No custom made vampire in BG3

[The Infinity Sock]

I have just find out that we will not be able to make a vampire in BG3 it really does not bother me but here is the link to the info https://twinfinite.net/2020/03/baldurs-gate-3-reddit-ama/

That makes sense. Origin characters in DOS2 were amazing, so much so that you felt like you were missing out on the full experience by going custom.

In BG3, they plan to fix this by treating your custom character as if it were an origin character, with its origin being your status as a Baldurian.

In other words, in an effort to make playing a custom character more appealing, they’re sacrificing your choice of being a vampire in exchange for the story revolving around your connection to the city of Baldur’s Gate.

It would be cool if you could have a couple of custom origin stories for your character.
Like vampire or noble or city guard.

That would definitely be something great to add in, if they could do all the vocals for it. I’d imagine it would be a bit similar to how Dragon Age Origins did it (back when Dragon Age was actually good).

Still, it would be difficult, I’d imagine. We’re talking 8+ origin characters, plus 8 additional voice actors at least, 4 male and 4 female.

If they have it in the budget to get even more nitty gritty with custom origin, I say go for it.

I still find it pathetic a vampire who can walk in the sun.
In BG2 Hexxat had to wear the cloak of dragomir

My biggest concern isn't if they have the budget for it but if they waste the budget for it.
Voice actors are easy to hire with the money they have, but companies are inefficient and decisions are made by people.

A person is smart, people are dumb panicky animals.
