Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 3 now live, lets you change your character's appearance
The third major patch for Baldur's Gate 3 is now being rolled out, and it includes the long-awaited Magic Mirror feature.
Players can now change their character's appearance by finding the Magic Mirror in camp. Everything other than race and subrace of your character can be altered — though it also can't be used to get rid of any «cosmetic modifications that are a consequence of your gameplay choices». Also, origin characters, hirelings and full illithids can't use the Magic Mirror.
Patch three has also added full support for the game on Mac, with Larian Studios recommending any players on Mac remove any mods and reinstall the game fresh before playing.
In classic Larian fashion, the patch notes once again exceed Steam's text limit and contain some entries which made me chuckle. Spoiler warning — here's a few of my favourites below.
That last one is by far the most important.
Bulking out the majority of the patch notes are fixes, balancing tweaks, and adjustments to smooth the game's experience out, particularly towards the latter stages of the campaign. Platform cross-play is not included in this patch, but Larian has stated it's on the roadmap for Baldur's Gate 3.
You can read the full patch notes from Larian on its website.
The recent Microsoft leak revealed that Microsoft estimated it would cost $5m to get Baldur's Gate 3 on Game Pass, with the company dubbing the game a «second-run Stadia PC RPG». Larian responded in understanding, with director of publishing Michael Douse stating it «comes with the genre».
Patch #3 is now live for Baldur's Gate 3!
This update brings the full release of Baldur’s Gate 3 to Mac, and allows you to change your character’s appearance in-game via the Magic Mirror. ✨
