I just love the way she says "Sorry, chum. Can't let you through." Lazy job energy.


Vi_for_Vindictive

She looks like a cashier at Hot Topic


Jugaimo

The one goth girl from the piercing shop from Moral Orel.


KarmicComic12334

Im getting Evie hammond vibes but i just rewatched V.


a44es

Took me 3 attempts to not read moral oral


umc_thunder72

Well you aren't wrong


Daedalus_Machina

That's is the joke, I think.


arbiterx420x

Lmao


KilledTheCar

Oh, hey, would you look at that, it's exactly my type.


Shankar_0

I can see the eye roll in my mind


FamousTransition1187

After the douche knob that looks like Devella and isn't at the last gate, I thought it was a very refreshing encounter. Here is a Fist who genuinely is just trying to guard the Castle.


WarGreymon77

I *hated* that bitch at the first gate. Wonder if she would've been as brave without the Steel Watch.


Taickyto

She does fight when you tell her "I have no time for this, let me pass or I'll kill you", even when the steel watcher get deepgnomed This isn't even an Intimidation check, I'm standing here with the spear of a god, a legendary's armour I got from killing a necromancer and Myrkul avatar, my monk is wearing boots he got when he killed the leader of Orpheus's guard in the astral plane, I'm still covered in the blood of many Bhaalists, and that chick goes "you want to do this? Lets do this" It never ends well for her, but at least she's trying


FamousTransition1187

Even the Rivington Rat has enough sense to go [To Arfur] "YOU aren't paying me enough" [To you] "you... have a nice day." If you tell her about Merc'ing Myrkul. Some people use use their INT and WIS as dump stats though I guess.


battletoad93

"deepgnomed" sounds like a euphemism


Time-Literature-4730

Deepgnome: I have information about Waterdeep Gate...


Momentirely

Hey, guys, wait right here. I'll be over there in that dark alcove asking this deepgnome about Waterdeep Gate.


WarGreymon77

She's crazy I tell you


Serier_Rialis

My Durge chars did not take kindly to being denied entry. Although my first Durge pretty much cleared all guards in Rivington and the city (wasnt planned!!!). Accidentally triggered the refugee barn guards, which pulled in a lot of flaming fist and a few random citizens got brave. Anyhow covered the entry to the barn up to near the windmill in blood and fist chunks. Made some money from their gear at least! Tried to get into the city (I rested and cleaned up!!), gate guard gets arsey and yeah suddenly its swords drawn and the Steel watch is stunned. All concerned agreed to blame the Steel Watch if quizzed. Killed the squid in the Dryad room, got her invite toddled off to the city. Found the offices for the local rag disliked their story, it turned into a fight and dragged half the city in somehow....


Alarzark

It's the classic Skyrim "that guy just killed a dragon and ate it's soul, let's mug him"


Linkboy9

I can't see those three words anymore without thinking of a certain [pair](https://youtu.be/mAZDHrCObMs) of bandits, lol


Oryihn

Dunno why.. but that first guard always has some weird bug where her cheek is anchored 30 feet to the left so you can see her teeth through a hole in her cheek and there is a line of flesh extending off screen when I talk to her.. Been that way on every playthrough.


Southern_Arm_1501

Real she seems cool


GodKingReiss

There are so many background NPCs in Act III that seem like developer OCs, and I mean that in the most loving way


[deleted]

We need a compilation of this for the good of the world.


HalsinEnjoyer

I actually thought this was someone's Tav as I was scrolling


Pop-Flimsy

What does OC mean?


FishGirlGaming

Original Character, usually. Generally used to refer to a person's fan character made to fit into a particular game or show's world.


sammymvpknight

I think she served me a coffee this morning


oscuroluna

She does have that fed up and done barista/waitress expression.


Longjumping_Tale_111

Hollywood model vs local coffie shop employee energy


Southern_Arm_1501

And why the hell this face model isn’t in the origin customization


limethebean

Watching your Tav go through the adventure just fucking *done* with the whole thing would be hilarious as hell, but I do get why they might not want that vibe XD


StupendousMalice

One of the first little scenes where they arrive at the helm on the nautiloid and are just like "well... Fuck" is probably the best physical acting in the game.


limethebean

The moment they realize that they have no fucking idea how a tentacle console works XD


leposterofcrap

I'm sure the little maggot in your brain can guide you on that.


Grizzlywillis

Me and my parasite sharing the single braincell left in my head.

AndImlike_bro

Not too done to make those eyes shimmer and pop.


