3 minutes and counting.

On the acting in the intro, my 14 year old: "this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen"

Yeah, always good to have a forum thread for chatting during a PFH.

Character creation, and customisation options.

It is now possible to have mature/aged characters. Great.


Tiefling horns are customisable.
> Can we finally choose a true No Horns ? (Not vaguely-cut horns ?)
> And No Tail ?

Oh and, finally, we no longer choose face, hairstyle, etc, from a list. It seems that the matrix visualisation UI has been expanded to more than just skin colour and hair colour.

Also, piercings. Great.

So basically a human with a more exotic paintjob?

They are still young, they will see dumber.

Okay that Dragonborn coloring is incredible

Yes, -ish. I don't like Tieflings that are mass-produced according to strict specifications. Being exposed to the magic of the planes (or even just the plane of the Nine Hells, or even just having devil ancestors) should result in a wide range of possible "mutations" / features. Weird eyes, 6th little fingers, black nails, weird teeth, horns, tails, weird ears, weird skin colour, ... or any mix of any subset.

I'm not expecting Larian to add options for 6th finger, nail colour, etc ... but the option to have no horn or no tail is just a matter of including these options in the list of horn styles and ... tail style.

Goat's feat is an original Tiefling feature that I haven't seen since Planescape: Torment.

Oh yeah, goat/ungulate feet would have been cool.

Ah ha ! Custom Characters can now get one Backstory ("Origin Story") : the Dark Urge.

Now wondering if there are more Backstories, and the option to choose no Backstories.

Curious,

is the character creation being shown PlayStation or will this be Pc. I am partial to the current set up for creation. I can adjust. I like what im seeing.

Dark Urge feels very compelling to me. Complete freedom of class and race, and they'll feed you the origin story as you play? Sign me up.

It might turn out gimicky, but I'll definitely give it a chance

So, how will the dark Urge work as a companion? The Dark urge feels more like a player-origin/mix/meta character.

They said this Origin is for Player Characters only.

I think Gale could use a hand hahahaha

One good thing, with Dragonborn, you don't get the ridiculous facial expressions!

Showcase of the Dark Urge so far : hm ... murder hobo with amnesia ?

Wow!

They didn't surprise with the last origin character.

They began with what they called "Evil and Neutral" characters and ended with pure evil. They completely broke their word and outright lied, also not a surprise.

Thankfully this character only exists if you choose it.


Hard pass.

I don't know, there seems to be a possibility of redemption for the Dark Urge, which is very intriguing for me.

I'm not sure this Dark Urge is the last Origin Character.

It's only a narrative mechanics, that adds an "Origin" to a Custom Character.

I'm still expecting to hear about a 7th Origin Character, i.e. a character that can be played as PC or recruited as Companion.

OK, that doesn't sound good. Ist the last origin not a fixed character? Can someone explain? I can't watch sadly.
