Divinity Developers Promise Enhanced Character Creation Beyond Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 set a high standard with its extensive character customization, allowing players to dive deep into personalizing everything from their character’s race to intricate details. With the upcoming Divinity, Larian Studios promises to elevate this experience even further. According to art director Alena Dubrovina in a Reddit AMA, players can look forward to “even better” customization options, boasting more colors, choices, and control. This is a tall order, especially given the already impressive character creation system in Baldur’s Gate 3, which includes unique biological traits based on race and customizable facial features. Just when you think you’ve perfected your character, the game also lets you create a Spirit Guardian, a companion that will visit you in dreams. Divinity was first revealed at The Game Awards last year, and since then, more information has trickled out. Co-op gameplay will be available at launch, and in light of concerns regarding generative AI, studio CEO Swen Vincke assured fans that Divinity will not include “any GenAI art.” Following the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, Vincke acknowledged the increased expectations on Larian but expressed confidence that Divinity will surpass its predecessor “on all fronts.”