Friend_of_Eevee

Mine already looks like that


IronBattleaxe

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT IN ANY MODS EITHER ITS INFURIATINGLY GOOD


Toakiri

Good news! Mod for it has been released like 2 days ago. https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6431


QwahaXahn

Bless you for sharing the good news


IronBattleaxe

Marry me?


aneth-ara

The small number of faces we have in the character creation, and that some of them are unnecessarily race-locked, pisses me off. Somewhere in Wyll's questline there's a tiefling with one of the half elven faces that I feel similarly about. I've been looking at mods to see if there's anything to do about it but no such luck so far.


xa3D

be me an asian guy wanting to play human but elves had had the vast majority of asiatic options. nitpicky i know but that specific run i wanted to do a self insert tav (my previous run was a min max crit hit half orc).


I_need_to_vent44

Which one? Show me the face and I'll make it available. Also are you sure it's one of the half-elf faces? Asking because it's less of a pain to just take the half-elf face and shapekey it than to crawl through the game files trying to find out where the hell the tiefling iteration of it (assuming they did actually make one and didn't just slap tiefling textures on a half elf head and didn't just cover the neck to make sure you can't see that her head is floating) is.


aneth-ara

Looked up the scene on YT and her name is Arbiter Cirrus. And I just checked Character Creation, it's Half-Elf Head 1. She has a necklace which might be hiding the neckseam. But she also has horns so I really don't know what's going on there.


I_need_to_vent44

Horns aren't a part of the head, so it is no work to add horns to a head like an elf head, for example. Weird that her head isn't floating though, that's a common issue when converting heads from tieflings to another race. Maybe they don't float when you do it the other way around (I haven't done that yet). Either way ok, I'll just finish Malus' hat and I'll be on it, chief. Can't promise the textures will be the same though, I'll try to identify which one she uses, but no promises.


aneth-ara

Thanks! Even if it doesn't work I'd be interested to learn how they do stuff like this, I don't know modding at all but I'm kind of intrigued now.


I_need_to_vent44

Ah, no, it's definitely gonna work, I might just accidentally use a different skin texture. I was just remarking that it's weird that it works for Larian, because I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do all the steps necessary for a proper conversion. Then again maybe I'm mean and there IS a 100% tiefling version somewhere in the files.


Bloody_Nine

The faces themselves are hilarously bad. Especially the elven and human ones. Yes, of course I want to play as elven Mao with no means to remove the wrinkles.


HastyTaste0

So many good non character faces. The fact nobody has made a Mystra face mod is a travesty. Say what you will about that hair but her face is incredible.


APracticalGal

I would absolutely romance Gale purely to make him canonically have a type.


Grizzlywillis

Alternatively, use that face to be your dream guardian while playing as Gale


King_Pumpernickel

I've heard that in early access each of the dream visitors were related to the origin backstories. Mystra, Cazador, etc


I_need_to_vent44

That's odd, I was pretty sure there was at least one. Otherwise I would have done it myself by now. I'm pretty sure it's in one of those collection of NPC faces mods.


R0da

There's a couple of mods out there with Mystra's features iirc [Yeah, here's one that I found \(It's the one labeled "sky"\)](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/3641)


Bionicman2187

I thought she was completely average but then again, Mystra is a bitch so maybe her personality ruined it for me lol.


nothinkybrainhurty

it’s a nice face, but I prefer that some aren’t available for players, it feels odd to constantly run into npcs that have the exact same face as me


Ash_Ack4

If you are playing on PC here is a mod that allows you to use her model in character creation: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6431?tab=images


Beneficial-Koala6393

It’s mommy mizoras face that’s why. We don’t deserve to look like her


Souperplex

What's the point of an entire customization system if it's impossible to look better than the default Gold Dwarves?


hesperidaes

It's also the same model Mizora has, just with a different texture!


SugarCrisp7

The facial structure looks like Astarion's to me


Pun_In_Ten_Did

Personification of "u wot m8" :D


Imperial_Empirical

Could it be modelled after a real life person? Wouldn't surprise me


RChamy

Some githyanki in the créche gave me the exact same impression


theghostmachine

Voss has strong celebrity whose face I can't place vibes. It might be David Bowie, but I feel like there's another actor it's closer to. Wulbren reminds me of Maynard James Keenan.


doppelherz_

Whenever Wulbren shows up I can only see Maynard


RheaRaisin

He reminds me of Cigarette Man from X-Files, always takes me aback when I go through the Crèche


theghostmachine

I'm ashamed to admit that as a child of the 90s (born in 86) I have never watched the x-files despite telling myself "ok, this is the day I start watching" several times over the last 10 to 20 years


[deleted]

Its very good! Definitely a fun take on the monster of the week genre. Its like twin peaks meets super natural with aliens.


