Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Nail customization in character creation

While in character creation it would be cool if we could choose the length of our nails, color etc. Also have the ability to choose to have Tiefling or Gith nails instead of our normal ones. I like the idea of having a character with sharp nails. Almost claw like. To fulfill my witch fantasy.

UUmmm NO. Contrary to popular belief there ARE bad ideas.

I understand wanting more options in CC.
But this seems (to me) like is so down the list of things that needs to be added/changes in CC to improve character designs that we might as well count on mods to do that.

Sometimes i think that this forum could use some "mod requests" section.

+1

Though I think Composer said that the modding community tend to hang out on the Larian Discord, so that might be the place to go with mod requests.

Eyh! What's up with the gatekeeping?!

It's up to Larian to decide what will be implemented and what will be left for modders to fix, not us. So, no, there is absolutely no need for a "mod requests section" until the game gets released and we will finally see what Larian deciced to not give a crap about.

If OP wants to request customizable nails, THIS is the forum for that. Now, fair if you don't agree with OP's wish but no need to belittle it.

I don’t think anyone belittled the suggestion except quadphonics, and I agree they shouldn’t have. Mods are being made in EA so it’s reasonable to request them now. And surely Melivy & I are entitled to our view that Larian shouldn’t spend time or effort on customisable nails even for the full release, but that it might be a candidate for modding and it couldn’t hurt to consider now whether that was possible.

And of course the OP is also totally entitled to make their original suggestion and I’m sorry they got the initial response they did. (Didn’t say that earlier because I didn’t want to amplify rudeness by engaging, but given we’re now talking about it anyway I’m happy to make that clear!)

Nails as in… nails on your hands? Unless your playing with a weird vampire build mod, or using a natural weapon [claw] which is not yet in game from my knowledge, such details would just detract from development time. Even at full zoom. I do not see my players hands, even more so when they are moving.

Leave this for mods.

If there *are* spells or abilities that let players grow natural claws then that could be cool to be able to see on screen. Though possibly it might be easier to accomplish that with as kind of gauntlet appearance rather than changing the character hands … I don’t know.

Are there spells or abilities like that in 5e that might be implemented? I know there are in Pathfinder, for example.
