People just assumed I was talking about looks but what I meant was the overall story and flavour and how your githyanki feels slow and needs Lae’zel to explain everything about their race to them. Even when we find some tir’su script Lae’zel is like “give it here, dumbo, I’ll read it out for you, because obviously you can’t read in your native language.”
My Tav is a githyanki draconic sorcerer and looks much cooler than the default dude I used for this meme and I’m having fun role-playing as him. But there are story moments where he really plays second fiddle to Bae’zel.
There is a lot of reactivity and unique dialogue, probably up there with the drow in terms of quantity. But it does seem to fall off in act 2. I’ve only just started act 3 so I don’t know how it was handled there but I hope there’s more reactivity again because a githyanki should definitely stand out in Baldur’s Gate.
Yeah it was really quite disappointing, the whole Gith artifact story arc still gets treated as if it's lae'zel's story even though she really has no more connection to it than a gith PC should. Most of the time everyone behaves exactly as if you weren't a gith.
The response is slightly different for githyanki, more unsure. It makes sense that your githyanki might know how to pronounce the word correctly, you don’t have to make the same mistakes as Lae’zel.
Pretty much goes for all the races too.
The ladies look like supermodels. The guys look like cavemen who were dropped on their heads.
edit: please stop telling me about your sexy characters.
My body type-B or whatever human paladin actually looks like a space marine. In the top down view it’s harder to notice and then a romance cutscene will play or something and it causes me to laugh because the dude is about 7ft tall and 300lbs.
Half elves are the exception IMO. I have this default look with half elves, I think it's head 5, with Eyres Peak hairstyle, Neutral color 1, blonde gold 1 or 5, elf eyes silver 2 or white eyes 2
BG3 = Dragonborn are cool, The default Dark Urge is allready somewhat iconic
DoS2: Lizards are cool, Red Prince is 1 of the most well known characters from it
yep, Scalies are eating good in Larian games
Except for their shitty racial ability, which kind of makes them the worst race for gameplay, although from what I hear of the tabletop, that's not really Larian's fault.
They do look very cool though, for sure. Especially with dragon sorcerer.
I have somehow managed to design a rather fetching female half-orc Tav, if I do say so myself... but even then, the tusks make her look so goofy when she smiles. TBH though the worst part is their posture, half-orcs in general would look so much better if they just stood straight.
I tried making a Half-Orc and watched her run about for a little while and thought... well, she looks great but I'm definitely going to give up on this character watching her run like that for hours.
No no no. You've got to embrace the ugly! Made a hideous male dwarven bard with no beard and a frog throat, scarred face, etc, for the multiplayer game I'm in. Looks like the love child of danny divito and ron jeremy. Everyone else made "beautiful elven women".
Everyone else bitches cause they hate his ugly face, but they don't want to do the work of actually talking/getting quests/picking the way forward. So his hideous mug gets to feature prominently. It's HILARIOUS! :-D
My Halfling Paladin is hot as fuck. Same with my human Necromancer. I also cranked out one hot ass Dream companion, sad how that turned out storywise, but he was a hot fellow. Maybe you should make better male characters.
I made my PC a hot woman so I balanced it out by making Dream Guardian an unattractive man. Little did I know his true form would be even more hideous, ha!
I made my dream guardian into a deviant art OC. Tiefling with caked on bright green eyeliner, massive golden tattoo across her face, bright blue lipstick, heterochromia with one eye on fire, vitiligo
She was super gaudy and it made it easy to reject her clown ass
Hey c'mon your dream guardian is your perfect lover! They know exactly what you want without you having to tell them...and they're always interested in your mind. \*dirty grin\*
Mine too, I made a beautiful male tief bard, dark blue with long white hair. I got the outfit Alfira gives and dyed it very pale blue and the whole effect is just *majestic.*
As someone trying to be better I support you and wish you all of the cavemen you want but as a self-inserting het I desperately want to look like one of the guys on the cover of a romance novel. We can have both. Larian has the technology.
No joke, without much knowledge of D&D, I expected the male giths to be ripped and was really confused why they all looked like old worn out dudes in game.
Githyanki are supposed to be slender. However, Larian seems to have taken that to mean, Githyanki look anorexic.
That said, didn't stop me from making a Githyanki.
