I don’t like playing human-like characters because I don’t feel represented by the available options so I always go for the least human option which I can make look pretty (to be more like me UwU). I think my issue is I played the act 1 so much during the beta, I cannot make myself go through this again. But I guess I will force myself to soon, because my Internet is running low!
Got it! BG3/DnD is pretty human looking focused with all the half-human races and very human looking races (like Gnomes and Dwarfs), which is shame in cases as yours, so it really seems that the Dragonborn is your best bet. I usually play Orcs but Half-Orcs just aint that unfortunately, although I adore Dwarves as well so it’s fine for .
Sounds like it, yeah. I have a really hard time replaying parts of games which is why I avoid early access and the likes usually. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to play BG3 near launch, but I pirated the game to try it out and then it sucked me in and I bought it the next day.
My main issue is I’m what I’d call anatomically nonbinary and the male and female body presets don’t represent me. By now I’m used to playing lizardmen tbh, that’s what I did in ESO as well. ^ ^’
Got it! So how do you usually play RPG games with character choice? You said your first character was a half elf warlock and then you switched to a dragonborn cleric, what made you choose the half elf at first and what made you switch to the dragonborn?
And if you don’t mind me asking, have you ever encountered a game which had the perfect character creator to build a character that actually represents you?
I chose half-elf due to attractive faces and relating to the lore of not fitting in. I switched off, because apparently half elf is the most played. I don’t like playing mages in turn based combat games. I chose warlock for the lore of being bound with an archfey, but I sus you don’t ever see your bound entity anyway so I went cleric since it was the least chosen and they deal some sweet DPS AND heal.
Most old Asian mmorpgs had character creators full of sliders for everything where you actually had the ability to make what or who you wanted. I.e. perfect world. Nowadays character creators have far less options and all the available ones are very strictly aligned with gender roles. I wouldn’t call BG3 character creation to be inclusive of nonbinary bodies at all and I doubt I am the only person in the world with zero tits and all the thighs and a cute face.
I see! Yea, I saw that too, that half elf is one if not the most picked race. There are also a lot of high elf characters in general in the game when it comes to NPCs. More than I would have thought. I suspect you’re right when it comes to warlocks. I have a Cleric in my party and I absolutely love their role in my party. I have a hard time switching them out for story events because of their usefulness so I think Cleric is a great choice.
Interesting. So what do you think about having body types be called Body A/B instead of male/female? Just pandering or does it help you identifying with your character more?
I don’t find it relevant to myself, because neither represents me. I don’t think it’s my place to speak as a nonbinary person, because it’s a very binary choice which doesn’t represent my body type.
I expected as much, although I’m absolutely fine with taking gender names out of body type choices. But as long as those gender types are binary and look exactly like typical male and female bodies there’s not much of an upside to having them be named A and B. As always there needs to be more customization to include everyone.
I just don’t get why customization is regressing. The quality isn’t increasing with the limitations so it only hurts minorities. Most games with customization don’t allow free selection of skin, eye and hair colors. The brown and black options are always heavily lacking. I hate it so much.
I am aching for some good beastfolk. Like yeah, I can finally run the CG Drow Warlock that got laughed out of an IRL brick-and-mortar a decade and a half ago, but my character design preferences have gone so far past the core four(human, elf, dwarf, orc) since then that it’s actually kind of hard for me to make mundane humanoids again
That sucks, that it is becoming harder for you. Maybe mods will help, when they inevitably come. Although you should obviously be able to get representation without mods.
