Recreating my D&D characters in Baldur's Gate 3

[@natalyiatimoshenkova1273]

On the off chance you haven't discovered it, the "Greying" option for the hair isn't just for greying - you can tint the hair with another color, making a deeper black, or brighter white or whatever else.

[@codyvandal2860]

Also really useful if you want your drow to have darker color eyebrows

[@TheMeta141]

it technically works as highlights

[@ether4211]

​@@TheMeta141or lowlights! I use it to make PCs with dirty hair

[@ivyr336]

@@TheMeta141 There's highlights as well. Greying will go from the roots while highlights will go from the ends. Intensity will control how far it has spread across the hair

[@epicureanbard]

Came to the comments for this exact suggestion

[@druig_ru]

Let’s face it: All of us are going to spend our first 3 hours of Baldur's Gate 3 on character creation.

[@Roccondil]

I would say that would be true if they had added in-depth body/face-sculpting tools. But instead there's only a few premade body/face shapes you can choose from.

[@Invindication]

I spent a good amount trying to make my dnd character and it worked pretty well so ur not wrong on my end lol

[@TheMeta141]

no..................we just decided we didn't want the character we made so scrapped 10 or so hours of work and started again

[@davidparkes7741]

3 hours?? Rookie numbers, lol.

[@MayHugger]

Only 3? I wish that were all it took.

[@alinageorge2681]

If we aren’t using fantasy games as doll makers are we truly creatives? 😆😆

[@annbrookens945]

The answer is obviously NO!

[@brizzyvoices]

LOVE THIS. STEALING THIS. SO FUN.

[@davidparkes7741]

Ooh, I'd be down to see your characters in BG3's character creator.

[@EmilyRitcheson]

"I'm gonna take a game that took six years and four hundred people to make and I'm gonna use it as a dollmaker." Honestly, power move.

[@dylanmahaffey8920]

You can always tell a D&D player by how they talk about their characters as if they are real people. This got me and my friends in trouble at a previous job when someone overheard us talking about our characters and thought we had witnessed an actual murder.

[@inkarozu2309]

BG3 content I'd like to see from you: A full let's play series of you just enjoying the game naturally. No chat influencing decisions or trying to go fast to get videos up regularly. Just record hours upon hours of your natural experience and put them up as you go.

[@ramune1731]

this would be so cool

[@KnightsofTuveHall]

Yes! Na'Krasha & Elliwyn adventures go! After that an evil AF play-through with Augury would be dope.

[@34Xboxaddict]

Let's GOOOOO

[@KingRo22]

Yess am evil play through would be dope

[@GarethOfByzantium]

Oh, dear…

[@JackJohnson-zh9ul]

given the nature of the dream guardian, making Elliwyn in that role is extremely funny

[@Lord_zeel]

My thoughts exactly.

[@danielmclellan1522]

I'm afraid to ask... since the first random generation was already pretty close to her appearance, I kinda made Penelope as my guardian because I didn't know it was going to be important, and I thought it would be funny to have Ginny's adorable little Barbarian be the one looking after my massive green Dragonborn barbarian's brains - is that going to get awkward for me later?

[@JackJohnson-zh9ul]

@@danielmclellan1522 at the risk of sounding cryptic I’ll say this, the humor comes from the fact that this choice doesn’t really matter, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just let it pan out and you’ll see. Let’s just say that the guardian may not always be 100% honest with you. I can’t really elaborate without spoiling it so I’ll leave it there lol

[@RockoEstalon]

@@JackJohnson-zh9ul More than funny, I think it makes the [REDACTED] a pretty fucked up and manipulative character, not that he needs helps in that regard mind you.

[@bigtenor62]

I totally agree!

[@liqaro]

I love the character creation in BG3 but, I have to admit, I would have loved to see sliders for facial structures as well. That would have been amazing to customize our characters even more to how we envision them.

[@myniapyskonia7742]

I would loooove to see you actually play the game for the first time. Individuals like yourself, passionate about DnD, roleplay and storytelling, are simply a joy to watch discover this gem of a game. Joining you on that adventure would be an absolute honor and a privilege! And if you don't feel like sharing that private time with the internet, I'd love to see a video about your thoughts on the game once you finish it!

[@konradstanczyk5158]

My thoughts exactly ;) It would be awesome to watch Ginny play this masterpiece. Or even just watch her create her character, lol

[@9Johnny8]

@@konradstanczyk5158Cue Ginny loading up all appearance mods possible to get just that bit closer to her mental view of her characters...