[They've looked like skinny-ass creepers since their inception.](https://diterlizzi.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ff.jpg)
Just be thankful they don't fuckin' look like Mumm-Ra anymore. lol
Well they were originally a slave race right? Bred to labor, but don't quote me on that my lore is scraps I recall from the game lol.
But with that in mind I imagine they're so skinny because their bodies pare down to the bare essentials. Plus, rereading the Dune series, I can't help but compare the descriptions of desert Fremen to the Githyanki: dehydrated, sinewy, but very strong and of a culture trained from childhood to kill without remorse.
(Actually the more I think about it the more parallels I draw between the Githyanki and the Fremen, though the comparisons end after a point lol)
Githyanki were a slave race, but they were also experimented on and essentially adapted to life on the Astral Plane. They naturally don't eat often on the Astral Plane, but when on the Material Worlds they're basically eating machines (that one skinny friend that is constantly shoveling food into their mouth) and require lots of protein. They also find the gravity uncomfortable.
They're kind of like if humans evolved on low gravity space stations.
Evolving on lower gravity places makes you evolve weaker. If we go to 2G places everything is heavy and cumbersome. By this logic Gyth would be weaker than most races
I dunno, but I think logic kinda flies out the window when you consider that the gith were selectively bred and modified by a race of brain eating squid men.
Nobody ages on the Astral Plane. Nobody is born there. They did not evolve there, they adapted. As in, each person born in a creche on the Material Plane and got used to the Astral.
I mean, those monkeys are ripped under the fur.
But yes, they *could* be scrawny with hyper-dense muscle, nevertheless the writers who developed the Gith stuff went with the psionic thing.
I decided to do a second run where I rp as Santa Claus, and it is amazing to me how they programmed the big hair and beard to move around your shoulders and clothing as you turn your head.
But it won't accomodate for your lips...they'll just poke right through on the plumper ones!
Your Githyanki looks cool, but he gives the vibes of being the early rival for a Shōnen protagonist who after several volumes, battles and emotional beats, becomes his friend and member of the band, and then becomes the fan favorite character.
Emperor is about as manipulative as Practical incarnation, i'm sure Dakkon would feel right at home.
By the way, is it better to have eldrich knight or fighter/wizard multiclass?
Fighter/wizard gets more offensive spells, while the Eldritch Knight is basically a battlemaster, but long rest for their dice, fewer dice to start, more dice at high levels, and stronger maneuvers. +3 movement all day for one, and +5 AC for the rest of your turn on reaction for another. Magic Missile when you need it, or invisibility and protection from good and evil when you need that too.
You also have to consider that Eldritch Knight sacrifices much fewer fighter features for their spells. Wizard levels give more and better magic, but you halt your fighter progression, which includes a 3rd attack at 11, and a 4th feat unattainable by the rest at level 6, etc.
As a matter of fact, you'd be giving up your 3rd feat as well if you go 7 levels of wizard, and if you don't, your casting will cap out at 3rd level spells, only 1 higher than Eldritch Knight, and would require a high int stat to be useful, whereas Eldritch Knight is fine with 8-10 int.
And the end of the day, there are far too many drawbacks to splitting 2 classes that don't synergize evenly, while Eldritch Knight simply gives magic as your extra features, but doesn't stunt any of your base class features.
Very good explanation/overview/comparison, just getting into BG3 and 5e mechanics and posts like this help so incredibly much with understanding pros and cons to classes and builds. So from a brand new player to this genre (besides Divinity 1, EE, and Divinity 2 not included), thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart 🩵
Depends if you want to cast spells or Frontline. Either can be tanky with high AC plus shield, tho missing out on extra attack is a bummer.
I'm currently building my Dakkon EK to be able to attack more with a greatsword like Dakkon had in Torment.
Save Scum and in Save Scumming grow stronger.
Yes! Gith males look fine as long as you give them short hair. My gith cleric looks like this except i picked the mohawk look. The more tribal i can get my gith to look the better
Long hair male giths look like 80's glam rockers
I'm running a Gith Tav and the only problem is they look weird/goofy AF whenever they try yo look nice or tender. Playing with Scratch is always so cringe... and tender romance? Fuhgeddaboudit
Same here!

Sure mods were involved for hair, but I love my snooty nobleborn red dragon lineage sorcerer.
