Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Larian plans to improve character customization?

While the sliders for bodies are probably beyond the scope of possibility (you never know, though), having at least the choice of several body types for every race is kinda needed so that the origin characters resemble their key art more - like how Shadowheart is supposed to have far more of a tomboish look to her, with some pretty defined musculature on her arms, and I highly doubt Astarion would have the abs of somebody doing bench-pressing on a regular basis. Adjustible height would be quite welcome too, so that the drow women can be made canonically taller than the males.

Whereas the faces are sketchier as far as the possible extent of their customization in the full game goes. Yes, they are scanned heads, but they do get significantly altered to fit the races (I highly doubt they'd have found a few gith around to get a scan of them), and there are several instances of them just outright using another race's head model for a different one (like the tiefling wizard from the Grove, or some of the petrified drow having human ones). There's been some impressive appearance mods too, where the same basic face structure would receive slight alterations to fine-tune the look somewhat. My ultimate hope here is that we'll at least have feature selection (ears, eyes, mouths, etc.), because just having a selection of preset heads in a game that focuses so heavily on character close-ups and late Bioware-like dialogue cinematography is kinda embarassing, honestly. Not that you can't make some neat looking characters with what is available, but meeting your clones amongst the NPCs is really unfortunate.
