leaves your party they completely fuck everything up for you. thanks a lot."
"this is terrible. i can't believe the game screwed me like this."
you're the one who told Astarion to go fuck himself? like, what are you talking about?
"they fucked the game up. that's a really horrible glitch, if someone leaves your party they can just leave with all the epic gear? what a bunch of fucking assholes. I spent 120 hours on your fucking game and you stole my inventory because you don't know how to code your fucking game? that seriously pisses me off. you guys are assholes. this is TRASH."
man seriously expected Astarion to just strip down naked before he left the party. what a fuckin' fat retard.
what in the fuck is he doing btw? he has Minsc as a Ranger/Rogue multiclass, with a two handed sword and heavy armor, what the fuck is happening?
"I made him a ranged build and I have no good ranged items to give him so all of his ranged attacks are awful. great, fucking great."
why did you do that tho.
"how the fuck did they not realize this is how the game works? I'm really at a loss that they did not know that."
"he took everything he was wearing. it's FUCKED UP. he literally took every useful piece of equipment I had for him. of course this has to happen to me, right? where I get completely fucked over by a game I put 120 hours into. this is so dumb, how do I sort? i want to sort the weapons....how do I do that?"
phil sees cazador's sacrifices and his first thought is "can I kill them?" as opposed to, y'know, freeing them.
"oh great, he made astarion one of the sacrifices"
I mean, yes. that's kind of been the entire plot? not sure if phil is just struggling to find something to say or if he's just a retard.
phil tried to counterspell Cazador and failed, because he still doesn't really understand how counterspell works.
cazador turned into red mist and floated away, phil has COMPLETELY lost sight of him and thinks he's hiding in a coffin.
"it's definitely a gimmick fight because there's so much to do and I don't know what's going on. i don't really know what to do"
he then starts mad dogging chat. it's a very straight forward fight, Cazador is an evil wizard, kill him.
phil says he regrets he only has 1 level 6 spell slot.
Shadowheart has no action because she's nauseous from poison.
"fuck this nonsense what. a stupid fucking game, and I mean it too, "ohhhh there's a new thing now, there's a stinky cloud so you lose your whole turn." well how about you kiss my ass? FUCKING IDIOTS, GOD this SUCKS. I'm supposed to just MAGICALLY know that this costs my whole turn? if i'd just magically known? now I can't do it and now she's going to die. I'll just cast sanctuary on myself since it's all I can do. this is dumb."
phil is displeased.
"remember, if he absorbs 3 he ascends"
that's not what the tooltip said, the tooltip said he'll ascend in 3 turns, not if he absorbs 3 sacrifices. phil, if he could ascend after absorbing 3 sacrifices, why did he gather 7? like fuck me, mate.
phil thinks making people prone makes them lose their turn. which is uh, not true? being prone just puts you at a disadvantage, certain attacks work on you, you spend movement standing up, but you don't lose your turn. (source: I play a monk who spends all day knocking people prone, they sure as fuck don't lose their turn)
chat has just reminded phil he needs to fucking save Astarion and phil says no, it's impossible, he can't.
"there's nothing I can do guys, sorry, that's how they made the game. there's nothing I can do about this."
phil walked into a sacrifice chamber, fully knowing Cazador was going to sacrifice someone, and had no plan of attack or anything to deal with this.
"great, he's nauseous so he has no turn now. so what am I supposed to do with no turn, exactly?"
"there's no way to save Estarion(?) dude, there's no way."
"I don't even know how to free station, how would you free him? i don't understand"
mousing over Astarion shows a giant "HELP" icon over the x button.
phils chat reminded him he has a fucking teleport ability, so he teleported over to Astarion and saved him.
"there we go, we did it. good shit."
"what action is jump?"
he's been playing this game for 120 hours.
"we killed all the enemies and the stinky cloud is STILL here?"
phil wants to cast daylight on Cazador, but because he can't read, he selects the "Enchant Item" variant, he assumes he can't cast daylight on Cazador because he's in mist form, untrue, he can't cast it because he's trying to enchant Cazador's fucking item.
phil thinks a spell called "sunbeam" isn't going to be worthwhile to cast on a fucking vampire.
"my wife just arrived home, so I need to get jasper kitty out of here."
phil then had to explain to youtube audiences how pause works. fucking moron, just pause it and come back, why are you addressing it? who cares?
"what happened? uhhhhhhh.....is he in the coffin now? maybe?" phil is mad dogging chat and now saving mid fight.
Astarion is confronting Cazador.
Astarion wants to complete the ritual, phil doubts Astarion's ability.
"I don't know. he might fuck this up, do we believe him?"
Astarion is begging phil to help with this ritual.
"it's a critical decision, this sucks because he's a party member I NEED, but I don't think I can let him become the vampire lord. if I say no, I doubt we can convince him otherwise, so it may be uh, a chance where he's going to leave us I feel. what're you going to do?"
"people are like, oh you're going to release vampires into baldur's gate. it doesn't matter. we're never going to see that. it doesn't affect the end of the game. problem is we're trading one vampire lord for another. I'm going to say no."
phil is refusing to help Astarion. Astarion is literally begging for phils help. phil said no.
Astarion has brutally murdered Cazador, phils comment on this is "yikes!"
one of the vampire sacrifices has her tits out because they need to be shirtless, phil is upset over this. "haha, it's so stupid."
"wow, what an asshole. what a serious asshole."
Astarion has permanently left Phil's party.
"that's it. i guess we're never going to use it again. it sucks, I'm gonna have to find a replacement. what can you do? I'm not going to have him become a vampire lord, I made the right decision there."
"he is the most evil of your party members, right? he's pretty dang evil. the way he thinks"
phil has such a fucking simple minded view of things. Astarion is a pretty complex character. He's not just "evil." he is a trauma victim. he was essentially raped for like 500 years. Astarion comments that he stopped praying to Gods because no matter what he tried, none of them answered him. He's a trauma victim who went through hundreds of years of trauma and he's a little fucked up. It's a little more complicated than just "oh, he's evil."
"I wasn't planning on losing Astarion and it sucks because he really is one of my MVP characters, but now we're fucked. we gotta get somebody else, right? we have to."
"I made my choice and I told you guys im sticking with my choices. im not going to undo that, I'm not."
the next 20 minutes of this vid is phil respecccing jaehira or some shit. I'm not watching this.
phil has decided to try and save Minsc.
phil is crying that the game "expects" too much from the player.
"what's the point of action surge if you use an action to gain an action, right?"
fuck me. jesus fucking christ.
someone in chat tells phil to use a spell called symbiotic entity, which he LITERALLY JUST LOOKED AT 35 SECONDS AGO, he now INSISTS he doesn't have it and is confused over what they mean.
i have never seen phil use Hold Person a single time in any gameplay I've seen, despite it being one of the strongest spells in the game. for example, right now, he's trying to knock out Minsc, wouldn't it be a good idea to, oh, I don't know, restrain him with magic so you can take him out quickly? oh nevermind, phil is spamming magic missiles on him.
phil thinks Minsc is just a fat retard and not y'know, the fact they're up against a mindflayer cult who have MIND CONTROL powers.
phil just now realized Astarion leaving seemingly means he took his equipment with him.
"how is that fair? he took the crossbows, he took the armor, he took everything. my playthrough is fucked, he took everything. what the FUCK dude."
"this makes no sense, at all. they completely screwed my game up. what a great game, game of the year, if someone leaves your party they completely fuck everything up for you. thanks a lot."
"this is terrible. i can't believe the game screwed me like this."
you're the one who told Astarion to go fuck himself? like, what are you talking about?
"they fucked the game up. that's a really horrible glitch, if someone leaves your party they can just leave with all the epic gear? what a bunch of fucking assholes.