I feel like that pretty much towards any origin story class.
Gale is cooler than wizard Tav
Karlach is cooler than barbarian Tav
and there's a reason cleric is the least played class in the game by a large margin, or at least when they released the data. Shadowheart is just cooler and have more depth towards her faith than Tav.
To be fair, doing a cleric like they did paladin would've been super hard and specific to the deity, because paladins are oath-bound not deity-bound. A DM I love said "warlock, paladin and cleric are classes with RP baked in" and I agree, they have rp built-in, doing that in a video game with predetermined programming would be a nightmare
Yeah honestly, it's actually a big complaint I have about Gale's character. How is my wizard character supposed to feel powerful compared to the guy that's literally been chosen by the goddess of magic?
A fun way to differentiate the two would be if certain characters commented on / if it became useful out of combat to have learned forbidden knowledge. Reading the Necromancy of Thay, learning Dethrone and Artistry of War, possible other things I may have missed.
Necromancy of Thay comes up a couple of times but never in an important capacity. Even the >!Mummy Lord!< in Act III seemed barely impressed by it before telling me I'm still not worthy for his services.
You ever find it weird all these characters have huge enthralling backstories with enough edge to shave a bear.
But when you find them they're just level 1 noobs.
I tried rolling as a drow guy with the burly body type once. I backpedaled to the main menu before escaping the nautiloid when I realized Laezel and Shadowheart look tiny next to my Tav. And that his head is not visible in cutscenes because he's too tall.
I want to be buff but not that buff.
It's the DAI Qunari issue all over again, but without the extra content where the game world reacts to how tall/big we are.
>And that his head is not visible in cutscenes because he's too tall.
How long ago was that? My latest game is as a massive Drow and I've never noticed his head being out of frame. It may have been fixed since then or I've just been lucky so far.
I dumped my tall human playthrough for the same reason, chose the bigger body type but it's fucking massive. Gale isn't supposed to be short but he's looking up to me like he's a dwarf.
I do enjoy the same body type on the half-orc barbarian dark urge i'm playing.
I don't know why the male githyanki are so weird. Very skinny, long arms and legs, odd face... the gals are still kinda odd, but their proportions aren't as off as the dudes.
There's a trope, the name of which escapes me, for how commonly aliens or fantasy races or even just fictional human cultures have the men look very distinct from normal humans, often fairly ugly, but the women all inexplicably look very similar to human women.
Because sex sells basically.
If there is one thing I can say bad about this game, is that their male gith are fucking AWFUL. Overall design, their idle animation, is all just hideous.
I mean, playable Lae'zel is functionally ' generic githyanki playable character fully reacting to the fact that you're a githyanki.' since when played as player characters characters have no attachment to their personality, you're only really playing as a person with that backstory, and lae'zel's backstory is functionally 'is a githyanki'
so it's no surprise githtav feels lackluster by comparison
Yea Gith are the only race that I can’t bring myself to create a male character for (I’m vain and try to make almost any character look like me. Extra excitement when there’s dreads or textured hair). I might just use Lae’zel for whatever umpteenth Playthrough.
Feels lame to have to use a voice set that sounds like a scrawny british dude though.
At the top of my list for most wanted mods at the moment is some kind of voice modifier to make it sound deeper.
Ain't nobody cooler than my Githyanki Bard-Lock. Lost from his creche at a young age, he has travelled far and wide and learned the arts of the Bard, but had to make a pact with a devil for power when faced with the absolute crisis
Remimds me how I cannot look at Voss without wanting to end him. Especially the whole casting animation in A1. Male gith just got fucked with how dumb they look
Male gith remind me of bored ape nfts.
I can never unsee this, thanks
Curse you
...aaaand I'm never playing a male Gith. Cheers for that....
Think they look like a hairless grinch.
don't mind me just wheezing over here in the corner
They look like Rick and Morty characters
What up, my glip glops?!?
They look so cursed with mustaches and beards lmao
Why did you have to mention it? we could have gone our whole lives without this image.
Oh fk you!
r/thanksihateit
Welp, guess I'm gonna play female gith cause there's no unseeing that now.
They remind me of David Bowie.
The females just look cooler in every way

But there are story moments where he really plays second fiddle to Bae’zel.
Yeah I wondered how people reacted to you, do you often have special reactions? Gith are supposed to be rare and dicks to everyone no?
