I might have a personal soft spot for Baldur's Gate 1, but it's impossible to deny that Baldur's Gate 2 is far more influential. It's tectonic: a game that codified a model of RPG making whose influence is still felt today, and it's in large part down to how it handled its companion characters.
How To Change Your Appearance In Baldur's Gate 3
25.09.2023 - 17:45 / screenrant.com
Although it was impossible at launch, you can now change your appearance in . The character’s appearance was fixed after starting the game, but Patch 3 of Larian’s critically acclaimed turn-based CRPG made it possible to customize certain aspects of the player’s avatar mid-game. As a single playthrough of the campaign can be hundreds of hours long, this feature allows you to freshen up your character’s looks, perhaps to match the tastes of your romance candidate in .
There are a few limitations when it comes to changing your appearance after you have already started the campaign, so you will not be able to essentially create a new character mid-game. Nevertheless, this option is easily one of the best changes in ’s Patch 3. This update also tweaked some performance issues – mainly in Act 3 – and applied some improvements to Gale’s behavior with the player. The game also received Mac support with Patch 3, expanding the potential player base.

You can change your appearance in by interacting with the Magic Mirror set up in your campsite. This item is a permanent addition to your camp and can be interacted with as many times as you please – unlike changing your class, there is no cost involved in re-customizing your playable avatar. The Magic Mirror offers the option to play around with your character’s appearance. This includes changing your facial appearance, hairstyle, eye colors, voice type, identity, scars, tattoos, and accessories.
The location of the Magic Mirror in your camp will vary according to the camp type you are currently hosted in, much like the Companions’ tents.
For characters with additional customizable elements, such as tieflings and their horns, this will also be changeable, both in terms of style and color. The changes through the Magic Mirror can be minimal or significant, depending on what you are going for. A complete overhaul to your look, perhaps to match your roleplaying session in is a great way to get immersed in an evil or heroic campaign.
There are some limitations regarding mid-game customization with the Magic Mirror feature in your campsite. When re-customizing your character, you cannot change their race. ’s races play an important part in your character’s construction and, while it does not influence the story itself, it does have significant changes to stats.
The same goes for the character’s subrace. Another thing that is impossible to change is your character’s body type. Each race has four different body types, and the one you chose at the start is the one you are going to be stuck with.
Companions’ visuals cannot be changed and, if you started your campaign as an Origin character, you are also locked out

You can finally change your name in Baldur’s Gate 3
A funny story about me: I did not know that “Tav” was the default name for the player character in Baldur’s Gate 3. I thought, like in other role-playing games I’ve played, it was a randomly generated name. “Tav,” I thought when I saw it, “not bad for a random name generator.” Then I found out lots of other people have Tavs, and learned the truth: I wasn’t impressed by a random selection; I had settled for vanilla. Mortifying, honestly.
