Larian or a good idea for modders

Having the option to choose male or female as an identity

or add a body type and condense the face section to include all male and female heads.

I have noticed that some of the female heads would honestly be awesome used as for a younger male character. (In dnd I play my characters usually as a first adventure)
the only problem is the female stance and body type doesn't really work with the face of the character i am trying to make. it makes my sword in the stone character look ummmm interesting lol.

Also maybe the ability to do the all skin colors options but for all options again such as face type, horn type, race type. I wanna make some crazy characters if possible. Having more options is definitely the answer in RPG's. And you

Agreed! Making (versions of) all heads available for all races of all genders would give much more flexibility in creating characters. I say versions because they might need to be tweaked for characteristics such as pointy ears and

And I do like the idea of selecting a body type independently of the biological sex of your character. It would be great to have different body shapes characteristic of men and women of various shapes and sizes along with more androgynous bodies. Of course, I’m sure that would cause all kinds of difficulties with armour models, etc but even just having the male and female body types available to both sexes as you suggest would help.

Though are you also saying it would good to have all skin colours options available for all characters? Aren’t they already? Or asking to be able to have all horn types and racial body types available no matter what your characters’ actual race, like you can already choose to pick from all skin colours?

That would be great. Adding the ability to pick from dwarf and halfling bodies, for example, would help create a variety of smaller human characters. Of course, you could create some, as you say, crazy characters like a gnome with a githyanki body and tiefling horns, but what’s the harm?

Honestly, I'm not sure if this is even possible for Larian (although Bioware did it so it probably is), but if you could add sliders so that we can modify our character's body and face that would be amazing. I don't want my character to have the same face as a billion other people's characters. Especially if I'm playing multiplayer. Then all our characters look the same. (Of course more face options may also be implemented before final release, so I'm also keeping that in mind)

I suspect all the NPC faces will be available. What I am wondering is if all the existing faces are based off Larian employees.
I can almost see Sven’s mug in one of them…

you know etheis.

ive also said this in another post far as the body and face options. if @larian could impliment a slider system into the game for the face and bodies. it would truly give everyone the chance/options to truly create the character they envision in their minds.

do not get me wrong i dont mind how the preset heads an bodies look. but it would be soo much better if we could use sliders to alter and make our face and bodies in the game how we wish them to be.

i honestly cant see why it couldnt be done. really it would be a win win for Larian to do and also a win win for us as well. so it would be a win win for everyone. otherwise modders would have to make new face models and body models etc which yes as ive said before they can/could do it. but if we had sliders for face and body options in the game it would then save the modders time in that regard for them to focus on making content to expand bg3 itself i'e new maps etc etc
