Baldur’s Gate 3 Gets A New Appearance Changing Item And Full Mac Support
Baldur’s Gate 3 has just received its third major update, and its one that character perfectionists will undoubtedly appreciate. Patch 3 went live earlier today with a welcome new feature in tow called the Magic Mirror that players can use to change their appearance at will.
“Tucked away in your camp, exuding a certain ‘we found this at a vintage fair and it’s too fancy for our current home’ energy, is an item called the Magic Mirror. Tales have been told of its legendary ability to permanently alter the appearance of one who gazes into it.”
While the magical new item will allow you to easily change your appearance anytime you want, it does come with a few restrictions. You’ll be able to change your appearance, pronouns, voice, and gender but not your race/subrace and body type. Origin characters, full Illithids, and hirelings won’t be able to use the feature. Any cosmetic changes made to your character as a result of in-game decisions will also be unchangeable.
The latest update also adds full Mac support and introduces a long list of game improvements, tweaks, and fixes. “As with the PC release in August, saves made in previous versions of BG3 on Mac will not be compatible with the full release,” Larian Studios notes. “To prepare your Mac for the full version of Baldur’s Gate 3 and minimise potential compatibility issues, we recommend you fully uninstall the game and remove any mods before installing the latest version.”
Details can be found in the full patch notes on the Baldur’s Gate 3 official site.
With Patch 3 comes the Magic Mirror, which lives in your camp and allows you to change your Tav’s appearance whenever you’d like!
