Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Inspirations, Blood, Saves & Comps

I have a few suggestions I'd like to share and I figured it wouldn't be cool to make a thread for each one, so I'll just add them all here c:

Suggestion 1: More inspirations
Maybe it's just me, but I really like hunting down inspirations for each background! It'd be cool if we had more and maybe some class-specific ones. To me, it feels like I'm trophy/achievement hunting!

Suggestion 2: Remove blood
I'd like an option to turn off blood for the character's faces, at least during cutscenes, because it ruins my screenshots D: I know you can clean with water, but I always forget to before entering a cutscene.

Suggestion 3: More Saves
Again, maybe it's just me, but I LOVE having loads of characters. Currently, I have one for each class and I'm kind of at the limit of allowed saves ^^; I'm not sure if this is a console issue or just a game issue as a whole. I saw recently that the mod limit was increased and I was hoping the same could be said for saves? Would love to have more characters to experiment with and more original characters to flesh out c:

Suggestion 4: Companions
I know we have hirelings that we can edit, but you can't change their race and, while you CAN change their gender, you can't actually (they will be seen as male but still have the female frame, for example.) When you play as many saves as I do, it can get boring to have the same old companions and hirelings! I know you can have a friend create a character and pop them into your world, but it would be cool if I could do that myself, especially for role-playing purposes.

I don't know how realistic any of these things are or if there's enough people wanting them to warrant the time, effort and money required to do this. However, I hope you'll at least consider these c: I love this game and these options would make it so much more enjoyable for me, especially the save limit one! Thanks for reading, feel free to let me know your thoughts on these.

Suggestion 1: +100 and even more backgrounds like Faction Agent (Zhentarim) etc. pp. would be awesome.

Suggestion 4: Yes, a custom party creator with saveable builds, as in the predecessors, was often suggested in the past, but was apparently not well received by the team. It was apparently feared that the Companions would then be played less... I don't want to dash your hopes, but this kind of request was considered and implemented with half-heartedness and as much as I hope I am wrong, I no longer believe that much will happen. I also did never understand that race-lock by hirelings...

Ooo yeah that's a good idea! More backgrounds could be fun and give us more freedom when making characters.

I didn't know that about the custom party, though. Maybe since enough time has passed, they won't mind about the main comps not being used as much? Hopefully they will at least reconsider it and if not, that's okay. It was worth mentioning, just in case c:

I don't get it either. You can edit everything about them, including their name, but not their race and gender. I wonder why they did that.

I wonder if there was more backstory planned for hirelings initially. At least Sina'zith has some banter, but I only got her, Kerz and Brinna relatively late in the game.
