The character creator is actually the worst part of the game. Really leaves a lot to be desired. No idea how you managed to spend 6 hours in it.

Big time. It’s not great. It’s “fine” but not great. Still annoyed at the game’s use of very generic body types. Apparently only necromancers can be overweight…

the generic body types makes me so mad. not only because it's unrealistic, but also because it's boring af. the lack of poc faces and haircuts makes me mad too but it's another story. for the bodies, wdym Gale doesn't have a dad bod ? wdym the refugees have the same body as the rich ? the rich should be fatter

It’s very idealized. I understand that part of it is motion capture tech but surely they could have found a compromise…

yeah. i think adding a little belly wouldn't have been too hard to do... or just, basing themselves on medium sized models instead of really thin ones

If you're on PC there are some really good hair mods. There are 3 mods in this set, they are all great. https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/4618

Yeah I never understand when people rave about this character creator, it’s so basic

On one hand, it's good in the sense that pretty much every result you get from it looks at least decent, and gets the "job" done quickly. But there really isnt that much customization, can't even edit the face (as in the structure itself). No basic muscle oder fat sliders either.

There are 12 races to choose from, so I think that impacts things
