Larian Studios Forums Divinity General Discussion Attractive romance options + Better character creation

Better character creation: Possibility to create beautiful/handsome characters, more robust, more options, sliders, colors etc.. (Divinity: Original Sin 2 was IMPOSSIBLE to create a beautiful character, their faces were abominable.)

Attractive romance options: I don't like the male options in Baldur's Gate 3, Most of the men in BG3 world are ugly. The only moderate exception for me is Gale.
Come on, give me handsome men! Ex: Nathan Drake, Chris Redfield, Deacon St. John, Leon, Carlos Oliveira, Solid Snake, Cal Kestis, Cullen Rutherford etc.. (Not just humans, you could also make hot elves and lizards.)

That's some white-ass lineup you got there.

Your grindr algorithm must be really narrow.

Sorry, It's not my fault if we don't have many handsome black guys in games.

But if you want representation, I just remembered him now: Lincoln Clay

BG3 does not have conventionally attractive male presets with artificially messy hairstyles and sweaty foreheads. But all things considered, the character creator is alright.

It certainly allows for a unique feel for each character made. If you can adequately use it at least.

I made a lot of characters to have an almost 'white-ass lineup' of my own.. to share a few..

They don't look good to me.

I had to download mods to create an handsome character like I wanted.

I mean we could do the thing from bg3 and do the whole who do you dream of.

I'm not a friend of sliders for faces. In game with sliders all characters in some way look similar or grotesque on the extremes. There should be more face options and especially body options instead, with a bit more variety compared to BG3. I missed different body stature options the most.

I was a bit lucky in BG3 with the faces. I consider one male face and one female face for Half-Woodelf and one female face for Human in BG3 very attractive, which was nice because I played Half-Woodelf in my first playthroughs and currently I'm playing and will only ever play Human. Without a face I liked playing would be much less of a pleasure, so I can understand the wish for better char creation options.

The more options the better, although those metrosexual types are a big no for me. As long as character creation satisfies both ends I am happy.

It seems that you have a very specific and very narrow taste in men's faces, which doesn't align with my own tastes in men (like, AT ALL). I think if you're that picky about the way characters look, you should probably just use mods. That's what mods are for.

For the base game, I think it's more important to have a diversity of faces, rather than try to align to a very specific kind of face, because everyone has different preferences.

I could say the same to you, but in reverse: The game should have handsome faces and attractive romance options available, and you'll have to wait months to get less handsome faces as you wish (but you know that probably nobody will make those mods...) Do you understand my point?

There's a reason why there are LOTS handsome/pretty face mods to BG3, MANY players were dissatisfied with the faces the game had to offer.

Larian should think about that in the next game. Let there be more diversity, not SO MANY faces devoid of beauty.

I think for creating your own character there should be a variety of options to make every kind of appearance, from conventionally handsome to unattractive so that I can roleplay the type of character I'd like. Most important to me is that races are unique and stand out from one another so that I am not simply limited to creating a few variations of pretty human.

In terms of the world-building, companions and NPCs I think it should have a realistic representation where having pretty privilege is something that makes certain people stand out. When everyone are conventionally attractive, it's not a privilege.
