Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Dragonborn

Soon please. That is all.

On the bright side I'm almost sure they are planned and in development.
On the less bright one, I'm fully expecting them to be among the LAST thing they'll add to early access.

Soon, just have to wait 12 months.

Tuco I love your avatar and I'm afraid both of you are right. Can you list all of Tuco's (alleged) crimes by the way?? One of my favorite scenes in any movie over the past 50 years of film...

FUS RO DAH!

I used to be an adventurer like you...

I too will be happy when they add the least interesting player race, since that means they'll have added all the good ones by then. I hope.

Yes plz.

Seems i'm the only one that wants his Duergar Battlemaster

You're not the only one.

Pleeeeeeeeeeease!

I have a suggestion! Avail Dragonborn relations to deities such Tiamat/Bahamut. It could be applied someway similar to tieflings. Wouldn't that be cool?

Oh no! Everyone look away. Don't pay any attention to this guy. Oh, we'll never get to see a half-orc.

Dragonborn and or half orcs would be a nice addition to see come in along side the paladin / barbarian classes at the same time for a larger character build. Dragonborn is probably the most requested race outside Aasimar hopefully it would come in with the barbarian class as they would want to add a larger character build model to go with it a more I am burly model and that would be a good way to introduce it which would also make added half orc an easy added in option to follow suit on it and we would get first look at what Larion is going to do with less humanoid appearance races I am hoping we see something similar to alot of the models from the phb and what not and hopefully far away from divinity lizard men in the look. I feel like next race we will see will probably be gnomes however with a durgar add since they already have models.

It would make sense to do the dragonborn with the barbarian however as it would be a really good tie in with a more ripped jacked up male model and the option to choose some variation in character size at character selection. + They already have some barbarian starter gear appearances in the game files so hopefully.

Halflings and dwarves are already in the game, and they already both look like little kids. No matter what you think or want, those races will turn into little kids. The half-orc would be a much better choice than another small-statured race.

Dragonborn is not a small statured race.....

The only reason I see it more likely we will see Gnomes or Durgar more likely over those sooner is because they models are already in game files. So less work has to be done to release them as a playable option.

Currently all the work is in place where they could release barbarian, gnomes and durgar with little to no effort on there part as oppose to Dragonborn and Half-Orcs which do not have any models currently in the data mined game files to be usable. I however there are already Chat dialogues for both so I would not expect it to be a long time before models come out for both. Implimentation may take alot longer. It will probably be 1 or the other and more likely that it would be dragonborn purely because they are more requested on net overall than half orcs though i think both do need to be added at some point. Half-Orc would work well with fighter and barbarian but Dragonborn could be a good addition to paladin, barbarian, warlock, bard, and sorcerer. It would also test there ability to make a non human figure as a race since pretty much every race currently in game is more humanoid than not they still have more humanoid features. Dragonborn would be a much larger step seen there face would not have a human like appearance as well as both HALF ORC and DRAGONBORN would use the larger humanoid models.

The reason I see Dragonborn as a much larger push concept is its 1) more requested on net. 2) It has more class options it would see regular play with. 3) It tests large models. 4) It tests there ability to make a non-humanoid faced character being added a more monstrous race coming in.

Given the choice id like to see it enter with paladin as that hits both check marks for good options for the class. However it would make more sense to release it with barbarian as the race lines up with making the barbarian not just feel like gale in a toga. Barbarians have to be bulky and brutish or it just does not feel like a barbarian. Half orcs could also fit this but it doesnt check all the boxes. I feel like half orc will probably come after aasimar and dragonborn just because of player design.

If I had a choice id say release dragonborn with paladin and annouce half orc with barbarian for a 2 month follow up or vice versa but I dont see that happening. Just because the 2 more requested races are Aasimar and dragonborn which leads me to think it would be dragonborn with barbarian and then aasimar with paladin but it could be done as half orc with barbarian and dragonborn with paladin as a second since both do have dialogue in game files and aasimar does not currently. I am just thinking from a developement stand point and interest stand point what would hit the most people being happy.

I also contradict myself a little saying that as Monk is probably higher on the wanted list than some other classes currently and releasing those could be a high sought after option with Githzerai // Aasimar as well.

Gnomes I feel would come with more wizard subclasses. And more tiefling subraces would probably come with sorcerer. I think its a matter of what works out well with what in cohesion. If they wanted to make a big patch and wow people a bit. Druid was a nice addition but I felt they could have done more.

There's really no type-caste rules. You can make a half-orc wizard, if that's what you like.

1) Didn't count.
2) I'll have to play around with the character creator.
3) Yes.
4) Yes.

I don't want to see either beautiful or small characters. Why?

1) All beautiful things become evil women.
2) All small characters become children.

I'm not a child, and I'm not a woman. I want to see something big and ugly.

I guess we will definitely get deep gnomes and duergar.
Those characters are currently in the game and you can select those dieties as cleric.
Its only strange that we have not seen a surface gnome so far.

I really hope they include all PHB classes and races.
More is always nice to have (we already have gith and drow, plus probably other underdark races), but I would not bet any money on it.

+2 str +1 cha dragonborn
+2 str +1 con half orc

Shield dwarf already gives +2 str +2 con but different racial traits...also larger size for half orcs as a + towards a large brutal warrior and racials are slightly better overall for an offensive character however on the down side they bring less to the table in some cases to other classes than the shield dwarf or in case of discussion dragonborn. Making them feel less oo la la as an add but they would fit really well to adding barbarian as barbarian and fighter really are where the half orc shines as a game addition.

Dragonborn with the +2 str and +1 cha fit really well for paladin being added however there versitility extends further being usable for sorcerer, bard, warlock and also for fighter and barbarian classes. They kind of give you alot of options you can play with for choices. The breath weapon lets them experiment with its power of having a race with ranged attack at low levels. They do have that bulky build that you could test a larger warrior whos brutish and savage with a monstrous appearance but then same time you can also fit them into a strong paladin or interestingly enough hex blade as a potential class which i do see being added at some point but not crossing my fingers or you could see them work into a interesting bard build. They also give another option for when sorcerer comes out. Being able to pick all the different shades of dragon colors for skin color is nice too. Id like to see them make sure to keep skin tone with color of the breath weapon but im not sure that will happen. Scales and a like slightly primal appearnce to different dragon types would in there face would be really nice but id like to see it stay similar to phb and not see larion turn them into lizards basically. But wont really see till they do come out. They need to look draconic to feel like dragonborn.

Biggest issues I see with Half-Orc while it does need to come in vs Dragonborn is popularity and what does it bring vs what is already there. Its a different option that doesnt overlap as much in choice as it doesnt with Half-Orc. If i could id like to see both come out with corresponding classes.

There are datamined game files for about 37 more races / subraces from what was released online but models are currently only in game from what those files said currently for gnomes and durgar so i do expect we will see them first. As they could do a small patch add like 2 wizard subclasses and gnomes and it would not be a huge change but would keep people busy for a bit same with duergar and like champion fighter. Small impact changes that would distract people while a larger patch was worked on or maybe champion fighter and Necromancer for duergar. Those are small things that distract people require less work while larger patches are released and most of the foot work is already done.

That 37 is both races and subraces and counts the different dragonborn colors as different subraces so if you take that away its 25+ the dragonborn subraces color aspects. I see dragonborn as a big patch that if placed well with a good class could keep people preoccupied for a while especially if you throw in maybe adding level 5-6 to early access if you get exp to get that high combine those 3 things your keep people busy for 2-3 months where they ignore you.. (O and add some more in game items to the loot pools).