I sincerely hope they release more hairstyle options for the character creator in a future patch.

If you can run BG3, you can run BG3 modded, it's really not hard to mod.@@madi5194

[@gc6240]

There's a good chance they will! They added a lot more customization options to their prev. game Divinity Original Sin 2 as a free update/DLC. And BG3 is SOOOO much more popular. I have faith!

[@santosic]

​@@gc6240I wouldn't be surprised if it coincides with the ability to officially change your character's appearance mid-game. That would be a great time to release new customization options as well

[@DexteroExplosion]

The way she said, "I don't want True Strike." I feel that.

[@lukesandadordoceu4835]

All. All BG3 content. Seriously, more character creation, full gameplay, funny clips, anything and everything

[@KalarMeadia]

Full let's play with natural reactions, followed by more cut videos of your full impressions of each of the Origin characters (including Dark Urge, which means two playthroughs for you.)

[@dragoninthewest1]

I am a DM with BG3. After watching this, I went and did the same for my group's 5 PCs. I was annoyed there was no soul patch goatee for the Barbarian or the limited scarring option for the Necromancer's face.

[@DystopianOverture]

My first BG3 character was my dnd character I currently play in partner's homebrew that's a Tiefling rogue. It's a lot of fun having 2 ways to play the same character and play about with roleplaying ideas. The whole idea that it's alt realties is fun for me.

[@frato21]

I played dnd for 10 years now, I created hundreds of PC's as a player and even more NPC's as DM. Still when I had to creat my PC in BG3 I spent like 2 hrs and a half trying different combinations. Glad the menu saved the aspect and class of a PC if you switch to another race.

[@buhoahogado2993]

Haven't played the game but whenever I can the first thing I am going to do is this exactly: create versions of my actual D&D PCs.

[@friendlywraith611]

love making new characters in this game. I've spent dozens of hours on the Nautiloid lol.

[@gottes1stsenpai30]

The place we call home 🙏

[@theclockworkheart]

i don't really have time to watch full let's plays (especially of a game like bg3 which is ENORMOUS) but when people cut together fun pieces from their playthroughs (either to create a cohesive story without a lot of the running around and minor encounters; or just a mish mash of stuff) i really, really love it! it's soooo much editing work so i get why it's not as popular or attainable, but realistically that's the kind of video i'd sit down to watch all the way through. i think it'd be really interesting to see you roleplay your way through the game, since i think a lot of other popular streamers probably don't focus on the rp- and character-side of things as much! either way i hope you have fun with the game!!! 🥰(also maybe if you ever mod the game down the line, seeing your takes on the characters with mods (maybe able to land more accurately to what you envision with more choices) could be fun too!)

[@jamiemcdonough6548]

Thanks for the fun video, Ginny Di. It's also cool that this happens to be a video of making video game PC characters in Baldur's Gate 3 based on your personal OC characters. Good for you. This video holds a special place in my heart, even if only by default, but I'm still crediting you with saving my sanity. For the last two weeks or so I've been watching KZbin videos where some I could hear just fine, but others it sounded like I was going deaf, or the volume was on the lowest setting next to mute or close to the lowest setting. I thought I might need to replace my headphones, but they worked fine depending on what I was listening. I had also wondered if I'd accidently lowered one of the volume controls on my laptop. So, finally I'm watching this video today and I try hovering over the video and turning up the volume of this video. My KZbin videos in general volume. And now of course I can hear things clear as day. So, for what it's worth, Thank you. Just to prove I was paying attention my favorite part of your video was the fact that you couldn't give Augury a bird skull amulet, but you could give her bird skull earrings.

[@Hrafnskald]

"Oh there's little bird sculls!" Love that authentic villain energy, you do you(r PCs & NPCs) :)

[@VegaHawk769]

I would love to see a character creator that allows you to place your own face on the character Maybe even one that can do the full body And then make the esthetic edits to match the race and class

[@juno9223]

I did this backwards… I made my BG3 character and then made her for a game! Her name’s Tymori, she’s a blue dragonborn rogue and I love her more than life herself

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

6:23 Oh thank goodness, it's not just me! I feel like i end up defaulting to Outlander or Far Wanderer for so many of my characters, because "They've travelled a long way from home" is how most adventurers seem to start out!

