Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Elves are not Elven - Tel-quessir feed back ;)

Well this thread was about elves and Drow are elves... But I can see the point. Dont want this thread to derail.

Havent had a chance to play yet. Does anyone know if the elves loik more elven with their new animations? They apparently had the same animations as humans which obviously doesent fly and im glad they fixed it

It primarily concerns elven physiognomy and - to a lesser extent, thus far - overall physique (i.e., build). Sadly, the Drow are pretty much in the same boat as their surface cousins .

That's what I want to know. Do elves look more Elvin now?

Nope. just like humans with pointy ears that move differently. IMO.

OK I copied the link to start at timestamp 50 seconds...It didn't work

I made a male drow bard, and I can't help but notice how he stands and moves about like he's a gay model. It's hard to describe. He has one leg put forward, slightly bent at the knee, with his shoulders back.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is this part of the elf change? Or just a bard thing?

"He's not gay; he's just a bard."

Since there was time that this topic was just about "post some picture of something with pointy ears, no matter how human-like or elf-like facial features it was, so its not really clear if you are agruing by it pro, or against original point of this topic ... but do it anyway, so this topic gets some new posts and stay on top" ...

I would say we didnt "derail" too much.

I wonder ...
Have Gnomes fey ancestry?

I agree with this article you have an amazing character creation. But some of the elven heads feel kind of robust, powerful and robust more human.

^ Complains about Elf pictures being off-topic yet brings up Gnomes?

What article?

OK...so obviously aesthetics mater to Larian.

Since I prefer the plain old PHB Half-Elf with 2 extra skills (that oddly hasn't been implemented), I used the Half-elf mod.

A great feature of this mod is that you can choose any elf head, pure EVIL Drow included..(just kidding about the evil).

This may scratch your itch, if not, future models or a mod probably will.

Hook us up with a hyperlink, please.

Yeah, that's what he said earlier (not that I particularly agree with him).

Half-Elf mod that lets you also choose any elvin face.

Mod

The choose your own face was a surprise bonus for me and I greatly appreciated the variety.

How to mod BG3

If you haven't moded before, please understand that after each major patch mods have to be updated.

It takes some time to get working, but is worth it. My first play-through I manually moded (without a mod manager)

If you manually mod, you just have to figure out where to paste other mods into the first one, and test after each addition.

In other posts, there have been responses like "I shouldn't have to mod".

I saw and have not forgotten. Moding can be frustrating to get working, even if you have done it on previous patches...usually because of a small detail.

When the bulb comes on though it shines bright...like "OH..OK".


Mods really are the answer for many of our posts, however I really hope Larian pays attention to the things that cannot be changed.

Much appreciated, good sir/madam.

Imagine a tapestry; now, imagine that a section of that tapestry that was supposed to feature blue thread instead has cyan thread. You could - in theory - scan the flawed section and then color correct the cyan to the necessary shade of blue, but...there are two issues with that approach.

1. That additional step is additional work.
2. The finished product will still appear inaccurate.

I love mods, and developers that embrace modding could see their games live on long past their prime, for example Skyrim.
But mods shouldn't be a band-aid to fix problems/shortcomings that should have been fixed by the developers in the first place. Again see Skyrim.
