Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Custom character and their story.

The lack of character backstory will feel really odd once the full game releases and we can enter Baldur's Gate. Unless you're playing a drow or githyanki, that's supposed to be your home city - a place where your pre-tadpole identity should matter as much as what you've done throughout the game. Ideally, there'd be NPCs who already know you, organizations who'd be more willing to help you on quests, and the general sense that you existed before the mind flayers scooped you up. I know this would mean limiting our characters to a handful of backstory choices, but I'd be more than happy with the tradeoff.
