Highlights

  • A player recreated Barbie and Ken in Baldur's Gate 3 using the game's character creator.
  • The game's character creator allows players to create various character builds, including those inspired by other franchises.

A Baldur's Gate 3 player online has shared their impressive character build, which recreates Barbie as Tav with Ken as her in-game Guardian. Almost a year since its initial release, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to produce interesting character builds.

The character creator in Baldur's Gate 3 is arguably one of the most impressive elements of Larian's award-winning RPG. It gives players the tools to create their ideal character, with tons of depth for players to build many different types of playthroughs. While some simply look to create the most overpowered protagonist possible, others instead try to recreate their favorite characters from other franchises instead. Just recently, one Baldur's Gate 3 player created a build based on God of War's Kratos, showing the variety in the kinds of builds the community is creating so far.

Baldur's Gate 3 Roguelike Mod Explained

A new mod adds a roguelike mod to the popular RPG Baldur's Gate 3, allowing gamers to test their limits in battle without bothering with the story.

Redditor uneven_eyeliner shared their fun Baldur's Gate 3 build, which recreates Barbie as a Barbarian and Ken as the in-game Guardian. It works surprisingly well, with the user claiming that while it was made as a joke initially, "I unironically love her and might play her save for a bit. Might have her romance Wyll because he has Ken qualities to me, or Lae'zel because it makes me laugh, or nobody because she's independent queen." It's certainly an interesting take on the character, and it's fun to see how uneven_eyeliner is adapting the build based on the other characters in Baldur's Gate 3.

Barbie and Ken Recreated in Baldur's Gate 3

Thanks to last year's impressive Barbie movie, both the titular character and Ken have had a resurgence in popularity in the mainstream over the last 12 months. This has resulted in players across many different titles recreating the duo, even if it doesn't make sense. For example, one Red Dead Online player recreated Barbie in the game, and while it was cool to see, she stood out like a sore thumb in the Western title. Redditor uneven_eyeliner has done a great job of ensuring Barbie the Barbarian and her Guardian Ken look like they actually belong in the world of Baldur's Gate 3.

It could be the perfect time to jump into Baldur's Gate 3. Larian is currently working on Patch 7 for the game, with a release date currently set for September. It's currently shaping up to be a swan song to Baldur's Gate 3, with the studio having previously confirmed it will soon be moving on to future projects. Patch 7 will see the arrival of modding tools for the game, which should prove to be a "passing of the torch" moment between Larian and the community. With Baldur's Gate 3 reaching its lowest price yet as part of the Steam Summer Sale, there's no better time to get involved in the fun.
