Early access data from Baldur’s Gate 3 indicates that players build characters that are too boring.
Larian Studios shares the first data collected from the early access of Baldur’s Gate 3. As a joke, the team has shown a character as a result of the most used customization options by players so far.
“We want to share something that you created yourselves (it’s your fault) through the choices in the character creator. We have taken the most popular options in the editor to recreate this. We thought that our Reviews system is not working. We look at it. It worked ”, they comment in a post on the official Steam forums.
This is the result of your choices.
“Congratulations, you’ve basically created the generic vault dweller. What the hell is wrong with you. We give you demon eyes, horns and even tails. We are very disappointed. Do crazy things. We have worked hard working on this. ” To achieve such a level of quality, they used 3D face scans of actors and models. Up to 40 people went through his photoshoot.

Data and content
Larian acknowledges that there are “a lot of analytics” running in the background, so they will offer more data about the community in future updates. The system works anonymously, that is, they receive the information without knowing from which computer or player it comes. This helps them understand how users play Baldur’s Gate 3, how they can improve it, and where the sources of any problems they encounter are coming from.

During our impressions, our editorial coordinator Francisco Alberto Serrano put the magnifying glass on the reasons for this early access. He said that it is a way of seeing “how it evolves and even trying to help the Belgian team with well-founded opinions”.
The current content offers around 20 hours of gameplay, progression up to level 4, and replayability. “If you are used to the idea of Early Access and you know what you are going for, it is not a bad investment if you are clear that you are going to play it yes or yes, taking into account that you are paying for the final game in advance, with the right to the period test. But if you are not in a particular hurry or eager to see what Larian is cooking, it is preferable to wait a few months to find something more complete, “he concludes.
