Baldur’s Gate 3 patch lets you change your name whenever you want

A funny story about me: I did not know that “Tav” was the default name for the player character in Baldur’s Gate 3. I thought, like in other role-playing games I’ve played, it was a randomly generated name. “Tav,” I thought when I saw it, “nIt’s not bad for a random number generator.” Then I found out lots of You can also read about other ways to get in touch with us. people have Tavs, and learned the truth: I wasn’t impressed by a random selection; I had settled for vanilla. Mortifying, honestly.

What a relief! Baldur’s Gate 3 Magic Mirror now allows you to edit your name. It’s the same mirror that was added in the game’s massive Patch 3 for players itching to change their character’s appearance, within limits (race and body type are locked). It’s a great way to round out character modifications you want for your own personal use or for roleplay.

The new hotfix also lets players use the Magic Mirror to change the appearance of hirelings, which is great if you’ve always wanted to make a party inspired by the various alter egos of U2 frontman, Bono. I don’t know what kind of pervert would want to do that, though.