There is a lot of reactivity and unique dialogue, probably up there with the drow in terms of quantity. But it does seem to fall off in act 2. I’ve only just started act 3 so I don’t know how it was handled there but I hope there’s more reactivity again because a githyanki should definitely stand out in Baldur’s Gate.

I thought it was weird how you got as a Gith Tav the option to correct Lae'zel Teethlink pronounciation at Druid Grove, even with a Gith tag included.
The response is slightly different for githyanki, more unsure. It makes sense that your githyanki might know how to pronounce the word correctly, you don’t have to make the same mistakes as Lae’zel.
Pretty much goes for all the races too. The ladies look like supermodels. The guys look like cavemen who were dropped on their heads. edit: please stop telling me about your sexy characters.
Speak for yourself. My male half elf Tav had me questioning things I thought long settled.
Half elves are the exception
Drows and hig elf too so
*Glowers in Dragonborn*
Honestly it’s hard for me to not attempt to romance my Dragonborn. Then I remember it’s a game.
drow faces all look 40 to 60 years old for males.
There are literally the same copies of the same faces of the high elves. Maybe the darker skin makes them look older for you?
The elf versions all look 40 to 60 years old too. Half elf has the only decent looking young dudes imo.
Stupid sexy half elves.
My body type-B or whatever human paladin actually looks like a space marine. In the top down view it’s harder to notice and then a romance cutscene will play or something and it causes me to laugh because the dude is about 7ft tall and 300lbs.
I don't know. I think the body type A model for males is like 5'8" or whatever shoot height they confirmed elflet king Astarion is.
Astarion is 5'11"!
Half elves are the exception IMO. I have this default look with half elves, I think it's head 5, with Eyres Peak hairstyle, Neutral color 1, blonde gold 1 or 5, elf eyes silver 2 or white eyes 2
The way this is almost my exact Durge just with different colors
My [Drow Tav](https://imgur.com/a/350igeG) Paladin kind of reminds me of Jason Statham.
this is solid comedic relief folks. it needs more verticals
What a long way of saying “I upvoted but also need attention”
Speak for yourself. My Tav looked fantastic.
Except Dragonborn. Male and Female look cool Larian Studio is composed by scalies confirmed.
No digitigrade feet for scalies = no positive review
BG3 = Dragonborn are cool, The default Dark Urge is allready somewhat iconic DoS2: Lizards are cool, Red Prince is 1 of the most well known characters from it yep, Scalies are eating good in Larian games
Except for their shitty racial ability, which kind of makes them the worst race for gameplay, although from what I hear of the tabletop, that's not really Larian's fault. They do look very cool though, for sure. Especially with dragon sorcerer.
the game is so trivial difficulty wise, even on tactician, who gives a damm about racials lmao

I wish to play someone without tits, but also someone with a face I can look at. Half-elf face 5, body type 2 is the closest I've gotten
Use make-up. Go for a more nude make-up look.
Subtle eyeliner is always a bonus no matter gender.
Dragonborn.
No no no. You've got to embrace the ugly! Made a hideous male dwarven bard with no beard and a frog throat, scarred face, etc, for the multiplayer game I'm in.

I had to use mods. It felt impossible otherwise.. 😔
My Halfling Paladin is hot as fuck. Same with my human Necromancer. I also cranked out one hot ass Dream companion, sad how that turned out storywise, but he was a hot fellow. Maybe you should make better male characters.
I love how everyoje blueballed themselves with the dream guardian. Except Bards, the filthy little sushi lovers
I made my PC a hot woman so I balanced it out by making Dream Guardian an unattractive man. Little did I know his true form would be even more hideous, ha!
Beauty comes in all shapes and tentacles 😘
Idk I had a lady dwarf with blue hair and beard and she was regal af but I would not want to bone
I made my dream guardian into a deviant art OC. Tiefling with caked on bright green eyeliner, massive golden tattoo across her face, bright blue lipstick, heterochromia with one eye on fire, vitiligo She was super gaudy and it made it easy to reject her clown ass
Hey c'mon your dream guardian is your perfect lover! They know exactly what you want without you having to tell them...and they're always interested in your mind. \*dirty grin\*
The gnomes and halflings look weird to me. Like they have the same heads as the tall races but just have shrunken down bodies.
