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.

First they let you choose them. Now they let you change them! Aaagh the freedom is crushing! How can such control ever be given to gamers!?

Eesh.

Is Starfield even multiplayer?

The question about Starfield being multiplayer (it's not, BTW) just made me wonder if other players in the BG3 session see your character's pronouns (I haven't played online yet).

Wouldn't be that cool if the other players keep misgendering my gnome.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly don't know why I said Starfield. I am almost certain I meant BG3. Or maybe I also was reading about malding over Starfield pronouns.

Ah well.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Haha I figured it was on purpose linking this news to the current Nexus drama over the removal of a mod that removes the pronoun option at character creation.

I'm ready for the impotent screeching of all the manlets who hate parts of speech.

this is a boon for genderfluid people everywhere

Hell you can roleplay as a trans character who has their egg cracked and slowly transitions throughout the game

Aw hell yeah, more meltdown videos on the horizon

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could have sworn it already had this functionality but I guess I'm wrong

[–] odium@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that before you could only set it in the character creation screen at the start. Now you can change it anytime.
