Larian 'Cooking' Ability to Change Baldur's Gate 3 Character Appearance In-Game

If you are a Baldur’s Gate 3 player, frustrated that you cannot change your character’s appearance, fear not; Larian Studios has confirmed that the feature is in the works.

The confirmation came from Michael Douse, the Director of Publishing at Larian Studios, who confirmed in a post on the social media platform X.

“Things are being cooked,” Douse replied after a user requested the feature.

As it stands, once you lock in your character’s appearance, you can’t change it. That includes your hairstyle, your tattoos… all of it. So if you’re not happy with your Tiefling’s undercut, you’ll just have to deal with it. Thankfully, it seems like that won’t be the case for much longer.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has become a mega-hit for Larian Studios after exiting Early Access earlier this month, surpassing over 500K players on Steam with a PS5 version set to release next month and an Xbox Series X/S version currently in development.

In the weeks following its full version release, the community has been busy sharing their thoughts on the virtual world of Baldur’s Gate. Such as community discourse about saving scumming, to players thinking of creative ways to deal huge damage in combat, and debating whether or not players can “fix” Shadowheart.