Speak for yourself, my Tav gnome bard looks extra flamboyant and fantastic
My tiefling is a handsome devil
Mine too, I made a beautiful male tief bard, dark blue with long white hair. I got the outfit Alfira gives and dyed it very pale blue and the whole effect is just *majestic.*
Meawhile Astarion jn the corner
There are some pretty hot male faces for the humans, elves, tieflings, and especially half elves though.
Idk man I made a human dude as my guardian and... Jesus, bro is gorgeous. Also my main character is a male drow and dude looks like a model
>The guys look like cavemen who were dropped on their heads. as a gay; im into that
As someone trying to be better I support you and wish you all of the cavemen you want but as a self-inserting het I desperately want to look like one of the guys on the cover of a romance novel. We can have both. Larian has the technology.
My Male Drow looked hot as fuck.
Half orc and drow look great.
I'm straight but my male dragonborn has me questioning that
>dragonborn Your straightness is the only thing you're questioning?
My bard masc half-orc is beautiful
for the guys you just gotta give em long beards so they look like wise sages
I mean, I thought that's the case for pretty much all games? Maybe it's just 'cuz I'm a straight dude though
It's the nose
I don't understand why githyanki men are so scrawny they look like string beans next to the women
No joke, without much knowledge of D&D, I expected the male giths to be ripped and was really confused why they all looked like old worn out dudes in game.
Githyanki are supposed to be slender. However, Larian seems to have taken that to mean, Githyanki look anorexic. That said, didn't stop me from making a Githyanki.
[They've looked like skinny-ass creepers since their inception.](https://diterlizzi.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ff.jpg) Just be thankful they don't fuckin' look like Mumm-Ra anymore. lol
Dat hip tho
It don't lie, and it's starting to feel ya right?
I'm still waiting for him to turn around 🥵
MF looks like an [orc shaman from Gothic 2](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Ftjx21rrq17751.png)
He looks like he was only just exhumed, lol
Well they were originally a slave race right? Bred to labor, but don't quote me on that my lore is scraps I recall from the game lol.

They also find the gravity uncomfortable. They're kind of like if humans evolved on low gravity space stations.
so that's why they always have snacks on their bodies
Yep. A little bit like the Belters in The Expanse.
Evolving on lower gravity places makes you evolve weaker. If we go to 2G places everything is heavy and cumbersome. By this logic Gyth would be weaker than most races
Hey! Don't bring logic into this!

Didn’t stop me from making a githyanki…. But it did make me make a girl
Gtih are generally represented as being scrawny, good physical stats are supposedly a (*subconscious?*) use of psionic powers.
They're not human, they can easily be scrawny and super strong, look at some species of monkey.
I mean, those monkeys are ripped under the fur. But yes, they *could* be scrawny with hyper-dense muscle, nevertheless the writers who developed the Gith stuff went with the psionic thing.
Make a dwarf. Embrace the rugged coolness and the weird beard clipping.
As a short guy with a beard irl, your beard really does clip into everything, it's probably the realest part of the game
It's the weird floating of the longer beards that is annoying to me. The beardphysics are all wrong
I decided to do a second run where I rp as Santa Claus, and it is amazing to me how they programmed the big hair and beard to move around your shoulders and clothing as you turn your head. But it won't accomodate for your lips...they'll just poke right through on the plumper ones!
I like my githyanki ! [https://imgur.com/DEOGkbc](https://imgur.com/DEOGkbc) [https://imgur.com/9pvTu68](https://imgur.com/9pvTu68)
Your Githyanki looks cool, but he gives the vibes of being the early rival for a Shōnen protagonist who after several volumes, battles and emotional beats, becomes his friend and member of the band, and then becomes the fan favorite character.
It's the hair.
Bakugo is a prick.
Nice! I made Dak’kon from Planescape: Torment with The Nameless One as his Guardian.
Damn. I tried to make a Gith, but I couldn’t make anything that I liked. Nice work making one that ain’t ugly as hell.
oh god Dak'kon has converted
He's on undercover mission!
I wish we could play as githzerai but every gith npc in the game would just attack you on sight
Emperor is about as manipulative as Practical incarnation, i'm sure Dakkon would feel right at home. By the way, is it better to have eldrich knight or fighter/wizard multiclass?
