Sure, why not, here's a guy beating Baldur's Gate 3 without a race or class at all

We're well into the "absolutely absurd challenge runs" phase of Baldur's Gate 3's life as a popular videogame, and this one is, well, minimal. In its own way. YouTuber Bouch wanted to know if you can beat Baldur's Gate 3 without a race or class, which is to say: Armed with nothing but an intricate, deep knowledge of Baldur's Gate 3's plot, structure, and game world.

How do you do that? Well, it starts with the magic of modding. You mod in a race that's just, you know, nothing. No bonuses for being an elf or a dwarf or whatever. Then you mod in a class that's just... also nothing. No magic spells. No barbarian rage. No especially stabby sword thrusts, because the sad no-class can't even use weapon special attacks. That leaves you with very, very little to see your very normal self to victory over world-shaking evils: Mostly just exploitable tools and innate spells of magic items you find around the game world.
