Baldur's Gate 3 | Character Creation Updates (pre Early Access)



With all of these screenshots floating around, I’m giving a big thanks to Michael at Larian for all of them being ultrawide. Today I cover everything we got updated on with character creation. I think its safe to say, we’re in good hands.

  1. Think I'll do a Paladin-character for the beta. Larian suggesting an evil character is all well and good but I like my true-neutral characters in RPGs that can actually change throughout a game depending on what I want to do rather than pressured to keep.

  2. I used to be a heavy D&D player and novel reader in my youth in the 1990s. The last Forgotten Realms books I read were the original Drizzt Trilogy. That said I've never heard of Tieflings or Githyanki. They must have risen to prominence in the last 20 years.

  3. Although I have full trust with Larian..Baldurs Gate not being real-time with pause does not seem to be a successor. If only Obsidian adapts the D&D rules, then Pillars would have been the closest thing to a Baldurs Gate 3. That being said, I will fully support and purchase this game. Larian's turn-based and support to their game and community is just top notch.

  4. I don't get it.. from my understanding, you're supposed to be some female githyanki coming out of that pod, so how come the character creation

    Reply
  5. The faces aspect turned out to be a huge lie. We get 8 per race and gender. Drow get their own set, High Elf gets their own set, Human get their own set, etc. It's not 100+ per gender, which is how they made it sound.

    Reply
  6. i had hoped there'd be more customisable. i mean, only 4 or 5 faces for each gender?
    Anyone else notice the voices are mixed in? i am getting female voice options (2/4) for my builds.

    I hope there'll be more. But im loving the more D&D focused elements. just need combat tips

  7. No, the choice isnt mine, considering that a pre made characters at least in Divinity games, had unique quest and backstories, which were missing when you created your own character. that is why im very sceptical about larian games

  8. While I love playing Wizards, don't do that in BG3. It really sucks with the current subclasses available. Abjuration doesn't really help, only evocation.
    Warlock and Ranger is a really cool combo if you play with a friend. Can't wait for more subclasses like Hexblade. And Beastmaster is really good for Ranger.

  9. honestly, the bit im most excited about is the fact that crafting will be limited.
    excessive crafting mechanics is one of those things that has been plaguing narrative RPGs over the past decade. at some point, someone just decided that excessive crafting mechanics is something that belongs into every high quality game, especially big open world games, to make them even bigger.
    it does not add to any story driven RPG experience, ever. in fact, it takes away from it. all it adds is fluff and junk and padding. all it does is dilute the actual experience with the most unsatisfying facet of the gameplay. it belongs in survival horror games, not story driven RPGs.
