KOTAKU: Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Called Out For Their Basic-Ass Character Creations

Larian: "Congratulations, you’ve basically made the default Vault Dweller. What the hell guys. We gave you demon eyes, horns, and even tails. We are sorely disappointed. Go crazy. We worked hard on this!"

You're late.

I typically avoid human males when given the chance.

Githyaki is interesting. I have plans for a tiefling. I find the drow interesting, but I've played lots of Dunmer in skyrim so not sure if I'll resort to that. Given my interest in the lack of an available Daedra player option, I might chose more Tiefling characters in the future to make up for that.

Dwarves are also awesome, but a little over used imo. They're awesome to have in your party, but not the kind of character I'd chose to play as.

Back in D&D 3.5, I took the monster manual out, and turned the Centaur into a playable character. It wasn't in the list of playable races at that point so I had to convert on my own (and was a little overpowered, honestly. I wound up with an AC of 21 starting out LOL)

Too bad there are no centaurs here. That'd be so awesome.

I'm curious to know what plans any of you guys have for different characters. My main OC is an elf though, so he's my first go-to. After that I'll be branching out and doing some fun stuff.

I'd be interested in turning this thread into more of a "what kind of plans do you have for new characters" topic. :P

I'm remember parties where there was basically no human at all because people don't like vanilla
Humans are cool
Respect humans

Humans beings are a desease. A cancer on this planet. You are a plague. And we, are the cure.

Well it wasn't news then and it's still not news now. All it is, is fuel for grifters on both sides of the political isle.

I think people are missing the point of this post. Kind of ironic.

If the final result was a black women/man this wouldn't even be discussed.
So what big brain "Point" did I miss?

This is just low key racism, even if the community is to stupid to see it because they want to "play mah videogame"

Feel free to REEEEEEE at me

[Burdpal]

Wooooosh.

That was the sound of a joke going over your head.

God people are retarded.

That victimhood mentality. You give credence to huwhite fragility. Developer made joke and you poor alt reichers got mad. So uh just remember that when you mock the left for getting triggered at jokes because look in the mirror.

Let me simplify it for you and everyone else

we live in a time where "Diversity" is thee most important thing to some of these weirdos.
From the mouths of the people that claim this, its because "Minorities" need representation to be able to identify with a character.

Ok, if we work with that logic...then what's the clear outcome of having a majority male and white player base?

the "Vault Dweller" as they call it. After all, you can only identify with someone who looks and acts like you...

No, the developers instead come back with "lol, really? How boring"

not to mention NO ONE has addressed my point about how this would never have been said if the result was a black dude, no horns, scars, other noticeable feature...just a black dude.

Can you imagine if the result was a black woman and the developers came back with "WOW, really guys? C'mon...you can do better"

So to everyone who's not addressed my points, claims some fantastic and witty point was made that I missed or simple makes a simple one sentence comment to "Pawn me".

You're an idiot

Victimhood mentality? Really don't think you want to start that up here, I'm asking for the developers and everyone to simply STFU about skin colour. LOL, you'd be ♥♥♥♥♥ and whining and trying to get the game cancelled if it had been a joke and stab at the LGBTHDUWKJRN++2 alphabet people, or any other protected class of people.

"Riechers"? really dude? I guess that's to be expected, anyone (even a black person) is a YAZI to you people nowadays...as long as they say something you don't like

I thought race didn't matter, guess I'm a relic of a bygone age...

As before, feel free to continue to REEEEEEE at me
