Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Lighting and Hair

In one of the recent updates hair got a lot lighter. If you've got black hair it's still dark and if you're blonde you're still going to be blonde, but the darker options for red and brown hair disappeared as the darkest options come out as middle of the road in darkness. I think the lighting needs to be toned down a bit to allow those darker hair options again.

Kagha has bubble gum hair now...is this like a PC thing, to make people with odd hair colors feel accepted?

I dunno, but its not just hair that changes in the light. My black outfit glows, kinda like Casper the ghost.


The one universal praise for this game has been the graphics....not any more.

If this is important to them, then they should roll the graphics back.

I agree that lighting & colors need to be fixed, as both look terrible and are inconsistent after Patch 8.

If you're interested, it is being extensively discussed in this thread: Patch 8 - Colors Became Too Vibrant And Washed Out Darker Shades with plenty of comparison shots and examples between Patch 7 and Patch 8.
