Even if you’re playing with a rule that you won’t replay failed dice rolls, you should still save often just to be safe. Save with F5 (or go into the menus if you want to do it the slow way) frequently, especially after fights, before dialogues etc. If you don’t save often you’ll live to regret it, either because you fail a super important dice roll and can’t live with the results, or because you lose a massive fight and realize you have to trek a really long ways because of it.

If you’re going for Variety, this could be important. I think it would be fun to play a Dwarf or a Gnome or a Halfling just to change things up.

Something to consider: None of your Companions are small. Of course, in other areas being some other race will be more helpful (or more of a hindrance).Ĭhoosing a race also nets you various benefits, resistances, and so forth, and you’ll spend a lot of time looking at your character so you should probably pick someone you enjoy looking at. I am playing a Tiefling Bard and in the opening area you encounter a ton of Tieflings, and you sharing that heritage allows you all sorts of special dialogue options. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I and my beautiful, beautiful bob have things to do.Race does have an impact on your available choices throughout the game.

It truly seems like Larian went out of their way to make a game where you could look however you want, and I have to commend them for that. I don’t feel as though it’s my place to definitively say whether or not the game accomplished this, but I will say this: I’ve seen more variety and diversity in this collection of hair, including the updates, than I have with most games. Now, one of the biggest questions is whether or not this game also does a good job representing Black hair, as this tends to be a shortcoming of many games. ALL of these are new! Larian didn’t have to go above and beyond, but they did, and I love them to death for it! Look at how CUTE these options are, oh my god! I ultimately went with the last option, as it’s the closest to my real cut, and it feels so good to see a character that looks even vaguely like me running around.
