Lead character artist Alena Dubrovina also weighed in, saying "When cinematic dialogues were introduced for BG3, we realized we needed to make a huge quality leap in our character art. Launched into Early Access is a total of 150 heads to pick from, across the 16 races & subcraces. Our team spent much of pre-production carefully selecting, scanning, and moulding these scans, to become the base heads for character creation. Our character creation features photorealistic fantasy races, based on 3D scans of actors and models (blemishes and all), selected because their features roughly resembled the direction for each race in the game, as well of course for diversity and variety in the human-like races. Baldur's Gate 3 aims to be the former with incredibly photorealistic faces and unique design aspects. There have been incredible character creation tools in the past, and some not so much. "Or, will you go for a more traditional tiefling warlock who made a pact with the devil? The choices are endless!" "Will you be a beast taming mage-breaking charlatan halfling ranger with a toxic frog as a familiar, or a noble githyanki eldritch knight who let herself be seduced by the Absolute, with the ability to psionically drag her enemies towards her," says the team. The way they look also absolutely helps you feel more intune with your character and how you want them to thrive in the world. I'm not ashamed to admit that I will spend HOURS crafting the perfect character and have been known to restart playthroughs if my toon's 'lewk' isn't just right. While that's not everyone's schtick, to me it adds yet another layer of immersion, especially for those that love the role-playing aspect. Now for my favorite part: Character customization. Play to your character's strengths and what you want to see out of them during your time in-game. Each selection weighs heavily on what class you choose, which subclass, and the race. I always play the huge flirt, so Charisma is usually my first Ability Points dump. In true D&D style, players will also have six starter Ability points to allocate between these attributes: Each selection will have an impact on the game, including how your companions perceive you and how you can talk to them. Though not unusual in games of this genre, Baldur's Gate 3 will allow players to choose their race, subrace, background, and class. Whether leaning into total fantasy or just looking to recreate yourself for total immersion, the tools used for Baldur's Gate 3 aim to allow for a lot of player freedom. In Larian's latest community update, the team is diving into how players will be able to create their ideal character in-game. Last month, we learned even more about the in-game social circles and romance, this week we're learning more about the incredibly in-depth character creation tool.
Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios is shaping up to be a D&D fan's dream come true.
