My 1.0 protagonist is a custom Drow sorceress who’s got Charisma and Persuasion chops to spare, but isn’t so great at getting hit in the face. As such, I tend to lead the party during exploration with grumpy oldLae’zel, the better to power through any ambushes, but this means that Lae’zel does a lot of the talking, too, and Lae’zel wields words the same way she does greataxes.

I’m trying to be a diplomatic do-gooder but I’ve gotten into plenty of avoidable scraps thanks to Lae’zel’s flinty bedside manner. I experimented with havingShadowhearttake the fore, but she’s not especially charming either in the early game. I wanted to be friends with those ogres, Shadow. Couldn’t you have tagged in my Sorceress rather than winging it? I will admit to savescumming many of these encounters, but Alice B saysthat’s the correct and proper way to play BG3, so all is well.
As regards Baldur’s Gate 3 modding in general, there’s already a fair bit of it about for the Early Access version and modders have brought a few across to the 1.0 build, from bigger fonts to additional D&D spells, but you should obviously exercise caution, this close to release. One of the more significant mods lets youmulticlass in Explorer mode. I’ve also seen a lot of clamour for a mod that lets you change your custom character’s appearance - I can certainly relate to that, as somebody who tends to carpet their characters in leet body paint that looks absolutely monstrous in-game.
Are you holding out for any particular new features or changes, official or unofficial? For more on how this rather outrageously oversizedRPGwas written, here’s Jeremy’sBaldur’s Gate 3 Making Of.
