Being able to make a customized character appearanceĭavid: You will be able to select a face type, hairdo, facial hair, skin colour. Will we have sliders for lots of different features on the fact, body, etc. How in depth will character creation be? Lots of options or sliders ir just a number of defaults to choose between?ĭavid: Character creation can be as in depth as you want it to be :)Īfter you select a race and a class, you could be all set and ready to go, but if you want to, you can dive in deeper, and change all the abilities, spells, skills, cantrips… and customize visuals.

We’re confident that you won’t feel short-changed in terms of narrative breadth and depth if you choose to play as a custom character- we love our origins, but this campaign is built for all of you. The campaign is much more reactive to your actions - when we say there are serious consequences to your choices, we really mean it - and as you move through your adventure, you’ll discover quest-lines and stories that relate directly to the character you’re roleplaying, and the things that you’ve done. In BG3, custom characters have a much stronger connection to the world and the main arc of the story - whether they’re from Baldur’s Gate, further afield, or somewhere else entirely (hey, githyanki). Will there be more storyline for customs than what was seen in DOS2? Perhaps something akin to Dragon Age Origins origin characters?Īdam: This isn’t DOS2. This was especially true if you were playing co-op, because each person who made a custom decreased how much you could interact with even companion stories. I think the concern here is that people felt that playing DOS2 as non-origin characters was somewhat pointless because they would miss out on quite a few dialogue options, and would have substantially less storyline. And when your story ends, you’ll have determined your own fate… and the fate of many others. Custom characters are central to the arc of BG3, and as your journey unfolds, you’ll walk your own path.

The world and the characters that populate it - whether companions, NPCs, enemies or potential allies - will remember and react to your actions and attitude. In many ways, they’re more unique, because you made them.

But just as in tabletop, it’s what you do after character creation and how you choose to roleplay that character that will make your adventure and character unique. Custom characters are hugely important to us, and when you choose your class, race and background, you’ll already have made choices that have an impact throughout the game - both in terms of what you can do, how you’re perceived, and what you know. More is possible, but not planned for the EA act.Ĭan half-drow grow beards like other half-elves?ĭavid: Can you believe that none of us here at the table actually know? We need to ask the moustache people if they planned it.Īre there plans to make custom characters feel as unique as the origin ones? If so, what can you tell us about them?Īdam: Hello! I’m not Swen, I’m Adam, one of the Senior Writers on BG 3 :D. Currently they introduce dialog options and voice-barks. Will warlock patrons have a large narrative weight in the story?ĭavid: Just like cleric gods and paladin gods, the warlock patron is a variable we know of and can react to. Here's an edited (non-related Baldur's Gate questions were left out here) compilation of the AMA with Larian Studios regarding Baldur's Gate.Ĭan we create custom vampire spawn characters?
