Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 3, which was so massive Larian held it back a day to test it properly, will release today, and it’ll add an RPG feature many of us have been requesting since we stepped clear of the Nautiloid - the ability to change a character’s appearance. Alas, it comes too late for the Wood Elf Druid I rolled during my first try at the 1.0 version. I wanted her to look like a sort of Kung Fu Galadriel, with cool tattoos and aerodynamic scars, but she emerged from the character creator looking like she’d been mugged by a packet of demon crayons. I’ve left my active character, a High Elf Sorceress, safely tattoo-less.
They’ve been promising this since Patch 1, and changing your appearance is a really common feature in games with a create a character.
Most games do have limits on it after creation but I did remember just now that the Saints Row series did just this. I just have Starfield on my mind and forgot.
Now we can role-play a bad guy turning into a good guy and vice versa.