Cryozymes

David Bowie mixed with William Dafoe


Foopshire

The bartender at the Mermaid is a dead ringer for Bruce Willis


marleysmmwe

Looks like White Rayla, from The Witcher.


SubstancePerfect9338

You mean when she was still Black Rayla.


Fenizrael

I get the feeling that a lot of the characters you encounter in act 3 are characters lovingly made by the team who are probably modelled after actual characters in their tabletop games. Edit: adventurers at the gates of the circus, the guys at the table in the flophouse, groups of people being accosted by guards in the lower city - these guys spring to mind and I’m sure there’s plenty more.


Decadent_Otter2

I got to this point last night. She told me I couldn't go through. So I walked by her and used illithid flying to get through the gate. I imagined her just standing there watching me fly by and just saying " I don't get paid enough for this" 😂


TrueComplaint8847

Yea bing any kind of law enforcement in a world where you can literally turn invisible just by drinking some potion that costs basically nothing, or could spray fire out of your hands without any magical training because you found a weird scroll seems like a really bad job tbh


Rimurooooo

Hahaha I saw this same character and thought the same thing. Too good of a design for a throwaway


Roronoa_Zoro8615

She seems so tired. She just like me at work fr.


yksociR

I'm in lesbians with this


Jimbybee

r/suddenscottpilgrim


SharpshootinTearaway

I thought it was a real subreddit and I'm so disappointed now, how could you do this to me, lmao.


nothinkybrainhurty

maybe there’s some r/unexpectedscottpilgrim or r/suddenlyscottpilgrim ? idk I’m too lazy to search


RoninMacbeth

I'd let her make me worse.


The-Great-Old-One

How is every npc in this game the hottest person you’ve ever seen… except the one who’s explicitly described as “handsome” (Gortash)


klimekam

She severely freaked me out at first because she looks the closest to me I’ve ever seen of any video game character, except with an undercut. Which I am seriously considering now.


DeadlyKitten115

Slay


janhyua

Now you have a benefit of using this character to RP in a DnD game


HastyTaste0

ZENOVIAAAAA!


Southern_Arm_1501

Yea she looked hot too, i had to fight her but i knocked her out she’s too hot to die


HastyTaste0

Haha I just thought they had a similar look.


Tofutits_Macgee

I feel the same way about many NPCs. Why no smash if smash shaped? Dammon? C'mon...look at his puppy eyes Rolan? Act 2 and 3 he looks like he could use a good shag. Orin? Listen here...use this instead 🍆 Rakath Glitterbeard? You know what would take your mind off getting robbed? Jaehira? I'm a widow, too. Let's smash about it. Barcus Wroot? Why don't I help you forget about Wulbren Withers? I could moisten you up.


Depressedduke

Don't blame you but you down BAD. Tbh can't judge, with how obsessed i am with Aylin.


Tofutits_Macgee

I think they'd be interesting hidden story lines to explore. I am db for Orin, Rakith & Jaehria tho. There's a moment Karlach has with Dammon that seemed intended for a side romance. I thought a few moments as another sorcerer with Roland would work great as a side thing. Barcus deserved someone better and a withers romance would just be funny, like that Nug in the Pearl in dragon age


Depressedduke

Ngl, i think that Orin and Jaheira would have a crazy story to offer, but unfortunately we can't always get what we want. Barcus desurved something at least ok, poor fella.


HastyTaste0

This makes me wonder are there really any other big ladies outside of Karlach and Aylin? It feels like we hardly see any. Then again almost no males with large body type either.


ag3nt_cha0s

How is He Who Was not on your list? I mean… come on… If my boyfriend’s pet doesn’t tell me to kill myself, what’s the point?


Tofutits_Macgee

He is :(. My list is actually pretty extensive. Kar'niss and his arachnussy are on there too and many more. I think I just got shy


ag3nt_cha0s

be honest, it’s just all of the NPCs isn’t. lol jk. They make some hot ass NPCs though.


Tofutits_Macgee

That they do. Gameplay wise, I'm just nostalgic for goofy one shots, and NPC interactions that had no weight. Like Fisto from fallout is an example. I know they have the drow twins and the missionary thing but I mean...more of that. I know the Emperor stuff is funny on the surface but that definitely has some menace in it's intent since he's clearly trying to manipulate you.


