Divinity's Character Creation Promises 'More Control' Than Baldur's Gate 3 – But Will It Satisfy the Fans?

Alena Dubrovina, art director for the upcoming Divinity title, confirmed the game will offer 'even better' character creation than Baldur's Gate 3. 'More colors, more options, more control,' she said.

Alena Dubrovina said: 'More colors, more options, more control.'

The developer speculation suggests potential returns of classless systems and tag-based builds—like the 'Shadowblade' archetype from past Divinity titles—which allowed players to mix martial and magical abilities without rigid class constraints.

Previous Divinity games featured unique race options such as cannibal elves and playable skeletons.

Baldur's Gate 3 introduced dream avatar customization, with some players relying on the 'random' button to avoid decision fatigue. Dubrovina's promise of 'more control' may address this 'analysis paralysis' while expanding creative freedom.
