Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What character(s) will you make first?

For the longest time, I was someone that really didn't care for the companions we had in the game. I was going to go with full custom parties, and made one of each class in D&D Beyond with strict PHB choices as examples of what I would make for BG3.

But with the official confirmation of Halsin bolstering the numbers of allies that I like, I may actually have a run with companions after all. So that said the two choices I'm considering are:

A Sword Bard sailor using a scimitar (I wish I could reflavor it as a cutlass). Probably going Human. Neutral most likely, as that Sailor background plays out like Locke in FFVI with his "treasure hunter vs thief" distinction. My Bard wouldn't be a pirate, he'd be a privateer.

A Draconic Sorcerer (never gone Copper before so I may want to play with acid magic a bit). Entertainer background to play into the personality of copper dragons. Half-Elf feels right with this one. Chaotic Good for sure.

EDIT: Never mind, probably not Copper Draconic after all since I forgot WotC hates Sorcerer and doesn't even give them Acid Arrow. In that case I'd probably just go Gold since Disguise Self as the given spell seems nice. Or Silver since I prefer cold over fire magic.