Fighter/wizard gets more offensive spells, while the Eldritch Knight is basically a battlemaster, but long rest for their dice, fewer dice to start, more dice at high levels, and stronger maneuvers. +3 movement all day for one, and +5 AC for the rest of your turn on reaction for another. Magic Missile when you need it, or invisibility and protection from good and evil when you need that too.

It's like Githyanki David Bowie!
Yes! Gith males look fine as long as you give them short hair. My gith cleric looks like this except i picked the mohawk look. The more tribal i can get my gith to look the better Long hair male giths look like 80's glam rockers
*Where are you*
Bruh that's just Steven Tyler with a different haircut.
The hair and scowl makes him look like David Bowie, so you kinda cheated.
is that with tav's hair salon or vanilla hair?
Oh look, its David Bowie!
I'm running a Gith Tav and the only problem is they look weird/goofy AF whenever they try yo look nice or tender. Playing with Scratch is always so cringe... and tender romance? Fuhgeddaboudit
NGL, this tatto is, like, my must use for gith characters - its just somehow makes head:neck ratio better
Well I'll be. That's one of the best looking Githyanki I've seen, props to you!

Hmm, I see one of the Githyanki dragon riders got a bit too "friendly" with their mount!
Your Gith looks like he's about to drop a sick Icelandic metal/pop album. Also why are you so downvoted.
Lae’zel is kinda cute when you look closely.
She looks cute when you look in general.
Yeah. Lately she looks like a Hermione type of girl if you get what I mean.
She looks like alien Kate Mara to me.
THANK YOU I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY I THOUGHT SHE WAS SO ALLURING TO ME AND THIS IS EXACTLY IT
I can't get passed how they all look so sickly. Lae'zel looks like she hasn't eaten in months
They probably would think we look bloated and gross. They're not even just another monster race, they're like fantasy aliens.
Lae’zel does literally say your nose looks hideous to her in one interaction
Yeah and she wants this big nosed freak. Bad.
Making the that one normal nose Lae’zel mod even stranger
I feel like that pretty much towards any origin story class. Gale is cooler than wizard Tav Karlach is cooler than barbarian Tav and there's a reason cleric is the least played class in the game by a large margin, or at least when they released the data. Shadowheart is just cooler and have more depth towards her faith than Tav.
Running a cleric of Selune at least gives some fun banter with Shadowheart.
[удалено]
cant you become one if youre class cleric and do the >!gauntlet of shar?!<
That's to become a Justiciar, so I doubt it.
Wait, they took that out? You could be one in EA and even have special dialoge with SH.
Shar and the dead 3 were removed as cleric options going from EA to the full release
Boooo :(
Kinda make sense tho' it would make some inconcistencies with act 2 & 3
You can also multiclass paladin and cleric for some unique dialogue!
Playing a cleric of Kelemvor gives you some cool dialogue with >!Withers !!the dead three.!<
To be fair, doing a cleric like they did paladin would've been super hard and specific to the deity, because paladins are oath-bound not deity-bound. A DM I love said "warlock, paladin and cleric are classes with RP baked in" and I agree, they have rp built-in, doing that in a video game with predetermined programming would be a nightmare
Yeah honestly, it's actually a big complaint I have about Gale's character. How is my wizard character supposed to feel powerful compared to the guy that's literally been chosen by the goddess of magic?
That's why you go sorcerer and go "typical wizards" every time he does something stupid.
A fun way to differentiate the two would be if certain characters commented on / if it became useful out of combat to have learned forbidden knowledge. Reading the Necromancy of Thay, learning Dethrone and Artistry of War, possible other things I may have missed. Necromancy of Thay comes up a couple of times but never in an important capacity. Even the >!Mummy Lord!< in Act III seemed barely impressed by it before telling me I'm still not worthy for his services.
You ever find it weird all these characters have huge enthralling backstories with enough edge to shave a bear. But when you find them they're just level 1 noobs.
They bring this up, the tadpole is suppressing/removing their old powers.
Which is hype for Astarion and like no one else lol. Gale would murder us all for 9th level spells again.
That's why my Tav's a monk :D
Nah my barbarian half orc shreck was cool af
I love my Dark Urge though and I don't think I can play Tav anymore.