alright, it's 3am now and I'm tired of this inventory management simulator. if I can catch his stream tomorrow I will. he was so upset by this he put in the daily wrap that Baldur's Gate robbed him.

Can someone give me a short hint how long it took Phil to get to act 2? I hit act 2 yesterday and my gamesave stated I used 41 hours in Act 1. Is that a normal time? I really feel the game eats your time especially if you explore the areas thoroughly

He's right on that tho.
Sometimes getting knocked prone makes you lose a turn.
Most notably with ice surfaces.
You fall down and you lose your turn, it applys to both the foe and your Pcs.

For those not in the know, action surge is one of the best abilities in D&D, to the point that whenever there's a "most possible damage" conversation/thread, the build almost always includes 2 levels of fighter just to get action surge. This isn't even limited to melee builds, casters will often grab it as well. Basically, it's a free ability that 1/ a short rest you gain another action, which means another full set of attacks or casting a spell. In a turn based game, where action economy is key, you can completely trivialize fights with a well placed action surge, and if you actually know the mechanics of the game, you can easily stack it with all the consumables they throw at you to get even more extra attacks. A lot of the "one shot boss X" builds rely on it.
Might be because you're running out of movement when you fall. Unless they changed it for the game, base rules you need to use half your movement to get up from prone, so if you move 20 feet and slip, you're stuck because you only have 10 feet of movement left, assuming base movement and all that. I think BG3 is stricter about what you can do from prone, so it might just end your turn.
I've never had Astarion leave after not letting him ascend so maybe it's a special circumstance, but IIRC, any other time a companion leaves your party, they actually do drop all their gear. But it doesn't auto go into your inventory, they'll generate a backpack on the ground that has their stuff. I always thought it was a failsafe so you don't have NPCs running off with plot items and softlocking you. I think they keep their armor at the very least so the model isn't naked, but I could have sworn they dropped weapons as well.
*Edit* I remembered wrong, they keep anything they were equipped with, but drop everything else they were carrying in a bag.
Oh, also
Way to care about the narrative in an RPG. At least he was awake for it, so BG3 still has that going over Yakuza. But I'm not sure why he thinks that doesn't affect the end of the game. To give him some credit it's not like...the final battle hinges on that decision specifically, but it's still big enough to get several mentions in the epilogue. For a lot of players, it's also one of the more debated moral choices in the game. The whole "they were unwillingly turned, but now they're monsters, what do we do?" dilemma.

that's not how that works. being knocked prone on an ice surface is when you fall down on YOUR turn. it interrupts YOUR turn and you end up being knocked prone.
however, if I as a monk, or in this situation, phil, knocks an enemy down on his own turn, then on the enemies NEXT turn, despite being prone, they can stand up and continue to act.
you are equated falling down = knocked prone, which isn't exactly the case. yes, falling down will interrupt turn and results in being prone, but a monk using a knockdown and putting someone in prone does not prevent them from acting on their next turn like stun would. feel free to correct me, but I've been playing a monk and I'm pretty confident im correct.
