Baldur's Gate 3: 11 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

11. Avoid Conflicting Categories In Character Creation

Baldur’s Gate 3 comes with an incredible character creator, but since there are so many options available it's quite easy to feel overwhelmed. This is especially true when so many of the selections contradict one another. To avoid being engulfed by these choices, start by choosing your class, as this decision will determine what other choices remain viable for your character build.

A warlock, for example, needs a charisma ability score that is pretty high, as this will determine his spellcasting ability. As such it will be best to choose a race for your character that is quite charismatic, such as a tiefling or half-elf, which both receive an additional 2 ability points added to their charisma score.

So be sure to check which ability scores need to be the highest for your selected class, and then make the rest of your decisions based on this knowledge. A warlock with a high strength but low charisma ability score will battle to land a hit on enemies and be virtually handicapped for the remainder of your playthrough, after all, so pay attention or pay the price.