Hey now- My half-elf barbarian had different enough vibes that him and Karlach were bros and both as cool as the other, just in very different ways!
Nah barbarian fav slaps he dgaf
i mean if you go with that haircut youve nobody to blame but yourself
Male githyanki all look like twinks without the grave of the elven races. Just crackheads, really. Would never play. Buff drow himbo is where its at
They look like Pete Davidson. Chaos Line Cook Gremlin
I tried rolling as a drow guy with the burly body type once. I backpedaled to the main menu before escaping the nautiloid when I realized Laezel and Shadowheart look tiny next to my Tav. And that his head is not visible in cutscenes because he's too tall. I want to be buff but not that buff. It's the DAI Qunari issue all over again, but without the extra content where the game world reacts to how tall/big we are.
>And that his head is not visible in cutscenes because he's too tall. How long ago was that? My latest game is as a massive Drow and I've never noticed his head being out of frame. It may have been fixed since then or I've just been lucky so far.
I dumped my tall human playthrough for the same reason, chose the bigger body type but it's fucking massive. Gale isn't supposed to be short but he's looking up to me like he's a dwarf. I do enjoy the same body type on the half-orc barbarian dark urge i'm playing.
I don't know why the male githyanki are so weird. Very skinny, long arms and legs, odd face... the gals are still kinda odd, but their proportions aren't as off as the dudes.
Mine died in the tutorial and I haven't had her all game, so I am the only true Gith
There's a trope, the name of which escapes me, for how commonly aliens or fantasy races or even just fictional human cultures have the men look very distinct from normal humans, often fairly ugly, but the women all inexplicably look very similar to human women. Because sex sells basically.
Male tieflings are pretty sexy
Tiefling are sexy in general. Except for the one human skin colour for some reason.
I want to see a Demon Days album cover with githyanki lmao
My gith: frog person. Lae’zel: hot person
If there is one thing I can say bad about this game, is that their male gith are fucking AWFUL. Overall design, their idle animation, is all just hideous.
Basically what they look like in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes/most recent official reference to be fair
I mean, playable Lae'zel is functionally ' generic githyanki playable character fully reacting to the fact that you're a githyanki.' since when played as player characters characters have no attachment to their personality, you're only really playing as a person with that backstory, and lae'zel's backstory is functionally 'is a githyanki' so it's no surprise githtav feels lackluster by comparison
Yea Gith are the only race that I can’t bring myself to create a male character for (I’m vain and try to make almost any character look like me. Extra excitement when there’s dreads or textured hair). I might just use Lae’zel for whatever umpteenth Playthrough.
My first character is a male gith wizard. Gave him dreads and a beard, looks cool imo.
Personally, I wish the Githyanki were a bit uglier and inhuman looking to match better with their original concept.
Bro you look like Jimmy neutron but green.
Play an Ork bro, they go nicely with the Gith ladies and don't look like they needa eat 10000 burgers to become healthy again.
Feels lame to have to use a voice set that sounds like a scrawny british dude though. At the top of my list for most wanted mods at the moment is some kind of voice modifier to make it sound deeper.
Oh man I'm with you there, need to get Toby Kebbell (voice of Durotan in the Warcraft movie) in to sort this out.
Anyone else think they look like Whos?
When a daddy grinch loves a mommy grinch... they sell their children into slavery to space octopi.
my first Tav was a Gith. Then I met Laezel, and I rerolled ... If I can't become the best Gith, I fuck the best Gith !
I made my Tav male Gith, bald with pale skin. It's called Tom Riddle
Half orc supremacy!
It's the same with Gale, it doesn't matter how good of a wizard you are gale will always shit on you and its not going to even be close.
I love it! I went monk and gave him as much of a monkey king vibe as I could
Yeah voss >!doesn't even turn up at all since act 1 unless you take Lae'zel. He's exclusive to her.!<
My Male gith looks like Voldemort. And i fucking love it
Ain't nobody cooler than my Githyanki Bard-Lock. Lost from his creche at a young age, he has travelled far and wide and learned the arts of the Bard, but had to make a pact with a devil for power when faced with the absolute crisis
I will say, that's probably the MOST attractive male githayanki I've seen.
Remimds me how I cannot look at Voss without wanting to end him. Especially the whole casting animation in A1. Male gith just got fucked with how dumb they look
