Before beginning on our journey in Baldur’s Gate 3, we all probably spend countless hours customizing our character. If you haven’t spend at least 20 minutes in Baldur’s Gate 3 character creation screen to create your avatar and dream character, you did something wrong. I personally spent more time on character creation than playing the actual game!
That’s the thing with the role playing games. We want to create our unique character to fully enjoy role playing experience. Thankfully Baldur’s Gate 3 offers one of the most expanded character creation screen in all modern era role playing games. Check out the video down below for BG3 character creation screen customizations. As you can see, there are tons of options to customize your Tav.
Unattainable beauty standards? As can be seen, these characters looks like supermodels. All character models are absolutely beautiful and highly customizable in Baldur’s Gate 3. Especially tiefling which is my favorite race.
We currently have 8 races and 7 classes, however these numbers will probably double or triple in time with the Baldur’s Gate 3 full release. Because many more races and classes available in dnd universe. Now let us guide the character creation screen options available for Baldur’s Gate 3 at this time.
Origin
Origin characters are unavailable in the early access. Therefore, players can only create their own custom origin characters.
You’ve always felt you had greater calling, but it has never borne fruit. Everything changes when you awaken imprisoned on an alien ship. Perhaps your time has finally come.
On this origin screen player can choose their backgrounds and character name which is Tav by default. Lastly, if you want to mod your game to make origin characters playable, check out Baldur’s Gate 3 origin characters page. You will also find future possible origin characters on the link. Currently available origin characters are Astarion, Lae’zel, Gale, Shadowheart, and Wyll.
Races
These are the Baldur’s Gate 3 early access races: Elf, tiefling, drow, human, githyanki, dwarf, half-elf, and halfling. Not much for a dnd game I know. However, many more Baldur’s Gate 3 races to be added with the full release. There will be more races for sure. Such as dragonborn, aasimar, gnome, orc, genasi, missing races, and exotic races. These are some of the upcoming races. Make sure to tell me which race you want the most via comment section.
If you hate to wait for race updates, you can always use Baldur’s Gate 3 race mods to create your favorite character.
Appearance
In appearance tab, player can choose their characters gender, voice, face, hairstyle, facial hair, tattoo style, and makeup style. Additionally skin, hair, tattoo, and makeup colors.
To edit your character appearance better, try using these Baldur’s Gate 3 cosmetic mods. Face models are already beautiful. But with mods, you can create much more prettier and unique characters.
Also make sure invest time on your characters looks. Because in Baldur’s Gate 3 you won’t be able to change your character appearance in game, after character creation screen. Undoubtedly some kind of a respec mirror will be added later to the game.
Class
Baldur’s Gate 3 early access classes are cleric, fighter, ranger, rogue, warlock, and wizard. Best class for me is the warlock for the early access. Because of the animal speaking and versatility in combat.
Future classes are going to be bard, paladin, monk, sorcerer, barbarian, and druid. Of course we are going to have to wait a lot for new classes to be added.
Nevertheless you are welcome to use Baldur’s Gate 3 class mods in the early access. Instead of waiting for the next class releases. My favorites are paladin, barbarian and bard mods.