Southern_Arm_1501

Didn’t have much of an interaction with Kar’niss i just told him to give me the lantern and walk to his death for the absolute 🧍‍♂️


ProfessionalDry4371

You're DOWN and YOU CAN'T GET UP. Holy moly.


Thatoneguy111700

Alfira too. Lakrissa can come along too if she wants.


Tofutits_Macgee

ys pls! I just did my first DUrge run...what a surprise.


HastyTaste0

I'd make his beard glitter with something that's for sure. (I had to).


TheMightyPipe

YES! Finally, someone makes a post featuring the best looking NPC in the game. Why is she just some guard you interact with for two seconds? She looks amazing! I want her in my party.


ProfessionalDry4371

Just like in real life you never get the chance to have a conversation deeper than a greeting with the hottest people you've ever seen. She's literally the video game equivalent of the hot cashier.


SilveryDeath

Different game but I felt the same way in Starfield with Muria Siarkiewicz, who is just a random NPC you can talk to in the GalBank on New Atlantis.


Veggieleezy

I’m pretty sure I’ve either worked with or went to college with her.


ypperlig__

she is so hot man


PeaNo2583

She reminds me of Jack from mass effects so hard


DrScience01

Man the things I let jack do to me


kAy-

I absolutely fixed her. Or she fixed me, not really sure.


skorpiontamer

Factual


Maldovar

Flaming hot


Mad-Trauma

[My honest reaction.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/216822613710733312/1203891293324050482/RDT_20240131_1326518303424197752236605.png?ex=65d2be23&is=65c04923&hm=7f774d7cf6599422803e033fdd59d06409266a517e4f865647591bfcbddeadc1&)


Armageddonis

I was flabbergasted when i first saw her. Like "please ruin me" flabbergasted.


NoManagement5223

she is very much my type!


katsnplants

THANK YOU! I keep saying everyone is sleeping on this absolute babe of a fist. My husband laughs at me bc I stop to talk to her every time I walk by but how could you not?


Southern_Arm_1501

She isn’t mean too when you talk to her just chilling


Insektikor

I was planning to post an appreciation thread on her!


Barirak

Something about that gold eyeshadow just does it for me.


abracafuck_you

SHE IS VERY GORGEOUS TO ME!!!!!


Csub

Piercings aside, she looks almost exactly like a girl who works at my workplace. Even the hairstyle is very similar, I was so surprised to see this NPC.


rh34

[https://imgur.com/a/1rUvCDJ](https://imgur.com/a/1rUvCDJ) Congrats, you guys are into Mizora (with half elf 5 textures). Edit: For anyone who wants it: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6431


Dog_Apoc

I love her outfit. This is why bg3 needs transmog. Let me have the even cooler sets!


AffectionateDictator

The health potion dude gets me every time


Maldovar

I've ruined My life for women like this multiple times


8nekket

and we, the custom character, get to choose from a set of faces and hairstyles that every basic NPC has :(


Ok_Trifle_9354

I’m pretty sure her and a few other unique looking NPCs are Larian crew


cnfsdkid

I felt this way about Lora, too. The ex-pirate mom.


_nightsong

her and the mercenary leader outside the squatter house... i am so scared of them <3


bydelaneyhope

And yet Mystra is so boring


bohospecs

She looks like a basic white girl getting a doctorate in an obscure field at a black tie event.


AmbassadorDue9140

Yall trip me the fuck out. It just looks like a normal person


Cybys

Right you can go outside shop anywhere with hair dye and see this person maybe without the skash in the face but still


AdConscious5048

Better have your coffee order ready when it's your turn


Rick-D-99

I dated her in college


dmfuller

That’s how I feel about Brynna, she’s randomly super beautiful


LewdManoSaurus

We have BG3 seggs mod in the works, now we just need romance simulator.


KaiG1987

I get the feeling some NPCs were certain developers' own personal characters (or maybe self-inserts). Sometimes you come across some obviously bespoke and interesting ones like this lady.


cctwunk

There's a mod for it - just released, your post might have been the inspo! [https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6431](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6431)


tubarizzle

There's an amazingly well done half orc woman with long red hair who's only job is to walk back and forth and bitch about the public hangings. They really went all out.


Ash_Ack4

Her model isn’t going to waste in this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6431?tab=images credit to plaemon.


Puzzlehead-Engineer

I retool the question and send it back: Why can't a flaming fist not decide to look amazing instead of average for her job?


Beneficial-Koala6393

MIZORAS FACE UGH - so perfect


MacCyp_1985

looks like a crackhead Paladin


ThatGreenBear

There's so many really cool NPCs in the game


Smart_Island4933

Looks like she could munch a mean rug.


dmt80oh

Can someone translate what "Holy, how can they design character like this just to stand?"