[@juvia1118]

About the ad: I LOVE your hair and your armour/clothes having the same tones. ❤

[@kablueyjoe]

“Half my characters have Outlander background” never been so called out before.

[@marybdrake1472]

Ginny actually has a Gnome Barbarian, I love everything about that.

[@joesgotmore]

I made a Half Orc Monk named, Woe Souli. Basically half wood elf and half orc. His journey is to temper his violent orc nature through his way of the 4 elements monk practice. He has taken a liking to Lae'zel for her direct and forceful nature. Seeing a lot of himself in her but driven with a purpose. No spoilers but for my character or perhaps me as the player can see her conviction may have consequences that Woe Souli would want to steer her away from. Also, can't wait to her how your BG3 adventure goes. I have so many cool moments already and I only just got to act 2.

[@Nekopolitan_]

I also made a half orc (half elf even tho it's not possible in game but who cares) she's a storm sorceress and my companion is Astarion and we're both evil mfkers >:)

using your characters in a RP lets play and you voice out their lines in character sounds pretty nice for a stream XD

[@hoid9407]

I think seeing you play it and giving insight into things you like for home game use would be fun. Probably not breaking new ground, but you're a respected creator and commentator on how to run table sessions. Additionally, seeing your genuine reactions to each of the Acts and how you personally navigate them would be fun. It's really a totally different game for different people.

[@LexIconLS]

In defense of the Outlander background, it's honestly one of the more consistently useful backgrounds in 5e.

[@annak1042]

I loved your cover of "Weeping Dawn"; it would be amazing to also see a Ginny Di original song based on one of the BG3 Origin Characters at some point!

[@lamMeTV]

09:06 this is what the highlights and graying options are for! When you find the right base tone but it needs to be a *little* lighter

[@fenfaerie]

Character creation and using the game to play through my ever-expanding wishlist of characters I want to play are the best parts of the game. Also I am screaming over Na'Krasha and Elliwyn being canon!

[@cassiebanks]

I know it took Ginny a long time to make those characters, but this has probably been my favorite video of hers (and I love the music videos). It's the same Critical Role effect where you have people who create D&D characters and suddenly they come to life in an animated way. Very cool. Would love to see some gameplay and whether Ginny makes choices based on her character or based on not dying in Baulder's Gate.

[@eddiemarohl5789]

I love how so far my characters have either been recreations of funny cast from various dnd shorts or videos or the most egregious looking abomination possible with the most normal looking companion or vise versa

[@probablythedm1669]

I think an edited summary of your adventure could be really fun! Like retelling a tabletop session, but with game fotage to support the retelling. Maybe give it a 15-20 minute video about the opening area and start of act 1, then see how it performs? You could even VA one of your original characters! 🤓

[@TimothyBrannan]

Looking forward to some playthroughs with your iconic characters here AND how they react/interact with the BG3 characters. Na'Krasha and Karlach team up!

[@toysoldierfrost]

You could totally use multiplayer "exploit" or whatever you want to call it to make these four into a party and play the game as them.

BG3 is showing all the freedom and fun you can have in D&D, so do a whole playthrough with darkness, shadows and light and show it! Of course we need explosions, jumps, lovestories, all the good stuff ;-)

[@marco1941]

That’s cool, I’m gonna do it the other way around. I just got into D&D because of Baldur’s Gate 3 and last night I built my first character (woodelf, ranger) and now I want to build him in real life D&D as well and see which one performs better in his adventures 😂 Really cool cosplay by the way.

[@LucyBean42]

OMG, I did the same thing with my dream Guardian. I ran my Halfling Thief Bean, and mad her dream Guardian modeled after Halete, her enby Beau. I really like that you can make the dream Guardian like that.

[@the_algorithm]

To make hair True White or Black you need to click on the "Grey" buttons... chose the appropriate color and then MAX that slider bar. You'll see how it automatically darkens (or lightens) the color to be more of a True White/Black instead of a washed out grey variant (Edit: I'm referring to the extra options below the main color)

[@liquidwood4064]

[@dechha1981]

I haven’t even found karlach yet and she’s already my favourite follower just from a few youtube videos I found of her. It’s the contrast between her succubus-like appearance and her adorkable flirting style. You’re looking for Baldur’s Gate cosplay suggestions? That.

Play it with Na'Krasha. The game is awesome with a barbarian main character. Especially if you have the barbarian companion in the party, too.
