Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Half-Orc Barbarian??

Hi Guys,

Wanted to say that I love the game, even in early access, but I'm sad that my go-to class / race combo is nowhere to be seen. Hoping that these both are on the way? There are some fun options, but nothing is quite the same as great axe berzerking.

Keep up the good work! Been a fan of Larian since D:OS 1.

Thanks,
Moridin

I hear you. +100. I have a barbarian half orc I want to bring to life too.

I believe Swen told us in one of early interviews that they plan to implement all races classes and advanced classes from PHB ...
So, this should be included i believe.

Im kinda worried tho to be honest, about how will Half-orcs look ...
(There was allready a threat about this topic, but im unable to find it. :-/)
Since Elves are right now just humans with a little longer pointy ears. :-/
(There is really nice and kinda huge threat about how Elves should look properly.)
Im kinda worried about Half-orcs being just grayish humans with tusks. :-/

About Barbarian, i dare to believe that they could be done "soon", since i dont see much differences between them and battlemaster (i mean in matter of game mechanics).

I figure part of the issue with Half Orcs and Dragonborn and other such creatures is that they have to create new models. They can't just take the models they already have and run with them. They need to make bigger, bulkier models and scaled ones for Dragonborn, and so forth. So I doubt they will be any time soon. Even the halfling model is a bit off. They look like they have human heads on small bodies. The proportions are a bit off, in my opinion, and need to be reworked. But then, that might just be my opinion and not really the point. I'm just saying, it was easier for them to create the races they have because they mostly have the same height, weight and build. Creating a Half-Orce and Dragonborn and such will require different heights, weights and builds.

I'm sure that is part of it. Tons of things to be built and tinkered with atm. That being said...they had the lizard race in D:OS2 and bluntly, I'm not sure the engine is that much different for this game. I'm no programmer, but it seems like they could grab that model and bulk it up a bit for the Dragonborn at least. Half-Orcs might be more of a challenge. Racking my brain for a decent corollary model they could tweak...maybe the ogres but scaled down a bit? May have to go check out the Battlemaster for the time being.

+ 1000 from me.

I worry about the voices though. None of them are deep and grizzled enough.

Voices? :-/
We dont even have proper voice for a Dwarf yet. :-/

Agreed. They need more voices for sure. They only work for like 3 characters I've made at best.

I have a Llothsworn female. I need a voice like, "You would do well to fear a woman's wrath."

Pay Kevin Michael Richardson all of the monies.

I want the only thing that justifies my character's existence to be his insurmountable prowess with a heavy weapon. If I can't get my barbarian, can the cat familiar at least be able to pick pockets?

It's one of the races (Alongside Dragonborn and friggin' WARFORGED of all things.) that has in game tags for player dialogue options. Think it's just a matter of getting them finished, I would be shocked if it wasn't in the game at launch (Them and Dragonborn.).
