After creating your playable character in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll also have to create a Guardian for yourself. As their title might suggest, the Guardian is there to protect you, though you won’t meet them straight away. Thanks to Baldur’s Gate 3‘s intricate character creation system, players around the world have created some pretty interesting Guardian designs.
The only customization you can do is your Guardian’s appearance, not their class or anything. But still, it’s worth making a neat character you’re excited to see. Do you need a little inspiration for your Guardian? These designs could help to get your creative juices flowing.
A Guardian too hot to handle
With great freedom in their hands, some players have endeavoured to make their Guardians unreasonably attractive. Reddit user /u/RPG-Fluff provides an example of a horned Guardian with purple hair and dazzling eyes. She’s eye candy, as long as you’re into red skin and pointy ears.
Pretty in pink
Your Guardian doesn’t need to be tough and terrifying. As Twitter user @RaximMuadDib illustrates, some well-used shades of pink and purple on a Tiefling can result in an absolutely stunning Guardian. To get the look right, make use of eye makeup and freckles.
Weird and wonderful
You can always go with a regular human or even the typical elf for your Guardian. However, with as much freedom as you have, why not be as weird as possible? That’s the route Twitter user @ASharkSoWinsome went, and the results are pretty interesting. With green skin to match her green eyes, she won’t be forgotten easily.
The Ron Swanson lookalike
With Baldur’s Gate 3, you can fulfil your dream of hanging out with your favorite celeb if you design your Guardian correctly. After some random customization, Reddit user /u/Drevstarn noticed they didn’t need to do much to have their Guardian look like Ron Swanson. Do you see the resemblance?
The wise old man
Your Guardian should be someone you can trust and depend on. This Guardian’s snowy hair lets you know that he has acquired wisdom through years of experience, and he’s ready to pass it on to you. With the wise old man watching over you, there’s nothing to fear.
Since launch, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a runaway hit, receiving great critical reception to match its commercial success. PlayStation 5 players will soon be able to join in on the fun when the game launches on the console on September 6.