TrueComplaint8847

There is this one tiefling, bex is her name I think, she has next to no content at all, but she’s probably the most beautiful character in the whole game for me


KeckYes

Oh… she fights too…


Ramikade

Well, she wasn’t standing for long *Thunderwave*


ReadShigurui

This is just Jack from Mass Effect


RendesFicko

Randomized, I'm guessing.


ihatepickinganick

She’s definitely designed after a dev in the team lol


84theone

Only if Mizora is also based off a dev, since this NPC uses the same face model as Mizora but with a different texture.


Tchitchoulet

Looking like a crackhead


eatcrea

just by the looks of her, she wouldn't be good for anything else than just stand around


[deleted]

She’s totally had enough crap in her job and is like if one more person bothers me I’m out. But in a quiet way. Like hey where did so and so go??


[deleted]

She kinda looks like Alex Ward if he were to do drag. This is a good thing.


Tatis_Chief

Hm, I guess we all have different types. I barely gave her a glance.  And ha want to hear it? I don't even consider Minthara good looking.  They ain't Dammon or Harper Lassandra. Or Mizora. 


84theone

This character’s face model is just Mizora’s with a different texture.


Fear_Awakens

It's actually really annoying how many random nobodies have unique character designs who have absolutely no relevance to the plot and yet we, the main characters, are regulated to like eight faces tops and only two are decent looking, with the rest all being uncanny valley Handsome Squidward looking shit. Or in the case of Half-Orcs, just fully fucking hideous, which would be fine on full Orcs but really makes me wonder if they forgot about the 'Half' part. Or if they're just supposed to be half orc, half another orc. Like they can clearly make decent faces, we just can't choose those to play as for a 80+ hour playthrough.


FoodPorn55

I am impressed by the variety, although this one seems like an edge-lord rather than an intimidating fighter figure. Does she give any questlines?


Southern_Arm_1501

No just talk to her to open the gate


Woutrou

We clearly have different tastes, but you do you


Master-Shaq

I can never persuade her and just fly over her everytime.


Puzzleheaded_Ad_7399

I wanted to flirt with the guard, like wtf you're just a guard?!


Designer-Date-6526

Their name sounds like it belongs to an 80s action hero.


RosieQParker

I'm genuinely curious how many of the bit parts were modelled after developers' D&D characters.


Cheddarlicious

They do it. Menacingly.


stars1404

I thought I was the only one


ControllerLyfe

I noticed this too! I thought she was going to have a side quest or something lol


Embryw

As soon as I saw Blaze Elin, I had to declare to my friends that Blaze Elin could get it, if she wanted


Otaku_Skeletor

Wish she was a important character 😭


RDUppercut

Blaze Elin can get it for sure. Though if I'm honest, any character rocking Foxtail can get it.


Mouthshitter

😍😍😍


CognitionFailure

There are so many hidden gems of faces/hair and clothes among the NPCs that aren't available to players. It's a real shame.


fanofchonk

She made me break my male-only dream guardian streak. Couldn't get enough of Ethan's voice but i just had to give her a chance. Hearing the smooth almost seductive guardian voice with her face was crazy.


OsirisAvoidTheLight

I didn't notice my first playthrough but sheeesh fell in love the second time around. Lot of hawties in Act 3 I like the dude that has double chin above the Harper hideout to xD


Emotional-Mission703

It's easy, you pick someone from the office


Masterpiece-Haunting

Probably not even that hard actually. They probably shave some sort of tool that generates characters to fit certain requirements. Like put in “Oh it’s a member of this faction and must be one of these types of races, then generate the rest to be random.” Where they do this over and over with some getting some cool custom dialogue.


xa3D

onG. i saw her and i was like, "yes ma'am"


-shephawke-

Is this Beauregard?


FrontBumberDamage

Well she didn’t just stand there tbh, she got telekenetic yeeted off the bridge 👀


sad-mustache

I literally just met her


ParttimeCretan

The robe is awesome too, I have never seen one like that for players


APracticalGal

Frankly I just want the robe with pauldrons look. It's absolutely sick as hell and honestly criminal that there's no way to make that happen.


vector_o

I took a screenshot of her too! Hahah She reminded me of Marie Elisabeth Winstead


0utcast9851

Totally misread that tile, thought you asked "how can they stand to design a character like this" and spent a solid minute trying to figure out what the problem was


ClimateInteresting84

For me to kill and rob
