Baldur's Gate 3 genius uses 7 D&D classes packed into one of the weirdest RPG builds I've ever seen to deal "infinite damage to 99.9% of enemies" just by walking around them

I've seen the Baldur's Gate 3 pacifist run, and while this is not exactly that, it's pretty close. One player has completed the entire RPG - on Honor Mode, no less - via no greater means than simply walking at their opponents.
We're at the point in the Baldur's Gate 3 community's life where challenge runs are starting to get pretty serious, and in their latest effort, YouTuber Fracture concocted a build that allowed them to literally run the whole game without making any direct attacks or spells against their enemies. Instead, they used a build that would allow them to use their movement speed as their greatest offensive resource.
As with any of these runs, things start slowly. Fracture isn't able to attack anything on the Nautiloid, so having started out as a Half-Elf Wizard, they sprint through the ship and end up on the beach. Disguising themselves as a Drow, they talk their way through any Goblin encounters to get some of the XP they've missed out on by skipping combat, picking up some boosts to movement speed along the way, like the Haste Helm and Crusher's Ring.
At level 2, they multi-classed into a cleric of the Drow goddess Eilistraee. After that, the next important item was Phalar Aluve, a sword discovered in the underdark. Add to that the Boots of Stormy Clamour from Omeluum, a respec into a Rogue at level, a Bard-ified version of Astarion capable of Knocking open the Adamantine Chest in the Grymforge, and the build has pretty much come together. Here's how it works:
Having taken the Alert trait to make sure he always gets the first turn in combat, Fracture activates Phalar Aluve's action. See, he can't actually wield the weapon properly, but he can use its 'Shriek' ability, which deals a small amount of Thunder damage to any nearby enemies, and gives them disadvantage on a number of saving throws. That counts as applying a condition, and whenever that happens, Fracture's boots also inflict Reverberation, which deals more Thunder Damage once it hits five stacks.
Normally, Baldur's Gate 3 only allows one instance of Reverberation from Shriek per turn, but that resets with every ability use. That's where the Grymforge chest comes into play, as it hosts a Sentient Amulet that the player can talk to. Talking to the amulet counts as an ability, even though it doesn't actually work during combat - you'll 'use' the jewelry, but your character will simply utter a bark about how now isn't a good time to do that. By walking the Shriek aura back and forth over any enemy positions and hitting up the amulet each time, Fracture's able to stack infinite amounts of Thunder damage until their opponent dies. Coupled with a Sanctuary spell from Shadowheart that's not interrupted by this passive approach to

Baldur's Gate 3 cut content includes a nod to the original RPG, as well as a surprising villainous companion
Baldur's Gate 3 is an enormous game, with so much content it still feels like we could keep uncovering new lines of dialogue and secrets for months, if not years to come. However, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that plenty of content was cut from the final release, too, including several explorable locations, such as the first area in the original Baldur's Gate – Candlekeep.
