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.

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.

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.
