In the current beta edition of Baldur's Gate 3, players have the option to turn off tutorial notifications, so it would be up to the player to decide whether or not they want to receive these prompts.
That's not a solution. No tutorial is bad but overbearing unnecessary tutorial is bad as well.
I am still not getting what potential value would recorded videos of those spells would bring. D&D system isn't affected by visuals - it's an abstract, diceroll based system. How a spells look is mechanically irrelevant. If you intend to force players to sit through uninteractive videos, they better have a pretty darn good reason for existing.
I appreciate your input, but I would like to respectfully disagree with your reasoning. The addition of tutorial videos for spells and abilities in Baldur's Gate 3 is not about visuals but rather how they are used in the game, and it is essential for newcomers to understand these mechanics to fully appreciate the complexity of D&D 5th edition.
While the game does already have a tutorial pane, it is limited in its explanations, and there are many terminologies used in the tooltips that are not explained in the game. The tutorial videos would provide players with a comprehensive understanding of the spells and abilities, helping them make more informed choices during character creation as well as level ups, and enable them to enjoy the game to its fullest potential.
You mentioned that the videos would be unnecessary since D&D is an abstract, dice-roll-based system. However, I would like to point out that there are already many videos explaining the rules and mechanics of the game, and if we apply your reasoning, these videos should not exist either. But they do exist, and the developers themselves have created them to help players better understand the game.
Finally, I want to reiterate that the addition of tutorial videos would not be mandatory, and players would have the option to turn off tutorial notifications if they so choose. However, for those who are unfamiliar with the system, having access to a comprehensive tutorial library would make the learning curve less steep and enable them to fully appreciate the complexity of D&D 5th edition.
Once again, thank you for your response, and I hope this clarifies my position on the matter.
