Can you play through Baldur’s Gate 3 as cheese? Yes, you can. But should you? Quark!
The prospect of cheese knives digging into juicy, yellow bodies makes you want to scream? The sight of oozing mozzarella makes you faint? The thought of Camembert scorched by fire makes you fill your pants with mascarpone?Then you’d better read no further.
But all other cheese lovers should definitely check out YouTuber Bouch.Because he has now played through Baldur’s Gate 3 as cheese.Yes, you read that right. As K-Ä-S-E. From the hard edge to the sweet inside, so to speak.
Why did he do that? Because Bouchhas already completed Baldur’s Gate 3several times for the entertainment of his viewers, and thatwith the most absurd obstacles: without moving, for example, only in underpants (the characters, not the player) or permanently overloaded.
Now as cheese.Fetastic!
Why the cheese run was so difficult
In preparation, Bouch went among the hobby programmers: so that his character and all party members could roll through the game as a fat, plump loaf right from the start and throughout the entire game, heslightly adapted an existing modand thus caused a permanent polymorph transformation.
Bouch then faced a few difficulties: Cheese heroes get their attributes capped at ten points and lose all abilities as well as spells.Only the passive bonuses remain, which is why the YouTuber chose a profession with particularly many of them for his avatar: the monk.
The complete absurd ricotta journey (edited into 20 minutes and with funny commentary) can be admired here and is recommended for the absurd moments alone, when the music swells dramatically and the cameracaptures a few Parmesan tires in action pose
In the meantime, Bouch’s character haschanged back a few times for cutscenesand swapped his deliciously smelly cheese skin for the far more ordinary skin of a humanoid.
But like a good Gorgonzola, the YouTuber then transformed the avatar back again and again,until he finally defeated the final bossand then (presumably) made himself a cream cheese sandwich to celebrate.
