Oh, and a cross-save feature
The early access launch forBaldur’s Gate 3is just a handful of days away now—which is exactly how much time I need to prepare myself for the character creator in an RPG. Larian Studios have gone over the eight races and their several sub-races that you’ll be able to choose from during early access. They’ve also opened signups for a Larian account that will allow you to play your saved games across storefronts and platforms if you like.
WhenBaldur’s Gate 3launches in early access next week you’ll be able to make a custom character as a human, dwarf, drow, elf, half-elf, halfling, tiefling, or githyanki. Several races have sub-races as well such as the Gold or Shield dwarves, various tiefling bloodlines, and the few other halves for your half-elf.

“When cinematic dialogues were introduced for BG3, we realized we needed to make a huge quality leap in our character art,” says lead character artist Alena Dubrovina inLarian’s post. “We decided to use scanned faces in our production to create characters that were as realistic as possible. We scanned 40 people of different ages and ethnicity. While scouting for models we focused on features that would fit our fantasy races and we looked for faces that either had something unique about them or were very versatile to fit different characters.” Dubrovina says those 40 faces became the starting points for a total of 150 faces Larian created for the game.
Baldur’s Gate 3 launches onSteam,GOG, and Stadia on October 6th. Start planning those characters now.
