Larian Studios Still Cooking the Ability to Change Baldur's Gate 3 Character Appearance

A studio that listens to its consumers? Preposterous!

Right now it’s a cross of Midnight Suns and Hogwarts. I went ahead and paid for the deluxe to get it on Saturday when I can actually play a decent amount.

My excitement for this game is absurd.

Yes... character customization is vital... look how ActBlizz put huge efforts into Diablo 4 char customization and look how insuperable that gameplay is.

Imagine they’ll add a mirror or something like in DOS2. That said, I’m quite curious to see what little good bags they add to the game. DOS2 had some pretty cool and powerful mods that transformed a playthrough and they were sprinkled throughout time as little free DLCs.

I usually leave my created characters the way they are after I've spent 2 hours trying to perfectly sculpt them.

I spend SOOO LONG tweaking how a character appears before playing.
The way that they look in the game sometimes doesn't mirror what I created (looking at you Dragon Age 2!) or how they look in the creation phase so you're forced to bin and try again! Nice to know Larian actually appreciate this!

This seems like the devs were coming up with all sorts of ideas all the way up to release. For obvious reasons, some things can't make the cut, but it's still a finished game irrespective of the cut ideas.

I'm happy with my dreadlock drow.

With Larian I'm getting some post Witcher 3 CDPR internet vibes. Who knows when the bipolar gaming "community" changes it's tone and turns on them too once something goes wrong. It's important to address constructive criticism, but another thing demonizing something and just ride out the toxic negativity forever.

I hope Larian avoids this fate, but I doubt it, as I wonder how many actually enjoy this hobby or rather just enjoy maintaining a hostile environment.

Surely this should just be:

Item=Mirror
Mirror=Character customisation.

Done

I’ve started NMS again as so much has changed since I last played. Feels like a good opposite to BG3: real-time vs. turn-based, sci-fi vs. fantasy, first-person vs. overhead, solo vs. party. A palette cleanser before the journey begins.

This option will be good. In an RPG, something as simple as my character wanting to change hairstyles is important, as it can mirror personality changes.

I fondly remember in Dragon Age: Inquisition, my character had a scar which she covered with her hair, but when her confidence grew, she cut her hair short and let that scar show in all it's glory. Little things like this make an RPG an RPG 😁

@tameshiyaku You say that like 2077 didn’t pretty much earn all of that. It’s still not the game they promise yet. That wasn’t gamers being flippant, it was the faith being misplaced.

I’d rather all the bugs be fixed but um okay.

😑

This is great. Unlike remnant devs being lazy and never letting you. My friend made an ugly female iguana thing and regrets it lol.

@Jaz007 Damn it's still cool to hate on cyberpunk?

@RedRiot193 It’s a valid point that CDProject Red wasn’t the gaming community being bi-polar. If they hadn’t released a 3/10 game that wouldn’t have happened.
Maybe we shouldn’t have hyped them up so much, but, that’s a different criticism to saying they got turned on after going from a 10/10 to a 3/10 at this publication, and number of others too. I don’t think that’s ever happened before TBH as well.
Now how is that “hating” exactly?

@Jaz007 3/10 game? Did you just play the ps4 version? If that is the case then sure. But by no means was the pc version was a 3/10 game. Not even close. If no mans sky can get a pass now after not having the promised features at launch why can't cyberpunk now? 80% very positve out of 550,000 reviews. With the last 30 days increasing it to 90%. It's time for ya'll to move on and stop hating on a game so much already. Not to mention the expansion coming up is a literal reboot adding even more features.

@RedRiot193 You’re just adding to what I’ve said. I said they released a 3/10 game. I didn’t say it still was. The point is that they broke trust gave gamers explicitly good reason to not have as much faith or goodwill. I never said they didn’t fix it, just that the changed perception of CDPrRD was anything but bipolar.
They’ve done a fair bit to some trust and goodwill back, but they how was loss of it bi-polar? That’s what the entire point here lies on.

@Jaz007 I said the PS4 game was a 3/10 game due to functionality and issues. I specifically said the pc version is not and asked you if the only version you played was the ps4 version.

It's more of a lack of realization than being bipolar. Blame goes both ways. If you bought the ps4 version when it came out expecting anything decent that's on the consumer. CDPR was also at fault for even attempting to put the game on those old pieces of hardware. I saw it coming a mile away personally and any person with any tech sense would have seen that travesty coming.

@RedRiot193 They just mislead people by selling the PS4 and Xbox versions the game never should have been released in that state on those platforms. You don't have to blame the customers for that CDPR released a broken knowing fully well the game was broken.

@Flaming_Kaiser You don't get it. It doesn't matter how long they would have taken to work on the ps4 versions. No amount of time was going to help those versions. Cyberpunk was a PC game first and was one of the first next gen games without a next gen console. BOTH are to blame. The customer AND CDPR. Do your research and you'd avoided getting bit by greedy practices like that.

@RedRiot193 If you can't fix it don't sell it? You don't get it they sold a broken product and they lied about it untill the end. No it's 100% CDPR if it doesn't work with blatant lying towards the customer then its only one company to blame.

@Flaming_Kaiser Dude you're not reading what I'm saying. Is it a companies at fault people don't do their part and let themselves be taken advantage of? If people wouldn't fall for such tactics they wouldn't have done that would they? Do you buy a fridge or car without looking into it? So why not a video game? Both are to blame.

Not to mention the insane amounts of pre-ordering that people constantly warn others about. Yet people still do it even after cyberpunk. You people continue to pre-order and gamble when you get bit and somehow you guys are innocent? lol no it doesn't work that way. Investors won fooling people that don't bother researching. That's the sad truth.

@RedRiot193 Nope I'm reading it right and my response won't change if you sell a broken game with knowledge it's 100% your fault.

I have never seen a game being removed from the PlayStation store because it was so busted.

Nobody is blaming the developers but im holding CDPR higher-ups completely accountable. This is not acceptable maybe with some people. People that say oh the GTA trilogy was acceptable.

We should ask for higher standards in the end we all pay for the products they release. And this goes for all developers.

@Flaming_Kaiser This is like talking to a brick wall. Just going in circles at this point. You want to stop getting bit by ***** practices like that then stop pre-ordering and falling for the hype train every time. Accountability matters. And if customers don't consider that nor do any research before a big purchase. Then that is also your problem.

I'm moving on. Good luck to you.

@RedRiot193 I'm happy you will be able to move on. But one simple question is there any other industry where you can get away stuff like this? You know the answer it's no you would get seud oh I forgot the did get seud.

@Flaming_Kaiser I'll answer that last question. Sued by their own investors. It's irrelavent to the point I made entirely.
