Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Bunch of random questions

I have questions. Please feel free to answer, or add to them.

Is there a run/walk toggle?
I haven't touched EA in two years, I don't recall. Not that big of a deal, but I like to just walk around town every now and then, like the fancypants adventurer that I am.

Would it be safe to assume you can bring hirelings to the tailor?
We know you can talk to some tailor/wizard/whatever to change your appearance. Things like gender are all down to body type and pronouns. So, would I be wrong to assume that a hireling can talk to such an NPC and redo all that - just like it would when you use that character to talk to Withers and respec? That way you can actually transform a Duergar into appearing like a proper bearded surface dwarf, for example, or get the Paladin to be a Female Warpriest of Tempus. Just a thought, really, it seems so natural the way the game works. It would solve a fairly big issue that people - including me- fuss over.

Have the Origin characters been adjusted to the new ASI distribution?
I could probably figure this out, but if someone already hass.... It just occurred to me that there are printed character sheets for the OC's in the Collector's Edition. If these were made prior to the change, then... They might actually have their original stats, making Gale the best Human Wizard in the game, for instance. It might also be an incentive not to respec them.

Is there a difference in fidelity or options between Vulkan and DirectX?
I've not a clue and I don't quite understand what Vulkan does. The Larian website says it's about performance, but my rig will have no problem with either. I'm just wondering, here.

no but you can sneak
yes its confirmed there are outfit and that there are tailors so i'd assume those two things work for any party member and a hired party member is still a member
i doubt it... Larian isn't big on details they just make changes and looked shocked when things go wrong a week later
no both systems should rendor the same it just some computers lean on their Cpu and others the Gpu... use which ever one works, actually switching from one to the other is a great workaround when thing go wrong

Fair enough.

I didn't mean outfits; I meant the place/whatever where you change appearance - basically go back to the character editor.

Fair enough.

Righto, we'll see, then. Thanks.

outfit = you have the running around one and the back at camp one... i'd assume changing anything about a member happens at camp [thats where you respec and rez]

Has there been a confirmation that you can even change your own character? I've only heard about respec and that is handled the same way for all cases (Tav, other origins and hirelings). That makes me wonder if we will be able at all to make changes to the character's look?

I get that, but it's not what I mean.

There is to be an option to change your actual, physical appearance. Supposedly, there is to be an NPC that facilitates this; could be Withers, could be someone else - we don't know. Maybe tailor was a bad choice of word... A Cosmetic Surgeon, if you will. Like the Face Sculptor in the Ragged Flag in Skyrim.


Yes, I *think* it was in the Panel from Hell, but they definitely said as much recently.
